Eureka Forbes Very bad after sales service

The after sales service for servicing the product even in AMC is ###ed up. I am sorry to use such words but its utterly frustruating to call up the service center "N" number of times to call the service personal. Even after getting promises that he will come in 2 days they do not turn up even after 10 reminders. This is not an isolated complaint.

We have our AMC (COntract number : AG 96B [protected]) and have also logged a request number for this - L104465. This was done on 6th Oct 07, but the person is yet to turn up.

We got this Aqua guard in 2004 from Andheri, Mahakali Caves Road, Mumbai. Our service center is Scon, and later we were redirected to Reena Enterprises in Andheri east.

Both of these are equally bad and even after following up for ore than a month no one has turned up.

I feel like throwing this product in a dust bin and bombing this ### company who just takes payment for AMC and then not turing up for service.

I am not sure even if this complaint will help or not.

Hoping for some improvement.

I have a Nova aqua guard bought about 7/8 years back when the Nova model was launched. It is under AMC since then. It has a membrane switch which has an inherent defect of failure often. We observed immediately after our purchase that the company has launched a new model with different switch. Our complaint for failure is only for the switch and the service agent also know this. Their response is very poor. They will never come the day they promise to come. They will come after 2/3 days. They will make some patch repair and promise to change the switch as soon as it is available with them which definitely means at least a year. I do not know how to come out of this problem. Probably I should change my aqua guard and by a new one but definitely NOT AN AQUA GUARD FROM EUREKA FORBES AGAIN.

I request all the viewers of this site not to buy aqua guard water purifier. I bought one on june 2006. From then onwards i am repenting very badly for buying the product. The company has no proper dealers for it. It frequently changes the dealer ship from one agency to the other. I am really vexed up calling the people for service. I am ready to pay how much ever money they ask but no body is responding. Please dont buy this product.

totally agree with you. the after sales is pathetic. even the customer care / support is bad.

After registering a complaint with them there's ne response from the service center. The Customer Support Exec. assures that the complaint will be attended within 2 working days. but after 4 days there's no response. repeateed calls to the customer care center results in nothing but false assurances.

The technician attends the call after 10 days and that is not able to resolve the issue completely. He was supposed to return next day with some spares, but hasn't turned up since now. The Customer Care informs that the complaint is attended. which is more shocking.

Eureka Forbes Power cord automatically pulled in without the cord winder button pressed

I purchased a eureka forbes vacuum cleaner trendy steel 0n 23/09/2007 in chennai. I was assured that free demo will be done after the purchase for that I had to spend so much telephone calls and finally they came to my house for demo.

Later when I was using i found that the power cord was automatically pulling inside without pressing the auto cord winder switch. I registered a complaint on 02/10/07 in eureka help line and after inspite of several calls to different persons now I am fed up because every time i get that already serviced, no stock of cord winder, or door locked.

Till now no action has been taken to rectify this fault and they are not bothered about this I am of opinion never ever buy any products from eureka forbes.

Eureka Forbes Violation of AMC!

Inspite of having an AMC, complaint regarding our non functional water purifier (I nova) has not been attended through out the day. In the morning of Saturday (5.10.07) the complaint was lodged. In the night we were told that nothing could be done before Monday i.e. after 2 whole days.The 24 hours telephone number was of no use. Further a fake complaint number of 121 with the promise to address the problem soon was given. Thereafter several telephone calls were wasted just trying to convince that a complaint had indeed been lodged. Also, the employees attending the phone were very rude and unsympathetic.

WE have started AMC of our water purifier in Nov 2006 and till date we didn't get the rep fron service provider. Every time we will have to remind them for changing the carbon and other things. They never turn up without repeted reminders.

What are the clauses for getting the AMC executed and what can we get out of the money we have paid in advance.

Please resolve the matter as we are fed up with the non service AMC.

I have purchased RO water purifier from Eureka Forbes 8 month back. The company representative has told many false things to us, like life time warranty, cash discount, water checking with meter at the time of installation to check the water quality etc. But none of the above has happened. In spite of calling him many times no response and we have written to company, they have given us complaint number and told that they will update with us. Nothing has happened. No reply from company.

Maybe company told there representative to sell the product with lots of false promises, if not then why no action has taken after complaining.

