PureIT / Hindustan Unilever Complaints & Reviews

I have purchased pureit marvella ro+uv on 21st feb 2018 and now on 24th june 2019 it stopped working.

I have booked a complaint for the same and the support representative visited my machine and said that the circuit board is not working and causing issue. He advised that it needs to be replaced and that will gonna cost me somewhere between[protected].

I have asked how can the circuit could get infected but he haven't any asnswer for that. To get my machine fixed i haved asked him to replace the faulty part, but he said that the part is not in stock and i have to wait for another day.
From last 4 days i am waiting for the same.

Due to this i am purchasing water from outside or borrowing from the neighbours from last 4 days.

My question is, how can a machine become unresponsive in that short time and become a burden. It looks selecting hul pureit product was the worst choice i have made.
My brother is using aquaguard and that is working fine from last 4 yrs without any issues and even customer support service is far better.

Sir in reference to my earlier complaint your service centre taj service. Mob no +[protected] contacted me (On saturday 22 june) and gave esurance that they will send their mechanic to my home on monday 24 june. To solve my problem because next day is sunday. Today 25 june. They never sent their mechanic never reply my call. The service man attanded my home to change the battery is mr. Sunil rai. His mob no is [protected]. I called him repeatedly but each n everytime he gave reply i will visit tomorrow sir what should i do now. Is this the service of your company? Now i'm fad up.. Shall i go to consumer court to solve my problem.. Please do needful otherwise i will have to take other action..

I purchased a HINDUSTAN UNILEVER Pureit Advanced Germkill Kit (3000L) for WATER PURIFIER(23L) for Rs 990/- on 07/05/2019 from City Varieties, Burdwan. The representative from City varieties replaced the Advanced Germkill kit on the same day. But the battery indicator has become completely red on 17/06/2019 and overflowing of water from the Water Purifier has occurred.
The total number of members in our family is six (6) and drinking water consumption is approximately 15 litres per day. So the minimum life of the Germkill Kit is expected to be 6 months for our family. I expect a free of cost replacement of the product from the company as early as possible

I called pure-it customer care for the replacement of the filter, they said the technician will call and visit in 72hrs for replacement after 72hrs i called again & have been calling everyday as they say that they will send technician in priority basis within a day. It's been a week now. The calls are charged and 21st jan i called & the agent mr. Naidu said he would make a follow up call to check the technician visit, but no calls from technician or mr. Naidu.

Sir I have pureit classic model.i have purchased new kit of battery of 3000 liter on 13 June 2019. Your service person has fit the same in my machine. But after his went the water likage problem arrived.the water is going over flow from transparent part of machine.i immediately complaint to service person & service centre.they assured me to solve the problem.but now more than 7days past but no one solve the problem.they replied they don't have the part as when part received they will solve the problem. Sir how many days I have to wait, please do the needful.

I have purchased Pureit Ro+Mf advanced on end of October, 2018. After installation we started using it on mid of November. Our daily water consumption is approx 10-12 ltr per day.
We have noticed that the water flow is getting reduced since end of May, 2019. Now, in this month, we could get hardly 3-5 ltrs after a very very long time running this machine.

I have complained Pureit, and their service provider near our locality sent service person at our home. After checking he said, the Ultrafiltration membrane is damaged and also the water flow controller kit is also need to change.
Moreover, we came to know that those all equipment are not under Warranty. What a surprise !!!
A filtering machine's Filter related items are not under warranty.

Then what are under warranty??? - The upper cover box(that is of plastic), only the electrical parts and the Service is free under warranty.

GREAT !!!

We all know, these internal filtration related items are being hampered while using. So, this warranty policy is completely a cheating to the customers. They never tells us that those items are not under warranty coverage. Ultimately a product of 10, 000/- costs around 20, 000/- after 2 or 3 years.

I believe, they puts the warranty terms and conditions by their own. So, our honorable government should look at this matter.

I bought Pureit classic 14 ltr purifier from Manjeri, Malappuram Dist, kerala two months before. After one month o[censored]sage, it started leaking through the Germ Kill kit. The indicator on it is still white colour (not used up which will make it red). Now I realize that the HUL company made this rubbish product with stupid ideas which made most of their customers disappointed.

Dear Sir I purchased the Batter kit in Hanmakonda Local Shop 20 Days Back. My self Replaced It. But It was Not Working. Water Not Filtering. I Have Cleaned Completely and Replaced it back.but Problem not Resolved. So kindly Assist me with the Solution. My mail I'd is [protected]@gmail.com. I hope You People Solve My Problem as soon as possible.
Thanking You

I have asked for a HUL associate to come and replace GKK2 during last weel. After he has changed the GKK2, there was leakage issue and control circuit got damaged. Contact no of associate - [protected]. He told me not to report to HUL customer care and call me instead. I did that, he came next day the device was working. He has clened the electric chip the display and after that it started blinking. its not working anymore. When we called him immediately, he asked us to wait till morning and assured us that it will work in morning. He came next day and told us that the part is faulty now and needs replacment at 5500/- INR. This is purely due to his fault. I raised this to HUL customer care. I feel cheated as this is due to fault o[censored]ntrained assoicate of HUL. From last 8 days we are drinking purchased water and HUL is only promising to send senior engineer but sending no one.

Hi Srinivasan/Team,

I have received below message from your team on May15 regarding my complaint . So far no one visited and I had received a call from one of the service center, after taking the details over the phone they said it’s an issue with power adapter.

