Well I was looking at Jaguar cars which cost £35K plus and their warre nty is 3 years. I'd want as bit more than a 3 year warrenty if I was spending £35k
So what is jaguar and almost every car manufacter doing ? It's similar with phones and most products.
But you realy have to know what these warrenties and guarenties actually me an.

Jaguar cars have far more moving parts than any cordless appliance. They can be driven at up to 150 on German Roads; they can be driven in all sorts of weather conditions, ice, snow, tropical heat, over all sorts of roads from tarmac to mountain tracks and may be driven by idiots.
In other words about the only thing Dyson appliances and Jagaur cars have in common is the last bit. Both can be bought and used by idiots

So what is the running time on one charge? Although it wouldn't need to be as long as for an upright.

Lidl offer a 3 year money back warranty on things costing a lot less than
35k. ;-)
It's quite simple. If Dyson wants to hype sales of his cordless cleaners by saying the batteries should last 15 years, why not put his money where his mouth is?
Rather like those who are so convinced the country will do well post leaving the EU. Care to take a bet on it?

arrenty is 3 years.
Doesn't make any differnce to me. I don't count the moving parts in order t o decide somethings worth.
and after these 3 years is the jag battery as worthless as the dyson ?
car batteries only last about 4-5 years but the dyson 11 years is that too down to the number of moving parts ?

So.
So why warrenty them then ?
When a friend drove her 3 month old Saab convertable through a deep puddle at speed, the engine stopped, cost £15k to replace, wasn't under warre nty for such a thimng and I dounbt dyson will have sucking up water under t heir warrenty either.
Warrenties are an indication of how long you can expect the product to last giving it the care and attention stated in the intructions as a minium and that's pretty much all it means.

Yes and I bet they don't count the moving parts either. I bet they don;t suggest you throw the battery out after 3 years either any more than dyson do.
Same reason car makers don't or LED bulbs give you your money back if they don't last to cliamed 15K-50k hours. Don't tell me it's down to moving parts.
That would depend on what you mean by doing well.

So how come some other manufacturers can produce a much cheaper car with a 7 year warranty?

Maybe if you produce what's seen as a cheap car, you have to provide a longer warranty to convince buyers you aren't producing cheap, but unreliable, cars?

Some makers offer a longer warranty to shift the product. But never having bought a new car, don't know what restrictions there are on these long warranties. For example, what is classed as normal wear and tear.

Auto makers are smart (read NOT dumb) they do define what is covered; not normal wear outs such as tyres......

Dysons aren't warrantied for this sort of use not sure if henrys are. I suggest yuo read warranties.
Read the warranty to find out. Have you not listened to any of the car ads especailly the radio ones.
7 years or 100,000 miles the paint warrenty is only 5 years and the radio W . is for 3 years. My mac mini standard warranty 1 year but I got applecare for 3 years and th is mac mini was still working last night it's a mid 2010 model so that's ne arly 8 years now. I've never had to re-install the OS from scratch or do an y sort of repairs on it software or hardware.
