This is generally the same in the US. If a product is not sold "as-is", it falls under the Federal Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act; which enforces any warranty claims made by the manufacturer. In addition, there are multiple state level legislative actions that enforce consumer protections. For this reason a minimum one-year full warranty (manufacturer repairs or replaces the item, in good faith) on new goods is the standard, followed by an additional year or two of limited warranty (if you can prove it broke at no fault of your own, they offer a repair or replacement process).
