I didn't even have a receipt in either case. Of course, you need to have a good reason and be able to make your case persuasively. The mower had a known defective motor that was replaced in the next model and the blower lasted 2 years at 5 hours per year.
I agree! Amazon has replaced power tools for me and my company a number of times. Many times they don’t even want the broken tool back, they just ship out a new one!
