German consumer law - Guarantee vs warranty
-
In Germany, whatever electronics good you buy has in general a 2 year guarantee. How is it different from Warranty? On a side note, If I buy an apple product and it messes up in 2 years, Will apple do a free of charge repair or replace here?
cheers,
Super

I believe it's the difference between Garantie and Gewährleistung.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Guarantee means they are confident they did a good job and it won't break. Warranty means they skipped testing and hope you don't claim when it does break.
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: That's something easy to understand :laugh: :laugh:

Isn't communicating with your hands called Italian?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Given the current situation, membership of the EU (or not) is not so important. But soon we will be free.
We're already, unequivocally, out. I don't understand people who say we're half-in, half-out. We left at the end of January. We're now in what's jokingly called a "transition" but is nothing of the sort. The word implies a partial status, a phasing in/out, a continuous change; yet during the "transition" period, NOTHING is changing. There are some NEW arrangements in place temporarily, some of which MAY become permanent; that is not a transition, and it's not the same as being "in". You also can't be "transitioning" when the next state is not yet agreed! (We are not yet safe from some new arrangement which may shackle us to the EU of course, but that's an entirely separate matter).
