I purchased a $200 coupon off the new eufy x10 pro Omni In January for a dollar I didnt get to use the coupon because my son was in a car accident and was put on a ventilator and broke his neck. After I dealt with that, I contacted them and they said that if I purchased it, they would refund the difference to make up for the $200 coupon They are now going back on that and I purchased it for full price!Initial Complaint

I purchased an Eufy Smart Traker Card through Amazon on February 25th, 2023. I've enjoyed using the card, but as of recently the battery powering the device, which cannot be replaced, stopped working. I followed all troubleshooting steps thorugh the Eufy website, and confirmed the battery was dead because Find My indicated that the device was last located a month ago when it had power. Eufy's website in the marketing materials for the product stated that the battery lasts 3 years. So I contacted Eufy support by email, and asked if there was anything the company could do given the product died about 33% into it's marketed life, much below and not being close to the advertising. **** stated there was no warranty that covered this situation despite their marketing materials saying 3 years of life, and the company's support team closed the chat. I know there's the warranty coverage of only one year, but I was hoping since the marketing and my experience didn't add up, if there was anything Anker could do to remedy the situation if this would be possible, and maybe perhaps some background information from the company on how the 3 year battery life figure was calculated and tested when devleoping the product, just so I can understand what decision the company would make in this case better as a consumer. Any help here would be appreicated. Attached is email correspondence from customer support, and an Amazon invoice as proof of purchase for the product. Thank you.Initial Complaint

Bought a eufy cam 2 pro that was advertised not to require the purchase of a home base. I used it for over a year just fine. One day it simply wouldn't connect. After looking into it I was told I now have to purchase a homebase for several hundred dollars or my device (my property) will no longer work. Not just their data storage services, the device will not function at all as a recording device on my own storage or connect to my network. I felt extorted but gave in and purchased a home base to keep my original product working. My cam was up and running again for a brief peeiod (a couple weeks) with the home base and suddenly stopped working altogether. Did the troubleshooting and the camera won't stay connected.I also purchased a doorbell and chime when I got the original camera. The doorbell camera shows half of the image in pink. I contacted customer support and was told every time it does that, I will have to unmount the camera and do a hard reset, then redo setup. It fixes the issue for about a day and goes right back to half pink. I got tired of doing this every day very fast. I reached out again and asked for them to send me one that just works right and was told no, just reset it every day.Initial Complaint

I am writing to file a complaint against Anker, regarding their product, the Anker 633 Magnetic Battery (*****). I received this battery pack as a gift from a family member last Christmas. Unfortunately, despite its promising performance, I have encountered a significant issue with the product.The battery pack, which is less than a year old, has suddenly stopped functioning properly. It fails to hold a charge as it did initially, rendering it essentially useless for its intended purpose. Given that the product is still under warranty, I attempted to seek assistance from Anker to resolve this issue.However, during this process, I discovered that the receipt for the purchase of this battery pack is on thermal paper, and over time, the ink has faded to the point of illegibility. Consequently, I am unable to provide Anker with the receipt as proof of purchase.Despite this setback, I provided Anker with all other relevant information, including the serial number ***************** and the model *************************** Magnetic Battery (*****)), in the hopes that they would honor the warranty and provide a replacement for the defective product. Unfortunately, I was met with refusal on their part to fulfill their obligations under the warranty.Additionally, it has come to my attention that Anker may also operate under the name Fantasia Trading LLC. While I am uncertain of the exact relationship between Anker and Fantasia Trading LLC, I believe it's important to mention this as it might be relevant to the handling of this complaint.I find this refusal to be unacceptable and contrary to fair business practices. As a consumer, I rely on warranties to protect me from faulty products and to ensure that I receive the value that I paid for. Anker's unwillingness to stand behind their product and fulfill their warranty obligations is not only frustrating but also unjust.Initial Complaint

I have had extensive discussions on multiple occasions regarding the defective X8 Hybrid robotic vacuum I was sold by Eufy. Each time, support was dismissive and made me feel like they did not care about the issue and desired only to get rid of me after expending the least amount of energy possible. Googling X8 Battery issue yields literally hundreds of complaints and posts that detail the issues that I, and thousands of others, dealt with. Instead of admitting their product was defective (which they did eventually do) they have created a gauntlet of useless customer support tiers to navigate to ensure you get as little money back as possible. Their customer support was horrible. They could not have cared less. Listened less. Or done less to address the very issue they admitted was due to a "Defective Product." It was clear to me that I was talking to someone who was not from the US and whom was primarily talking through chat GPT but using poor prompts.Initial Complaint

On 12/25/2023 I ordered a bundle of a F2600 backup battery along with a BP2600 expansion battery (****watt hour) and a solar panel - order number ***** On 12/28/2023 I received the items and found that I received an incorrect model for the expansion battery - an older version Model 760 with ****watt hour capacity instead of what was listed in the order.I've contacted Anker support ticket number: TNM821174606 and they are saying I was sent the wrong unit due to a mistake in their inventory system. However they're claiming the correct replacement item the BP2600 expansion battery is out of stock and are offering only a $50 refund or 2% of the order cost which is not close to the value of 25% lower capacity on an item that retails for $1500 on its own. The only other option is to return the entire shipment which is a couple hundred pounds and would be burdensome, no other option to re-order this holiday bundle for this price anywhere.I see the correct model in stock at other retailers who likely dropship from the vendor like Homedepot.com so it feels like this is misleading.I would like the option to wait for my order to be fulfilled correctly with the items listed, not have to either return the entire order which I no longer have all the shipping boxes for or except a tiny refund of $50 for their mistake.Customer response

I got an email back from Anker tonight that they have located the correct item in a warehouse and are going to accept an exchange. They sent a shipping return label and I'm going to drop the return in the mail tomorrow so maybe I'm all set now as far as the complaint.
Thank you
