Should I Buy the Extended Warranty?
The service
contract that you can get when you purchase a new appliance will protect your
appliance if it fails. The contract will cost from $50.00 to over $300.00 and
it is from one to four yeas and some of them extend the life of the manufacturers’ warranty while some are in place
at the same time as the original warranty. The amount of coverage is not the
same for all extended service contracts. Some cover only the appliance while
some will even cover the contents of the ‘fridge.
If you are
making a purchase that is for an expensive top of the line appliance, the extended warranty should be included in the amount
of the purchase. If it is not included, a friendly conversation with the store
manager or owner should change that.
Most new
appliances – no matter what the price - will show their true colors long before the return policy has expired or long
after the warranty is over.
