The verdict
The Kent New Grand is a mainstream RO purifier for ₹13,499 with Kent’s TDS controller, a UV LED in its 7.5 L tank and a 20 L/hr rating, suitable for brackish, tap and municipal water. The catch is a 1-year warranty that excludes the plastic body, and no published input TDS limit, recovery figure or filter prices.
Best for
- Families on borewell, tanker or municipal water who want an RO from a large brand
- Buyers who want output TDS held at a set level rather than very low RO water
Skip it if
- You want two or more years of included service
- You want an app, a display or alkaline and copper stages
What we like
- RO, UF and TDS control (Kent’s “Mineral RO”) with a UV LED in the storage tank
- Kent rates it at 20 L/hr with a 7.5 L tank and a water-level indicator
- Same ₹13,499 price on kent.co.in and Flipkart, in stock on both when we checked
- Kent claims IS:10500 drinking-water compliance and NSF and ISI certifications
What we don’t
- Only a 1-year warranty; Flipkart’s terms exclude the plastic body
- Kent does not publish an input TDS limit, water recovery or filter prices for this model
- Flipkart’s 13,706 ratings are shared with the Kent Marvel listings, so the 4.4 average is a family score
- Retailer copy calls it “RO + UV + UF”, while Kent describes UV only inside the tank

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this purifier. We read Kent’s product page (Kent calls it “KENT Grand”, product code 111192), the Flipkart listing and its owner reviews on 12 November 2026. We could confirm the purification stack, tank, flow rate, power, warranty and price. Kent does not publish an input TDS limit, water recovery or filter prices for this model, and we have not measured output TDS or reject water.
What you get
Kent lists RO and UF purification with a TDS controller, plus a UV LED in the 7.5-litre tank that it says keeps stored water free of bacteria. The TDS controller blends some UF-treated water back in to retain minerals; Kent’s FAQ for its similar Supreme model describes the target as 100 to 150 ppm. It is rated at 20 L/hr and 60 W, has a water-level indicator, and comes in white or black.
Kent says it removes arsenic, rust, pesticides and fluorides to meet IS:10500 drinking water standards, and that its purifiers are certified by BIS and NSF. Those are manufacturer claims we have not tested.
Warranty and service
The warranty is 1 year. Flipkart’s summary says it covers manufacturing defects and that the plastic or glass body is not covered. You register the purifier through Kent’s service app or customer care. Kent does not publish a filter replacement price list on this page. If long, cheap ownership matters most, rivals that bundle two years of filters and service may cost less over time.
What owners report
Flipkart shows 4.4 stars from 13,706 ratings: 9,154 five-star and 867 one-star (about 6%). The same count appears on the Kent Marvel and Marvel Plus listings, and the review pool includes Marvel Plus variants, so this is a family score. Negative reviews mention an RO that stopped working two days after installation, excess noise (on a Marvel Plus variant) and an installer who would not fit an extra filter. Positive reviews on Kent’s site mention quick installation and good taste, and one owner says a pre-filter should be included in the box.
Should you buy it?
The New Grand is a sensible, no-frills RO from Kent with TDS control and in-tank UV at a fair price. The one-year warranty and missing running-cost data are the weak spots. Buy it if you value Kent’s TDS control and the price; look elsewhere if you want longer included cover. Our score is provisional until we test it.

Questions buyers ask
Is the Kent New Grand the same as the Kent Grand IoT?
No. The New Grand (Kent product code 111192) has a 7.5 L tank and no app. The Grand IoT is a separate, more expensive model with IoT monitoring. We have reviewed the Grand IoT separately.
Does the Kent New Grand have UV?
Kent describes a UV LED inside the storage tank to keep stored water free of bacteria, on top of RO and UF. Flipkart’s title calls it RO + UV + UF. Kent does not list a separate inline UV lamp.
What warranty does it have?
One year. Flipkart’s warranty summary says it covers manufacturing defects but not the plastic or glass body, and that you register the product through Kent’s service app or customer care.
Can it handle borewell water?
Kent says it suits brackish, tap and municipal water, which includes most borewell supplies, but it does not publish a maximum input TDS. Test your water if it is very hard or salty.
