It's not really a secret. If you get a consumer KitchenAid mixer and use it for baking in an industrial kitchen, KitchenAid is probably going to reject your warranty when you send it in for a burned out motor after 6 months.

Warranties cover defects, not wear and tear far beyond the advertised workload.



You might want to revisit Magnusson Moss act. No such thing as 'advertised workload'.


If advertised duty cycles aren't a thing, then every SSD, printer, and paper shredder is breaking the law.

I'm not aware of anything in magnusson moss prohibiting you from indicating a devices designed workload-- whether it's pages shredded per minute, pages printed a month, or TBW / DWPD. It is well known that flash has a limited lifespan and no court is going to rule that burning through those cell writes with a commercial workload somehow entitles you to coverage under an implied warranty.
