Experiences with Devialet product build quality and warranty

[iamwappie]

Here in the Netherlands there is something we call consumer rights. All warranties are two years (European policy) and often shops try to sell additional warranty insurances but because of consumer rights the vendor is obligated to reduce repair cost by a ration of expected product lifetime. Often when a consumer does not ask for this of course it is not mentioned but I succesfully used this argument several times.

So e.g. a washing machine has a life expectancy of 12 years and it breaks down after 5 years, warranty period is over. Actual repair costs which normally would be €200 are now reduced to ratio (probably non linear but for example €200*5/12.

Don't know if such thing even exists outside Europe as well but maybe worth to check. Heck, Devialet = France so give it a try
