I imagine most of you, like me, don’t. Just another datapoint.
But, I recently got a new jig for my table saw, and I saw this paper one. Is there any reason to register other than the warranty? Should I fill these out for my larger, more expensive tools?
I don’t fill those in because you just know they are going to use data for marketing.
Most places have laws that you don’t have to fill that out for warantee, as long as you have receipt when you bought it. It does make sense for product defects and them alerting you to fixes or software updates etc
I do for larger/expensive purchases. For example, I registered all our home appliances. I use a separate email for all warranty registrations.
sometimes for expensive things as you say.
Never. I give companies as little info as possible.
Never. Data privacy aside, I can’t be bothered to fill out yet another form or create yet another account just for one item I purchased. I also can’t remember the last time I had something break on me before the warranty expired.
So my printer can rat me out? Fuck no
I do not, because if my product brakes, I would spent more money traying to make the warranty valid, that and loss time. It’s such a useless procedure where you do a little work for the company for free (give them info directly), when people actually can earn money answering actual polls.
This is my experience as well. I have no faith in warranties or insurance. If it happens to have a warranty I’m willing to spend only a few minutes trying to redeem then I move on with my life. This led to me spending more time looking for high quality products and companies before purchases which is probably a good thing.
I want 0 spam in my life so I skip sharing info any chance I get. I don’t register anything and I’ve never had that be an issue getting warranty work/replacement.
