Bought a blender from a flash sale site back in January because the ad promised a lifetime warranty. When the motor gave out last week, I called the number and got a voicemail box that was full. Emailed their support address and it bounced back. Anyone else run into fake lifetime warranties from those pop-up deal sites?
The Monster cable crowd at work said I was crazy for buying the cheap one off Amazon. Hooked it up to my 4K TV in my living room and the picture looks exactly the same to me. Anyone else think the whole premium cable thing is just marketing hype?
My cousin swears premium cables improve picture quality on his 4K TV, but I keep telling him digital is digital, right? He pointed out his $40 cable from Best Buy actually fixed some random flickering he had with a cheap one. Does brand really matter or is he just seeing what he paid for?
I picked up one of those cheap bidet attachments off Amazon about 6 months ago just to see what the fuss was about. The plastic connectors looked flimsy in the box and I almost sent it back. But I figured for $15 what did I have to lose, so I hooked it up to my toilet in about 20 minutes. After using it daily for six months the thing still works like new, no leaks or cracks. Meanwhile my neighbor paid $80 for a name brand one at the hardware store and his valve started dripping after three months. I guess sometimes the cheap gamble pays off. Has anyone else had good luck with those super cheap bidet attachments or did I just get lucky with mine?
I picked up a Vitamix clone from a flash sale site back in March for $89, and the motor started smoking just 2 weeks ago when I was making almond butter. The company's customer service ghosted me after I sent them the order number and a video of the smoke. Is this just a case of getting what you pay for, or has anyone actually gotten a replacement out of these sketchy warranty promises?
Got tricked by that one-click checkout on a free trial and then had to hunt through four different menus to actually end it. Anyone else find it takes way longer to quit a service than to join?
I got this speaker from some ad that kept popping up on my feed, $24.99 and they claimed it could survive being submerged for 30 minutes. After the third time I took it into the shower the sound got all crackly and it just stopped turning on. Anyone else fall for those mystery brand ads on Instagram?
I grabbed a $23 cordless vacuum off Temu during a 48 hour sale because the listing claimed 8000Pa suction and 30 minute runtime. Tested it against my carpet and it barely picked up a single Cheerio before dying at 11 minutes flat. Is there a reliable budget vacuum under $50 that isn't a straight up gamble?
