Shower head will not stay clamped, too easy to over-torque the clamp
Paid $459 for Methven Turoa VJet shower head from Bunnings. Replaced the nasty plastic hose with the stainless steel hose it should have been built with. Head will not stay in clamp but drifts downward, falls out violently. Clamp is easily over-torqued by the hand adjuster and the hex bolt holding this sorry arrangement together cannot be torqued up to increase the clamping force. One of the few stainless steel shower fittings with hose of any kind available, so the best of a very bad lot on the market in Australia. Now the head is on a hair-trigger and always liable to drift down and violently slap the head against the tile wall and/or user.

Water - drop by drop
Purchased a Methven Futura mixer tap for our kitchen during renovations. Although this was in 2014 I was not impressed at the dribble that came from the hot water. Four years on my husband had an insane moment when he saw what I had been tolerating. The plumber installed it and said at the time that was the best flow he could get. I learned to live with it. It wasn't the only poor advice I had received with our reno. Feb 2022 and my husband 'did his thing' and we actually got 4.5ltr/pm and this has lasted just 13 months. The tap has given u...Read more
p a resorted to its old behaviour 1.5 ltr/pm hot water. Same tap 5ltr/pm cold water????? Having paid $270.00 for this tap I thought I might get a tap that was efficient. By the time I get sufficient water in the sink it is almost cold and after 5 years I am not feeling like recommending Methven. Have emailed Methven as yet no response. Not smart enough to be able to add a video of the dribble to this. (I doubt if Methven would like to see it)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Customer service does not exist
Purchased a sink mixer which is under warranty and faulty, getting in touch with their warranty team is impossible. Emails go unanswered and call backs do not happen. Stay clear.

Most expensive badly engineered shower. Worked for 1 day.
Bought from Bunnings on Friday 14th valentines day for my wife, most expensive rail shower they had and red dot design winner etc. Plumber came on Saturday 15th. Shower worked that evening to great joy. On Sunday 16th the adjusting clamp on the shower rail stopped clamping and the shower head fell on my daughter. Sunday 17th and the shower head is held up with gaffer tape! $400 of great design and engineering? Definitely not a recommended shower.

Methven - Douche Trigger Spray Kit
Methven - Douche Trigger Spray Kit; It is always difficult to find a Douche Spary system that is "Drip Proof" in our high pressure water supply system. Flexi Spray used to produce such Kit at very reasonable price with "Life Time Warranty" but since Flexi Spary was brought by Methven - That warranty was null and voided by Methven.
Methven has progressively developed a relatively Drip Free - Douche Spray system after - inserting a special adapter in to the Handset. It is working but Very Costly (about $100 Plus -retail).
The GWA Group has brought Methven - to be seen how they will honour the Methven "Life Time Warranty"
NSW Fair-trading Laws are not that effective to support consumers in such circumstances

Decline in after sales service since Caroma taking over Methven.
What a shame Caroma have bought out Methven 6 months ago. Their after sales service has gone from top notch to below average. I will definitely think twice about buying Methven products from now on.

Smooth Easy Clean Hose 1500 mm Chrome
This is a very nice looking shower hose. However, the required washers are NOT included for some obscure reason. I contacted customer services and they grudgingly sent me some otherwise I would have had water spurting everywhere or had to pay extra for them. I would expect these to be included in the box like other shower hose, especially as this item is more expensive than most.

Disgraceful customer service on warranty
Opened a warranty claim in November for a tap replacement which was agreed and that's the last I heard. I have enquired 4 times as to what's happening and also have the place of purchase chasing them up too. Never get a response and it's totally unacceptable at this point.

Very poor service
Purchased a gooseneck kitchen tap in 2012 with a 15 year warranty, The housing containing the strainer components disintegrated and the strainer and washer pieces fell out. Sent Methven photos of the broken pieces and receipt on 3/1/20 and received a docket number. Waited 10 days and got no response so rang their 1300 number and after being on hold for over 15 minutes took the option for a call back. Still did not hear from Methven so rang again 4 days later and this time got through to one of their staff only to be told that they only handled ...Read more
Caroma warranty problems and that they would forward my docket number onto the Methven people to follow-up. Again 4 days later still no response. If the parts are no longer available or they are not going to accept the warranty claim it would be good to receive advice as having to wrap a chux cloth over the end to stop the water flow from splashing all over the sink and bench is not ideal. So if this is an indication of their warranty service there seems little point in buying their product based on 15 - 20 year warranties.1 comment

Crap taps even worse warranty service!
The title says it all. Avoid Methven! After purchasing another methven tap was promised that future renovation needs would be looked after. At that stage no further responses to emails.

Methven going silent after warranty claim
Methven customer support and post sales support is atrocious! Simply ridiculous. I have been emailing them for the last two months about a warranty claim for a shower head and I have only had one response to an email asking me for details and proof and nothing since! Showerhead is under 3 years old and they supposedly have 25 years warranty!
Don't buy from them and dont buy thinking you are going to get peace of mind with their extended warranty. It's a load of crap.

