Gift Appliances Are Fully Registerable

There is no rule that only the buyer can register an appliance. If you received a stand mixer, air fryer, or espresso machine as a gift, you can register it in your name using the serial number on the unit. Manufacturers want the end user registered, not just the purchaser.

Registration is based on serial number ownership, not purchase proof You become the registered owner regardless of who bought it Warranty coverage transfers to you as the new owner in most cases Recall alerts will be sent directly to your contact information

How to Register a Gifted Kitchen Appliance

The process is the same as a purchased appliance. Find the serial number, visit the manufacturer's registration portal, and submit your information. Most registrations take less than three minutes.

Locate the serial number on the bottom or back of the appliance Visit the manufacturer's website and find the product registration section Enter the serial number, your name, email, and approximate receipt date Use the gift date as the purchase date if you do not have the exact purchase date

A gift receipt helps the giver with returns. Registration is what protects you for the next five years.

What to Do If You Cannot Find the Serial Number

Serial numbers on kitchen appliances are typically printed on a label on the bottom, back, or inside a door. If the label is worn or the appliance has been unboxed and set up, check the packaging if it was kept.

Check the bottom of the appliance body Look inside the door cavity for built-in appliances like toasters and microwaves Check the original box if the gift came in the retail packaging Ask the gift-giver to share the model number from their purchase receipt

Register Every Appliance You Own.

Bawte makes gift appliance registration instant. Scan the serial number, add your info, and you are covered for recalls and warranty service.
