COSORI tip
Get your RMA number first and ship promptly — it's only valid for 15 days, and returns shipped without one (or after it expires) get sent right back to you.
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.
