The author concludes that you should only buy a frying pan that has a manufacturer’s warranty, even if you wouldn’t seek reimbursement in the event the pan doesn’t work well or last long. This is because the fact that a manufacturer offers a warranty indicates that they won’t need to reimburse many customers due to the product failing to work well or failing to last long.

The author assumes that the reason manufacturers who offer a warranty won’t need to reimburse customers is the quality of the frying pan. This overlooks the possibility that the reason manufacturers won’t need to reimburse customers is simply that customers tend not to seek reimbursement when the frying pan breaks or doesn’t work well.

The provides evidence against the possibility that manufacturers offer a warranty merely because people tend not to seek reimbursement. This gets rid of the alternate explanation for why manufacturers offer a warranty, and it makes the premise more supportive of the conclusion.

This tells us that the warranty pans work at least as well as the non-warranty pans at time of purchase. But this doesn’t suggest we should “only” buy pans that are under warranty. Why not buy the non-warranty pans, too?

This identifies which pans are most likely to be under warranty. But it doesn’t suggest we should “only” buy pans under warranty, and doesn’t help connect the premise to the conclusion.

This doesn’t tell us anything about the pans under warranty or why we should “only” buy those pans.

The author’s conclusion is that we should buy the pans under warranty even if we won’t seek reimbursement. So the offer of full satisfaction doesn’t matter; if we don’t seek reimbursement the level of satisfaction doesn’t affect what we would get.
