Echou Glassware – eco friendly glassware for your summer drinks

My little son has started loving fresh juices and often asks me to make him fresh juice from different fruits. So I started making him juice and its a healthy habit. And I wanted to make the experience more pleasant. So I decided to buy these juice glasses. They are delicate and not kid friendly. But they are definitely eco friendly. Also the tight lid would not let kids spill the juice. The straw is also made of glass. I loved the packaging and the product. would definitely recommend all environment friendly people to go for it.

Big Basket Medchal Review

We have been regularly ordering online groceries from Big Basket for more than a year now. I was quiet satisfied with their service even though their prices are higher compared to the local grocery stores.

But off late I have decided not to continue with BigBasket as the service at their #medchal location has become drastically poor. These days whenever I select a slot and order items it never comes during that slot. And when I check my app to see what happened, I see message that the order is cancelled. Then I see another message order is placed for next slot. Then again the items do not arrive and there is no contact number or contact support option given. Then finally the orders either come at 12 in the night or again rescheduled for next day.

They always mention the reason the agent tried to contact you, he visited your place and you were not at home!! Then if I manage to somehow reach the customer service and tell them I did not get any call and I was at home, then their reaction is sorry for the inconvenience!!

#bigbasket had got the first mover advantage in #medchal but with such a pathetic service its definitely not going to make best use of it.

Havells Geyser with free installation from amazon

Hi friends,

Recently I wanted to buy a Geyser and was looking for all available options. My main concern was it is not easy to find plumbers near my place and hence I wanted free or paid installation from the brand. For most of the brands there was no installation provided. For some it was paid but again there was no guarantee it will be done. Some brands expected us to buy the accessories needed. I just needed one Geyser in fully working condition. Because first of all if we buy it and keep it and install it after a week, there is no guarantee it will work properly and the return window would be over.

So finally I felt Havells Geyser had most positive reviews and many people wrote installation was free. Also my neighbor had bought one and the geyser was working properly. So I purchase it from amazon and to my surprise everything went smoothly, the technician came next day he bought all the accessories needed and fitted the geyser in bathroom and waited for the water to get hot to give a proper demo. I am happy with my purchase.

e-bicycles – what is new?

You have all heard of e-scooters. My friend had a e-scooter called MOFA when we were in high school. You did not need license to ride that. But down point was its speed. And you cannot peddle it like cycle to make it go fast or for the purpose of exercising. Now we have e-bicycles which give the joy of riding bicycles and comfort of e-scooters.

Motivation and standing out

“Team Volton is a group of innovators who are committed to delivering products which strike a balance between style, utility, and safety. We are committed to breaking the practice of ‘cut, copy and paste’ prevalent in the electric cycle segment, where the focus has been on only the style quotient with the utility factor relegated to the background. Our motto is to make products which have a high utility quotient. The focus is to bring reliable, easily maintainable, stylish and utilitarian products at affordable prices,” explains Prashanta.
