I have 2 RCA products...a 32" tv and a stereo system...both in the past month have decided to blow the gasket! (I know gaskets aren't in them)

I bought both in August. Do they put crap in them now that they know will last just past the year warranty?

Some times i think this is true they do that to the new Plasma and Lcd tv's a tv with a built in timer to blow up after so many hours of use




Because the cost of getting them fixed is so high you might as well buy a new Tv


Scam what a rip off

YEP ..and they got another one at the warehouse they're waiting to sell you..thus the electronic cycle of life..would you like the extended warranty..will that be cash or charge...cha ching..

That's usually the case these days

well the cat's outta the bag now.

The warranty might be applied on a time-scale, anway.

Ten months pass on a one-year warranty means that it only pays out 20% of problems at that point.

Warranties are usually third place to "Buyer Beware" and "No Guarantee Implied". IMO

Some things aren't worth the regular or extended warranty because the shipping will be as much as a new product. A 21" monitor cost me $165 to return for warranty. You should always keep in mind the weight versus cost of a product.

Another product that I learned the hard way was a laser printer. Paid $149 for the printer and when I went to buy another toner cartridge, it was $149. I bought another printer for $149 that the toner cartridge was only $67 to replace.

Also, beware of Brother inkjet printers. They clean the printer head every so often and use a lot of ink doing this. I got 4 faxes over three months and it was out of ink. I pitched it for a different brand that doesn't use ink to clean itself.
