The manufacturer's warranty says one year. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 says products must be of acceptable quality and reasonable durability - which for a fridge is typically 7 to 10 years, a TV around 5 to 7, a kettle around 2. PriceGuard stores every receipt in your free vault, reminds you before the manufacturer's window expires, and drafts a polite CGA-anchored email when something fails - even years later. You don't need to know the law. We do.

Indicative examples drawn from PriceGuard's launch data and public NZ retailer pricing. Names are anonymised, the numbers and retailers are real.
Fridge was 3 years old, outside the 2-year manufacturer warranty. CGA reasonable-durability standard for a $2,400 appliance is closer to 10 years - retailer arranged a free repair.
TV was 27 months old. CGA email referenced the price paid ($1,899) and reasonable durability - retailer replaced under guarantee.
Inside the 2-year manufacturer window. Polite, well-drafted email got a replacement battery shipped without escalation.
