IMHO, products damaged by user accidents or abuse should NEVER be
replaced for "free", and we are kidding ourselves if we pretend they
should be. No business trying to stay alive can just eat the costs
involved, meaning they are obviously passed on to future customers by
raising prices on their products.


That's what unconditional warrantees are all about. Trust me, the
companies are not just "eating" the costs--it's all wrapped up in the
price. If you don't like the added price, go with a company, like Loomis,
that has a reasonable repair charge and no unconditional warrantee.
