    I contacted Guardian Tech (Lasko) as a humidifier I obtained last year thru the Rewards Program from ***** ***** is no longer producing mist. The 3 year limited warranty states you must provide proof of purchase and they honored the email from ***** ***** Rewards as "proof of purchase". After my initial communication, they stated the product was defective and could be replaced by a different model. The consumer rep suggested I keep the product until further notice, however I disposed of the unit within the recyling pick up as I didn't think they would want the unit back and they didn't offer to fix the unit as another option. They now require proof that I cut the cord of the unit but I can't do that as I have disposed of the unit to be recycled. Their warranty doesn't state cutting the cord to be a requirement and they aren't following the exact terms of the warranty as outlined on their website as well as included in the manual for the item. I have tried to have them agree that they have changed the requirements of their warranty and they haven't explained why they think they can change the exact terms of their warranty without written documentation for that amendment. The product doesn't cost that much, but I'm frustrated they don't abide by their terms of the warranty for the humidifier. I have attached pdf with documentation of the conversation and a copy of their warranty.

    On 14 November I placed an order for two germ Guardian air purifiers. I received them on the 16th and I sent an email on 24 November to let them know that one of the lights on the top was burn out, this unit is defective. They took forever to get back with me and when they did I have heard from two different individuals, Cedric R*******. I sent all the pictures and all additional documentation necessary and now they're jerking me around. Cedric is telling me they will not replace the unit until they investigate and he's asking for the same documentation I've already given once before. This fraudulent behavior is not acceptable and I no longer want to do business with this company, I wish to return the defective product and I want my money back and I will keep the other one that's in good working condition.
