I just found my george forman grill is not working...I checked how long Ive had it...1 year 3 weeks and 2 days... do manufacturers build self destruct switches into things just outside of warrantys ... clearly branding in this case means nothing....  |

you might still be covered if its out of warranty. Some legislation (cant remember which one) says that goods must last for a reasonable length of time, if they dont then the manufacturer has a duty to repair it (i think)
There is a good consumer rights website i used when dealing with HTC ater my phone broke just 6 months into my contract, cant remeber the name of it now  |

I shall send you some...Richmond painless sausages! X
p.s manufactures are usually quite nice and will give you a bit extra time if your product breaks.... You could always email Mr foreman himself threaten to punch his nose if he doesn't get it sorted  |

Clearly if you bought one of those shit-boxes and expected to last more than 9 months, you are a fool. The fact that you got 3 addt'l months out of it is pure upside. |

Mine is almost 5 years old now and, even after regular use, is still going strong.  |

The warranty on these things is usually twelve months for a reason. The golden phrase to use is "is it fit for purpose" give them the amount of times you use it in a week and see where it gets you. Which is good site for consumer rights. |
