Guarantee or Warranty

Hi snakequeen! I dont know much about guarantees, but i most definatly get a warranty on big ticket items. There was only one time that i had to use my warranty, and that was on a tv i bought last year. The audio went out on it after 2 months, and i had to return it to the store.

I don't bother with the warranty for small items. If the item just does not work from the beginning, I just take it back to the store where I purchased it and have always been refunded full purchase price. A large or expensive item is different. I will frequently even purchase an extended warranty. I did have to use the warranty on my car once when it quit on me about 250 miles from home. I just had the vehicle towed to the nearest Nissan garage, and it was repaired same day at very little expense to me.

No I haven't bought. They usually cost too much. And they don't really do us any good. I think for the most part they are a waste of money.

The difference is so small, but I'm more comfortable with a lifetime warranty than a guarantee. I guess if the guarantee is false, then I can always return the product to the store or to the company, but it's not like a warranty which spells 100% guaranteed. Am I making sense here? I'm sorry if I've confused anyone, I'm not exactly sure about the difference as well. But I'd rather buy products with a lifetime warranty. I've never returned anything yet though... because I think such products were really made to last.
