Bought a washing machine from South Coast Appliance on April 3, 2024. Wash machine broke down on 06/21/2024, called SCA and they said I had to contact Midea because it was under warranty. Contacted Midea and they wanted pictures, model number and proof of purchase. They received all the above, then they were saying I purchased a used product, which is not true. Then they needed to speak to SCA. SCA said they spoke with Midea on (07/09/2024). Then I phoned them again today (07/10/2024) and Midea was going to contact SCA today to verify that they are a business. Again told me it was going to be another 24 to 48 hours. This has been going on for 3 weeks now and I am not getting anywhere. My case number is ********* there phone number is ************. Please help me with this situation. Thank you

I purchased a Midea 8000 BTU U Shaped Air Conditioner in May 2022. It came with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. The unit worked well until it malfunctioned in June 2024 with an error code EH 03. I pleaded with the company to make some restitution as the unit stopped working within two years. That is not a very good track record of reliability since the unit is only used in the summer months between June - August. It is normal to expect the unit to last for a substantial number of years. My infirm brother and I had to endure some blistering heat in ******** in June 2024 without an AC. By highlighting my dilemma I hope they will rethink their position and redress this issue as a goodwill measure.

Hello *********,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the situation you've experienced with your AC unit. Based on the information you've provided, in conjunction with what we have in our system, the previous resolution provided to you is correct. The manufactures warranty starts on the original date the product was purchased and is not determined by the usage of the product. Regrettably, due to the fact that the product is outside of it's manufactures warranty, it would not qualify for any accommodation. We do apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused. Thank you for your time.

June 13, 2024. I ordered a window a/c with remote control via Wal-Mart on line. I was away when it arrived- I had an installer install it in a high area. Upon my return I could not locate the remote control & contacted this company for them to send me the missing remote. To my horror, it has NO remote and is not even programmed for a remote. This is fraudulent advertising. Midea ***** BTU 150 Sq ft Mechanical Window Air Conditioner, White, MAW05M1WWT Btu 5000 Coverage area 150 sq ft Volts 115 V Weight ***** lb Features Remote Controlled, Timer, Variable Speed Brand Midea It is already installed - packaging disposed of - the installer did not know there was supposed to be a remote (as advertised) so I cannot return it - I request for them to give me a one half of purchase price adjustment.

Eureka is guilty of what I would describe as false advertiseing or guilt by omission.In the manual for their vacuum cleaner,it clearly states product may cause cancer or birth defects.The issue is you don't realize this until after you have already purchased the vacuum.If I had known this info earllier I would most likely not purchased it.Not surprisingly,Eureka won't accept return.They need to make warning more visible.

Appliances like dehumidifiers have short lifespans. it appears to be a very common issue for all Brands. They often failed shortly after the 1 year warranty period which also occurs to mine. They sell any parts for repair. There are many similar complaints from *********** These companies care about profit over quality and the environment, keep creating these products lasting a year then end up in the landfield. All new appliances should have a mandatory warranty period of 3 years.

Hello *****,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the situation with the dehumidifier. We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestion regarding warranty for products such as this. Our warranty, like many other manufactures, are based on industry standards for the type of product that is manufactured. Regrettably, when a product malfunctions outside of the manufactures warranty there are limited, if any, available accommodations. We do apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused. Thank you again for your feedback and your time.

Midea makes it difficult, if not impossible, to receive warranty for a faulty product.I'm not alone. Looking up online, there are many reports of difficulty receiving Midea warranty.Midea and its representative named **************** told me that they can't assess the quality of my unit (!), then I sent written proof directly from Amazon that it was sold and shipped directly from Amazon.com to me, including item condition (New), my name and delivery address, order number, order date, price paid, etc. I also sent a photo of the label with serial number, etc.Still, this person keeps asking me to send an Invoice. That is not needed. I already sent proof directly from Amazon that I am the first and sole owner of the unit and Midea can call/chat/contact Amazon to confirm every information provided.Midea warranty terms state:IF YOU NEED SERVICE Keep your bill of sale, delivery slip, or some other appropriate payment Record.They should even accept a delivery slip. But Midea and this representative ****** S keeps denying warranty asking for more than needed to provide warranty.If not resolved then I'll have to send this to the Office of the Attorney General for their evaluation.I have sent a notification to Amazon (the seller) that Midea is not honoring warranty.I also sent notification to Good ***************** Underscored and NY Times Wirecutter, as they list this AC as a recommendation. They need to know that Midea does not honor warranty.I also left a 1 star review at Amazon.It is extremely hot this week, and this AC became a fan only. I've had to put a new AC as an emergency.

Complaint: 21882645

I am rejecting this response because:

Midea is severely poorly managed. No surprise engineering of the product also fails.
What happened is that after their initial reply to BBB, the same representative **************** finally acknowledged what I provided was valid for warranty, and forward a request for warranty processing.
Then, today, July 1st 2024, another representative named **************** started asking me FOR THE SAME THING AGAIN!. I forwarded the same letter from Amazon CONFIRMING the unit is new, that I am the first and sole owner, price paid, etc. This person replied again saying that they still need the same information.

PLEASE, if you are a customer, DON'T BUY **********************!

It looks like I'll have to send it to a regulator for Midea denying warranty, perhaps ************************ and/or Office of the Attorney General.
I'm also sending this to media outlets, hopefully they will publish this story.

