GORENJE WELCOMES OFT INVESTIGATION INTO EXTENDED WARRANTIES

Gorenje, the Slovenian manufacturer famed for its creative and innovative appliances, welcomes the investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) into extended warranties for electrical goods*.

The sale of extended warranties is worth more than £750million a year to those who sell them, but the OFT is concerned that they are too expensive and consumers are not getting value for money*.

Gorenje offers a market-leading free five year parts and labour guarantee on all its built-in single and double ovens, hobs, hoods and built-in cooling plus selected freestanding products, including the new Simplicity range. All other appliances are automatically covered by a free two year parts and labour guarantee, offering real value for both the consumer and retailer.

Ruth Ferguson, Gorenje’s Marketing Manager, says: “Now more than ever, consumers are looking for the best possible value for money, and will consider every aspect when they choose a new appliance. For this reason, any retailer who can offer products with a watertight, extensive guarantee such as Gorenje’s, is going to be of interest to the consumer. Gorenje’s guarantee offers the consumer excellent added value, with complete peace of mind.”

For further information about Gorenje’s guarantees, please contact your Area Sales Manager, call Gorenje on 0208 247 3980 or visit the website at www.gorenje.co.uk
