The 50 Most Influential Gadgets of All Time (Time)
Following up on the appliance discussion: I buy the extended warranties through Sears. You DO NOT have to buy the appliance from Sears to buy the warranty. Perfect example-I bought a high end dishwasher from a local appliance store. The warranty was from Sears. After the manufacturer warranty expired, the dishwasher died. A Sears tech came out to confirm the death, then filed paperwork for me to go to Sears and get a replacement. A credit was placed on my account for more than what I paid for the original dishwasher. I could buy any brand up to the credit allotted. This included installation. My only out of pocket cost was for some hoses, which was less than $20. The only negative was having to hand wash dishes for a month until the new dishwasher could be installed 😉
The more appliances you cover, and the more years you cover them, the cost per year decreases. It may be a large up front investment-I take the 5 year plan-but for me, it’s been worth it.
