Trading with Purepower can be dangerous ... I bought a PurePower 1050 Black HS code 8504.40.90 on 11/16/2011, invoice # 739 for $1497. After 4 months, the unit stopped working : in fact the performances had never been by far those claimed by Purepower. After contacting the management Damian, I shipped back the unit (under warranty), received in Air on 04/24/2012. They told me that the maintenance should not last more than one or two months and that they would ship it back free of charges. In fact I have never got my unit back : I called them more than ten times ; they always say 'he unit leaves by USP today...', but nothing. Finally, I believe they are not capable of sorting out the problem and that this is a con. I would not at all recommend these products and the team who is not reliable.
Mine went back to Canada for service over two months ago and I'm getting the same run-around as well, except they haven't given me the "it's going out today" BS. They just won't tell me when it's coming back.
I *think* that the thread has been removed but just a few months ago member "Glory" had THE SAME issues with Purepower Canada. He was given a major run-around by the Canadians & had an overall hellish experience. I *think* that he eventually resolved his issue. Contact Glory offline to find out more. BTW, there is a Purepower in NY state as well & they seem to have all their ducks lined in a row.
I have a Purepower 1050 that I purchased new from Walter Liederman in Feb 2011. In Jan 2012 it had to go back to the factory/service center in Canada due to damage which was NOT their fault. The unit was repaired in a timely fashion and for a very reasonable cost. At the same time they also did a minor upgrade for free to bring it in-line with current production. I have been very happy with its performance and the service/communication I received from Damian. Was I lucky or are service issues a more recent development?
