Most washing machine hose producers are, with good reason, predictably silent or evasive when the subject of guarantees and warrantees arises. Many don’t have warranties and those that do, have limited warrantees of little or no value. What good is a warranty to a consumer? Not much.
Recently, a homeowner suffered some $25,000 in property damage caused by a burst washing machine inlet hose. They have a $1,000.00 deductible on their homeowner’s policy, and it’s going to take weeks or months to repair their property. A leading manufacturer of steel braided hoses warranty implies that if that owner spends an hour or two of their time packaging the defective hose (they do indeed burst), drives to the post office and spends $5.00 in postage, They will replace that $14.00 hose at no charge. How very comforting. I had occasion to speak with their marketing manager who confirmed this. When I asked him about his company paying for the property damage his product caused, he said that anything more than replacing the product, the matter would have to be pursued legally. Their label should read : “If our product fails, SUE US.” So much for warranties.
