Warranties and the rules that apply

The Consumer Guarantees Act covers products bought for personal or household use in New Zealand, and it requires products to be of acceptable quality. Consumer Protection says a warranty on electronics and appliances often lasts one or two years, and a basic microwave may have a shorter one than a high-end model. Consumer NZ puts a microwave's life expectancy at about 8 years and suggests replacing it if the magnetron cannot be repaired. Ask each seller for the manufacturer's warranty statement, which comes with the appliance.

Repairs and what the regulations require

If a microwave goes to a repairer, the Microwave Ovens Regulations 1982 require the repairer to use best endeavours, including checking radiation leakage by measurement. Ask the repairer to confirm that check in writing when you hand the oven over, and keep the receipt with the warranty statement.

Delivery and how microwaves are bought here

Delivery is often priced by island. One online listing for other goods shows NZ$8.95 plus GST to the North Island and NZ$10.95 plus GST to the South Island, with NZ$4 plus GST extra for rural addresses. Check whether the quoted price includes GST and delivery to your city, which may be Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga. For a built-in unit, give the cavity size in centimetres, not just the capacity in litres.

Season and timing

Climate has little effect on an indoor appliance, so timing depends mainly on your own move or renovation. November sits between the June to August winter and the December to February summer, so there is time to arrange delivery before the summer holidays.

Free for buyers: describe the microwave you need in the BlaBlaPrice chat, with a photo if you have one, and answer the questions the AI asks about capacity, features and budget. BlaBlaPrice's AI then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply with their own offer, and your contact details stay hidden. For related goods, see kitchen appliances.
