原文:BUYERS, BEWARE! CUISINART'S "LIMITED WARRANTY' MAY BE LEGAL, BUT IT'S NEAR-FRAUDULENT!I bought this kettle in September, 2015 and it failed in December, 2015. The one-year warranty is USELESS. When I called for troubleshooting, they shipped me a replacement for the base. The replacement took alm
ost a month to arrive, and was dead on arrival. It may have been defective, but most likely, the kettle was at fault. When I called to request that they replace the kettle, I discovered that (1) I'd have to ship the kettle back to them first, and (2) I'd need to enclose an extra $15 payment to cover Cuisinart's return shipping expense for the replacement unit...because the kettle only has "a limited warranty." So (counting $15, plus my own packaging and shipping cost) I'm being to told to expend at least $30 in order to get a replacement for a unit I had for three months--a unit that has never been abused or mistreated in any way.This is a PREMIUM product. It should have a PREMIUM warranty policy--just ship me the replacement, place a hold on my credit card until I return the bad one in the replacement packaging, etc. And the manufacturer pays for shipping both ways. This is common practice for other high-end products (and most Amazon returns), and I think it's inexcusable that Cuisinart takes an approach that seems DESIGNED TO AVOID having to honor their warranty.The representative was polite and professional throughout, but could not allow me to speak to her supervisor "because of the heavy call volume."She gave me the runaround; it's not her fault, she's just doing her job. Like any employee, she has to carry out her employer's policy. But Cuisinart's policy in INEXCUSABLE; it's not worth paying to replace the unit, and I'm never buying any Cuisinart product again.DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT IF YOU EVER EXPECT TO NEED SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY!!

译文:买家请注意! CUISINART的“有限保修期”看起来是合法的,但它其实近乎欺诈!
我于2015年9月购买了这款水壶,2015年12月水壶坏了。一年保修期毫无用处。当我打电话进行沟通的时候,他们发给我一个新的底座。更换花了将近一个月的时间,而且换上以后水壶仍然没有用。它可能有缺陷,但最有可能的是,水壶有问题。当我打电话要求他们更换水壶时,我发现(1)我必须先将水壶送回给他们;(2)我需要付额外的15美元以支付Cuisinart的退货运输费......因为水壶只有“有限保修期”。所以(15美元加上我自己的包装和运输成本)我被告知需要花费至少30美元才能获得替换我的旧水壶 - 而且这个旧水壶并没有被不正确地使用。
这是一款PREMIUM产品。它应该有一个优质的保修政策 -比如卖家寄来我的替代品,在我寄回去的商品到达卖家地址之后,我的信用卡所消费的金额上才应该被释放,等等。制造商应支付双方运费。对于其他高端产品(以及大多数亚马逊的退货),这是很常见的做法,我认为Cuisinart就是设计了这种政策来避免“必须遵守其保修”,这是不可原谅的。
客服礼貌而专业,但由于呼叫量很大,她不允许我与主管谈话。
她回避了我;这不是她的错,她只是在做她的工作。像任何员工一样,她必须执行其雇主的命令。Cuisinart的政策是不可原谅的,为了收到替换品而付钱是不值得的,我不会再购买Cuisinart的任何产品。
如果您在保修期内预期需要维修,请勿购买本产品!
