We have logged complaint with Hindustan Unilver three months back to get the battery replacement for their Pureit water purifier product. There is no response as of now. We have been calling their tollfree number, customer care number & even their Anna Nagar East Division Branch near K4 police station but in vain. We have been following with their Anna Nagar Manager Mr.Prabhu - Contact Number [protected] for the past one week. He is also not taking any initiative. When we try to reach him someone picking up the mobile & saying he is busy in meetings & asking us to call later. This is happening for the past one week. HENCE PLEASE KEEP AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT.

I WAS ALSO PLANNING TO BUY THIS PURIFIER BUT NOW NOT SURE...
TELL ME WHAT WAS ITS BATTERY LIFE???
Hindustan Unilever is such a big company which makes people to go for this product, but only disappointement for the consumers.
When compared to this, Eureka Fornes gives excellent service to all customers. I hope no one will deny this.
If people are sensible, they should avoid buying this product. The company may be a big one, but the service for the purifier is horrible.
The consumer forum should bring an end to this problem.

I bought Hindustan Uniliver Water Purifier for two weeks ago & made the payment by cheque. My cheque has been cleared with in 2 or 3 days. But i did not get my bill so far. They told me that they will delivered my bill at my home. But i did not get it. I am calling them everyday but i did not get any satisfactory response from their side.

i immediately called customer service people. he came & he also agreed that it was their. i agreed that there are cockroches in my kitchen, but then where will you place your filter then, he argued that u have to keep it away somewhere else. i wonder how a person in a kitchen can use a water from somewhere else?
Next, i complained to the local level sales people and request them to please take away that unsafe product from my house. How can anyone drink a water like that?
there is no response since then from any of the compny people. nobody has turned up till today.
Plz any one can advice me the best Water Purifier for us...
Also, I am planning to buy this purifier because it is the only reasonable product available in market. Hence I would like to know about the service in Pune.
I bought a Pureit Home Water Purifier in about September 2007. Recently the Germ Kill Battery Kit needed replacement and as suggested in the instruction manual we called the helpline number on 3rd June 2008 to order for the Kit replacement. We were told it would be delivered in 3 working days. Yesterday ie 10th June 2008, we called again to check about the status since we had not received any replacement kit, and we were told that our request would be put on “higher priority” and that someone would deliver the kit by end of day.
We haven’t heard from anyone even as of this morning. So I called their helpline no. ([protected] for Bangalore) and the call centre executive very promptly told me that we have the record of your calls but we cannot do anything except put the request in the system. We don’t have any contact with anyone from the company sales or service people. When I asked if she could give a manager’s number she said she doesn’t have one.
I decided to call the HUL head office in Mumbai and spoke to someone who gave a number for their Chennai office[protected] and said that someone would answer the queries there. But as one would expect, no one picked up this number even after repeated calls.
I find this entire thing a mockery of customer service.
Incidentally I checked on the internet for any such complaints and wasn’t really that surprised to see so many people talking about the same problem of battery replacements not being made available. Just FYI there is another complaints board at the following link.
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/hll-pureit-c35769.html
I bought the product on the assurance that it was being sold by a reputed company like Hindustan Lever and was promised that all the spares and service would be easily available. But like many others my experience has been otherwise.
Not only does this indicate that not enough attention has been paid to the after sales service by Hindustan Lever, it also, in a lot of ways, indicates that the company is only worried about the sales of these products and then leaving the hapless customers to fight for themselves.
I guess we will have to resort to the word of mouth publicity and ask our friends and colleagues to stop buying Pureit (although the product itself is good).

for getting battery i had call them many times but the answer was " battery out of stock and will get within 48 hours". 4 weeks has passed but the 48 hours is still to come.
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE AND WE RECOMMEND NOT TO BUY HINDUSTAN UNILEVER PUREIT EVER AS THE PERFORMANCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS " THE WORST "
I am in dilema that which water purifier to buy.Dear friends please suggest me for a model.I was planning for PureIt water purifier from Hindustan unilever.But after seeing lotof complaints, my interest level has come down for this system.Seeking for an advise.
Hindustan Unilever/Pureit, water purifier — service
I asked the local distributer for service the device and ask for change the battery since last three week but there is no action till now.customer care person said with in 3 working days our sales person willl call you, but till now i have not received any call from any body.i even tried to contact their customer care serivice but in vain, some body picks the phone and keeps down.
Really it was worst service and one more important thing is the instrument itself not fitting well and leaking.
I think the company has to take some primitive action otherwise they will loose thier their market.

customer care person said with in 48 hours our sales person willl call you, but till now i have not received any call from any body.thereafter i visited thrice their water safe zone office they also said that they will replace the same with in 48 hours.I am thinking of going to Consumer Forum & Media in Kolkata.4 weeks has passed but the 48 hours is still to come.

