''Registering'' for the full gurantee
Discussion
What is it with so many sodding companies forcing you to register your appliance with them to be eligible for their guarantee. Having just had a full kitchen completed, I am now going through all the paperwork but for the bloody CDA, Panasonic & Neff appliances I need the damn serial numbers etc off them....that is obviously stamped to the back of the machines.... which are now all in built!!
I have already had to take the new Panasonic wall mounted TV off the wall to get the serial number off the back of it, and hunt around in the loft on the new boiler for th enumbers, for the for fridge freezer/oven and in built microwave I am unable to get to them.
All because bloody companies want my email address & the hope I forget to tick their box for the offers, deals & selling me to third parties.
I either dismantle half my appliances, or I take the gamble of no guarantee!

They cannot 'force' you and it's not necessary either. Keep your receipt and go to the supplying dealer if anything goes wrong. Goods should last unless you're told they will expire by a certain date; you are protected by consumer law and you don't need to register anything to enjoy that protection.Andehh said:

I agree with this but, our local builders merchants (big tool supplier) has had some Milwaukee drills returned within a year.Merchants got in contact with Milwaukee and they have flatly refused to even look at the drills as they weren't registered.

eu rules state 2 years guarantee at no extra cost.
Do "eu rules" apply in the UK, or indeed anywhere?http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/shopping/shop...

"But, after six months in most EU countries you also need to prove yourself that the defect already existed on receipt of the goods, for example, by showing that the defect is due to the poor quality of materials used."

Effectively impossible. Another EU triumph of idealism over reality."But, after six months in most EU countries you also need to prove yourself that the defect already existed on receipt of the goods, for example, by showing that the defect is due to the poor quality of materials used."
