Will never recommend Philips to anyone
Complaint Reference: Philips Consumer Care [ ref:_00Dw0Cp29._5002X2hxmMK:ref ]
My Cooker HD2145/72 is faulty and still under warranty.Philips have been notified back in January 2020 and there has been no resolution yet. I sent them everything that they requested but doesn't look like they care.Terrible customer service.I am never going to buy another Philips product, nor recommend it to anyone. I am surely going to take this up with ACCC, because this is beyond joke!!!

Never use Philips again
I purchased the LM8014/60 barista L'Or coffee machine which became faulty within 9 months.
It has now been over 4 months back and forth with Philips with no resolution - Philips have acknowledged the machine is faulty but are not willing to provide any sort of compensation as the machine is no longer made.
The customer service is very poor with no direction, and all they can do is shift the blame to the retailer and have them fix the problem.
This is philips' problem to fix - I will never buy a Philips product again and would not suggest anyone does.

Cashback is a joke, and customer service are ignoring.
The worth experience I ever had, They just make excuses and their plan is to not pay the cash back even with lying. they told me we send you email which they never did, even though I attached the receipt they reject the cash back because I didn't have the receipt. the cash back offer period still goes on for 1.5 more month based on their website, but they say It's ended. and they just keep making new excuse each time.
I bought a Lumea Prestige Hair Removal device and it suppose to have 100$ cashback.
I keep sending emails to them regarding my issue and they keep ignoring me an they don't reply anymore.
DO NOT FALL FOR PHILIPS CASHBACK SCAM!!!!

Terrible customer service !!!
I have a multi-cooker which is still under warranty, and have had a number of issues with it. I have taken it to a service centre twice to be fixed and when I got it back I still had issues with it, I can't even use it! I contacted customer service quite a few times and keep getting told that my complaint has been escalated. I just called again and they transferred me 3 times, then they hung up, and I have now received a text to say that it has been escalated. The first person I spoke to a few weeks ago told me that I will get a replacement yet have not been told when or how. It is so frustrating, the worst customer service experience ever!!

Cash back offer a farce
I purchased my $500 Airfryer from Myer in December 2022. I registered the product on the Phillips website, completed the cash back online form, uploaded and attached the receipt in full via the cash back link on the 7th December and never received the $50 cash back even though I complied & was eligible for the offer. The offer expired on the 24th December 2022.
There is a level of dishonesty, misrepresentation and deceit by the Phillips corporation and I will not be purchasing any other Phillips product in the future.
Obviously customer service and compliance is not part of the Phillips mission statement.
Utterly disappointed.

DONT MEET AU STANDARDS
just now
Phillips customer service is based overseas. Raised complaimts, promised call backs and not to be trusted. I cant rate less then 1 star. Selling products that dont meet au standards and no response all falls back on the poor customer or the retailer very sad to see such a large company go this way, much better experiences with cheaper brands. I will never buy a phillips product again and go out of my way to advise family and friends to not.
Customers beware. If you buy the A215 air purifier All of these units have the same issue. The...Read more
night sensor on the unit has been designed to active when low levels of light are in the room. The night sensor on all units sold will activate when it should sense light. The unit from phillps has made all units sold turn on active a sensor when the light level is still high. There is no way to turn night mode off. The unit will always run in night mode. Night mode does not have the HEPA mode. No benift from night mode and no way to override it. Phillps habe no answer and have yet to correct the fault in the design No response from phillps yet they sell 500 a day2 comments

Horrible after care when a product doesn't live up to its marketing claims, and actually does damage
I purchased one of their Sonicare toothbrushes 5 months ago and even though I've used it properly, Philip's promised oral care ended up being the opposite and apparently could have led to major issues if I'd kept using it. What's worse is that I called the customer care team and they wanted me to pay to 'go to a doctor to get scans' to send them before they would even have anyone look into it. (I knew they meant dentist but it was such a cop-out as 1. you can't 'scan' the enamel I think, and 2. it means they what me to shell out over $120 just ...Read more
so they will look at it and take it seriously.) The rep was nice but the company policies don't care about customers at all, even when we trusted them enough to buy the apparently highest quality product they had. After calling Myer after, the rep said due to Philips' return policy, they highly recommended I lodge an official complaint against them with Consumer Affairs.. which takes even more time. Such a poor experience, AVOID PHILIPS. I know after this experience, from having a preference for their products, I will actively avoid as they don't even (actually) care about their customers when the products are not as advertised and go on to actually cause health issues.1 comment

