Should You 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.
