small clauses to be with the verb guarantee

Hi~ everyone!

I can't figure out which could be right and wrong among the following senteces. Would you help me with it?

1.The company guarantees the product to work well.
2.The company guarantees the product to be good.
3.The company guarantees the product good.
4.The company guarantees the product as being good.
5.The company guarantees the product as good.
6.The company guarantees the product as a good one.
7.The company wouldn't guarantee its new product as a good one.

I made them wishing they could similarly mean '"The company guarantees (that) the product works/will work well."(except for #7). Some verbs seem to get along with small clauses as in "I consider him as a good man." But some verbs don't.... I'm confused...


Many thanks in advance.

These are OK: The company guarantees that the product will work well. The company guarantees that the product is good. The others all sound rather strange to me
