Hi JC,
This is Cole, the Director of Customer Experience at Hurom America.
I'm sorry to hear about the negative impact that our troubleshooting processes have had on your experience with your juicer. Please know, however, that there are valid reasons behind why we ask customers to "try things" before sending their juicers to our facility for repair.
Specifically, certain issues (parts not assembling, loud noises, and even a juicer not powering "on") can often be identified and resolved instantly by following these steps. Accordingly, our process is to try these steps (either via phone or via email) before sending the juicer to our repair facility - which can take up to 10 business days - in the interest of getting the juicer back up and running in "real time"!
I'm sorry that your juicer still had to be sent in after troubleshooting via phone/email failed. Please know, however, that our team will always be available to assist in the future, and we'll always do everything we can to get you back to juicing as quickly & efficiently as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to post, and thank you for being a part of the Hurom Family!
