rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) @raccoon Had a Singer Food Processor which did a flawless duty for 12+ years of heavy use without any major problem. Now it's given to a relative since 3 years and working fine. Only a motor belt was replaced once. The model was exactly similar to this one > http://www.singerind...Home.aspx?id=17 Now on Maharaja Food Processor since 3 years. Gifted a Maharaja to a relative 9 years back which also is going good. People also have good things to say about Jaipan and bad experience with Bajaj. And for this type of items, you may get a better price with home appliances shops in your city than Online Deals. Similar to Lohar Chawl in Mumbai which is the area to buy such stuff at better prices. Edited July 19, 2011 by rajanmehta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shanusmarty 29 Report post Posted July 19, 2011 Rajan and anybody else in the know - any good deals for Mixer Grinder and/or Food Processors? Also, any ideas which brands/models are durable? Our Philips HL 1643 kicked the bucket with a burning smell. Lasted barely 4 ish years with moderate use. A nearby, well known shop fixed it and when the guy started it to demo that its working now when my parents went to get it back, it sprayed them with sparks. Almost burnt clothes. Four years life from a relatively pricier brand like Philips is not a good show. In fact, even visually they do not seem as if they are from an international brand. Not to mention other niggling issues. Any ideas which may be better, more durable options? I hear home grown brands are better in this segment. Rajan, counting on your valuable advice. you can go for Morphy Richards cutie mixer grinder, i ordered one from Futurebazaar.com for Rs1600 after idea customer discount, as its not necessary that your number has to be of Idea, you enter any network number, and you will receive the discount code on screen, and then apply to it the listing My link link for discount coupon My link though the discount coupon shows its expired, but its working so order ASAP. thanks and reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, a friend of mine who is an Elect Engg and also had a repair shop for such stuff, after going into the innards of whats in the market says that hes not come across anything that filters better than APCs. I do not know if he specifically compared it with Microteks though. My personal experience with my APC has also been very good. In fact its going strong since last 5+ years with nary a hiccup. Sometimes it runs off the inverter, but never thru a generator. It may be the generator that did your APC in... or just maybe Microtek makes better stuff now... @raccoon Had a Singer Food Processor which did a flawless duty for 12+ years of heavy use without any major problem.

Similar to Lohar Chawl in Mumbai which is the area to buy such stuff at better prices. Thats exactly the problem with stuff that has lasted so long - much of that stuff that was bought years ago seems to last real long. But buy the same brand today, and one very likely meets with disappointment. Typical eg. is IFB. So plenty of room to skid on the decision... Anyway, will check out Maharaja and Singer soon. I though there might be better deals online... like maybe form Letsbuy. Need time to go to shops to compare prices, which I may not have, as its required urgently...

Our experience with their products would also keep me away. Also, I'v been hearing that home grown brands like Inalsa, Maharaja, etc., are better bets in this sector. But will check it out anyway at night. Thanks a lot. Any other inputs/experiences from anybody else are most appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) It may be the generator that did your APC in... or just maybe Microtek makes better stuff now... If the generator does a ups in then what is the use of such a ups; APC does not think or build products as per Indian power conditions or usage habits. It's circuits are more based on the American stable power supply system. Whereas Microtek products are more sturdier and built to last in Indian conditions. APC products are also over priced. Even an eight year old Microtek beats them hands down. This is a personal opinion based on my experience and others may have had a different experience. Lets discuss further if you so wish, otherwise I feel there is no need to prolong this discussion. Edited July 19, 2011 by dkaile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My comments were based on what a very reliable and qualified friend told me. And also thru personal experience with 1 APC UPS. I haven't gone inside either APC or Microtek, nor have i used a Microtek UPS so can't comment further. Unless we can compare the output waveform from both, in all situations, I guess we can't determine which one wins. Edited July 19, 2011 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
