Thread: Different countries, different cordless !

Was it a warranty issue? Non-Australian models aren't covered by the Australian warranty network here (as you could imagine, each country has differences in the cost of warranty work due to labour costs, transport and all those sorts of overhead).

Also, a non-oz one isn't certified to meet the various bureaucratic rubber stamps for electrical and product safety (never mind that it meets a stricter standard from europe...it hasn't been tested against our standard, so it might be missing that all-important 'do not place razor sharp rapidly spinning blade against genitals' warning notice) so they may not be able to work on it for insurance or similar b/s reasons.

It Was still under warranty, But my thought was they'll all made under the same standard and used for the same job. I knew that i'd have to pay to get it serviced but i couldn't understand why it was different from the Oz model. The service gent thought that it was because i'd changed the plug on the charger!!! Both countries are 240v. He lost me! But thanks for the reply
