warranty discrepancy - 3y VS. 5y: How come Amazon says 3 years only - and what is the true warranty for these?

WD's website is the correct one @ 5 yrs. I purchased two caviar black 1TB drives a little over a week ago, and the warranty check on WD's website shows both are valid until 12/24/2014

The other answer states that you can't read the warranty prior to purchasing is not correct. The first link under Product Details is a PDF of the terms, and it is fairly detailed. Of course, it is written by lawyer-ish types, so it's not fabulously clear.

I believe that a warranty is available at purchase through amazon but they don't come with one. Most likely because these are refurbs. Hope that sets you straight.

Sue you asked about a 1yr vs 5yr Dyson warranty. I suggest you call them, here is a link that should help you. Hope this helps. Michael http://www.dyson.com/support/warranty.aspx

The paperwork in the box says three years, and there is no asterisk or even smaller print that says it only applies if purchased through Dell direct. What I really find curious is how some reviews state the warranty is only one year, yet this particular monitor, the 3014, has not been available for a year, so how would anyone know they're only honoring the first year of warranty?

Hopefully Amazon will honor it since the "Warranty Card" included with the manual is a poorly-written and ill-formatted translation that offers no contact or return information. However, it does specify in vague terms that the warranty is only valid for one year from the date of purchase and covers manufacturer defects only (at their own discretion). The 24 month claim must originate elsewhere. I'm assuming, given its price and lack of instructions, that I'm on my own to fix it and/or replace it regardless of when or how it fails. If Amazon honors the warranty, I'll consider it an unexpected bonus.

I'm not 100% sure, but since it is advertised as such through Amazon and since Amazon is listed on Dyson's website as a retailer and isn't making unauthorized discounts, it seems that the 5 year warranty would apply.

According to Technodeals, the company which is actually selling and shipping the drives, these are "bulk pulls" and classified as "New - other". They provide a 3 yr warranty and 30 days for returns. I don't believe WD provides any warranty for these drives. If WD was providing any type of warranty I would think Amazon would have listed it somewhere on the product page but there is absolutely no mention of any warranty with the exception of the $6.40, 2-year warranty offered by a third party. Look by the "Add to Cart" button on the top of the page. I've used a number of these drives, all "bulk pulled" and have never experienced any issue. Hope this helps and does not confuse the issue.

Mine are relatively new (Volvo set & Prius set). I agree, 3 yrs is a little skimpy. For the price, the should have a longer warranty.

They have an excellent warranty, but you have to contact RHA, not Amazon. Go to the RHA website.

Your right, Amazon doesn't say anything on that but I've talked to the Lenovo people and they did say there is a one-year warranty which I've had to take advantage and those repairs have a 90 day warrant. Sounds nice but if even the repairs don't fix the problem a life-long warranty is still useless.

I read over the owners manual 3 times, and nowhere on there did it state anything about any warranty. I bought 3 different sizes. I haven't used them a lot, but so far I haven't had any issues at all.

In my case it was 1 year, but I think that depends on the country bought. I'm sure that Amazon.de or Amazon.es will have a 2 year warranty. And of course a different price!

I saw on Future Shop's website that certain models have a 2-year warranty, but right on the box in their store it said 5 year warranty. Must be a misprint.

If you get them somewhere like Loews, I think the warranty would be easy and De Walt Does say 3 year warranty on the pkg... not sure how a claim would go through Amazon.

I have been looking through lots of reviews and through their policy, and it seems like you can't. Amazon warranty is for amazon products. I think you've got to buy it directly through their website. It'd be rad if they actually write that down somewhere obvious.

I believe the answer is ... (1) the first 30 days from purchase, Amazon warrants any product it sells (Note: Amazon 3rd Party Suppliers and Warehouse have their own specific policies), (2) the Manufacturer after 30 days for 3 years from the date & proof of purchase, and (3) if you purchased a separate 3rd-party extended warranty, it would then be operative for the length of time you paid for after the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty.
