Chances are in 5 years who won't need to spend $2000 in any repair on those appliances.  Extended warranties are money makers for the stores selling them.  The sales person receives a commission on each one sold.  Big waste of money.

Desert Lily---I used to be a firm believer in extended warranties but not anymore. The appliances don't last like they did years ago. The average is 5 years. There are too many specifics in the warrranties that I've seen and it really limits your option should some repair be needed. 

I didin't even purchase the extended warranty on the last car that we purchased because it was just too much money.  



I wish I had not bought an extended warranty when I bought my last car.

 

I am still getting phone calls every few days on my cell phone and my landline about my warranty. And the car is almost 10 years old. I turn off my phone most of the time because of the endless calls.
