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

I would say that a warranty, if any depends on who is selling it. If they are a Lifeproof authorized retailer then you should be ok (a manufacturer generally has a spot on their website to find their authorized retailers). Otherwise I'd look into the seller's info and see what you can find out. A quick email might be the best way to find out about warranty info from a third party seller.

I have no idea. I rarely pay attention to warranties and I never read them. In my experience, if something is going to break it will do it within the first few days. If that happens with these, and it has not, I'd just return them via Amazon.

Not really Amazon's fault passed the 30 day grace period. Just take it up with BlueAnt. I'm sure they will honor the warranty

I will be buying a warranty from Squaretrade. You can get a 3 year through Amazon for around $80 (discounted from $109), but if you go to the squaretrade website, you can add a 4th year (3 plus the manufacturers) for another $40, for a total of $149. Not too bad for a 4 year warranty. Several hundred less than my retailer wanted to charge.

The company claims to offer a 5 year warranty but when I tried signing up following the instructions the page didn't exist. I tried from different computers and nothing. So I guess we are not covered.

I think the warranty is threw amazon. This is the second one I bought in 3 years because I ripped the first one.

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.

There is a 1 year manufacturers warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee. So far mine is working just fine. Haven't found enough info myself on returned items to see how people are treated. Usually if you buy through Amazon, there isn't an issue. Also if you purchase with a credit card you sometimes have an additional automatic warranty. Just some thoughts.

I checked on line w Amazon and the text said there was no longer a warranty. I did not try to contact the provider. Let me know if you get any positive response please.

I don't know what you are buying, but the warranty cost is usually related to the cost of the item and the number of warranted years. So, if you are getting a Square Trade warranty through Amazon, and it is specific to the cost of the item you are buying, for the number of years you want the warranty for, then I assume you are good to go, and Amazon is just offering a better deal.

I do not know why Amazon has this linked to me as seller, I am a buyer just like you. But, I would guess monster has some type of warranty.

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.

I thought I read on the Waring website the warrenty was 5 years. I checked numerous sites before buying the item. I would contact Waring and ask them directly what they offer.

The current warranty is three years. That is still three times longer than most.

The warranty is 5 years IF you buy the machine directly from Longevity. If purchased from any other vendor the warranty is only one year. Very strange policy in my opinion. If I had known this I would have bought from Longevity directly but this was not clearly disclosed by the vendor. I would call Longevity and have them clarify before purchase, you may have to spend a little bit more for shipping buying from them but the extra warranty will be worth it. Buyer beware!
