Osim Australia review: OSIM Ucozy

I purchased the Ucozy back massage device back in December last year, after being impressed by a demonstration at one of their conventions in Sydney. The initial product I bought seemed promising, so much so that I ended up buying another one just six months later. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a nightmarish ordeal.

The second Ucozy product I purchased turned out to be a dud right out of the box. The heat feature malfunctioned, and the device inexplicably shut off after a mere five minutes of use. Initially, I thought it might be due to the power supply in our old house, so I brushed it off and refrained from pursuing warranty repairs.

As time passed, my frustration grew, especially when the malfunction persisted despite my attempts to use the device both at home and in my car. Finally, I gave in and contacted OSIM's customer service. Their solution was for me to send the defective product in for repairs. After the hassle of driving to the Burwood store and back, I received the device, only to find that the issues remained unchanged.

The frustrating process repeated itself when the first product I bought in December started falling apart too. One of the massage components came loose from its socket, highlighting the abysmal quality of these products. My attempt to resolve the situation by reaching out to OSIM's customer service was met with the same lackluster response. I was instructed to visit their store in Chatswood – a 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from my location – since the Burwood branch had conveniently closed down.

Expecting a replacement for the second device, given the repeated repairs, I was instead told they had simply fixed it. Another two weeks of waiting, and I was informed that both devices were ready for pickup. There was no mention of a refund or replacement, leaving me with the unsatisfactory option of collecting the repaired products.

I am penning this review out of sheer frustration with OSIM's terrible customer service and their subpar product quality. It's bewildering how they managed to mishandle every step of my experience – from the faulty devices to the ineffective repairs and complete disregard for customer satisfaction. As much as I believe I am owed a refund or replacement, the idea of engaging in further arguments with them is exhausting. I'm resigned to my losses, but I implore anyone reading this to think twice before considering an OSIM purchase. Save yourself the headache and choose a more reliable option.
