After a week long exploration, I narrowed on Aquaguard Magna HD UV+RO model. There are quite a few bad reviews about Eureka Forbes and Aquaguard products here, however I decided to play a gamble.
Pros:
- I applied for free demo on Eureka Forbes website following which I immediately got a call from one of their sales executive(Kiran Reddy from Kormangala branch). We booked a time as per my convenience for a demo and I got one.
My learning: The demo in India for any purifier is to present buyer with some brouchers and some gyaan. No brands provided me a live demo this includes HUL PureIt and Kent.
The price was negotiated top the core and I paid entire amount on installation. It is a battle to get discount from these guys as their sales & marketing strategy is different from Kent or any other company.
From Demo to delivery and installation was just 2 days job and water quality is quite good.
It was overall a very good experience and hope the product will deliver and leave upto its promise.
Cons:
In order to reach their sales target, one sales agent from another area of Bangalore was chasing me and forcing to buy from him for Rs.500 more discount. This was after I committed to Kiran Reddy who initially came for demo.
They insist you to make full payment or atleast partial payment while placing the order, which I simply rejected(have read horror stories from mouthshut).
They should have suggested to install a softner(additional filter) which Kent guys did as ours area has very hard water.
