Eureka Forbes
Reviews and Complaints

I bought EurekaForbes Enhance RO-UV in 2013 December for 16, 800INR. Today the service person visited for AMC payment and to my surprise it is 4600INR for 1 year which is total rip off.
While purchasing sales people never mentioned this high AMC, I was told a nominal amount will be charged. Even for a washing machine the AMC is around 2000INR.
Appreciate if any one can tell on how to tackle these kind of issues.

I bought an Acquaguard water purifier from your Franchisee M/s Acqua Royal Ag., Ashok Nagar, Chennai on 15.6.2014. The payment of Rs.14000 was made through credit card. I was assured that the original bill would be sent within a month. Till date I have not received it. I have been contacting the personnel at your Franchisee, but none of them appear to give the original bill till now. The bill is required for me for reimbursement purpose from my Office. I hope you would direct the Franchisee to forward the bill. After all a Consumer is entitled to get the bill for every purchase. The image of a reputed company like yours is getting tarnished due to lackadaisical attitude in servicing the customers by Franchisee. Till the product was sold out to me, the Franchisee was very quick in delivering the service, but after the product is sold out, the customer is forgotten. Please talk to the Franchisee and arrange to forward the original to me. My contact No.[protected].

I requested a demo for Aquaguard Water purifier on 28th July 2014 through the Aquaguard website. Within 10 min of the request I got a call from their so called Sales specialist Mr. Vishal. He came to our house at 8:00 pm. He tested the water for pressure and TDS and suggested that we go for Aquaguard Enhance UV+ Water purifier.
We paid the amount by cheque after Mr. Vishal's assurance that the purifier will be delivered by the 30th. When the purifier failed to show up even on the 1st August 2014, I called Mr Vishal who at first didn't even remember who I was but on reminding confirmed that the machine would be delivered on the same day. Finally the machine was delivered that evening with a Technician Mr Mahesh supposed to install the same on the 2nd.
When Mr Mahesh came to our house, he said that the water pressure from our pipe was too low and the machine would not work properly. He said that he would still install the machine and to leave it on for some time. According to him the water would start filling in about half an hour. That is when the light would come on in the machine.
When even after one and a half hour when nothing happened, I called up Mr Vishal who as usual didn't remember me initially then said that he would log a service request and that a technician would come on Sunday (3rd August) to fix the same.
Needless to say that the technician did not show up. When even on Tuesday morning (5th August) no one turned up, I called up Mr Vishal who made some stupid excuses and gave me their customer care number. My wife called up the same and their representative said that they would send a representative within 24 hours. When no one turned up even by Wednesday afternoon (6th August), my wife called up the call center again. She had to repeat the entire story again only to get a rude reply from the call center representative that if there is a technician in the area, he would come to our house. When I called up Mr. Vishal about the same he again seemed to have a memory loss about who I was but then said that he had spoken to his boss who said that we now need to install a pump for the machine.
I am totally at a loss as to what should be done next. I feel completely duped. Had Mr. Vishal been upfront about the low water pressure, I would have agreed to the same. Does all the company care about sales?
I would like to warn any potential customers about their behaviour. If you want to buy, pay the money only after full installation.

Hi,
Since when I transferred to Mumbai facing lot of problem with Eureka Forbes service and this time its height making customer feels like they have done some mistake getting transferred to Mumbai.
Pathetic Customer Service and most important Rude Branch Manager.
On, 12th Apr, 2014 I gave a request to customer care for changing my filter as I am in a contract service for 2 years. Service request number [protected]. Contract Receipt: [protected]. Contract period: 27th May, 2103 to 26th May, 2015. A service engineer came (Naveen Kumar) and he said we can’t change the filter and it can be changed only after one year. I asked why and he does not have any reply. After asking lot many times he said call the Branch manager, as I can’t do ant thing. So, I called by SK Enterprises the Brach of Eureka Forbs in Airoli, Navi Mumbai (022-[protected]). I tell you he is such a rude manager and he does not how to speak to the customer. His name is Shrikant Gauda, phone no [protected]. He said this is my policy and we can’t change the filter before 1 year. I said as per the contract it written that I can do the replacement per year and it can be any time as it was not mentioned anywhere in the contract that the changes can’t be done within one year. So, he got adamant and said we work as out policy and not as per Eureka policy and you have to go as per that only. I started shouting and keep asking why this can’t be changed as nowhere in the contract it mentioned. You justify the reason I will accept it but he does not have any answer apart from this is my policy and he disconnected the phone.
Then I called up customer care to launch a complain about his behavior and I spoke to Sampada from the verification department. In first instance the call got disconnected and I was waiting for her to call me back for half an hour but she never called back. So, I called up again and asked for her. She promised and confirmed me that I will get a call from a senior within 15 minutes but I did not got a call till now.
I am shocked to see the service of Eureka is going down now a days and dipping its name in the market because of this kind of useless branch manager and verification department.
Pathetic service and Staff who does not how to talk to customer.
Thanks & Regards,
Priyanko Sinha

