yellowjeepster Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 I posted this under the bf ad post but haven't gotten a reply so thought more ppl would see and give me advice here. I am wanting one of the washer/dryer sets and was wondering if I should get the extra warranty? I have heard that Sears' warranty plans are very high. Can I buy a warranty on a Kenmore product anywhere else? Should I even buy the warranty?
bigjimslade Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 For me personally I always buy the extended warranty on big items like the washer. You never know when it may go down and when it does it always seems to at the wrong times. Sears is very good about how fast they come out for any problems you may have under the extended warranty.
happysunshine28 Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 We got the warranty on our washer and dryer from sears. They just dont last as long as they used too. I think we got the 3 year one, but have the option to extend that later, we talked about doing just the washer after the 3 years.
yellowjeepster Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 It really stinks that things don't last as long as they use to and everything costs MORE. I think we should get the extended warranty but hate to spend an extra $380+ b/c we can't rely on products. What happened to the day that regular warranties covered things and you didn't have to pay extra for something that should work? Still have to talk DH into buying the warranty b/c I know that if we don't something will be wrong w/it, lol.

If he is against it maybe he wouldnt mind as much on the washer, seems like washers mess up faster than a dryer.
Rockfordmom Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I bought a dryer from them 16 months ago and am wishing that I bought the warranty! They usually aren't that expensive when you buy the item, when that warranty runs out (in 3 years) and they try to get you to buy another one, that is when they get expensive.
kelly558 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 when i went in it was 150 for a three year but that was each now that i think about it.
peppysfireball Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I never buy them. My wd set is 21 years old and still running fine. When It breaks down, I order the part and my husband fixes it. I've never spent over 40 at one time on it. I have read in different articles, that it is not a good idea. I bought a tv on Sunday and they push the master protection plan which is 180 telling me it fixes things regular warranty doesn't. I read that if you want a warranty get a square trade one. I went on there and they quoted me 69 for same year warranty and on here somewhere is a 20% off code for black friday.
yellowjeepster Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 I am not buying the Kenmore w/d at Sears. I already bought basically the same one at Home Depot, LG model. Only paid $150. for a 4 yr. extended warranty that covers both. Sears can have their high prices on warranties and they have lost my business b/c they said they wouldn't honor their Price Protection policy. I feel better getting the extended warranty on these b/c they don't make products like they use to. With all of the electronics and such on things there is more parts and components to go wrong and it's just more likely than in the old days.
peppysfireball Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 You can buy a square trade warranty on anything. Today is 40% off link in online deals. It's only 53 for my new led tv.
