I was at a local home, grill, etc. store yesterday for something entirely different and they happened to be having a big BGE sale.
I pulled the trigger on this package deal, but as I’ve looked more online, I’m seeing the warranty only applies to 1) purchases from authorized vendors and 2) the original purchaser.
This was an authorized vendor, so I should be covered there. However, I’m unsure if I am the “original purchaser” and would be covered. This is the first time it has been sold from the vendor but it has been used in demos ~10 times by their estimation.
I asked about the warranty from the store when I purchased and the vendor ensured I was covered. As I’m reading more, I’m not 100% sure.
What are your thoughts and is there anything I need to ask before this is delivered to me?

Have you tried to register it? The dealer should be correct, they haven’t sold it to anyone else. The dealer used it for a demo but that’s not reported to BGE headquarters or anything like that so on paper they see it as brand new and you get an insane deal. I’m sure that dealer has done this multiple times before and customers had no issues. Congrats on a killer deal.
I just got one so I don’t have any helpful information (just did my first cook yesterday lol) but that is an INCREDIBLE deal! Congrats!!!!!!!
I’ve noticed with the dealers where I live most don’t care. You just need the receipt and be the original owner of the egg. I’ve gotten things replaced at different dealers just keep a copy of my receipt on my phone.
As others have said as long as it can be registered. This is fucking amazing. I’m jealous. I just got basically this set up and 800$ is insane.
This BGE setup is ABSOLUTELY the sort of thing that I’d buy a demo/display model on.
buy it, register it. you’ll be fine.
Great deal, those modular nests are over $500 on their own!
Awesome deal!
Eggfest eggs are used and sold as new for their events. I think you’re fine. That’s a hell of a deal
Why are you on Reddit? Talk to the dealer or BGE customer service.
I am sure it will be fine, I have sold these before and there was never an issue with warranty. That is also a GREAT deal!!!
Authorized dealers are not owners so you’ll be the first owner. Make sure to register it… the dealer should offer to do that as well.
Source: I bought one in a similar fashion. Paid $650 for just the egg and nest… 5 years ago… you got a hell of a deal.
What was demo XL price?
Steal.
I had an Egg for a short time. Been into BBQ for 2 decades and stopped for mostly fucked up life circumstances. I really miss my BBQ.
What a great deal. I would have bought it too. BGE will take care of you.