I bought a Philips Lumea Advanced, and as far as I can see after one use, it is going to be great! BUT....
My purchase included a $100 cashback from Philips. Unfortunately, their website has glitches and I could not process the claim. So, I contacted their customer service. I recieved a cut and paste response. It said I had contacted the wrong department and would need to contant another one!

am so sorry you have contacted the incorrect department. However, I have forwarded your message to the correct department and you should receive a response from them shortly. Please do not hesitate to recontact us if you do not receive a reply within (insert reasonable timeframe...24 hours?).

The product is faulty and customer centre is not helpful
I purchased all-in-one cooker and after few months, the inner lid cover came off. I raised warranty service and they replaced it. But after the service, the pressure cooking is not working at all. When I use the pressure cooking for rice, the steam came out and it makes so weird noise. I was so scared and I reported to philips customer centre and all they were saying is inner lid rubber sealing was faulty - are you serious?
They sent me the new rubber seal and I tried and the same thing happened again. Now they want me to waste my time again to take it to the warranty service centre.
I don't believe philips products anymore and I am not purchasing any more philips products.

Reading of instructions
Your instructions for the GC2148/39 are terrible the languages are all over the place and the pictures require headings It would be most helpful to have the English and other languages all together instead of scattered all over the place.

One star is too much
When I never received information from authorised Philips repairer about my coffee machine under warranty which they had for 2 weeks I rang Philips not once but twice and emailed them twice as well never receiving a reply. Got machine back after 6 weeks and still does it. Repairer must have just descaled it.
Rang Philips again but after a week no reply

Warranty not worth anything
This review isn't really for the product because after receiving it from Shaver Shop the product information in the box said it wasn't suitable for me to use. So I tried the following: returning the product to Shaver shop in store, contacting Shaver shop online, contacting Philips via their customer support phone number. Both parties say I should be able to get a full refund but neither are willing to process this refund and are saying that it's the other company's job. Currently Philips say they are "investigating" this with Shaver shop and wi...Read more
ll not confirm what comes next. Since this product is very expensive, I would not recommend purchasing it unless several hundred dollars is spare change to you. This also makes me mad because I'm sure that this leads to faulty or unwanted items in landfill because repairs and returns are far too much hassle.7 comments

Don't try their cash back offers
I bought an Airfryer with Cash Back offer. I submitted online form for cash back but haven't receive the cash back. When I ring them they said the offer valid for certain period but I completed online form before that period. I can't imagine why such a large company can't offer $50 cash back for their entitled customers. So disappointing.

Cashback is a joke.
I purchased an Phillips Air-Fryer from Harvey Norman in December 2018. It had a cashback offer. I was required to register my product with Philips online and then register for the cashback. Which I did within a few days of my purchase. When I registered for the cashback, I received an email telling me that the Visa would be sent but would take time and to be patient. I didn't receive my cashback Visa by mid March 2022 so contacted them. Philips told me they can't find my claim and that I was now too late unless I could prove my claim. Sadly I h...Read more
ad deleted the email, trusting Philips. I asked them to check the date I registered my product. I'm still waiting for them to decide if they will honor my claim. 28 March, I got this email: "We have recently had approval to pay your Christmas cash back Claim via EFT. In order to do this we do require the below information before we can complete your claim. Account Name: BSB number: Account Number: " I replied sending my details. I believe this says they are paying the cashback.1 comment

ieatwords helped me to get the cashback
I purchased the Airfryer on December 18 and submitted the cashback claim right away. I provided all the information that was needed at the time. Three months later when nothing happened, I contacted the customer service asking about the progress and was told that I was contacted via email (which I didn't) and now the cashback offer is closed!!
After I submitted this the above-mentioned review, Philips contacted me again and decided to reconsider my request. The cashback was paid a couple of days after that.
Thanks to Product Review website!!
