Refurbished breadmaker broken after 17 months

I bought a refurbished breadmaker last year from Lakeland on Ebay. I haven't used it very much. It has just broken, 17 months after purchase. I contacted Lakeland and they say because it was refurbished it only had a 1 year guarantee and that's expired so tough!
Is there anything I can do?

    The same as with any product that is in excess of 6 months old. Get an independent report stating the item was inherently faulty and exert your consumer rights.
  • How much did it cost compared to the price of a new one?

    Goods sold by businesses to consumers are expected to have a reasonable life but for this expected life, the price paid can be taken in to account.

    What was the warranty period on a new one?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
