I’ve always admired companies that have the guts to put their money where their mouth is, and offer a lifetime guarantee on their products. It’s a good feeling knowing that something you’re about to buy will be replaced if it doesn’t hold up as advertised. In the past I’ve talked about the stores with the best return policies, so I figured this post would be a nice sequel of sorts. Be sure to shop at these brands and companies that offer a lifetime guarantee on their products, and sleep well at night knowing they have your back.

The 32 Companies That Back Up Their Products With a Lifetime Guarantee

Here are all of the brands that I could find which offer a lifetime guarantee (in alphabetical order):

1. ALDI Grocery

The southern U.S. discount grocery store has the ALDI Double Guarantee which says if you’re not 100% satisfied with any product they sell, they’ll refund your money AND replace the product.

2. Behr Paint

Behr is sold exclusively at Home Depot is some of the finest paint on the market in terms of durability and coverage and comes with a limited lifetime guarantee.

It reads like this, “If you are not satisfied with this paint’s performance, Behr Process Corporation will, at its option and upon proof-of-purchase (the original receipt), either furnish an equivalent amount of paint or refund the purchase price of this paint to you.”

It’s also worth noting that “For Life” versions are more expensive, but the extra money spent could be worth it to you, depending on “how hard” you are on your boots.

Vortex Optics has, I believe, the type of lifetime warranty your list represents. You can read it for yourself at the above website.

Theresa C.

Moen Faucets even replaced replacements. Quality with impeccable customer service.

Glen Powers

The handle broke on my Fiskars Loppers and I filled out a form and sent pictures three weeks ago and never got a reply. Last week I sent a follow-up “am I on your radar” and again no reply.

Margaret A Thomas

Might check Land’s End again. I purchased a coat from them some time ago and received a letter well after that, stating that their warranty period was now reduced to two years.
