Extended warranty
Posted on 1/17/09 at 5:59 pm

So I buy a couple of water filters for the fridge (they actually do a great job of making tap water taste much better). They are supposed to be changed every 6 months. I am offered an extended warranty on them good for 3 years. Should I have accepted or is fricking with corporate America a pointless pastime? Prolly the latter.

They offered you a 3 yr extended warranty on a item with a life of 6 months ? That is fricked up

i never get extended warranties. i usally buy better stuff (like Toyotas) because they last longer anyway.

I think you would be wasting your money, they would probably tell you it covers three years of shelf life or six months of use, whichever comes first.
I had a vehicle with a three year warranty, but the battery was a five year duralast(in big letters on the battery). When the vehicle was four years old, the battery went out and Duralast wouldn't take it back because the car warranty had expired.
If you turn down every extended warranty ever offered to you, you will come out way ahead.

do you also buy insurance at the black jack table when the dealer has the ace ?

I have never bought an extended warranty which takes some persistence these days when buying expensive electronics. It just struck me as bizarre to be offered a 3 year warranty on an item with a 6 month life. I agree that there are weasel words in the contract somewhere that would make it impossible to collect. There are companies these days that are only profitable because of the extended warranties they sell.
