pnK4mdNzZ5EPureit Classic Water Purifier is Perfect For a Small Family, Could Do With Design Tweak Real Reviews August 27, 2012 Kitchen Appliances 2 views: 51642 Rajashree, a housewife from Dahisar, can still remember the stressful week last year when her 12-year-old daughter Ketki was hospitalized due to a stomach infection in Kolhapur. The culprit: contaminated borewell water. She realised it wasn’t enough to boil the water. That’s how Hindustan Unilever’s Pureit Classic water purifier found a way into her home. In the video, Rajashree explains how the purifier works and says its 9-litre storage capacity is enough to last the drinking needs of her four-member family for an entire day. Now that she’s moved to Mumbai, she uses tap water for her cooking needs (Rajashree says she fully trusts the civic body’s water supply). She is also quite happy with the company’s customer service, saying that a service person arrives at her doorstep within 48 hours of calling the Pureit Helpline. In 3 years of its use, Rajashree says no one in her family has had another serious stomach infection. Rajashree does have a very useful tip to give Hindustan Unilever (HUL) regarding the design of the product. Water has to be poured into this purifier manually and since the top half of the purifier is not transparent, Rajashree cannot tell when to stop pouring the water, resulting in water overflowing and often spilling onto her kitchen counter. While there are other Pureit purifiers in a higher price range that have the autofill feature, a simple design fix on the Pureit Classic can make this product a lot more user-friendly.

It is indeed disappointing, because HUL greatly prides itself for its quick and efficient Customer Care. We’ve received positive feedback from Rajashree (about both the purifier and the PureIt helpline) and a few other consumers we found using PureIt purifiers. But of course, there’s always two sides to a story. Let’s hope HUL takes note of your experience and reassesses its processes. Perhaps it will help them if you state what exactly went wrong with your purifier on the 4th day and where you are based.