I paid and ordered for Aquaguard Water purifier from Eureka Forbes about 3 weeks back. I got it delivered through courier within 2 days, and immediately I registered for installation. They assured installation within 24 hours. But still nobody has come to house for that. I feel like an idiot calling up different numbers and raising this issue without any use. The mistake I had done is, I paid the full amount upfront to the Sales guy, now they don't have any reason to hurry. They are fully behind you with false promises before the payment, and they don't care about you once the payment is done. I stay in HSR layout in Bangalore. I would like to warn any potential customers about their behavior. And If you want to buy, pay the money only after full installation.

I bought AG compact water filter cum purifier directly from their sales office through their sales person 9062367 Mr Rahul Patel.
He bought /Exchanged with old machine and promised to make payment shortly. The Invoice No is [protected] and my customer ID No is [protected]. Inspite of number of reminder money has not been paid.
Regarding service lesser said the batter as till date no service is given, many representative came but they could not open the machine and when asked they said that the screw is not opening and did write in their report sheet. Each one said that another mechanic will come and attend from the company.
I suggest strong legal action need to be taken for fooling the clients and PIL filed. I am willing to be party.

I have register a complaint of my Vacuum cleaner on 28/01/2013, but the Eureka Forbes authorized service technicians not attend and correct the problem till this time, the service technician is an irresponsible person, whos name is Mr Rejith, Service Center located in Mongam, Malappuram District, Kerala State, Indian.

Their performance is very bad.

Hi this is deepak from belgaum karnataka i have to raise
complaint against eureka forbes because i dont expect
such a gesture from a big company like that.
The complaint is that i have bought their water
purifying product named aquasure crystal but let me
tell you first that this product is dealer model and not
the company model and the store person also did not
tell us about this and within a week there was a
problem in their purifier and the water was having
some bad smell which was unable to drink so first i
gave complaint to the dealer and after so much arguing
with their manager, their top bosses the purifier got
replaced with another product of the same name but
the product which got replaced was a faulty one with
the same old problem but this time i requested them to
give the company model purifier instead of that dealer
model because at that time i was feeling like being
cheated by a big company like eureka forbes but they
refused my request and instead they were trying to
repair that faulty product only with lots of
modifications being done and inspite of that the
product was having fault only and i too dont want a
faulty product like this i have not paid money so that i
have a faulty product if they cant give me a new
product they must refund my full amount
immediately .

This is to inform you that I have bought a Eureka Forbes Aquaguard Neo model on 01/05/2011 with a iron remover. After a year when people came for servicing they only informed that the iron remover was fake and used, it has no logo of Eureka forbes on it..
we informed the service center about this fraud done by their service provider whose service code was [protected], but no action was taken and this is also to bring in your notice that the candle of the iron remover was found broken in a corner when it was opened. it was brought to the notice of the customer service center but they didnot pay any heed to it, kindly suggest how can we take this case to consumer forum so that the company have to face the music of playing with the trust and health of the people.

I have a Aquaguard water purifier. It has some leakage problem for which I placed a service request with Eureka forbes long back. Nothing happened. I followed up multiple time. Still nothing happened. Everytime they will commit that it will be attended within 24 hours. Still I am waiting for this to be resolved. It really disappointing to see the pathetic quality of service from Eureka forbes. On the other hand my friend has Kent. And he is really happy with their service. I guess, I should have also gone for Kent instead of Aquaguard !

We did several medium sized projects for this company. They were always slow to pay and tended to pay in partials and we would have to pester them for payment. After a larger project for the University of Texas and some smaller ones for Sheplers in a short time they simply stopped answering our calls and did not pay at all and left us with quite a debt. A year of calling some of their customers and vendors finally elicited a rather heated response from Kari but did get us at least a partial payment... We can't afford legal recourse so it seems they will get away with hurting others...

