Brother warranty for sewing machines
The short version
Brother covers sewing machines in full for 1 year, then keeps head parts and electronic pattern components covered to 25 years. That full coverage is longer than most of the 3 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Brother's published warranty, checked October 2026.
