PureIT / Hindustan Unilever Complaints & Reviews

I'm purchess New Water purifier Hindustan Univer Producr pureit Compact Rs 1000 rupee at 01 Aug 2011 Night and i fill its tank after first time fillter water its water tank overfllow into lower tank.

Dear Sir,

I had asked for germ kit replacment and had called the service centre about 30 times and still they have not given me the battrey replacment till now. I had also asked them to replace the tap as it had broken but the service is pathetic. My Pureit is now a showcase item lying unused for 5 mnts waiting for the service.

If the service of replacement of germkit battery is so tardy I wonder why they have entered it into such a venture . Instead of purifying water they are adding agony to the customer minds.

Kindly help for resolution.

Thanks and regards,

Even befor taking product,U are not able to reach customer's home,If i would have been taken your product then u almost forget to give me your service.
Shame on you guyes...

I have bought Autofill purifier in Feb'11. It worked without any problem upto completion of battery. In end May’11 the Germkill kit has been changed and within 10 days the problem started. The purification has got stopped and water was coming out. I lodged a complaint. Your service personnel came and taught us how clean the charcoal ball. Since then I am facing severe problem with this charcoal ball. Please note that the quality of water is same (tap water from Kolkata Corporation) as what we used in Feb-May’11. Around 15 days back I have again called your service personnel and he had to admit that the charcoal ball is defective. Now the time gap has been reduced and in every 3-4 days the same jamming problem is occurring. I am sick & tired with this device and had it been known to me before I would not have purchased this filter. I am sure that the quality of the original one and this new Germkill kit is different and it is not expected from a reputed company like Hindustan Lever. This defective charcoal ball should be replaced immediately I have lodged complaint in Pureit website and got no response as of date.

Dear HUL Team.

This is to inform you that, I have done a biggese mistake of purchasing Purit Water Purifier Sr No- RPM[protected],.

Summary of Instance:
I
There is no change in the indicator observed from Last 2-3 month in the Putir battery. Last battery was replace almost a year back and we have not observed any change for quite some time. The indicator is still White instead of changing color to Red. Almost 1500 Ltr water is Dispensed by the putifier.

Now, I called Purit helpline on Last Wednesday 13th July (Complaint No-C[protected]and the Purit Executive visited my Place on Friday (after 48 hrs). The Executive came from Tilak Nagar Branch and his name was Kailash Nath. Mr Kailash Confirmed that battery is not working from Last 1 year and Chlorine is deposited in the battery and the unit is not pyrifying the water since very long period.
It was a shock for us as My family was drinking impure water and Your company gives false promises of Pure water to users. What a shame.
Moreover, if Battery failed to work then water shouldnt have been dispensed to the collection chamber. However water kept on dispensing.

Later we requested Mr Kailash to send some intelligent technical person to check the complete unit. He went back and no body visited thereafter till date.

After this incident, I called purit helpline on 14th July and Spoke to Mr Atul - team leader and he registered the complaint (Complaint No C[protected] and assured me that with in 24 workin hour, Senior technician wil visit and check the unit and rectify the problem.
My Wife called on 19, 20th and 21st ans spoken to Mr Kalam/ Mr. Rohit on helpline and evertime except assurene we did not receive any thing.
What a pity.
Till date no body as visited my Place and i have received a message of Complaint Closure of complaint no-C[protected]. On this i have given feedback as dissatisfied.
From 13th July, We have not used Water purifier at all and purchsing mineral water from outside.

If this is the quality of service then i really feel that i have invested my Trust in wrong brand.
I am working with TATa Group where quality is never compromized.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My Registered mobile no. is [protected] and alternate no. is [protected]. My Germ kill Battery Kit life was going to be expired so I booked Germ kill Battery Kit through message on 14 july 2011 on mob. no. [protected], in response to message I received details of service provider of my area. I called to service provider same day on mob. no. [protected] and gave details of my present address and both registered mobile numbers but GKB has not been delivered to me till 16 july and my GKB life expired and became switched off. I again called to service provider on 16 july on [protected] and they given me customer care no. [protected]. I booked my complaints and again given details of my present address and mobile numbers and he assured me for change GKB within 48 hrs but not received. Again on 17 july I booked GKB online and got pureit service ticket number 73623. I received call from pureit Bangalore on 18 july regarding it. Same day I received a message that if I didn’t got GKB then reply via message to [protected] by typing RFS0 so I send message on 18 july evening and again waiting till date and depend on mineral water. If this is the condition then god knows what will happen in near future.
Why was my order for GKB booked for many times and not delivered yet? A company like yours can not shade the responsibility of after sell service.
Kindly look into matter and arrange to solve my problem as soon as possible.

Battery Kit Problem

This is in reference to my complaint with pure it with complaint number C[protected]. I am logging this complaint from 20th June 2011 and from that time they given me three complaint number that is 1. C[protected]. C[protected]. C[protected]. I am continuously following up with the customer care help line number but nothing has been done till date.

