Consumer review about T.V manufacturers

March 8th, 2012 | Posted by admin in Product Reviews | Services Reviews - (6 Comments)

1 – I was out to purchase a 57-inch TV from Fry’s a little over a year ago. After reviewing all the many choices to choose from, I was impressed with the many capabilities that Samsung had on this particular TV, so I punched it. Throughout that year, I spent more time out of state than at home. As of 2012, we are back, and I decided to enjoy my TV. As I browsed the menu to set up everything that this TV has to offer, I ran into a snag. So I called the Samsung number for assistance. I was trying to access Smart Hub but was told that I need to purchase a Samsung wireless LAN Adapter; so we did.

I once again called Samsung for further assistance. To my disappointment after following the lead of the many instructions from your Samsung tech, I was told that my TV does not provide the features that they were trying to set up. I replied with “Then why are these items on the TV and remote control?” They could not explain other than “It’s advertisement.” My question: What false advertisement? I hung up the phone and called back, hoping that perhaps I had connected with someone who didn’t know what they were talking about.

Once again, I jumped through all the hoops and was finally told that this TV is not compatible with the item that I purchase. The item that they told me to purchase was WIS09ABGN, and my TV cannot support what is offered on the screen. So she took me to Media P and took up over an hour of my time just to inform me that I could download movies from my computer onto my TV. Huh? In 2012, who does that? DirecTV offers that with a click of the remote, but I was requesting the ability to use Netflix.

2 – I purchased a television for my family for Christmas and it stopped working. So I took it to a repair shop (Topps) and paid for them to look at it and give me an estimate to fix it. The computer panel is out and the cost to fix the television would be over $900, so I disposed of the television but am very upset.

3 - I purchased a LG TV for Christmas 2010. For the past, while it has been having trouble turning on, I would have to press the button multiple times before it would finally go on. Recently, it simply stopped and would click over and over but would never actually come on. I started researching and found that there was a known problem with a capacitor on LG TVs made around that time. I called LG customer service and they promptly told me that my model was not on the list of affected models. I explained to them that I was having the same symptom and believed it was the same problem. They said that my one year warranty had ran out (tell me something I didn’t know, this is 2012 and the TV was purchased in 2010), but that they were willing to give me the names of some shops in my area that would graciously repair my set for a price. I tried to tell them that it was unacceptable, but they stood firm.

Anyway, in the end, I went out and purchased another TV (not LG). The thing is I’ve always been a loyal LG customer. I’ve currently own 2 LG TVs (one not working), 2 DVDs and 1 cd player. However, based on this last experience, I will never purchase any LG equipment again. It simply boggles my mind that they would know that this is a problem with so many models, but would insist that the problem could not possibly be happening even though the symptoms are exactly the same.

4 - Once again Haier is trying to get out of helping their customers. I sent a complaint into Consumer Affairs on September 27, 2011, telling about my experience with my faulty “clicking” TV and the inaction by Haier Customer Service. My brother had checked the TV and stated it would be a costly fix. So it was disposed of at the local landfill and I bought a new one.

A class action lawsuit apparently forced them to deal with the issues that were very prevalent with these TVs with the faulty capacitors so I filled out the claim form and very shortly afterwards received a call back from Haier stating I needed proof that I had disposed of the TV.

What proof? Why would I have ever even thought that I would need proof that I threw a TV away? Oh right, I knew that there would be a class action lawsuit! I have a receipt of the new TV I had bought to replace it and, believe me, it wasn’t a Haier! I have a feeling lots of people did the same thing I did and now, with all their scheming and greediness, a lot of people still won’t be compensated.

A genuine ethical way to earn money

Josh Spaulding of complete internet guru is one of my favorites whom I follow. His making money through ethical marketing has had very good impact on my life and it provided me hope that there might be many good people like him on the internet. I think I like the ethical part the most about him. I often come across the online money scams and marketing gurus who just wanted to make money no matter what is the circumstances. Josh truly cares about the people he works for. Check out his blog, you won’t regret it and post your opinions here.

Waste of time

February 19th, 2012 | Posted by admin in Product Reviews | Services Reviews - (3 Comments)

Some body a while back sent me a 15 minute Google domination course and I am so delighted I didn’t spend my $35 on it. Since it is an e-book, it is free to publish, which means someone actually thought this book was worth $35 s. That person was high on crack. Most of this information is readily available on the web and can be found with a Google Search or completely outdated. Overall it was a complete waste of my time to read and unfortunate for my friend who is out $35 dollars.

Fake Customer Reviews ( Viral Videos)

February 8th, 2012 | Posted by editor in Uncategorized - (0 Comments)

You will encounter all kinds of people every day in life. Some people will be nice to you, while others may choose to be nasty. Do you find yourself asking these questions: Look what they did to me? What did I do to cause them to treat me this way? Poor me, poor me. Stop the blame game! Those nasty people might have personality disorders, emotional problems –or they may be tired, angry, or hurt. Do not give out evil for evil, but rather give good. When you give good, it will come back to you. Usually people are mean and nasty because they may have some personal interest like money, love etc.

Oooppps iii lets come to the main topic, if you are on our page and by some instance reading this article than consumer watchdog would like to expose you to a guy, who’s really nasty. You pay him some bucks; he will deliver you a nice viral video i.e. for $5 and if you want this video to crawl up than he can provide you with the views, likes and comments and this is just for $20.

