When you purchase a new appliance for your home, you may want to know how old it gets with passing time. This would also tell you that the default warranty which comes with the device is about to expire as well.
Typically people tend to sign up for “annual maintenance contracts” at the end of the default warranty. But even AMC require annual renewal.
Any Indian home today would have:
- A television
- A DVD player
- A refrigerator
- A washing machine
- A water purifier
- A vacuum cleaner
Remembering the purchase dates, warranty terms and so on for all these devices and more is a tedious task.
Our suggestion is to automate the reminders by putting the dates and some key words online on one of the many free reminders services that exist on the internet today. You could check out some at google by clicking the following link:
For existing appliances, it would be wise to hunt the invoice and enter it online on one of the websites which you feel is suitable enough. Any new purchase done moving forward can become a standard task (cultivated habit). Once you purchase it and are satisfied with the installation (as in no returns), log on to your website and enter the detail of the newly purchased item.
Remember, every appliance needs to be recycled every “N” number of years to assure best of services. This list will also give you a fair idea on how old your gadgets are moving forward - unless you have an awesome memory in place already
