1) If something was £100 with 12 month guarantee.
2) exactly the same product £50 no guarantee or optional guarantee £10 extra=£60
3) exactly same product £25, When it breaks "don't care, been useful buy another"?
This is just a little survey :)
Thanks Everyone
Steve.

You mean guarantee?
It depends. Some guarantees aren't very good.
And it also depends on the product. Is it likely to go wrong or not in the 12 months. Some are more likely to than others.
But at that price and that saving, I'd probably take a chance at £50 with no guaranty.
-
I would take gamble on the £50 & hope it did not feck up.

I think he is having a little dig regarding a new product coming to market from a competitor. ::)roll
-
I don't think it's a case of one or the other.
They're both important along with a good product and customer service and for me, using a courier that delivers when they say they will.
-
Depends. Is the product made by a cheap rate gook crowd or a reputable company with great customer service?

This is a survey of whats important to a consumer, not compete with another product.

I had a young woman phone me up a couple of Sundays ago.
She asked me to complete a telephone survey for market research purposes.
I replied "Great, how much are you going to pay me? Oh and considering it's a Sunday I presume it will double?".
To my surprise she told me they do not pay people for taking time out of their day/weekend to provide them with information for which they will sell on and make a profit.
Hardly seems fair to me....... ::)roll

Commenting is not compulsory

Depends if it is an unneccessery complicated weak springy thing or a simple plastic fitting, I am all for cheap with wfp, because everything is rubbish and everything breaks sooner or later.
The only item never to break with us is the flojet pumps

Yes i think wfp equipment is put through the paces, Highly stressed, constant use,
so if equipment is expensive and breaks its annoying.
-
All depends on what it is. Eg. a push fit tap for nine quid - no guarantee needed. Something that does exactly the sme thing for £100 then it's going to need a golden guarantee.

I agree with this. I think it is the most reliable piece of wfp kit available. Search the posts for pump problems and almost all are related to other pumps.
I'd be happy paying whatever (within reason and apart from poles) for anything wfp that would last 3 years. A leisure battery at 3 1/2 years is the next longest.
I can't comment on flow controllers though because I stopped using mine years ago.
As for anything that comes with a 12 month warranty, I would consider it a throwaway product anyway and would go for a cheaper option with no guarantee.

I was going to vote on the survey but chose not to because i wanted to vote 'quality' and it wasn't there.

Why's your van gone all small? I can hardly see it now.
