Reply to comment by New_Sun6390 in Trying out Maine’s Implied Warranty Law, denied from manufacturer. Checking with the seller before I contact the attorney general! by FlappyKillmore

The Maine implied warranty says it needs to be fit for purpose for at least four years, or the expected lifetime of the product if it's reasonable that the expected lifetime is shorter. I would absolutely expect an air fryer to last at least four years. Hell, I'd expect it to last 10 to 20 years - kitchen appliances don't break easily and should work for a very long time.

Since OP's air fryer won't turn on, they are entitled to relief from the manufacturer or seller, whichever OP prefers to go through.

Also, the seller or manufacturer can not disclaim the Maine implied warranty. If you purchase it in Maine, you, the purchaser, get to choose the warranty most beneficial to you.

“Maine’s implied warranty of merchantability applies automatically to any new or used consumer product for up to 4 years from the date of purchase, depending on the product’s “useful life” (life expectancy). For example, you purchase a highly rated food processor that comes with a 2-year express warranty, but your warranty protection doesn’t end after 2 years. Assuming proper care, the food processor should last for at least 4 years, which is the length of its implied warranty of merchantability.5 If the useful life of the food processor is more than 4 years, the length of its implied warranty is still 4 years, which is the upper limit of time for any implied warranty of merchantability. If a product’s useful life is less than 4 years, the implied warranty for that product is the length of its useful life. For example, a soccer ball that you played with every day is probably at the end of its useful life when, 2 years after you bought it, it won’t inflate anymore. The length of the implied warranty for the soccer ball is 2 years.”

Maine state law says the Implied warranty is for 4 years, is it not? If it were just “out of the box” they would not have a reason for it whereas most every manufacturer has a 1 year warranty.

Who wants an appliance or electronic to last 3 years?

Implied warranty does not supercede the product warranty or imply a lifetime warranty . Its only purpose is to give consumers protection that a washing machine will wash, a heater will heat, a toaster will toast, air fryer will fry, etc., out of the package.

Your air fryer is three years old. Ease stop wasting taxpayer resources trying to get something you are not entitled to.

It says it right on the gauge how much to fill and not overfill. Yeah totally agree with you. Not a danger really as long as the relief valves are working. But an over charge for sure.

Clifford Park in Biddeford is actually a lot bigger than I expected the first time I hiked it. The back trails are really nice and quiet for being so close in town.

You’re correct that it was about 30 gallons. The one for the fireplace was pretty high, but the one got the generator was absolutely over the top. The only time we got it filled by that much was after that days-long power outage over Christmas, and we didn’t have any outages since then.

Who is your supplier? We had to change suppliers for our heating oil when we finally confirmed that they had been delivering our oil to the wrong house. I have a strong suspicion that some of these people are too incompetent to be in the business.

They would/should have left a receipt showing how much they put in. Or call them and ask. How big are your tanks? Average price for propane in Maine is around $3.25/gallon. So them adding 30-ish gallons to each tank seems normal to me. I have 2ea. 120 gallon tanks which I let run pretty low and just spent $600 filling up last week.

Fuller farm is Scarborough is VERY dog friendly with varied terrain and even a great spot for dogs to splash in the river. Also the Eastern Trail is a easy walk and leashed dogs are welcome. I recommend the Alltrails app. I have found so many great places all over Southern Maine using this app.
