With Contour going out of business, will warranties still be honored? I want to buy one, but the news of Contour going bankrupt, I am concerned.

I just chatted with an operator on the Bellapulse website. She said that in a few weeks, they will be offering the option to order replacement brush heads. So if they do, maybe Amazon will offer them too. Hope this helps.

Wow, I did not know about the warranty. Bummer. Mine stopped working too, so for $16 I bought another one... I can't live without it. I have 2. I noticed the price increase from $11.

Quite frankly, I don't know. I pay little attention to warranties, etc. It is my opinion they are, and always have been, a sales gimmick. Remember Chrysler's 10 year 100K warranty when their sales dropped to nothing? Also, most have so many "limitations" they are essentially useless! Of course that's just my opinion.

Good question. It says no proof of purchase warranty, if lighter needs parts for repair they will cover if its within 5 years, but with no proof how will they know how old it is. No proof for discontinued models...No word of how much they will charge for shipping tho, usually this charge will be unreasonably close to purchase price of lighter when new. Sad, but eventhe most expensive butane torches will not last long...Cheers!

If you buy an extended warranty (CR does not recommend) but it cheaper and B&H; camera. B&H; stands behind their warrenties. Better yet, don't buy one at all. Many credit cards double the length of your purchase for no charge at all.

I normally don't recommend purchasing an extended warranty and don't buy them myself BUT...if you are buying a computer or any other expensive item from Amazon I feel you should buy the best extended warranty you can. I did not do that on the last computer I bought from Amazon and I now regret it. it was a name brand computer that I had excellent results with in the past. Even a good company can sell an occasional lemon.

You really need to research the company you buy the warranty from. I bought a warranty on my laptop from CC and it paid for itself. I also bought a warranty from magnolia for my GPS unit and it too more than paid for itself. But if the company offering the warranty isn't legit or buries you in fine print then it's buyer beware...

I have been a fan of Brinkman for over 20 yrs. But their customer service is just non existent now. I wouldn't depend on any of their products any longer. My last car charger stopped working after a month back in January. I've never been able to reach them nor have they responded to direct emails or facebook posts. Think about another brand.

I've never bought an extended warranty. If the product is that bad, extended warranties would either be very expensive, or not available ... they are NOT going to lose money on them. Figuring the store selling the warranty takes its 50 percent cut, then that leaves only 50 percent for the warranty company (either a 3rd party or the manufacturer) ... and again, they wouldn't do it if they lost money. If you're worried and need the extension to sleep at night, fine. But the companies are betting that they will pay out less in claims than they take in through warranty sales ... and they have their own research to back up their business plan. Certainly some products might prove a good deal to have that extension, but which ones? You'd have to buy a warranty on every product you buy ... and you would most definitely lose out overall. In my case, from cars to VCRs, I would never have made out with an extended warranty. And remember, many credit card companies already double the warranty anyway.

Great Question :) So it comes with the Prolux Factory warranty and we are a authorized warranty service center for them. We stock thousands of parts and its very easy to do :) This is a high end vacuum (vacuums of this quality like Sebo or Miele normally sell for around 700) so the odds of you having any warranty issues are very slim. However in the rare case that you do just contact our service department at service@greatvacs.com and we will get you all taken care of. Also most of the parts are standard vacuum parts that your local service center can order for you as well. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs

If buying online, you will never get any warranty, or any rebuild plan. If it were to break, you would have to find a vacuum shop that is willing to fix it and these are not cheap to fix, for a lifetime plan, it will save you more money to buy straight from the Manufacturer. Look up your local kirby distributor to do this. Hope this helped!

I know there's issues of fakes being out there but it seems that if Amazon is going to market these on their websites-- no matter the price--they should assume responsibility for losses of this nature through some kind of seller agreement. I'm an idealist though. If mine breaks and I don't get it replaced, Amazon will lose my business. And I'm a great customer, even in the age of ebay.

So I was about to buy this laptop, but I'm going to wait to see what happens. Could you guys tell me if this happened mainly because they were moving locations ( no fax at that location as Schwartz said), or because they are simply not giving warranties. I highly doubt that they won't offer a warranty for the laptops, but I just want to be sure.

I'm just trying to find my husband a descent shaver. Can anyone suggest a good one? It doesnt have to be anything really great. Just something reliable that will hold up and do the job for a few years.

The best way to determine if a product's extended warranty is a needed is to contact the company that issues/backs up the extended warranty. Two questions, if answered, should tell the tale: 1. How many extended warranties have been issued for this item and how many of those warranty purchasers have made claims on the warranty. 2. Another question might be to ask for the percentage of claims on the item's warranties. Number one is my usual choice. I contacted Schwinn/Nautilus last week and asked them how many units have had claims during original warranty period (another indicator whether or not an extended warranty might be cost effective) and how many of those claims were customer caused and how many were manufacturing defects/shipping related. They refuse to answer that question because they consider it to be proprietary. If they are that ashamed of their product's track record, there must really be something wrong with it. They don't hesitate list positive testimonials, so why don't they tell the whole story when asked? Another problem faced by extended warranties is getting the service you paid for if the product breaks. Many extended warranty providers will not touch it until the manufacturer's warranty expires, and the manufacturer won't touch it if you purchased an extended warranty. Please, PLEASE read both before buying the extended. Final comment....if it is a good product, it probably doesn't need an extended warranty. If it's a shabby product it will probably break during manufacturer's warranty period. Be an educated consumer, read the materials, ask questions. If either company refuses to answer questions stay away from both!