I have decided not to take any of the Eureka Forbes product in future and also told my friends and relatives for the same.

In spite of having an AMC, complaint regarding our non functional water purifier ( named-nova ) has not been attended through out the day. In the morning of Friday day (12.10.07) the complaint was lodged by phone to M/s MAP Entps., D.Dun. In between the technical man has come to my home three times but he told that the concern part is not available in MAP Entps. Yesterday he takeaway the machine with him.After that nothing could be done before today i.e. after 12 whole days. We are drinking pure water since 12 days. Who is responsible for that.

Eureka Forbes Do not buy Aquaguard!

I am suffering after relying on Eureka Forbes's so called "quality services"! Please do not buy Aquaguard, as they have worst services. Installation of machine took 20 odd days and now for first service, I am waiting for 45days. Its horrible and beyond all imaginations, how these people sleep on complaints.

Taking a Ureka Forbes Aqua Guard is a Life time Mistake.
If u use the product for 100 years the cost of product will be 109000/-.
Very poor after sales service.
After AMC and apyment they simply forget.

I am cheated and made a object of joke by the customer care of Eureka Forbes, Bangalore. I put a request of reinstallation at Sunday (30.09.2007) reference no - [protected]. The person told me that I would be serviced within 24 hours and now 5 days are over I am yet to serviced. Every time when I contact them I am told that I would be service immediately but without any impact. I am terribly mistaken by going for Eureka Forbes.

Eureka Forbes Installation and leaking problems

I have purchased the I-Nova water purifier from Eureka Forbes company. The concern persons was Rajan panda from Thane office.

First, I had the installation problems with Eureka Forbes team. The machine was lying at my home in packed condition for almost more than a week's time and after lot of pursuation, they deputed and installed the machine. Within few days, the inlet pipe to the machine started leaking and immediate telephonic complaint was given to Mr. Panda. Till date no actions have been taken from their end. Don't buy anything from Eureka Forbes.

Eureka Forbes Poor customer service and no commitment

I bought a Aqua Guard in the month July on Installment Basis under which I gave 1st cheque of Rs 1900.00 and other of Rs 990.00 dated : 2nd of every Month. In August they put u put my 1st ch. but due to some reason that cheque was bounched because my salary didn't get credit due to some reasons. So I called in ur company on 2nd Aug. so that they can send an executive at my place and collect the Amount in cash including the fine for ch. bounce. I made all the payment and that executive told me that u will get ur cheque within 3 days n he gave it in written also . I wait for whole month but i didnt get my cheque back moreover next month they again put it in my bank n i again debited for cheque bounce.

So if i already made the payment in cash why it's again putted in my account n when i call up at your office that person told me that due to account Department's mistake it happened n we are sending your cheque back to u within two days n again same story i called him so many times n still i m in dark that when will i get my cheque back n why should i bear due to ur account Dept. mistake.. I m again debited for Rs 390.00 from my bank. 1st time i bear that fine bcoz it was my mistake but this time i will not leave it as.

Eureka Forbes Poor after sales service and defective equipment

I bought a new Eureka Aquaguard water purifier with hard/soft water converter paying 15K. But just after 5 months of purchasing, it had several problems and I had to incessantly follow-up with the service people to get it rectified.

Now that there is a recent problem where water is NOT at all getting purified, I am asking for a replacement of Equipment but they are NOT agreeing for it. For every problem they are quoting it as simple problem and do some minor resolution.But next time there is a new problem. With a kid at home, I am seriously worried about the health hazards with water from Eureka as we use this for all drinking/cooking purpose.

Can you pl suggest as to how to get the equipment replaced or get my money back so that I can buy some other product who are more reliable and worthy.

I hope that atleast ONE RESPONSIBLE PERSON FROM EUREKA IS LOOKING INTO THIS AND WILL ACT! (high hopes though)

Sir,
On 21st. June, 2011, I get installed one Aquaguard ( e-bioiling+) water purifier from Eureka Forbes and my Customer ID : [protected].
During the the time of time of deal, the Marketing Person of the Company committed to provide me few extra articles vize: Cover, One Extension flexible delivery tube & One Candle. But after geting the full payment over installtion, the concerned instalation group simply installed the equipment. On enquiring, the Sales man had hardly any time to spare to listen to any of my reminders. How ever I stoped reminding him for such committed item for delivery.
But on 20.08.2011, I lodged a complaint of Water Leakage from the Prefiltered Bowl of the Equipment over phone to the Sales Group Leader Mr. Bishnu Pradhan(the same Sales man) & he informed me to send some one in morning of 21.08.11. As no one turned up till 12 noom, I again reminded him over phone & this time he replied that he himself is on the way to attend the complaint. But till this comlaint is lodged no one attended to stop this leaking problem for which the whole surrounding of installation place is flooded. I am really feeling hurt for such types of Hopeless & irresponsible attitude by these sales persons for any after sales services.