Good solid well designed stainless steel tapware. But expensive, DOA, extremely faulty and bad customer service
Do not even try and make support tickets with this company. They don't respond to them. I had to call them each time.
I bought a VJET stainless steel shower, the parts are very solid and well made. But immediately after getting the plumber to install it. The headset clip was faulty and so the headset drops down facing the wall. Terrible shower and customer service experience.
The headset kept dropping, falling out and the sharp edges of the clip has damaged and scraped up the dodgy plastic coating on the hose. Immediately after installation...Read more
the hose is damaged and peeling off. They sell faulty products and sounds like there is many similar warranty problems and claims. Got a run around with support with them claiming I didn't buy the product, and having to jump through hoops to prove proof of purchase. I already registered the product this isn't on. They were refusing to help fix the faulty part even though I showed photos of it. It is still currently ongoing.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Customer service magic
Our satinjet showerheads are failing. I called them and described the fault. I don't have a receipt as they were supplied by the builder. They asked for my address and immediately posted out replacements.
They're wonderful shower heads - they really don't feel like they're using so little water. And the customer service was amazing.

Great customer service
Great customer service from Methven when our Satinjet showerhead which is probably ten years old and a great showerhead stopped working efficiently. I emailed them a description and a photo of the problem and in less than a week they sent a replacement free of charge. My shower is back to normal - brilliant. Thank you, Methven.

Choose another brand
I purchased three fittings to be installed in the bathroom wall, two of the brass sections of the fittings split once the water was turned on, fortunately the plumber checked it before the wall was rendered. Under the warranty I was obliged to accept replacement ones however I would have preferred to buy a different brand. The rep blamed my plumber for using too much tape and spanner pressure however my plumber has been doing this for 20 years and the excuse given has no merit in my opinion, just an excuse. Under consumer laws I believe I was entitled to a refund, I should have pursued it but I will not buy any Methven again, nor will my plumber.

Methven customer service are awesome!
I will only give a review because I either got great service or terrible service, Methev gave us great service. We used Methven Satinjet shower sets in our renovation a few years ago as they were recommended by our plumber. We were going to go with cheaper products but he explained there is a big difference in quality and Methven have a lifetime warranty. We have had 5 years of daily use without any problem. Recently we did have a problem with a leak around the base of one of the showerheads. I contacted their Customer Service team and explaine...Read more
d the problem, they were really helpful and sent me an email with the details of a warranty claim. I filled it in, sent some pictures of the leak and literally two days later I have received a replacement part. Fantastic hassle free service, I can genuinely recommend Methven products.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Service wasn't helpful
I bought a Methven future shower rail/head, 5 years ago, it started leaking from the head after turning shower off, no it' not the washers in the taps. I contacted Methven with all the details, they told me to turn the head pointing to the ground then put a face washer over it. Great help guys, thanks for nothing!!

Methven Kiri Satinjet 5L ultra low flow version
Got one as part of a free bundle (normal price $135) with a Sanden hot water heat pump. Absolutely fantastic that it can save so much water while still giving a really enjoyable pleasurable shower. Highly recommend. Had to buy my own Flexispray dual pivot arm to go with it as the existing one was a cheaper all-in-one press fit one.

Methven Kiri Satinjet Ultra Low Flow showerhead
I bought 2x Methven Kiri Satinjet Ultra Low flow showerheads. 1x Rose on modern arm and 1x Handheld. Excellent performance, I can't imagine a shower being this good using any less water. 5 Litres per minute is really impressive. Suprised how difficult they are to find. It's either UK import on Amazon (risky warranty) or buy from the Pure Electric online store I did the latter for peace of mind. Please be aware this is the 9 hole 5L version whereas the Bunnings 21 hole version is a gusher by comparison. This also has a way better pelting feeling than any other low flow showerhead I've tried.

Questions & Answers
Magitaasked
I bought a hand held flexispray hand held shower.
The problem is when it’s tightened so that hose is facing down it is not tight enough, it wobbles and won’t hold the shower head! I cannot tighten it another full turn so the hose is facing upwards.What should I do?

Sorry can't help. Had my own problems with our Methven tap with no response to my email. Husband and I resorted to 'backyard mechanics' to fix the problem (sort of). Would never recommend Methven for their after sales service. THERE IS NONE.
Maudie,
Thank you for you reply. It is so disappointing as it never said " you might need to cut the pipe" if it had I wouldn't have bought it!! I bought a different and had a similar problem!!

Have no experience with this product suggest you contact Methven within hours of my post they contacted me to apologise for delay and said the part was being sent to me by air freight. They are having a few teething problems since being joined with the caroma brand. Good luck hope you get a quick resolution.
Same problem here with the same product. Will contact Methven.

Since posting this review Methven staff have responded very quickly and I already received the replacement part. The delay was caused by some teething problems with Caroma and probably not helped because of Christmas / New Year.
