Do not buy Urban Company Native M2 Pro RO (Major health scam)

Purchased their Native M2 Pro RO. Ever since installation, RO TDS is between 950-1050 but app keeps saying its 500. Their chatbot says water is safe to drink since it's just 500 but actually it's between 950-1050 at all times. After 3 days of struggling, finally I was able to bypass their AI bot and the technician was arranged but they don't have a replacement part. Now they say it will take 5 days for the replacement part (I am in Delhi NCR). Still don't explain why their app says TDS is just 500 when admittedly its 1000? They are scamming us by showing false technology. Their app is configured to never show output TDS above 500.

Do proper research before buying anything in Indian market, rampant violation going on.

This is lifelong stainless steel water bottle. The grade is n1 which is like lowest of junk quality and not suitable for water bottles. and Indian certification for water bottle requires it to be ss304. But such a large company can get away with this. Such a sad state.

This dude has been going strong for over 30 years without a single repair!!

This refrigerator has been running non-stop for over 30 years now. The occasional power cuts is the only downtime it has seen, otherwise it is always on. It has not broken down even once in all these years (touch wood), not a single part has been repaired or replaced.

Our 2nd fridge, which is a 10 year old double door Godrej, needs a technician visit every year or every 2 year😵‍💫

They don't make appliances like this anymore.

Handmade full grain leather belt from Novelty Atelier, truly BIFL!

Recently purchased the handmade leather belt from Novelty Atelier (u/NOVELTY_ATELIER_) and I found it to be truly impressive that I couldn't help but write a review.

The belt strap is nice and thick (nearly 4mm) full grain imported vegetable tanned leather, which has great in hand feel and gives a very elegant yet sturdy feel for both casual as well as business casual attires.

The 35mm width of belt makes it very versatile for everyday wear. The buckle is solid stainless steel with a roller so as to accommodate easy manipulation of the thick belt strap. The stitching, edge burnishing and finishing is top notch that it's well worth the Rs.2500 paid.

As it's a single strap of leather wrapped and stitched around a stainless steel buckle, I really feel that this is going to last decades provided proper conditioning is given to the leather once a year.

Would totally recommend this one!

THE CLASSIC CARHARTT DETROIT!!!,

I was in love with this jacket as it became a worldwide tried, like interstellar, was noticed in a ton of Hollywood movies and worn by celebrities and movie stars all across the world, this carhartt Detroit has been a sensation, I got as a gift by my uncle recently, but have issue in size. Mrp is around 62k in india and sells for around 31k on Amazon and other sites while on discount. Willing to give this for 12k ( which I think is a great pricing as even 2nd hand worn and torn goes for atleast 6-8k. I can negotiate very slightly if you’re a serious buyer… also this piece doesn’t even flick for decades. The older it gets, the better it looks. Dm!!!
