This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I am owning a Eureka forbes Aqua guard Model name Revira, Which is RO Purifier, and they say it will convert the hard water into a drinkable water, but the problem is the filters are getting choked once in 3 months & whenever i give a complaint i need to make a lot of followup with each person including the service man. This time i have given a complaint on 23-Apr-07 & the complaint no is 7685. Till today that is 15-May-07 nobody has turned up. Very bad customer service.

I called contact center again (forgot the number of times I have called). Another rep Soumya spoke and said she is transferring to escalation department. After 10 minutes of hold time I was told that they are busy and will call you. Am still waiting

Agree. Really poor service. Its been seven days and after multiple calls, there is no action. We were sent SMS with the number of person who will come for servicing. That person kept saying that he is coming. Now he is not even picking up his phone. When we call the contact center, after listening to complain, they drop the call. Bhargavi is name of contact center person who dropped the call just now.

They focus only on selling the product. No proper service. Never buy because it is more of a waste of time and effort following up for service than the money spent on buying the product

I bought a Vacuum cleaner Eurekaforbes' Euroclean MITEY VAC EC 300. I had been assured LIFE TIME SERVICE (PAID) and availability of spare parts too. The Motor burnt...it was replaced with heavy charges. Spare bags are frequently not available. The Main Hose pipe has since been damaged. And for the last four years I am trying to get the spare Hose. But in vain. The After Sale Service is the worst. Better to opt for some other company's product.

I had to shift my residence and put a request for dismantling and re-installation of the Aqua guard. I was promptly given 2 complaint numbers PRI 27/1 and PRI 27/2. No body ever turned up for the dismantling of the unit. We had to request the packers and movers to do it for us and had to pay extra for this. Nobody turned up for re-installation either. I again had to call the call center and remind them about it . After a week I got a call from a person by name Soloman and he said he would come for fixing it up. This guy turned up at 8:30 PM in the night and said he wanted a plumber to help him fix it up. How can you expect a plumber to be available at 8:30 PM in the night. This guy was very rude, He did not even apologize for coming in so late, rather blaming us for not helping him with a plumber and said it is not his job. If we could do this ourselves why do you have a customer care service with so many branches all round the country and showcasing yourselves in ads. its been 10 days since then and nobody turns up. I have called the customer care about 10 times .With no respite.

I am getting mineral water for the past 3 weeks now. Who will compensate for this and all the hassles we are going thro. I have decided to go to consumer cell now. I have called the customer care and also warned that if nobody turns up I would be going to the consumer cell.

My Aqua Guard stopped working and I had to call Eureka Forbes for getting it repaired (since we had bought it from them). They insisted us on signing the annual service contract which we did not do (since we had heard about their poor service and hence this money would go down the drain). After it was repaired, it started giving the same problem within 2 weeks. And now even after calling 4 days regularly, twice a dar persistently, nobody has come to repair it. Their Call Centre employees only know to speak one sentence - We have forwarded your complaint. The reason they are not attending to our complaint is because we did not sign up for their annual contract. But this is ridiculous since we pay them each time for their horrible service.

Can anybody advise on what legal action can we take against them?

These people have no shame. They have sold me 2 water purifiers machines. Their sales team was very very active, not not picking up the phone. It is no use buying from them as they don't come to change candles or fix a broken part. How is it worth investing in water purification systems if you have to drink water from a machine with old candles?

The reviva m/c has been leaking since installation but the company has not been responding inspite of numerous complaints. At time of installation the technician Raju tiwari promised to come to rectify the problem and also do a tds check but never came and on reminder was rude.

The company takes the entire payment on dlv and later on has no interest in customer service, very poor show am extremely unhappy.

We have Eureka Forbes Water filter. We have opted for 2 years service from them. The service needs to be done every Quarter. But it is almost 1 year now. No one has turned up to do the service. We have called them many times. But still no response. Chennai Service is really pathetic. Not al all happy with Chennai Service when compared to Bangalore.

The Company person has done wrong installation of Water Purifier due to which we are facing tap leakage and also my water tap has got dislocated. Also the person who is responsible for the same has not turned yet after calling him for several times.

It's indeed a disappointing approach from such a graded company.

I had lodged a complaint with Forbes Aquaguard on 26th june as my water purifier wasn't working. I was told the complain has been registered and a person shall visit and repair it in a day or 2. Its been 22 days no one has bother to come over and repair inspite of repeated reminders. In case some1 falls ill due to drinking impure water I will sue Forbes for their carelessness and horrible after sales service and ignorance.

Eureka Forbes has been seen to be providing increasingly abysmal customer service. The company is also completely apathetic towards customer experience. Too many customers have suffered and it is time the company righted itself. We are initiating action to make this company aware of its responsibilities.

The Relationship Managers goes door to door, booked their products (selected by the customers) and charge 250/- for each product and then never revert back on your calls neither return back your money.

So please Be Careful and stay away from this company.

I totally agree, by experience, with the other customers that Eureka Forbes is a cheating company. I have entered into a 3 year service contract for the Acquauard Classic Water Purifier with their Kottayam Office on 19.5.2012 (No. [protected]) but they have serviced it only once in 2013. My numerous class to the given numbers since May 14 were not answered, I called the Service Manager Mr. Vaibu who promised several times that the carbon block which is overdue will be replaced but nothing happened. Ultimately I have sent a letter by speed post on Sept. 9th which was returned by the postal authorities for reason "addressee left". Tell me what is the next step a customer has to follow after the 3 year service amount was paid in advance. Is this is the policy of the company collecting money in advance and vanish or employ people of barbarian attitude who always give vague reply. I am now left with the alternative to go to the Consumer Forum for put an end to this sort of cheating. It is the time for all such customers cheated by the company to agitate in front of their sales / service centres to notify the relevant authorities of this kind cheating and create an awareness among the public to avoid purchasing Eureka Forbes products.

I bought Eureka Forbes Aqua Guard in Bangalore from a representative based in Koramangla. I was provided with a temporary receipt. First there was a delay in providing me details to validate the warranty card. For almost two month now they have not yet provided me with the original receipt and invoice. Each time I called "Mar. Raghavendra - Sales representative" he told me to wait for a day or two to get the receipt. At one point he claimed that there was an error on part of the company to send the receipt but he has personally send it by courier. That was almost 3 weeks ago. I get regular post and courier from other sources but amazingly as per Eureka Forbes their courier is making a disappearing act...not that they ever provided me with courier tracking details... Honestly it is SICK dealing with such nuisance.