Please suggest any other best water purifier at reasonable price.
Me too agree that No battery replacement was given to me.
Service is very poor.
I have complained 3 times, but no action has been taken yet.
BUT BEFORE BUYING THE PRODUCT, THEY CALLED ME 10 OR MORE TIMES..
this is the difference in the behavior to think over.
So think twice before buying the product.
Hindustan Unilever Pureit water purifier — Replacement of the produt
We bought the Product on 15th May, 2008, from Jalaram Agency (Borivali -East), since then we have call several times due to heavy leakage, every time the maintenance guy came and repaired and the Purifier is to work for few days and again same the leakage is to happen. This way we have call them 4 times in 3 months. Last when we raised our voice that we can't afford to come every time and get it repaired, and we would like to get the Product replaced or we would put our complaint against the product, so the Agency guy got some internal parts replaced, which again worked for 2 weeks. This is really sad to mention that we buy the Branded product like Hindustan Unilever and we face such problems. With great regret we have to tell our friends and relatives to go for simple filter than Pureit Water Purifier.acutally its not the product, it is the customer service that they are providing for it.
we can email our respetive problems at hun.[protected]@unilever.com .
i got this on their website. let us send more and more mails so that they can know what is happening.
they unit they gave to us was previuosly owned by some one else. n now they are not replacing it.
U can also mail ur complaint on pureit.[protected]@unilever.com as i have done.
(i) C08703372
(ii) C08707808
(iii) Not recorded
(iv) C08720371
At present the indicator of my water purifier became red and as per instruction manual that was un-usable. My question is that what is the use of purchase of the product if, I do not get the desired service from your end. This goes against the brand name of Hindustan Unilever.
Again you are requested to take immediate steps towards replacement of Battery Kit within early date; otherwise I have no other alternative to go to the Consumer Forum.

I am a share holder of our company & I hold ~ 8060 shares + I also hold another 1000 shares thru another A/C.
Here we are talking of a global recession & means to overcome, but this Company does not seem to have woken up at all.
I have serious complaint to make:
I had asked end week of September 08 on the toll free No if they could deliver a Pure It water purifier to my son who is residing in BITS Goa campus.
I was given the Ph No of Mr. Ashish : [protected], this person asked me to talk to the Area Sales Manager, Mr. Sunil Deshpande.
I called up Mr. Deshpande ( Ph No[protected]) & this person was very courteous; he informed that they are starting there Goa Unit after Dassera i.e. somewhere around 1st week of October 08. & then he will deliver the 1st unit of Pure It to my son in the residential campus of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
This did not materialize so again by 20th Oct I reminded this to Mr. Deshpande that my son has not received the unit & in fact Mr Deshpande should explore this opportunity & try to supply this unit to other students in the campus as there are some 4000 boys & girls residing there.
Till date my son has not received the unit nor a call to me or my son why they could not deliver or there will be some delay in dispatching.
Well what ever your reasons may be & you have become a big conglomerate but please remember that Unilever was brought to this glory just because customers were buying there products.
Now I or my son are not interested in your Aqua purifier - Pure It, but please stop treating the customers as dirt.
At least show some courtesy to inform where the whole issue was stuck which I sincerely doubt it was. There was no willingness in your sales team in the first place to complete the order.
The action that can be done now is remove the Sales Mgr & his assistant so that down the line the message is clear that if the customer is displeased then these are not the people you are looking for.

HUL/Pureit water purifier — Pureit water purifier worst after sales service
Hi,I have a Pureit water purifier and using it from last one year, the battery has worn out and I have registered a request with HUL customer care for its replacement on 17th Dec 2008. Since then I have been calling them on 23rd, 26th, 30th and today too, only to hear, that we are sorry for the inconvenience caused, the complaint has been escalated and some one will be calling today. I am no longer able to use the water flter and forced to drink water without filtering it.
This is worst kind of after sale service I have seen. So I advise that plaease avoid buying HUL products as it has worst after sale service.

If the Company is not in a position to do after sales service, then WHY SELL SUCH PRODUCT TO CHEAT THE PUBLIC. The call centre service is a useless one and also waste of time.
Hindustan Unilever is such a big company which makes people to go for this product, but only disappointement for the consumers. Compare to other company pureit is THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE in the Universe
Please DON'T Buy Pureit water purifier.

Subject: Ignorance of services ordered.
Dear sir,
Most respectfully. I had purchased a Water Filter PURE-IT through Hindustan Pureit, 106, Narayan Plaza, Exhibition Road, Near Hotel Windsor, Opp Lav Kush Tower, Patna(Bihar) 800 001.My Customer ID/Name is [protected]-SURAJ KUMAR.I had ordered for Germi-kill processor on 6th february 2009 (Friday) through Tollfree no:[protected]Patna Office). Call was attended by Miss Anjali but till 16th february 2009 it is not delivered. While I had made call to the above mentioned no each day to remind about the order.In this way they kill my valuable time waiting for delivery of product.
I want to know that is this right way to provide service as promised in leaflet ?.
It is a very serious matter to consider, after all customer satisfaction increases company image and increases referral sale. Opposite of it is also true.
So, Please take necessary and urgent action for Patna office for proper and prompt delivery of product and reply me what action taken by you.
Waiting for an early response.
Thanks and regards.

the battery kits are made available only after a constant chase and boiling the the water as well as my head for seven days. The attitude of customer care is irresponsible and shameful now i have decided to keep the purifier on the road so as to appraise the public the poor quality of after sales services. In view of this i have discarded the idea of purchasing a new one PUREIT for my daughter.If it happens again I will go in for a road show against PUREIT. It is certainly a blot on Company Name