It’s been 15days no one bother to give the update from Unilever, as it’s an essential needs for day to day requirement. Now I have to depend totally on external water source.

It’s really unsatisfying to know the kind of service I have receiving after so many calls to Pureit customer care still no one bother to provide the resolution on it. I will make sure this would be socialized on different social media platforms.

: Thanks for registering ur Complaint CO[protected] with Pureit. Our Service Technician will visit u within 24 HRS. Pl call [protected] for any query:

I already bought a Advance Germ Kill full kit 3000litre in the 24 April'2019by Rs:1099/- From your Companys service Provider"Karuna Enterprise" from kolkata location area.Last 3-days that filter was not working it's become red as indicator board.Problem is that your authorized serivce provider name provided earlier is not providing my Advance Germ kill kit 3000 litere kit, they told me they can provide only 1500 litere as a replacement purpose they said it's a company rules.When am paid the money for 3000litere germ kill kit earlier, they why should i compromise..It's your company default product, that they are provided us.it should be better that you will replace by 3000lite advance germ kill kit with the older one.Otherwise, you company will big pay for that.

A year ago i purchased pureit ro+mineral, recently there is a indication for changing sf, so we called customer center and they said since warenty over this service will be charged.. So i accepted. And service person inspected pureit and control circuit and said control circuit is damaged and 5500 will be charged to replace it.. If a product doesnt perform well for 3 years.. Why to sell it in market.. Seen many similar complaints on pureit.. Can you please suggest us what to do.. Or take necesary actions to solve this.. If i pay 5500 i can get bislery water cans for two years.. This worst products either to be banned or to be rectified.. If issue is not resolved then will proceed legally..
If any others facing same issue please reach me @ [protected]@gmail.com

Hi,

I own pureit ultima ro +uv and 3 months back my purifier's water dispensing button is broken out and after that i contacted customer care many times around 6 to 7 times but i hardly got any response. I had escalated to general manager as well still there is no response. I have lost all the hope i had on pureit and hul. After spending 24, 000 for purchasing the purifier, i am still buying water from outside which is very disappointing and irritating.

Pureit or hul team please look into this asap

It's not even been two years since i purchased pureit ultima ex ro+uv. Recently saw a red bar in display and called up customer care to inform about the same. After inspection, initially technician told it's display issue later later he confirmed it's control circuit issue, for replacement it will be charged 5000+ inr.
I came across multiple similar issue reported by other customers. I think pure it is designing products which will fail after few months to make more money out of costly product replacement.
Every year we spend around 10000 for kit replacement. This is ridiculous. One year of product maintenance is more than the product cost. I need pureit to look into this matter and help me.

I own a marvella ro. From last week it stopped working and on registering a complaint, a technician from your local service partner madha agency (Chennai) inspected the machine and he told that the power adapter has stopped working and he asked me to change the machine and get a new one since there is no stock and they didn't receive the adapter for 3 weeks from hindustan unilever itself.

Damn, why should i change the machine just because you don't have stock of the adapter? The cost of the adapter is 1800 inr. Why would i get a new machine by paying extra 10, 500 bucks?

This is horrible customer service by hindustan unilever. I even mailed srinivasan. M (Service head of india) regarding this, no response till now. What's the solution for this?

Complaint no 34548768
Since when i have bought this product product cost 17k) i had issues. Every time technician came asked me for 2k or 3k rupees. Well this is a good business policy, one clap for that. We are here really suffering from the bad product what you have delivered to us (Utterly disjointed with the product and services). Water is a essential thing making money out of this kind of evil thing. Last 2 years i made 9 compliant for which i have paid 19k, product cost is 17k, so after summing up oh my god 36k i have paid for water. And last week your technician said beautiful words — your product gone (See after paying 36k) you need to purchase another another one, wow. Another hindustan unilever another pain ding ding. Some time i thought why jet airway closed then i mate people like you and realized "the things you own will end up owning you"

One request please take your product (So called purifier) from my home.& please don't hire bad engineers (Like you)

Hello - I had purchased PureIT Marvella RO + UV around Feb 2017 (model RCR[protected]. It did run absolutely fine till Jan 2018. However from Feb, GKK1 light started blinking. I did approach customer care, person came and replaced GKK1 and SF too. Since the 10L water purification and filling takes time, the guy left saying that he will call me afterwards that how the filters are working! Later I noticed that filter was not filled completely while was machine was on and rejected water was keep coming. I did feedback this to the person. He came next day, relooked everything and said seems there is some issue in GKK2 as well. I had no choice left but to get it replaced that too. But still there was same problem. Next Saturday I again called customer care and the same person arrived. This time after 2hr inspection he said, , seems there is some issue in control panel. I was furious, I called a senior person home. He too visited following Saturday and did some rectification with control panel. The day purifier was working fine and this continued for next two days. Third day onwards, the same problem started again. Senior engineer visited again and again did something with control panel. After that purifier worked for a week and then again all three filters (GKK1, GKK2 and SF) started blinking. I was too tired and exhausted of complains.. it was almost 2 months that all and entire Saturdays & Sundays I was spending only on this!!! I had literally given up, now after a year that i have gained some energy, I ask you for replacement. After buying such expensive purifier, I had to go through such traumatic experience. I can't tolerate this any more and need urgent replacement.