Recently this guy made viral videos against good reputable universities and previously also this nut head has been up to these kinds of ugly things. After getting mails and calls from the Consumer watchdog fans regarding this nasty guy, we decided to carry out a comprehensive research and as you know watchdog fans , when we are up to something than we are better than any investigation organization.

This guy is a total fake and the proof of that is already given above. Frankly speaking he really has some serious personality disorders. This guy has obsession about money and therefore he’s out there on a hunt to make money through unethical practices.

So the bottom line is that he’s like many of the fools in this world, who are mentally retarded.

The Filthy Poko Nappies

January 25th, 2012 | Posted by Esther in Product Reviews - (0 Comments)

Every day when billions of nappies make way through millions of households, they are likely to make many loyal customers to their name. As parents, they’ll testify their loyalty to a particular brand, and exhibit their reluctance to shift their loyalty to another one.

I was a loyal customer of the Poko Nappies some time back but when it came to getting it on for my daughter, the diaper actually dappled when it got fuller. Rather than soaking the entire filth, as the company promised in their ad, the whole thing trickled down the leg damping the legs, socks, trousers and whatever she has on.

When you are delivered something that is contrary to what is being promised in the ad, the product is a testimony to how they cheat and deceive their respective customers.

Upon inquiry I got to know that I wasn’t the only one who had been having trouble with the diapers.  There were a dozen more mothers who got to become a victim of these Poko Nappies. I am simply unable to comprehend as to why Poko changed the design in the first instance.

I hope the relevant authorities address to this issue.

The true branding experience

January 14th, 2012 | Posted by John H in Product Reviews | Services Reviews - (0 Comments)

An experience I find myself talking about a lot is my recent visit to an American Girl Place store in New York City. While I expected to see rows of beautiful dolls for sale, which of course I did, I was unprepared for the “experience” offered to both the end users, young girls, and purchasers, mothers. Far beyond offering dolls that represent girls from various eras of American history, American Girl offers young girls an identity and inner strength. Each doll has a story to tell (which is covered in 6 hardback books you can buy), that includes the challenges and trials of being 8 years old at the particular time they represent.. The dolls alone create an experience as they share a perspective of “girl power” and inspiration for personal strength with the young girls.

The physical store, or American Girl Place, of which there are only three in the U.S., creates one of the most brand-bonding experiences I’ve ever witnessed. I watched in amazement as young girls and their mothers eagerly filed in the store. The girls were dressed in the same outfit as their dolls in many cases. And they weren’t here for the shopping, they were here for the experience which included tea parties with their dolls and moms in the most charming tea room I’ve seen this side of Versailles; for a photo session with their doll; to attend the Theatre that brought to life each doll, their historical era, and their personal triumphs. They were there to take their dolls to the doll hospital, or learn how to give their dolls new hair styles. They were there most importantly to “Follow Their Inner Star,” the company’s theme and slogan. Mothers were there for an experience with their daughters they would cherish for lifetime. In fact, I have friends who have traveled to New York or Chicago primarily to go to the American Girl Place (aptly named as it is much more than a store).

Beyond dolls, American Girl provides books and magazines to help young girls cope with challenges of growing up, such as dealing with boys at schools, making new friends, managing money, playing team sports, cooking, and fashion ideas, etc. Young girls love learning how to be as strong as their American Girl, and mothers love the values taught through the books and events offered such cooking classes, daddy-daughter and mother-daughter activities, and more. The product is the least of the experience while at American Girl Place yet I was hard pressed to find any young girl with mom in tow that didn’t walk out the door with a huge new supply of doll clothes and accessories.

Customer is NOT really the king at Citibank

January 13th, 2012 | Posted by Aaron in Services Reviews - (0 Comments)

There is one major misstep various large conglomerates take. They tout consolidation so that they “know you better as a customer” yet never deliver on that promise.

After 20 years of having multiple accounts at Citibank (personal checking, business checking, mortgages, credit cards) all of my credit card accounts were frozen for two late payments (despite paying off the cards in full each month).

Despite multiple calls to managers they informed me that each business was run separately and there was nothing they could do. I immediately closed all accounts, and set up new ones at a different provider for each. Of course, when I closed the account their “customer service” team wanted to know why. I told them I had moved out of town.

However I had never imagined such poor customer service from the world’s biggest financial group.

Whirlpool WFE1210CS

January 12th, 2012 | Posted by Wilfredo in Product Reviews - (0 Comments)

3 months after buying machine, it broke down. Had to get an authorized repairer to come out. He ‘fixed’ it but 3 days later, same problem. Called Whirlpool to request another service call but as it was – no reply… The machine is funny and it puts the socks through into the pump; cost $77 each time you wash to get them removed! Had nothing but problems with it, customer service staff rude and hang up on you! … I am damn fed up of this machine and I am not going to purchase any of the whirlpool machines in near future

Philips CED750 car stereo – Wish I had bought something else…

January 10th, 2012 | Posted by Helen in Product Reviews - (0 Comments)

Almost every aspect of this device is bad. The system sometimes crashes when navigating through the settings. Bluetooth streaming freezes often with different phones.mp3 disc playback freezes then resumes sometimes. Hissing sound during playback. I went for something cheaper and got the results that if you buy something cheap than you should expect cheap results and same goes with the Philips car stereo. I wished if I have spent some more money and bought something good i.e. in terms of quality.