Hello ****,
There appears to have been an internal miscommunication regarding your case that has been corrected. As stated previously, it has been verified with Amazon regarding the condition of the product and the original seller. Your unit is within warranty and this information has been updated in your case history in our system. Feel free to contact our support team and have them reference case number 112198586 regarding confirmation of the warranty. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused.

Is this a joke? Aren't you concerned that this gets published and it is going to be a shame for your company, your CEO?
I sent the reference number provided. Now the ticket returned to **************** and this person started asking FOR THE SAME DOCUMENTATION AGAIN.
I was very clear about the need of checking the reference number you provided. I said that you are on the brick of being sued, and asked this person to talk to a supervisor and be careful in replying again to me. What this person did? Replied to my message in a few minutes asking FOR THE SAME DOCUMENTATION AGAIN. As this is something funny or not serious enough.
At this point it is clear to me that you have employees (not sure if you are involved, I'm now assuming your are) that are just playing with this situation. A judge needs to see this, as well be published in the media.

I just can't believe my eyes, that a company of this size would just be a joke like that.

You are severely broken and disfunctional.

As stated I'm filing a small claims court on Monday in the amount of $10,000 as damages for the stress and for this lack of professionalism, and wasting my time. I'm reporting this to the Office of the Attorney General and I'm sending this to New ********** and other media for a news article.

I am a facilities manager for a small public school in ********. We purchased air conditioning units from Midea to cool our students and staff due to a shut down of air handlers due to air quality. A unit that is just over a year old leaked refrigerant and needs to be replaced. When I called to warranty the unit they denied our claim and said they don't cover schools. I checked warranty and we do not fall under the criteria of commercial, business, or rental property. We are a residential consumer. Midea refuses to act on a poorly manufactured item. They refuse to honor warranty for a public school that does not have much funding. I just want our unit to be exchange or fixed under warranty so our students and staff have a comfortable environment to teach and learn.

This is a complaint against Midea, parent company of Eureka *************** I am the owner of Gorilla Cleaning and ******************* based in ************* and over the past 3 years I have purchased at least a dozen Eureka Mighty Mite vacuums for use by my workers. Sadly, the connector wands are no longer made with quality as they are now made of thin, light gauge plastic that is very flimsy and has this poor quality has caused injury to the wrists and hands of several of my workers due to the connector wands bending, flexing and or snapping apart. On 6/11/24 my office manager ************************* spoke with ******* from Eureka **************** and ******* did confirm that the company has received many complaints about the poor quality of the connector wands. I am requesting that the company advise me as to what corrective action the company is taking to correct this defect in quality and I remind the company that complaints such could lead to legal action against the company.

Thank you for contacting us regarding the situation you've experienced with you're vacuum.

Our products are put through vigorous testing to insure a quality product is released to market but all products fail at some point depending on how it's being utilized. Please keep in mind that our product is designed for standard consumer usage. Utilizing the product in a commercial setting or for a business could cause the product to malfunction due to the increased usage which would be above the standard home use.

I am rejecting this response because: The product is being used to vacuum hardwood floors and area rugs in apartments and is not being used heavily. I will gladly demonstrate to Midea how the connector wands are cheap and flimsy and fail causing damage to a users wrist. Midea should be mindful not to make assumptions that are baseless as I will not hesitate to pursue the matter is the legal arena. I ASSERT THAT MIDEA HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY MADE AWARE OF THE CONNECTOR WANDS BEING CHEAP AND FLIMSY BY NUMEROUS OTHER CONSUMERS AND HAS BLATANTLY FAILED TO CORRECT THE PRODUCT DEFECT AND INSTEAD MIDEA CHOOSES TO MAKE BASELESS ASSUMPTIONS AND EXCUSES FOR ITS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

On May 30, 2024 a Eureka cordless stick vacuum was delivered to me by way of walmart.com. Upon trying to assemble the vacuum I found that the charger was missing.I contacted Eureka and was told that the part was out of stock and would not be available for 60 days. Making my $134.99 purchase totally useless. I have contacted Eureka on 3 occasions and have gotten no help. They told me they have a charger on order for me but again, I can't use the product for 60 days, even though I have paid for it in full.I feel that they have intentionally sent out vacuums without the charger rather than back order the whole thing and lost sales, I feel that this is all their fault and that I should receive a full $134.99 refund from them or a cordless stick vacuum of equal or greater value at no cost to me.It just feels like my money went out the window when I could have bought any brand of vacuum and been using it for the past 10 days.

Hello ******,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the situation you're experiencing with your vacuum. Based on the information you've provided, in conjunction with what we have on file, the resolution provided to you previously would be the fastest course of action. It is unfortunate that the part is missing but the resolutions are to either wait for the part to become available, at which time it can be sent to you, or to contact ******* directly and see what available resolution options they may have for you which would be the fastest course of action. Regrettably, we would not be able to ***** your request for an exchange or a refund at this time. If you would like you can contact our customer support department again and provide them with a copy of the original purchase receipt and images of both the product and all sides of its original packaging for additional accommodation considerations due to the parts extended availability time. We do apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused. Thank you for your time.

Their position has not changed. I still am looking at a $134.95 vacuum that I cannot use due to incompetence on their part. I feel that just to sell a vacuum and make a sale, it was sent out without a necessary part.
This is likely not to resolve and therefore should go down in the BBB records as an unsettled matter.
I can only hope other poor consumers like myself find this complaint and purchase their items from a company that does not intend to take their money and not provide a useable product.

Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
