The warranty of a product generally indicates how confident a manufacturer is in the quality of their product. Just as in all fields, this is also the case in the vacuum cleaner industry. It allows companies to express faith in their machines and other components they spent time and effort perfecting. Make sure you are purchasing your vacuum cleaner from an authorized dealer, as most manufacturers do not honor warranties from non authorized dealers or auction sites.
Authorized dealers are typically contractually obligated to distribute manufacturer’s products through multiple sales channels which are approved by the manufacturer. Parts of the vacuum in question, as well as the attachments (such as the motorized power nozzle, hardwood floor brush, etc.) are covered under warranty, just as the motor of the machine is. Keeping a sharp eye out for authorized dealers that represent the customer-preferred brands helps assure consumers that the quality of the vacuum cleaner, or vacuum parts they are receiving will operate to the manufacturer specifications. This assurance can typically be found inside the box, in the owners booklet as well as on a registration card.
Dealers authorized by brands to distribute vacuum cleaners are generally also chosen to be warranty centers in order to better assist their customer base. These centers are scattered throughout the country in hopes of being as accessible to cleaning advocates as possible. Their purpose is to take in the vacuum parts in need of warranty service and help consumers replace the product, or products, through the manufacturer and maintain the performance of their vacuum cleaner for years to come.
