Orange Woods
June 19, 2008
Around early May 2008, there were overwhelming ads in the city by hoardings, daily newspaper ads and FM radio jingles announcing the launch of Orange Woods with very tall claims. The claims in the ads said 'all Bangaloreans to burn down the furniture and buy from Orange Woods'. This led to an unprecedented response from gullible public who fell into the trap (this of course includes me too) and paid for the furniture which amounted minimum of Rs. 30K and upwards of Rs. 50K, i repeat everyone 'paid full advance money' went... read full review »

RoomStore
June 18, 2008
Anyone interested in buying from the roomstore needs to beware, they are the worst furniture store ever. First when I had me bedroom set delivered they had the nerve enough to deliver the bed with no mattresses. Then when I call the office he says oh yea I meant to call and tell you the mattresses were not in. Now why they heck would you deliver a metal bed frame with no mattresses, they should have just waited till they had it all to have it delivered. And I won't even get on household bank, which is the bank that finances their credit cards, cuz they're even worse. read full review »

Munroe Plumbing and Heating
June 18, 2008
I strongly recommend you do not employ this company to do any work in your home or business. They are employed by a house builder who built my home and I have experienced 3 major problems as a result of this plumber's work and it has cost me over $26, 000 to fix them and one has not been completely fixed yet. The owner has been approached to make restitution but because he has no personal integrity and lacks basic honesty, he won't admit to his mistakes and he has refused to accept any responsibility for his work. Based on my own experiences I wouldn't let him fix my garden house or light a candle. read full review »

Scanpan
June 18, 2008
I was about to buy a ScanPan NonStick Frypan, but then I found out that is was made from PTFE. The company cleverly hides this fact by saying their product is "green" and is not made from Teflon. But Teflon is PTFE and PTFE is known to cause cancer. PTFE is now listed as a carcinogen. So the nerve to sell cookware as healthy when it is made from PTFE. Of course, I returned the product after much hassles by ScanPans, but they couldn't refuse my return. They did charge me a cancellation fee, but I was happy just to get rid of... read full review »

Several years ago, I brought in three people to give me estimates for installing central air units. One of the three said that I would need two separate units.

The installation began, and was completed. The AC system was turned on and my house was not cooling in the way that it should have, but my electrical bills went through the roof.
