Põhivarustusena

Põhivarustusena is an Estonian term that translates to "as basic equipment" or "as standard equipment." It refers to the essential components or features that are included with a product or service as a matter of course, without requiring an additional purchase or upgrade. This concept applies across various industries, from consumer electronics and vehicles to software and services.

When something is described as põhivarustusena, it signifies that it is part of the fundamental offering. For instance, a smartphone sold põhivarustusena might come with a charger, a basic set of pre-installed applications, and a warranty. In the automotive sector, põhivarustusena features could include airbags, anti-lock brakes, and power windows. Similarly, a software subscription offered põhivarustusena would typically include access to core functionalities and regular updates.

The distinction between põhivarustusena and optional extras or premium features is important for consumers. It helps in understanding the expected functionality and value of a product or service at its base price. Manufacturers and service providers clearly define what is included as põhivarustusena to manage customer expectations and provide transparency in their offerings. This ensures that customers know what they are getting from the outset.