I ordered germ battery kit through Online with reference number 65840; on 10th May 2011 amount of Rs. 550. On 11th May around 10:30 I received a call from Pureit customer care and they told me that today a person from our side will come to your home to change the battery. I received call from their Noida authorized dealer and they told me that our person is coming to change the battery in the evening. Person came at 4:00 PM. He replaced all thing and taken old battery kit with him (when I asked he told me that he has to show this to office). I asked for the bill and he given me 1 pure it slip in which he has written his name and amount of kit. He did not give me proper bill.

Next day I received call from Mr. Arjun Singh from Noida dealer as the confirmation call, then I asked him about the bill and about that boy who came to our home. He assured me that he was the right guy (name Suraj, contact number [protected]) and he told me don’t worry your kit is original and you will not face any problem.

But within 15 days our battery starting becoming red and within 1 month is totally gone. I called up to Noida vendor but not found proper response from them and from 20th I started calling on customer care numbers.

During my complaint I received call from Mr. Arjun Singh (Noida dealer) and he told me that he will not replace any battery and I will have to pay full amount of new battery. He also told me that “you can do the complaints daily or as much you want but in any cost I will not replace your battery.

I want to know if I have received duplicate product how they reached me. How they got my contact details and order from the website.

You are requested to please look in to the matter and replace my batter kit as soon as possible.

Hoping for your positive and early response.

Thanks & Regards,
Anita

I, Gopichand Joshi, purchased a “Pureit” on 20/11/2010 from M/s Priyanka Electronics & Furniture, Talegaon Dabhade, Dist. Pune. As it is an Hindustan Unilever product, I need not thought over for quality. Appliance worked good for a week. But then I found a defect that water filtration process was very slow & inconsistent. Sometimes water was not coming down at all. I told the dealer regarding the same. But there was no response from his side. After waiting for some days I carried the pureit to the dealer’s shop for attending the defect. He told me to keep it at his shop & assured to get it attended, whenever technician will visit his shop. After a long period, he told us the problem is attended. So I brought it back, but the problem was not solved & found that one more defect has been developed - I found leakage from bottom of Cleansing –collection chamber. It is not possible for us to carry the equipment to the dealer every now and then as we are staying in a village- KAMSHET near Talegaon Dabhade. Also service response is very unsatisfactory, rather there is no service at all. So I kept the “pureit” aside & brought our old water filter!
Shall I expect any positive response from the company?

As per the commitment of customer care representative, somebody came in my house for changed the battery on 4th July 2011 upto 8 pm, but nobody came for the same.

It is the worst product in its category in the market with the poorest service I have ever experienced.
I have had to register complaints for it every day; It takes 18 days for anyone to attend the complaint
Pathetic when it has not worked then how is the life up?? What happened to all promises given when you buy the product. Someone needs to give replacement.

Dear Sir

This is to inform you that I purchased Pure It water purifier- model number-RP[protected], CBU code- WP5G1 from Biratnagar, Nepal. It's just one month that I bought it and I have already changed the entire filter unit. I have been facing water leakage problem since the time I bought it. The shop I bought it from is not taking liability for it. In fact everytime we calll him that the guy from the company is going to come and check it, but no one has ever come. Kindly look into the matter asap.

Immediate Replacement of Pureit Water Filter purchased on 10/02/2011
Customer Id [protected]
The device has been malfunctioning since day 1. I had to lodge a complaint on day 4 of my purchase and from then on a visit by your service executive has been a regular affair (the complete list is given below).

On their each visit they do something which rectifies the problem, but for a short duration. Then again there is a problem, I lodge a complaint and but the device has never functioned smoothly for a sustainable amount of time. We are only two members in the family and so it is never overused. The device is operated only by me and is at the same place as when it was installed. Then what is the problem

All this only surmises to one thing the device itself is defective or faulty and needs immediate replacement.


Please see the list below,

10/02/[protected][protected] Purchase of Pureit with full payment- customer id [protected]
15/02/[protected][protected] Technician attended to rectify some part
14/05/[protected][protected] Complaint lodged, no. C[protected]
15/05 - 18/[protected]------ No response
18/05/[protected][protected] Complaint reminder
19/05/[protected][protected] Visit by Serviceman- nothing repaired
21/05/[protected][protected] Battery replaced
09/06/[protected][protected] Complaint lodged
10/06/[protected][protected] Serviceman attended
24/06/[protected][protected] Complaint lodged
25/06 - 28/[protected]------ No response

In the process I have also spent money in such a short time of its purchase which is beyond my expectation of buying a product of a renowned brand.

I am a senior citizen retired from service and the anxiety caused by this product of yours is really affecting my health and peace of mind. In fact I am so upset with your product and service that I am considering to discourage many others in my area who are planning to buy Pureit. After all I cannot let them also suffer the same way as I am.

Hoping that my words will not fall on deaf ears and witnessing a service of high quality in keeping with the high brand.

Thanks,
