Consider Extended Warranties
For more expensive and complex products, purchasing an extended warranty beyond the standard manufacturer warranty can give you greater peace of mind. Here are some factors to consider when deciding on an extended warranty:
-
Cost – is the price of the extended coverage reasonable compared to the benefit you would receive? Is it a good value or not worth the cost?
-
Length – does the extended warranty period align with the expected lifespan of the product? Enough to protect you?
-
What’s covered – does it cover repairs, replacements, or only certain components? Are shipping costs included?
-
Limitations – are there caps on number of claims, repair costs, geographic restrictions? Read the fine print.
-
Reputation – is the retailer/insurer reputable? Do they have a track record of honoring claims? Good customer service?
-
Cancellation policy – can you get a refund if cancelling the extended warranty? Factor this into the cost.
-
Comparison shop – check prices from different sellers as coverage and prices can vary widely.
For expensive electronics like TVs or laptops, the extra protection is likely worthwhile for 2-3 years of coverage. For lower cost items, self-insuring by saving your own repair fund may be better.
