Warranties are a seller’s promise to stand by its products. Most major purchases like computers or cars come with a warranty, as do smaller purchases, like stereos or other electronic housewares. Warranties are not required by law, but are frequently found on most products. If you are making a purchase, you should consider the individual characteristics of a warranty, as each can vary in the amount of coverage it provides. At the minimum, warranties are required to provide what the product implies that it will do; for example, that a blender will blend or a hair dryer will dry hair. Most warranties are good for a fixed time, then they _______. You can protect yourself by buying products from companies with good reputation and taking good care of your new purchase. There are consequences to not taking care of a product as most warranties require that you use the product in a certain manner.
