> The Lifetime warranty lasts for the manufacturer’s defined lifetime of your vac. The vacs are designed to have a run life of 500-700 hours. The warranty coverage ends the shorter of: after such run life or the product becomes unusable for reasons other than defects in workmanship or material.

- hairofadog 4y agoSorry – I’m not grokking the point you’re making – but my reading of the above is that the warranty ends when the product becomes unusable. Which, as I mentioned, is fine, but then don’t put “full lifetime warranty” on the box. The shorter of (500-700 hours) or (when the product becomes unusable) for me was (when the product became unusable), or about 6 months.
- bdowling 4y ago> When I checked the terms of the warranty, it said that it was only covered if it failed on the first or second use out of the box. According to the warranty page you linked, "first or second use" is not a limitation. The language you quoted, however, does discourage warranty claims on products that have been used for a while. I agree that does not inspire confidence in the longevity of their products.
