Could MF confirm this?
If this is the case, then I am going to start moving away from the LB.
I'm on my second replacement and as I havent got the protective O ring for the bowl on my new LB I am expecting the sides to slip down the bowl at some point. (It happened on the last 2 even though I was careful and never touched the screen with anything but he brush).
My objection to this is simply the cost of postage.
2 replacements inside a 6 month period dont boad well for the LB reliability. With the old replacement system this wasnt such an issue. It goes wrong they send you a new one.
However I am not happy about the idea of having to pay shipping costs should this one go wrong, and the next and so on.
I very much view this as "changing the goal posts" for people who bought the MF under the no quibble warranty only to find that now we have to pay the P+P (mine is international).
MF do offer a good warranty, but dont lose sight of the fact that this warranty is rectifying faulty goods... the user error part of the warranty I have always though is way above and beyond, but in my case the warranty have been used to replace defective LBs not broken LBs.