I had lodged a complaint for attending a fault for Water Filter on 14/11/2007, complaint no L122997. In spite of having an AMC and following up repeatedly, I was told that they are going to attend to the problem. Till date they have not attended to the problem. This is the worst form of service that you can ever get. Eureka Forbes is extremely poor in customer service and customers are fooled and duped into buying their products.

Eureka Forbes Poor service!

I bought Eureka Forbes Aqua Gaurd Water purifier RO last year in sept. end then onwards i realized my big mistake . These sales people make big promises of services and schemes but when the time comes for service i have to make calls and i have to remember the next due date of service and don't even get positive response like when that service person will come. I was not very clear about that insurance scheme which that sales person was saying as i had an emergency at that time to install that purifier but now i have called them several times to get to know about that scheme they are avoiding it. Now I don't know what exactly was it all about ? .. as far as i know this RO machine needs proper service at their service center and now what to do i am in dark.

These people should take at least some responsibility of the products they sell or their should be some prompt customer care service rather than do such cheating in just to bluff customers and run off by selling. I wonder how such reputed company is running by cheating their customers.

Eureka Forbes Serviceman absconding after taking money

I purchased a water purifier machine from Eureka Forbes, Aquagaurd Reviva RO, in the first quarter of 2006 in Varanasi city. The sales personal Mr. Pradeep Rai came to my home to sale the product and installed it. During one year of warrantee period he came several times to check the performance of machine. So we were quite satisfied with the service. But on July 6, 2007 after almost one year he came and suggested me to make a service contract for one year in RS.1600/- which covers free service and damages if any. So I agreed and gave him the said amount. He worked on machines and said that he had no fresh candles to change so he would come on July 8th to replace the parts. When I asked for receipt of the fee which I gave him, he said he is not carrying the receipt book so he would give me on 8th July. Since he came to me several time I had no reason to disbelieve him. But since that day he did not turn up, neither any body came from his office. On inquiring I was told that he has left the Job a month before and has joined some new concern in Meerut. When I managed to reach him on phone he outright said that I can claim this money from the Eureka Forbes since his Provident Funds etc are still lying in Varanasi Branch.

It’s really shocking that sales men and service people of such a reputed company are so shameless and playing fraudulent. I have informed the office, instead of sending somebody to repair my machine and solve the case I am asked to visit their office nearly 10 Km far from my house. This is to draw the attention of the concerned executives of Eureka Forbes to stop such fraudulent their employees playing with prospective customers and bring relief to me.

I have purchased Eureka Forbest Water Purifier from Vijay Sales Pune on 2nd of October 2008. Model DESIGNA (GL30OCTABC) Chasis No. DESIGNA 3123, for Rs. 5990/-.

I brought the purifier at home but Till 10th of NOvember 2008, no one came for installation. Therefore i called another person and from whom i got the purifier installed by making expnases form my own pocket, though the company offers installation free.

But now i am worried about the service part of it as the filter is rquired to be replaced frequently. Who will help me? I tried calling Vijay SAles but they are more interested in selling the product, and does not bother about the after sales part.

Kindly guide me.

I purchased a water purifier machine from Eureka Forbes, Aquagaurd Reviva RO, from Chennai and after initial warranty - I had gone for AMC for the contract. In the last year, Only one or two times only the technician came and later I had come to know that the person has leftthe service. Now again I had to go for another AMC contrct as the same has expired.

We had made a request through Chennai Euroline on 12.11.2008 to send a technician to attend the problems related to the water purifier, we were informed that the same will be attended to - But so far, even after 72 hrs nobody turned up. Several reminder calls were made. Each time - false promises are being made that the technician will come in another 3-4 hours like that. But nobody turns up.
The supervisors are also not available.
We do not know the reasons for making false promises; One of the following reaons could be the factor:

1) There is a manpower shortage
2) Your orders are overbooked
3) Customers interest not to to given priority.

