It all starts with a phone call from somebody asking about the air quality in Christchurch. The survey consists of simple questions answerable by a yes and no, which takes no more than a minute. I generally dismiss sales calls in the phone but since this is very quick, I went on with it.
After a week or so, you will receive a phone call requesting a product demo of an “air filtration unit” at your home. If you agree to it, you will receive a special “gift”, which for us is a glass coaster. Thinking the demo will be over 30 minutes’ tops, we agreed. In addition, an “air filtration unit” sounds like a cool product to check.
It is sad because this company feeds on the impulsiveness of people. They will sweeten the deal by “low” weekly payments where in fact the total price has ballooned so much because of the interest. They half-expect people to buy the product on that same day, when everybody should think twice or thrice when purchasing expensive items. Adding to the weird-o-meter scale is that they do not even have a website, or a proper calling card for that matter.

Was pressured by manager and boss to sell this rip off vaccum to family he did sell 3 after being promised $1700 f sold 3 systems .After 5wks without pay I pulled him out and all he got paid out of it all was $600 and him making them $15,000 it didn't seem fair $5,000 a system I hope no1 elses family gets hurt by these people we struggled through all this.December 19, 2016 at 12:29 PMIt saddens me to hear that my husband and i purchased 1 purely for our baby. She was born prem and spent over100 days in nicu waikato hospital. When she came home she was on a oxygen tank and continuos meds. 3 weeks later she ended up on life support gasping for air. We had already lost her twin i wasn't ready to lose her. Our rental was so cold and damp and you can smell the mould. We moved into the lounge. A few months later a yellow card was in our mailbox saying congratulations you have a special gift waiting for you all you have to do is phone and we will make a time to meet you. 2 days later Tiana Potaka came to my home and said we were going to have a party. She pulls out 3 big bags and i thought holy. Hour and a half into our meeting we were under her spell. We signed the form and purchased the xcalibur. We got the air purifier free and an additional 100$ deposit gave us a free terminator. That sounded sooo good. Healthier home for our kids especially our baby. A month later me and my husband went to the bank to get a loan. It was approved so we paid the vacuum off in full. Happy with the decision we made our family was going to breathe more healthy air. Not long after the belt on the terminator stuffed out so we rung tiana 2 weeks later she came took the part and we got it back 2 weeks after that. When I told her we paid it in full she was so happy for us we Haven't seen her again. We are having electrical problems with it now i rung the company over a month ago and the guy said if we pay 15$ a week for the rest of our lives we will get on going service for free. WELL THATS NOT FREE IS IT. He then organised to come to our house 2 days later and he still ain't been after 3 4 weeks. We have 7 children and we feel ripped off. How do we stop these people
