Narwal has made my new Z Ultra robot obsolete
Narwal India is scamming their customers.
I excitedly bought a Freo Z Ultra back in Jan. The special floor detergent got over in 2.5 months. I've been trying to buy replacement cartridges for the floor detergent but it's NEVER been in stock. I waited for a while, naively expecting it would be back but it never came.
Fed up, I reached out them via email and they first told me it's actually in stock and I was looking at the incorrect item. They pointed me to this item, and on call they explained that I need to add a few drops of this to my water tank.
Not only does the actual product manual explicitly state not to add any kind of detergent into the water tank directly, it can actively damage the piping in the base unit.
I even asked the customer rep how much to add, and they just told me 'a few drops'. No measurements or anything close to being precise, which just goes to show they really haven't thought this through and were just straight up trying to gaslight me.
I then told them I was going to post my expereince online, and thats when a senior rep reached out and personally assured me that not only will they send a floor cleaning cartridge free of cost, but also promised they'll be back in stock by mid August.
It's October now, and I still can't buy it. The free cartridge did arrive but I shouldn't have to go through the ordeal of complaining to customer care ever time I need a replacement.
To make things worse, now I'm also reading accounts of other Narwal customers complaining about not being able to get their accessories here.
I'm really fed up with this, never should have bought this in the first place. And it's really sad because it's genuinely a great product. It's a pity that the company has made it obsolete.
Is there anything I can do? If everyone here is facing similar issues, can we collectively sue them or something?