This is being brought up to your notice for remedial measure.
Will also make a call from Chennai to Mumb ai to officially lodge a complaint.

Eureka Forbes Is this the way Eureka Forbes works!

I am an aggrieved owner of an Aqua Guard water purifier. I am shocked to see the level of service being offered by Eureka Forbes, for reasons briefed below -

1. None of the nos mentioned on the web site (Service Franchisee Phone Nos) are ever working

2. Finally, I get through to one of your service agents, with whom i also did my last AMC (expired in June 2007) M/s Radiant Enterprises, Wanorie, Pune (Phone No.020-[protected])

3. We have been requesting the Agency to depute their Engineer for servicing our water purifier and renewal of the AMC since over a month.

4. However, to our utter disgust, no one has paid heed to our calls.

Is this the way Eureka Forbes works?

It wasn't just for the product, but also an assured level of Service for which i bought an EF Water Purifier after spending more than what i would have had to spend on any other purifiers. AND I feel sad to see such bad services being offered.

Dear sir, I have installed the Aqua guard inova model water purifier last year. The filter has been changed. The problem i face is that water oozes out of the OUTLET even in the switch off mode. The service engineer claims that it is due to the water pressure. This reason is not acceptable. kindly rectify the complaint keeping in mind the customer satisfaction.

Yes, they are claiming that they are the best water purifier seller and service provider in India. But they are claiming for themselves only. I believe now a days their quality also decreases to a great extent. Their service is the worst one. You may buy a purifier but you will get no one after their selling ends.

Eureka Forbes Poor product and support

In August '06 I bought an Aquaguard Reviva system, after Eureka Forbes convinced me that the ground water can be used for drinking as the RO unit would remove all the salts from the incoming water. After using the unit week, all of our family members experienced severe stomach ache after consuming the "purified" water from the Reviva system. So, we stopped using it until we bought an overhead tank to store draining water supplied by the corporation.

The overhead tank was then connected to the Reviva system, and it functioned pretty well in the beginning (except that it flushed out 3/4th water as waste this time, even though were were using drinking water supplied by corporation.). NOW, within 3 months of regular usage, the unit stalls abruptly and we hear constant ticking sound from the motor or probably from other mechanical parts inside. Not even a single drop of water is processed at this time, but it flushes water continuously. Automatic shutoff is also not working. After 20 calls to the Eureka Forbes customer support center (044-[protected]), one of the reps came in and changed a spare part (they called it as "SV") and they told me that it will take 3 days for the change to take effect (I wonder why?). Well, even after 3 weeks now, the problem is not yet resolved. Rarely when it functions, it wastes 90% of the water (as oppsed to the standard 60% wastage by any unit utilizing the Reverse Osmosis technology.)

Their customer support personnel keep assigning different complaint numbers (59366, 67328 etc and so forth) to me whenever I call them, but none of the reps turn up to my house. And they don't acknowledge the complaint I registered with them the last time I called them. (Wondering if their helpdesk software is defective too?)

I've been cheated in all ways, after paying a hefty sum of Rs. 12,500 for the product. They've not even changed the "membrane" yet, which they promised during the time I purchased the unit. The product will be out of Warranty next month, and guess how their support would be for out of Warranty products.

There seems to be no contact number to reach their top Ops, no separate complaint cell, no Fax numbers, no E-Mail and nothing. This is completely NON-PROFESSIONAL! Mind you, I'll never buy a product from these cheaters, and will recommend against buying Eureka Forbes' products, to my friends, neighbors, family and the housing boards and other associations nearby whom I know. We're now buying bottled water (Kinley 25 ltrs) just because the Reviva unit is non-functional.

Even more pathetic issue is that I've not received the invoice for purchasing the Reviva unit (and a Euroclean WD unit bought a month earlier) even after SEVERAL reminders. Come on Eureka Forbes! ...You got to issue the invoice, at least.

Eureka Forbes has the WORST OF THE WORST service I've even seen, at least in my locality. Their customer support need to grow up. I'm seriously thinking about taking a legal advice on this matter.

