How long is the guarantee/warranty on electrical goods?

Answer 1

whatever it states on the warranty, but never waste your money on extended warranties. if you get a leaflet from your trading standards it will state 'warranties' could be up to 6 yrs, without buying an extension, under The Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994

Answer 2

It depends entirely on the manufacturer - the minimum is 12 months from new.

NAD offer 2 years as standard on their electronics.
Jamo offer 7 years as standard on their high-end speakers.
Rega offer a lifetime warranty on all their turntables.

The better quality the kit, the longer the standard warranty will be.

Answer 3

standard guarantee/warranty is 1 year from date of purchase, this is usually given with the option of extended cover, up to 5 years.
some manufacturers will offer different terms, some items will even come with a lifetime guarantee.....but the guarantee only usually covers 'normal useage' so if you decide to use a brand new cordless drill to knock a few nails in.......

remember though, you also have your statutory rights, but that is anothe rmatter.
