Before replacing something, check the warranty just in case it’s covered

My Moen shower head hose sorta came off about a year ago or so.  I had been lazy to replace it, so every month or so, I’d push it together.  I didn’t want to replace it just because of a cosmetic issue.  However, a few weeks ago, the shower head was spraying very weak water.  I probably could have opened it up and checked if there was dirt or something blocking the pathway, but the shower head was 4+ years old and it was old and gunky.  I figured it was best to just replace the whole thing.  Thus, I went onto Amazon and found what I thought was a replacement head for about ~$75.  I was reading the reviews and one of the top 5 reviews mentioned about a warranty and replacement.  Thus, I went onto Moen’s site and sure enough, there was a lifetime warranty on it.  I called them up, and after a 5 minute phone call that involved me taking a picture of my current shower head and emailing it to the rep (so they know which model) WHILE STILL BEING ON THE PHONE WITH THEM, the nice lady ordered a replacement newer model shower head and hose.  Sweet!  Saved me ~$75.  Usually, I don’t believe in those lifetime warranties because you have to register your device or some weird BS, but this one came through.

  1. I actually do this a lot and pretty much every company has been awesome so far. most recent claim was for Tribest juicer for parents. The filter broke after a year or so. Emailed Tribest last week and they sent a new filter immediately.
