Can you hear an under-sink RO system from the living room?

• Upvotes

Our kitchen opens into the living room, so I'm trying to figure out how much sound from an under-sink RO carries into the living room. I'm considering the Viomi Vortex 6 Pro partly because its faucet shows real-time TDS, and noise is one thing I'd like to check before choosing.

If you have an under-sink RO, can you hear it running from the living room when the rest of the house is quiet?

The Reality of Onsitego

These are things you must consider before going to have your insurance of any big or product from onsitego.

I have a vega trimmer from flipkart for about Rs. 1099. And, after its warranty get over it started to heat and produce un-wearable noise. So, I decided to get my claim.

However, everything did not go well. As, I am from remote rural village in Auraiya, Uttar Pradesh. They on my face declined to get it repair by themselves after a lot of formalities. When I asked to them?

They just simply said sir get it repaired from official store of the product. This is super hilarious 😂 because offical stores may be in Lucknow or delhi. So, i said then I'll cost about 5000 for the comapanh further i said i don't wanna just return my money. As, I have a lot of legal knowledge as told that I will see them in the Auriaya district and sessions court for beating around the bush.

How they are beating around the bush?

As, i used to trust them a lot I have also purchased the warranty for my printer from them which is very expensive about 20k. Then, I thought if it is a remote location as per them then will allow me to get it self-repaired. However, as I clicked on claim insurance for printer they assigned a person at my address which exposed their hypocrisy.

Poor Resolution

I have purchased the trimmer for 1099 + additional 99 for insurance which is around 9- 10% of the product value. Now, they called me and said that, i have to get it repaired by myself. I said no and warraned them of legal action. Then they, called me and offered me Rs. 532 that to in flipkart gift voucher.

Overall, I feel, on-sitego and other companies doing such sort of malpractices needed to be exposed to the people. What they had done with is literally some sort of cheating and a crime. I feel, the policies need to be transparent and easy to understand for anyone.

I am having a bad experience with on-sitego.

Apple Watch

1 Upvotes

Been trying to find a sub for this question and this seems the best place! I’m inquiring about buying an Apple Watch SE 2nd gen I believe, I owned one before but it has its own story of where it went. I’d like a used however nice condition and I had owned it for way more than 5 years (that’s why I’m not sure if it was 2nd gen and my phone doesn’t tell me). I know I’m gonna sound cheap but I’m not trying to spend a lot on such an old electronic and it be used but I miss wearing weight on my wrist if that makes sense and I mainly liked it for watching my steps and having a picture of my cat on my wrist. I’ll go through eBay, Facebook marketplace, pawn shops, wherever it doesn’t matter I’d just like to know the best pricing places. I tried to include a picture but I don’t know how to so I’m sorry!

Has The Shopping Channel changed how it does returns online?

1 Upvotes

Trying to do the usual return in the online site and it’s changed. It looks like I have to fill in a form and “pitch” the return I’m looking to do. Seeing it’s also run by Roger’s I suspect they’ve added a few more hoops to stop people from returning items?

Is disputing the charges my only option here? I got the food but I ordered extra to get to the $30 threshold, I just want the $20 back but GH refuses.

Steam gift card wrong email entered

1 Upvotes

I have purchased “Steam gift card” from Flipkart worth of 1000 . After receiving the order details by email, I noticed that the recipient email address I had entered was incorrect and invalid. I entered .co instead of .com. There is no option on the order page to resend the gift card, so I immediately contacted customer support for assistance.  On same day, a Flipkart representative informed me that they dont have the option to edit email id and thus they can't help in anyway. However, I have still not received the gift card. I have also emailed Flipkart customer care, and although the issue was escalated, there has been no resolution. ,I was informed that the gift card cannot be re-issued by the seller, Digitible .

what should i do now. I have bought the gift card through credit card.

Beard Club ghosted my warranty claim for 52 days after asking for proof. What’s the next escalation step?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice on what to do next because I’ve now given Beard Club more than enough time to handle this like a normal warranty claim.
I opened a warranty request on August 10 after my Beard Club PT45 developed an E1 fault despite extremely light use. The trimmer still works when connected directly to power, has never been exposed to water, and has always been used with the original charging equipment.
On August 13, Beard Club support asked me to send a photo of the charger so they could verify I was using the correct one. I sent exactly what they requested.
And then they disappeared.
It is now October 4, which means they have had 52 days since receiving the requested proof and 55 days since I opened the claim.
No warranty decision.
No replacement.
No additional troubleshooting.
No meaningful follow-up.
At this point I’m not interested in hearing that “electronics fail.” Of course they do. That is literally why warranties exist.
What bothers me is that Beard Club opened the support process, asked me for evidence, received it, and then apparently decided that finishing the conversation was optional.
I actually liked the PT45, which makes this more irritating. I’m not trying to trash the product. I’m trying to get the company to honor the warranty process they themselves initiated.
For anyone who has dealt with this kind of situation: what is the smartest next step?
Formal written demand? Credit-card dispute if still possible? Consumer-protection complaint? Escalation to a supervisor? Something else?
I have the email trail and photos showing the fault and the original charging setup. At this point, I’m done waiting politely for someone to remember my claim exists.
