BISSELL tip
Cleaning formula/solution bottles don't need to be shipped back for safety reasons but are still refunded, so don't bother repackaging them; also products bought outside the 60-day window fall back to the standard product warranty in the manual rather than a return.
Pura tip
Keep an active Pura subscription running — it extends your diffuser's warranty for as long as the subscription lasts, while a one-time purchase's coverage caps at exactly one year from the purchase date.
