The seller often does not offer official service or warranty.
In the event of a malfunction, service may be refused or may be very expensive.
Risks of purchasing from outside authorized dealers
The goods may not be intended for the Czech market and may not have Czech manuals.
Such goods may not have an official warranty, and any repairs may be expensive or impossible.
Service support from the manufacturer is not guaranteed - if something goes wrong, the seller often will not help.
It may happen that spare parts will not be available.
You will save a few crowns when buying, but the risk of problems during use is high.
Saving a few crowns may be tempting, but gray imports mean the risk that the goods will not work, will not be repaired and the warranty will not apply.Buy from official partners and be sure that your Tineco will work for a long time and without problems.
