Looks like there are many ppl in our forum itself who are facing constant issues with IFB. |
Guys, despite experiences such as above I went in for the most expensive and high tech model from IFB over other brands
hear the story...............
just as an FYI, this is the 3 rd replacment machine in our household since 1993. the 1st being IFB, with a change in 2002 with a Whirlppol front loader, which was bought back from the grave atleast thrice before it finally hit the bucket last week
now, I have a mental block against korean, though I have few product in the household and they are really serving fine..but stil..
so..the brands I was considering was Siemens and IFB, with a high degree of inclination towards Siemens as although we have owned IFB in the past with 100% satisfaction, the current sitrualtions of IFB apparently sings a differnt tune altogether
we have a neighbour who bought a siemen wm a year back and he has few more frienfs who are happy owners of Siemens WM, in general Siemens commands good respect in the market, so I started checking out the models, visited all sort of dealers and the website of siemens, it was surprising to see that there was no consistency amongs models thru shops, Siemens does not sell WM directly but thru a distributor called RBS <[COLOR=#008000]www.
rbs-home.com[/COLOR]> the models listed on thier site is obsolete and no more available, more than half of the site was not functioning which I checked, called up thier brand shops in Mumbai, he did not have detailed infor but he said he will email me the brouchure, which despite 4 reminders over the day he did no. this obviously spooked me off.. and however good the product may be if they are not serious about it then there is no point. did we not have many reputed global car makers in india falling flat on thier face because of good product but no service netwrok
with no option left, started exploring out IFB and was quite satisfied with the info provided on the site, moreover I found a friend in the circle who helped me to chose the right machine, though a little scared I went ahead with his recommendation which is 99.9% latest technology such as Steam, Washer, Dryer, sprinkle drum, etc just with the DD missing with the payload of 9kg for wash and 7 for dryer, the same will be delivered and installed on Monday evening
we were a little scared of going for such advanced technology but then thought..what the heck..let's just do it
if you guys find the post interesting, will share the experience as per the passing stage
as of now..both hands on my chest!! saying all iss well!!
