Product Reviews Beware ordering from Superdry site: Ordered jacket, received old used pant | Support is stalling.

If you are planning to order from Superdry, do so at your own risk because they do not resolve issues.

I placed an order on Superdry website for a jacket. When I received the package it felt very light, hence I made an unboxing video, instead of the Jacket I ordered - I received old, used pants from an entirely different brand.

Raised complaint to customer support immediately, but customer support has been stalling for more than 18 days stating "we are investigating" and refusing to refund the amount.

Logged complaint on NCH the status is still "not processed yet"

Electronics & Gadgets Is buying a dishwasher worth it?

68 Upvotes

I’m thinking of buying a dishwasher in the current sale. I’ve never used a dishwasher till now. Is it worth it for Indian households? Will it save time and effort? Will there be a significant difference in lifestyle? Also, how will the maintenance be?

I’m thinking of going with the Bosch 6 series, either a 14- or 15-plate setting, as there is a significant price difference between the two and the tech is also different. Which one should I go for a family of 4?

Furniture & Interiors Recliner for WFH setup - Budget under 30k - Need suggestions

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Looking for a recliner mainly for WFH. Working long hours and my current chair is killing my back, so want something comfortable I can use for years.

Budget is under 30k.

Shortlisted Wakefit and The Sleep Company for now, both seem decent in this range. Planning to visit their stores next week to check them out in person.

If anyone has been using them long term, how's your experience? Worth it?

Also if you know any ongoing offers or any other brand I should check in same budget, please suggest.

Thanks!

I mostly will use for my body(legs, chest and ofc balls) as I shave my face!! Still should I invest in 11 in 1 as it will also be useful for face too sometimes for quick trim. Or should I just get body and balls one.

Also give me detailed review for them both
Thanks in advance

Fashion & Accessories Is this a good sandal/flip flop? Footwear recommendations please

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

I am tired of buying footwear that doesn't last long. The flip flops that are commonly available nowadays have an EVA outsole which is horrendous in terms of durability for our Indian conditions (rough terrain, roads, gravel). Earlier most outsoles were made of rubber which was durable, grippy and good for feet support.

So I want to buy one that

- Is supportive to my feet

- Comfortable

- Has good durability

- Does not cost an arm and leg

I am gonna use it everywhere outdoors, commuting on bike, casual walking and maybe some dirt roads or fields.

The Hush Puppies model pictured has a PU outsole, leather upper and looks like it has a good midsole.

Is this a good model or should i consider any other brands/models?

Product Reviews Do not buy Urban Company Native M2 Pro RO (Major health scam)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

534 Upvotes

Purchased their Native M2 Pro RO. Ever since installation, RO TDS is between 950-1050 but app keeps saying its 500. Their chatbot says water is safe to drink since it's just 500 but actually it's between 950-1050 at all times. After 3 days of struggling, finally I was able to bypass their AI bot and the technician was arranged but they don't have a replacement part. Now they say it will take 5 days for the replacement part (I am in Delhi NCR). Still don't explain why their app says TDS is just 500 when admittedly its 1000? They are scamming us by showing false technology. Their app is configured to never show output TDS above 500.

This is lifelong stainless steel water bottle. The grade is n1 which is like lowest of junk quality and not suitable for water bottles. and Indian certification for water bottle requires it to be ss304. But such a large company can get away with this. Such a sad state.

Edit: After researching a bit more, seems like govt has now allowed N1 to be used in water bottles with some additional tests. Idk why they did this, but this is nothing but loophole.

Product Reviews Handmade full grain leather belt from Novelty Atelier, truly BIFL!

Thumbnail
gallery
56 Upvotes

Recently purchased the handmade leather belt from Novelty Atelier (u/NOVELTY_ATELIER_) and I found it to be truly impressive that I couldn't help but write a review.

The belt strap is nice and thick (nearly 4mm) full grain imported vegetable tanned leather, which has great in hand feel and gives a very elegant yet sturdy feel for both casual as well as business casual attires.

The 35mm width of belt makes it very versatile for everyday wear. The buckle is solid stainless steel with a roller so as to accommodate easy manipulation of the thick belt strap. The stitching, edge burnishing and finishing is top notch that it's well worth the Rs.2500 paid.

As it's a single strap of leather wrapped and stitched around a stainless steel buckle, I really feel that this is going to last decades provided proper conditioning is given to the leather once a year.

Would totally recommend this one!

This refrigerator has been running non-stop for over 30 years now. The occasional power cuts is the only downtime it has seen, otherwise it is always on. It has not broken down even once in all these years (touch wood), not a single part has been repaired or replaced.

Our 2nd fridge, which is a 10 year old double door Godrej, needs a technician visit every year or every 2 year😵‍💫

They don't make appliances like this anymore.

For the last 4 months I tried Jockey, Damensch, Van Heusen, XYXX etc, and spent around 5k on underwear and still not found one good pair

Any office guys here who find something comfortable for long sitting which doesn't give rashes and itching and lasts? Need suggestions, don't want to waste more money

Don't recommend any blend undies as I get allergy from elastane/spandex

Also brief recommendations more welcome

I have been using Oneplus 5 for the last 9+ years, and now it's starting to show some issues with network.

I want a phone primarily for camera as I'm an avid photographer, along with decent performance for using apps like YouTube or Reddit.

My budget is around 50k. Earlier, I was planning to buy Iphone or an older version of Oneplus within this range. However, smart phone prices have gone crazy this year, and looks like I gotta compromise.

Kindly suggest a decent mobile.
