The starter battery failed on our Excel…

The starter battery failed on our Excel Power XL11000V 8KW in under a year with little to no residential use as a back up. It was sitting on a maintenance charger for most of the time but none the less still failed. Impossible to charge with intelligent or “dumb” charger.
The CS advisor noted the battery was excluded (along with pretty much everything else in their “catch all” warranty) which probably wouldn’t pass statute law under 6 months but in my case the failure occurred after this point in time. Totally intransigent and unhelpful. The failure happened in under a year and they should have been willing to replace.

Reply from Hampshire Generators

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review - obviously we don't like seeing a 1 star review so we have checked this out.

We can see that you have had the generator for over a year (purchased on the 11/11/2022) but it is still within the warranty period for this machine.

We can also see that we offered to look at this for you and check the warranty claim but you refused to let us collect it or drop it back into us. This is surprising as you are quite local to us.

This review is inaccurate and not a reflection on the service we provided.

These guys are the real deal.

Great company ....called for some advice pre-purchase and the staff member was excellent. Ordered my Jackery Explorer 1000 which arrived in perfect condition, earlier than expected. Always good to under promise and over deliver. Thanks guys, great job. Keep it up. Loads of companies sell the same product, but what separates the wheat from the chaff is customer service. This company understands that. First class!

Didn’t want my business

Bought an eco flow power pack , reasonable price ,they took money then radio silence. Honestly thought this was a scam company as it was so disorganized. Website said 5-7 delivery but no sign of anything and no email follow up explanation
First email I sent ignored , spoke on telephone to disinterested staff who explained it “might” come next week.. second email I sent, wow they replied ! similar vague reply . No sign of product or even that it has been dispatched after seven days so requested a refund and bought elsewhere for seventy quid cheaper and tracked delivery. Strange company - obviously didn’t want my £700+ 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the review - we worry when we get a 1 star review so needed to check this out. Obviously as the most highly reviewed and established company in this market we are not a scam and aim to provide the best possible service.

Our website showed a 5 to 7 day despatch time and you received a confirmation email when you ordered it.

You called on day 7 and were told the unit would be despatched that day but you insisted we cancel your order - which we did and refunded your money immediately.

Not sure why the harsh review but I guess that's the way it is nowadays!

Professionally and courtesy

Recently I have purchased several items from Hampshire Generators which includes cables, solar panel and 2 x Generators, usually direct but once through Ebay.

Each and every time I have experienced fast delivery, good, professional communication either by phone or messaging and prices on par with the industry standard or cheaper.

My personal opinion on Hampshire Generators is that this company has shown consistently how to operate professionally and with courtesy.

the never ending story

I thought it would be a simple warranty replacement or refund but instead, it has been lots of emails and 'out of our hands' issues. From known faults with no recall, missed emails, supplier barcodes being corrupt, (which again was a known issue but they sent them out to try anyway?) someone leaving the company and their cases not being passed on, packages not being delivered to manufacture so technically they are out of warranty as they have been waiting for months, emails not responded to for weeks and now just waiting for someone to get back from holiday as they investigate why they didn't see email attachments that they said they saw . - super boring to deal with with no empathy for the customer and a lot of blaming everyone else. I think what must be happening is that the people on the after sales team don't have authority to say when enough is enough, we should probably just give this customer a credit note and let them get on with it. Instead I am here waiting fro the fourth person to start looking into it to get back from holiday who is apparently the operations manager......the mundane story continues. I don't even want the generator now as it was unreliable and cost me sales when I took it out on markets.

Best Service Possible

This is the second generator I've bought from Hampshire Generators, the service and delivery for both orders was excellent.
A real pleasure to deal with a knowledgeable, friendly and efficient team. Highly recommended

Fast delivery

When shopping for Ecoflow products HG prices are in line with other retailers. This means you don’t feel you are paying a premium for their impressive delivery times. When buying online delivery times vary greatly. I’m far from impressed with the majority. When dealing with HG you get good clear advice and fast delivery. It’s almost like they are located next door.

Generator purchase

Before I ordered my generator I rang the office for advise and clarification which generator would best suit my requirements. The guy was most helpful and inspired me to make the right decision. On delivery I knew I'd made the right choice. It's been tried and tested since and it does exactly as respected. I thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you
