Warranty

When you purchase a commercial slush machine from us, you can enjoy complete peace of mind in the knowledge that you are buying premium, high quality equipment. They are backed up with an onsite parts and labour warranty, unless otherwise stated. The warranty covers key components of the machines against manufacturer defects, such as the freezing unit, motor and gear box.

Our equipment range is ultra premium and as such an engineer request is rare. In fact, less that 3% of our machines require a call out within the first 3 years.

If you experience an issue or problem, we’re here to help and will ensure the issue is quickly resolved. Our commitment is for the lifetime of your machine.

How does it work? As one of the few slush companies with a resource of national field based engineers, we offer our customers 12 months onsite parts and labour warranty. 

3 years extended warranty. We offer our exclusive supplies customers who purchase a minimum annual volume of slush syrup, even more peace of mind by offering an extended 3 year on-site warranty. Terms apply*. Beyond the warranty, our commitment to our customers, is machine lifetime support. This means we will still troubleshoot and resolve issues and if required send engineers if repairs are required. This will be arranged at trade cost.

We receive a large volume of calls each month from sites who have purchased their slush machine elsewhere, requesting a  repair. We do not repair or assist with troubleshooting machines not supplied by us.

CLEANING ISSUES, POOR MAINTENANCE, CUSTOMER NEGLECT AND ABUSE ARE NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY

Putting ‘Cheap Slush’ in a Mr Slush Branded machine, risks your warranty support. WHY?

We send all our new customers a welcome email and detailed within this, is our warranty information. Please note that you will be required to reply to this email to initiate the warranty. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

Call out procedure:

    1. Call us on 08000 141818 to report the fault 
    2. We will assess the issue and attempt to give you a diagnosis over the telephone. 90% of problems are resolved at this stage
    3. If an engineer is required, we reserve the right to charge a deposit payment of £350 + VAT, even if under warranty. Non syrup customers may be charged more. This is necessary as customer error breakdowns are not covered by the warranty. Motor Gearbox replacements are posted direct to site to replace as an engineer is not required to swap.
    4. The engineer will then be booked by us. We aim to have the engineer on site within 7 working days but is usually much sooner, 3 or 4 working days.
    5. The engineer will inform the customer of the machine issue.
    6. If the issue is a genuine warranty covered problem, your deposit will be refunded in full immediately.

 

* We reward our loyal customers by offering a 3 year extended warranty who are exclusively purchasing our Mr Slush syrups and branded slush cups. To quality, we’d expect  you to be purchasing 8 cases of slush per annum (48x5Ltr tubs) and accossiated quantity of slush cups which is discretionary and is approx. and is half of our customers average. 

Why set an order level? To ensure our premium syrups are not being used as a top up, increasing the risk of customers buying cheap substandard syrups which can cause damage to slush machines. The extended warranty is not a legally binding contract, it’s a voluntary service we offer our loyal customers who have a minimum spend level with whom we are prepared to invest should an unexpected issue occur.

 

** Buying slush syrup on the cheap can be false economy. Our syrups are manufactured to the highest standards using premium grade ingredients and the correct amount of real sugar. Cheap, substandard syrups can cause damage to your slush machine and motor gearbox. Sugar is an expensive commodity but ensures the slush mix does not put undue duress on motor gearboxes, it creates a soft product. Sweeteners and synthetic sugar based products present the risk of your mix over-freezing and over time can damage your motor gearbox. Your warranty does NOT cover such eventualities. Learn more.
