When you buy an electronic or appliance, do you get the extended warranty?

Question

Do you really ever use it?

I have always bought the extended warranty, but never used it in all the years of buying expensive items.
I guess they just make you feel like have insurance on it, but really, you never seem to use it.
Oh I'm not cheap!

Answer 1

always, you never know, and I have had to use it on my 360 so glad I got the warranty

Answer 2

Mostly no. The prices for these extended warranty are very high and most of the time the contract conditions are worst.

However, in case of items like laptop or a desktop computer or a high end TV, it's worth looking into it. Read the fine print though.

Good luck.

Answer 3

No I don't. They are not good value.

The fact is that most appliances/equipment fails either very early in its life, usually well within the manufacturer's standard warranty period, or very late.

The failure rate is initially very high and falls to a low rate fairly quickly. It stays low for many many years and eventually starts to rise again, rising rapidly.

Plotting a graph of failure rate in the vertical axis versus time in the horizontal gives a so-called bath-tub curve - high at each end and flat along most of its length.

Answer 4

No, I never get the extended warranty. It seems to me that a new appliance shouldn't need it, and usually I have had no need to use it.

Answer 5

You can purchus an extended warrenty its really only for if your product gets damaged

Answer 6

Hell ya what are you cheap or something mom,why not its a money back or exchange if you mess it up or drop it drunk or something. HA HA that's happen you now

Answer 7

Absolutely not. Prices drop too much. If you think you need it, get a better brand.
