did anyone else spot this caveat? Is it true?

 

[HughF]

Yes, well known. Must register for the 5 year then send it in for a service every year for it to be validated.

Looks like a nice machine !

paying for the FREE industry beating 5 year warranty then

R-tech, parweld, thermal arc and jasic all seem to be around the same money for similar machines. How do they stack up against each other ?

They are all roughly equal.the jasic has no reliability record as such yet (cept for the cr*! old one they have) so the 5 year warranty is the only thing that got their foot in the door this time round

They're not exactly "hidden" when it's right there in the terms :P
Most warranties require some sort of registration and service, the service is usually quite cheap and is completely worth the validation of warranty / peace of mind.

hi tom
i see you have a link to a suppliers under your avatar.do you sell jasic welders?
or do you sell any other welders by manufacturers that say it must be serviced every year?
thanks

Can you show me where it says warranty void if you dont get it serviced every year,seeing as you are good at copy/pasting

 

[HughF]

A prerequisite for the full warranty is that products are operated in accordance with the operating instructions supplied, observing the relevant installation and any legal requirements recommendations and guidelines and carrying out annual maintenance work and testing. It is recommended this be carried out by Wilkinson Star Limited, an authorized service partner or a suitably qualified competent person.

Indeed I do work for a supplier, I sell plenty of Jasics and make it very clear that it must be registered and serviced for the 5 year warranty to be valid.
I think the only warranty I know that doesn't need to be services every year is the Oxford MIG's and the new Parweld "no quibble" warranty.

All other warranties that I have ever read have contained some sort of maintenance or service clause which is entirely understandable in my opinion.

@ewmIreland bought one 2 years ago and wondering why it's now out of warranty by chance?

....it is recommended that this be carried out by........kind of misleading.it would be clearer if they the words warranty and void fairly close?
Does a lightly used tig welder automatically require testing and maintenance every year by a sqp?i think it would be no harm,but a warranty voiding pweweckwisite?did i spell that right hugh?

 

[HughF]

Not my terms, if you have a problem with it, don't buy it. Simple...

Did you not read post #6

 

[HughF]

Did you not read post #6

Yep, but you talk in tongues so it wasn't clear. I understand that what swayed your company to purchase one was the 5 year warranty. You had one before and it was junk.

 

[ewmIreland]

My problem,well its not mine really,more so those who didnt fully understand the t&c's like the chap in the link,is maybe the traders selling these welders should have an asterisk next to this industry best five year warranty,as its hardly an industry standard to need a yearly service to not void it

 

[HughF]

The big poster at my welding suppliers that sell Jasic has just that, a big asterisk next to the warranty bit.
