When buying a new washer/dryer, do you buy the extended warranty?

It's only a little over $100 for 5 years. Sounds worth it to me. What do you think?

Hell no.
Do you think they are selling those warranties to lose money?

Nope.....only one I used to buy was from Sears, where they would come out to your house and do a prevenative check on it once a year, clean it etc.

I know dude I don't even have health insurance for my kids. Anything that turns a profit is bad for the consumer.

no I roll the dice. chances are it'll work fine for 5+ years.

Waste of money. It will break. Not during the warranty period.

I believe this is in addition to the regular warranty. So, if the motor has a 10 year warranty, this extends it to 15 years.

It will break in 5-1/2 years no doubt

I am all about profit.
But, extended warranties are excellent at extracting money from consumers while normally giving nothing in return.

Never

No, I don't need insurance on my appliances.

I know I'm just taking your point too far. I don't buy them either.

Only because I'm bad with money and I'm half listening to the salesman, nodding and saying sure while I hover my card waiting to swipe so I can go home. I'm the exact type of person they target.

Ok, so that's a big fat no. Thanks for the input. I usually don't but when electricity and water are concerned I thought maybe this time...

No, I'm not a sucker but do whatever lets you sleep at night

How big is your family? Do you cram the washer till you cant put anymore towels(my wife does)? If you use it as a light duty washer, than no. If you abuse it, yes. My last 2 failed within the warranty and were replaced, not fixed. Most of them are direct drive units now that cost more to fix than replace.
Drier.... No

well, how much did you pay for the washer and dryer?
Posted on 6/23/14 at 5:03 pm to tipup
No abuse. Average use. I think I've got my answer. But if my washer breaks and fills my upstairs hallway with water y'all are going to come over and fix it right?

Learn how to fix things yourself you pussy.
