that's even better if he's a member so he can give his side. giving the name of the store would benefit everyone to be cautious when buying there.
Anyway, here's my thought on warranties. I would rather not bother with them. My experience has always been disappointing when it comes to warranties. They can always invoke that warranty clause about problems not being covered due to misuse or abuse. You can dispute but its a waste of time because their word and judgement that you abused or misused the item is final. It all depends on the dealer. If you have a customer-centric one, you're lucky. We do not have enough consumer protection laws nor the teeth to implement any. Unlike in the US, Canada and UK where consumers are well protected. Customers don't even have to keep receipts. The proof of purchase rests on the dealer,that's why every retailer has a computer database to know who bought what and when just based on the item serial number. So the customer only needs to present the item for exchange, refund or repair. No questions asked. In this country, a customer presenting an item for return is looked down as an opportunist suspected of putting one over the store. And you're lucky if you get the service at all. Ofcourse there are exceptions.
In the US, warranties for many products like electrical and electronic items are actually optional. You can purchase an item at really bargain price without one. And ofcourse you can always buy warranties for additional costs, extended or regular. Manufacturers want that because it's like getting a prepaid service. For reliable names, you rarely would need them.
But if you are buying there and bringing the appliance here, those warranties are useless. They are seldom if ever honored by the brand's local office, if there's one. Not even so-called international warranties. Good luck though.
