Not really, no. There's no requirement to provide any warranty. Some have 90 days, some have 1 year, some have a lifetime warranty. But there's no legal obligation to provide one.Any item has a 12 month warranty from new.
Not all things, not even a £160 TV. But it should last longer than 14 monthsMankysteve wrote: »You can expect an item to last 6 yearsSquirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

That's not the correct answer and quite a common misconception. The SOGA allows up to 6 years from the time of purchase for a buyer to claim damages, it does not mean that an item has to last 6 years, quite the contrary. I really wish people would understand this before making such definitive statements.Mankysteve wrote: »This is the correct answer.
You can expect an item to last 6 years under Uk law
An item only needs to last a reasonable amount of time and that entirely depends on the individual item.0 -
Is this not one of the items that now have a standard 2 year warranty? Sorry I've probably got this wrong but I know that some warranties have changed.0

Nothing has changed...it's just that EU Directive 1999/44/EC is now more widely known about.
What most people fail to realise is that this does not actually go as far as SOGA in it's benefits. UK consumer law is far ahead of EU law.0 -