The service is pathetic. The sales person and his supervisor when they visit for a demo, they say one thing and and do the another. I have purchased the euroclean cacuum cleaner on 28.10.08. Shri Rajeshwar, the sales person didnot mention that there are many parts / accessories missing. When i confronted and enquired he assured me to deliver the same next day. In this regard i have contacted his superior and others in the office in new delhi over the phone. Every body assured me to provide the missing parts but till date i have not received the same..i think i have made a bad choice by choosing the eureka forbes ltd product

I agree. Eureka Forbes is really bad i its service. Forget about service of the product. they are not at all good at giving you the invoice also. I have waited for more than 45 days to receive the Invoice and still I have not received it. I called them couple of times. Not response. I am thinking to approach Consumer Forum. I did not understand why they should take this much time to give the Invoice. There is nothing much they have to do with Invoice. Simply to take a print out for this kind of work and to give the invoice if they are going to take this kind of time which is really really bad. At the end of the day if you dont have proper service, no matter how good the product is.

Dear Team EFL,

Really it is shocking information for me because i worked with EFL for 10 years and i know the values and at hicks of EFL and really I love and respect of EFL because EFL is one of the biggest training institute for their sales and support team but it is really happening manlier places and level of customer dissatisfaction is going extremely up.Reasons are only service tech. and CRR's of locations who's are not giving proper time and attention to Respected customers.

I agree to you. The company's attitude is very rude and they have a regiment of cheat servicemen and salesmen. Initially they promise to provide good service but after selling their product they ignore the customers and befool them.

Eureka Forbes This is disgusting!

I bought a vacuum cleaner from Eureka forbes 4 months back (in the month of Feb 2007). Till now i have not received a demo of that alliance. I have contacted their sales person several times - even visited their local office twice - only to get a false assurance.

This is disgusting!

Hi Sridhar,

U can complaint to Mr.SRM Reddy, srmreddy@eurekaforbes.co.in he is the regional manager but only one thing he also reply when he is only having some profit from the said transacion.
Better try it and get every document related to your sale.

Because frauds are going in that at higher positions your name can be deleted in the process then u cannot get any more service.

TAKE CARE

We recently installed the Aquaguard RO Water Purifier worth Rs 14, 500/- from your Dwarka Office. Ever since the system has been installed, there has been problems like leakage, excess loss of water, etc. It is really disgusting that we have been lodging complaints in the Dwarka Office and repeatedly calling the representatives but with no action being taken to rectify this problem or change the system.

I still remember the first day when we wanted to see the products, the representstive reached before the promised time and took no time to install the system. Unfortunately, their after sale service is not as good and promt. Infact its unacceptable.

I would like to request you to please take action on this. Sorry to say but we have lost faith in Eureka Forbes and their services.

Eureka Forbes Bad service of the Aquaguard

The Aquagurad installed at my residence is have the problem of the water flow. The water flow from the machine is very poor and it takes long time for the required vessel to fill.

I've called the customer care and asked them to send i some tech. But there too the response is very poor. The person in charge does not turn up for days. And for the second time the customer care cell is also not available for any reminders.

Eureka Forbes Wrong selling methods

Never call or accept for a demo with Eureka Forbes people or at least don't accept to retain the demo product in your house for any reason from this so called no.1 direct marketing people.

We live in chennai and we wanted to buy a vacuum cleaner and when we were offered for a demo by EUREKA FORBES sales people we accepted the demo. They came for showing a demo of their latest Vacuum cleaner. After the demo is over the sales person started writing a delivery memo for us and they are forcing almost that we should buy as the pack has been opened, bla bla, and left the machine at our house, even after my wife's strong refusal. He finally said that let the machine stay there and he will pick up next day. But he never turned next day. When we contacted him next day, he was reiterating that we should pay for the same.

When we contacted the representative's manager, he also insisted that they showed the demo with new machine and cannot be packed again and this should be taken by us.

For all, we never signed a single paper with them. This atrocious way of trying to sell a product. Rather this is a very wrong way of misusing the demo chance and they are almost blackmailing the housewives for selling the machines. My wife felt so guilty for asking for a demo with them and spent a sleepless night.

This has to be taken seriously by their management and these kinds of attitudes by their sales people should be stopped immediately as this is not a healthy trend.