NON-AD-HEARING/ATTENDING CUSTOMER COMPLAINT
SMT. AMBICA SHARMA, ALLAHABAD
AMC CONTRACT RECEIPT No. 10, ENVOICE-CUM-RECEIPT No. [protected] DATED 21.08.2011
I am registered customer of Eureka Forbes since last 15 years using water purifier model Royal with attachment of water softener. There are two free services under AMC contract but your service provider never attend until inform to service centre. But he comes ever ontime even before to collect the AMC amount. The service engineer (Mr. R.N. Yadav) of my area switches off his mobile for maximum number of time. On complaint direct to Service Centre they suggest to register the complaint to authorized service centre M/s. Anjali Enterprizes, 170 Alopi Bagh Road, Allahabad-211006, Phone NO. [protected], but on calling them the answer is "this phone number does not exists" and ultimately no service can be availed.
The service engineer of my area seems to lack of knowledge, he never complete his job in one attempt, when he rectified one problem another problem has started and after many calls he turned up in long gap of time unnecessarily engaged us and harassment for a small problem like leakage.
Please look into the matter personally and arrange to provide smooth service and improve your company image.

Salesman Mr.Anuj Patel Code No.9049511 of the company promised to buy-back the old vaccum cleaner and sold the new one for Rs.8490/- Collected Cheque in favour of the company and did not call after delivery of the new vaccum cleaner. Neither he left his mobile no. to be able to contact him. The repeated calls to the Pune Office of the company did not go through and no response from the company. In effect the new machine still remains uninstalled. Immediate steps are expected to rederess the grievance and take back the old machine.

The Water filter is not working since 2 months. The purified water is not coming. When we lodged a complaint two months back, the Technician came and seen the water filter. He told that Water Filter candle has to be replaced and presently they are out of stock and informed us as and when they are available with them, he will replace the filter candle. Even though nearly 2 months over, he did not replace the filter candle. Three time I gave complaint. Every time they are assuring us that within 24 hours, their technician will come with a new water filter candle and replace it. But till now it has not been done. We are facing lot of problem.

We have taken service contract with M/s Eureka Forebes Ltd for 3 (three) years w.e.f. 24/10/2007 by paying Rs.1890/- and the Contract Receipt No.AG 96B [protected] .

I hope after seeing the above msg, the Company will send the technician with a new water filter candle and replace the old candle.

Here is an amazing story, we were one of the unfortunate couple who decided to buy an Aquaguard total enhance RO. Receipt no 392 and 006838 Day one 6th April 2012 the demo guy turned up at our house and explained on how the RO works (Which we already knew) when we say demo dont we need to see the actual product and see how it works? Anyways he showed us diagrams all the same we had already decided to buy the product so we gave him the cheque, next day we get a call for installation the technician came over fixed the unit asked us to drain the water once the storage tank it gets full, and told us that we can start using the next refill. I asked him how long for the tank to get full and he replied stating t hat it would take 45 minutes, and he left. Now the amazing story starts. after 45 minutes not a single drop of water in the storage tank, however I see water in the outlet line going, one hour no water two hours no water six hours no water one day no water. Called customer support call on wait for 43 minutes by now "Please stay on the line, your call is important to us" sounds like a hindi movie song as it was playing over and over again disconnected and called at least four times just hear the same thing. Finally got fed up and called the guy who came for the demo. He made a wonderful discovery over the phone that the unit is not working I was amazed by his intelligence, next he goes on to tell me that the unit has to be serviced by a technician. Now we have never used it and we need service? Already? So I told him that I am truly thankful for his assistance and asked him to take his unit back and will put a stop payment on the cheque which thankfully was not cleared. I was surprised when he was totally Ok by it. Still I thought I better call the service center to see if they are a litte bit brighter than the demo guy, so called as early as possible to get some one this time thankfully I was on hold for only 20 minutes and actually got through to some one. He claimed that apart from sending some one to repair it there is nothing he can do, so I asked for the manager, his immediate response was if you want I will give you his number you can call him. He also said that he will place a call back request. After hearing this my next move was to stop payment on the cheque. it is now five days and no calls even after a stop payment. People please be careful with these guys if they have no regard for the product they sell even before payment what do you think will happen after you buy the product. The unit is lying here untouched and no one is bothered to even check why the payment did not go through. It is our hard earned money and if they do not respect or understand that they should not claim that they are the best. We were fools not to listen to our friends who told us never to go close to these people but we learnt this the hard way. I work for a media company, I would really like to see how this story ends before I make this public an article like this in the news paper will surly get the nations attention.
