Has anyone used the repair/replace option with Devialet? - BulldogsRus - 08-Jul-2020
I've been quoted $1690 + sh to have my out of warranty Gold replaced and wanted to get feedback from those that have done this. Was it a mint refurb unit or a brand new one? If so, do they give you the latest and greatest or a swap for whatever model version yours was?
And does anyone know how long you have to take advantage of it, does the replacement offer expire after a certain amount of time?

For my knowledge, what was the problem that lead for the replacement/quote?

I had one of my two Golds replaced under warranty, and they did a nice job with it. They sent me a seemingly brand-new one with a serial number indicating recent manufacture. This was a couple years ago, so they might have changed their practice since then. They also sent me a box to return the old one, and it went very easily.

But even with the carrying case I'm always worried something would happen to it, and sure enough it did!(08-Jul-2020, 12:30)BulldogsRus Wrote: I've been quoted $1690 + sh to have my out of warranty Gold replaced and wanted to get feedback from those that have done this.

Yes they are a real PITA to move about, an integral handle would make life a lot easier.
