Husqvarna xp warranty for non commercial users?

[chevyforlife21]

I've had 1 dealer tell me it's 6 months and I can't extend my warranty at all buying the fuel or oil 6 pack.

Dealer 2 told me 2 years and I can extend it to 4 years

The saw in question is a 550xp

Also nether dealer wanted to participate in the current promotion for a free hat free 4 year warranty and 3 fuels

Also I have to add I'm a very ocational user cut a few trees a year only and I've told the dealer this said didn't matter

send spike60 a pm. problem solved. close thread. (just joking about closing your thread. seriously, never heard a single bad experience from anyone who has dealt with spike.60) Tlandrum is also a dealer. Ive had several transactions with him and they all went seamless.

Oil gets an additional year (3 total). Premix fuel adds 2 (4 total).

My dealer told me that all XP models are covered under the commercial warranty clause regardless of who buys the unit

Pretty cut and dry on the wording.


Effective February 1, 2013, consumers who purchase two-stroke gasoline powered Husqvarna branded handheld products, including: chainsaws, blowers, hedge trimmers, pole saws and trimmers, for non-income producing personal use or household purposes, excluding commercial, agricultural, retail, industrial and rental usage types, can extend their product warranty from the standard 2 years to either a 3 year or 4 year limited warranty.

Copied from the "whats eligible" in chainsaws for extended warranty. Think that covers all models available.

They take your money to extend the warranty and then deny you because of bad fuel when something blows up. Smart marketing

 

[sunfish]

I wouldn't put much thought into warranty. If something is goin to **** up, it's goin to do it pretty soon.

Warranty is only as good as your Dealer in most cases.

Troof!

My Husqvarna OPE Dealer offered the doubling of the warranty on the Pole Pruner I bought in February with the purchase of three cans of premix. This was even after he gave me a 20% discount off of MSRP.

He also only charges me his cost on parts, and will just throw them on his order if he doesn't have them in stock.

Well, if you don't get a free hat, I'd buy an Echo or Dolmar.
You can avoid the warranty dilemma by never buying new.
I've read too many horror stories on ways the OPE warranty is voided.

my new 346xp only had a six month , but my new trimmer i was able to extend to four years with the canned fuel .

Unfortunately to many dealers (not just chainsaw and any brand) only care on how to save a single cent over customer support or even return customers.
This is why I am such a big advocate on patronizing good dealers even if it may cost a bit more.

Howdy,
What it will all boil down to if you need a warranty is how you filled out the registration. If you put down anything besides your personal name, you're going to get commercial coverage.

The only time we void warranty is when the operator is the defect.

Yep. First words out of a dealer's mouth when bringing in something for warranty. Just had it happen to 2 echo handhelds that were a month old. I filled up at 3 different stations to rule out a fuel issue even though my 2 year old blower ran fine on the fuel that was dumped into it from the other handhelds.

That rules out the XP line

You may wish to read the warranty guidelines, that have been graciously posted above.
