wants to get paid to do so!!! I paid $2500 for this product in May 2012. I'll never buy USA products again.
com to register. I have been chased all over the web trying to find it! They do need to catch up with the rest of the world! I do love my product (so far) though. Ok, get the pen out and do it through the mail! (ridiculous!)
Can't find the website to register my dryer. The website on the registration card takes me to an automobile website. I just read at leat 2 YEARS of COMPLAINS about REGISTERING Maytag/Admiral products, and STILL the problem has not been resolved!
The CEO is obviously playing too much golf.
I read the complaints for Dec. 2010 and they haven't corrected it yet. What is going on?
I hope I don't regret purchasing a Maytag.

But you're right, it's too painful to have to hunt for something like that.
Be aware that warranty or "product registration" cards have less to do with warranties than they do with mailing lists. These cards often ask you about your hobbies, the number of people in your household, your income, and other information the company obviously does not need to guarantee the product.
Registration cards are usually not mailed to the company that manufactured the product, but to a post office box in Denver, Colorado, of Equifax Direct Marketing Solutions (formerly Polk). This company compiles buyer profiles and sells the information to other companies for marketing purposes. Experian also compiles consumer information from registration forms. (See information about removing your contact information from these companies in number 4 above.)
California law requires companies to inform consumers that the card or form is for product registration. The statement cannot state or imply that the form is for warranty registration. The statement must also inform the consumer that failure to complete and return the card or form does not diminish your warranty rights. (California Civil Code 1793.1)
When you buy a product, generally you should not fill out the product registration card. In most cases your receipt ensures that you are covered by the warranty if the product is defective. If you decide to send the registration card, include only minimal information: name, address, date of purchase and product serial number. (For some products you may want the company to have a record of your purchase in case there is a safety recall.)
You should always complete the product registration card for any durable infant’s or toddler’s products such as cribs, toddler beds, strollers, car seats, play yards, swings, and high chairs. This information allows you to be contacted if there is a recall. The information from cards for these specific types of products cannot be used for marketing or other commercial purposes. For more information read http://kidsindanger.org/publications/brochures/2010_PR_Brochure.pdf
Note that the Product Registration Card that came with my refrigerator states that "Your answers (to this questionaire) will be used for market research studies and reports. They will also allow you to receive important mailings and special offers from a number of fine companies whose products and services relate directly to the specifid interest, hobbies, and other information indicated above....FAILURE TO RETURN THIS CARD WILL NOT DIMINISH YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS."
Thanks but no thanks!!