Eureka Forbes Customer cheating

I was cheated by Eureka Forbes. One person named "Harinath. V", a customer specialist from Eureka Forbes came to my house and demonstrated the Aqua guard water system. I decided to purchase it and payed the amount by credit card. He told they will be delivering the Aqua Guard machine by next day (12th june 2007). But nobody came. I had called several times. They picked up twice and gave vague answers, but nobody came to house with the machine. I had payed nearly 8.5 thousand. Now they are not picking up the phone at all.

It was my mistake that i paid before getting the product. They have cheated me anyway. But i have the credit card receipt that i payed and the agent's visiting card. I have lodged a complaint in blore police (online) also. Hope they will do the needful.

I will lodging an FIR also on the same.

I not bothered about the money, i want those guys behind the bar for these.

The Eureka Forbes office address is:
Eureka Forbes Limited
No 15, 17th A Main Road, 5th block, Koramangala, B'lore - 560095. Phone-[protected].

Eureka Forbes Violence of Annual Maintenance Contract

I have transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore in April. I have an Eureka Forbes water Purifier, for which we have purchases the Annual Maintenance Contract. I had a problem in that purifier and I called in Eureka Phobes Helpline and they assured to send me the technician within 24 hours. When the technician did not turn up within 10 days, I again called up in that number, and they provided me the Whitefield service center phone no 080-[protected] and requested me to talk with Miss Priya / Miss Sudha. I called them and requested them to send the technician, and promised me that they will give me a call to let me know when the technician will come. But till date they never give me a call back and one day Miss Sudha said she is alone in the department, so it’s not her duty to give a call to the customers and she provided me with her senior officer no [protected]. I contact the officer, and the technician arrived to my place, repaired the machine, and told he is the only technician for the Kundalahalli area, so it is not possible for him to fix the problem in time. The machine was fine for two days and then again it’s not working. I again called Miss Sudha and she said that I should call the technician directly, not her because she is not aware about the technicians - and gave me the technician no [protected]. I called the technician and he told me he has already sent a person. Everyday I called at least five to six times and always he said that the technician is on the way. But till date no body turn up to repair the machine. I am running out of water for a long days and I have a aged person and child in my family. I feel it a shame for a reputed company like you who commit to the customer about your good service. I am totally disappointed with this sort of unprofessional behavior of these persons. I want to bring this issue to the public who trust your organization and purchasing the water purifier system. I demand compensation for all of my troubles.

Any one having complaints about Eureka Forbes water purifier should approach Consumer Redressal Forum ( This a Government body with semi judicial powers) in their area. Please keep all the records You can fight the case yourselves, no lawyer or stamps are required. Consumer forum is sympathetic to consumers. Consumer forum imposes penalty onthe companies and if the penalty is not paid then arrest warrant can be issued by court to make the company obey the court order. I was successful in my efforts.

We would like to inform you that we had purchased Aquaguard Water Purifier-RO system in the name of Gaurav Gupta & Associates in Gurgaon. Our Receipt No: 15919 & Order Form Cum Receipt No. [protected] dt: 26.2.08 from divisional sales office: Bhanu Complex, 2nd floor, Mehrauli Road, Sukhrali, Gurgaon-122001.

Our waterpurifier is not working since saturday. We called these nos. of Eureka Forbes : (Gurgaon) 4111664, 2343599, 2347599, helpline-[protected], complaint no: L-164 & [protected]. But waterpurifer still useless. We are amazed there is no co-ordination between Sales executice, Executive Engineer & Tele-caller. Telecaller said we dont have any no. of executive and don't know the activity of executives. It is surprising they dont take any responibility of customers' complaint or query.

Rupesh who attend the complaint on 11.6.08, not able to satisfy the complaint and SPICR no: [protected] dt:11.6.08.

Kindly solve the problem. Purifier is not supplying the water since saturday. We are forced to purchase the water from Bislery dispite of valuable product of Eureka Forbes. This is disgusting!

Thanks & Regards.

Sales agent Pradeep Rai, based at varanasi sold me RO water purifier and on July 6th 2007 he took 1600 rupees for service contact and since then he has disappeared. Contacting on phone he talked rubbish and told me that he has left the job and told me to contact head office. He promised me to give the receipt of bill next day and repair machine but since then he has not turnedup. Since this morning he has dropped his connection so I can not approach him. This is simply a case of fraud.
