If you have a 5 year warranty that is 3 years less than the expected life of the product anyway
If you have a queen size/king sized bed a 3.5 cb ft capacity won't even come close to holding your bedding either
>And what kind of argument is that a product is designed to be profitable for a company
A warranty is not a physical product, it is an insurance policy. Very different things. All you're purchasing is financial stability and they charge a premium for this risk trade. On average, they make money on that bet. On average, the consumer loses money on that bet.

I'd like something larger, but the reviews I'm reading indicate that the 2018 regulations for "high efficiency" make the washers much less good at cleaning, so there appear to not be many good options. The comforter would be the only issue, can I could just take that to a dry cleaner or something. I don't currently use a comforter because I'm always hot.
Warranties are just insurance. Yeah, you'll probably stay healthy in which case health insurance could be a waste of money, but if something goes wrong, it's worth it
Appliances these days suck
But the warranty is up to you
the lowes extended warranty allows you to cash out for the crappy appliances if you have 4 or more issues
within the length of the warranty
> if something goes wrong, it's worth it
And if nothing goes wrong, you wasted money. On average, you wasted money. If it was a good deal on average, the company wouldn't provide it because they'd lose money. I self-insure as much as physically possible.
My parents replaced the fridge they'd used for 20 years with an expensive new one and it broke after maybe a year and a half
I was going to buy a commercial grade washing machine from Speed Queen, but they completely changed their design for the 2018 DOE regulations and now it sucks at cleaning clothes.
Old speed queens are great
Anything new is dog crap
I spoke with reps from just about every appliance company when I sold them
They will tell you to your face
It reminds me of when they put in those idiotic "anti-leak" spouts on gas cans and now I spill far more and the flow rate is stupid low.
I just want a 2017 Speed Queen combo.
Thanks Obama, literally.
>you'll probably stay healthy in which case health insurance could be a waste of money,
Health insurance is a totally different ballgame because it's so heavily regulated and manipulated that it's no longer a simple risk trade like car insurance or extended warranties.
You get charged a higher rate for not having health insurance, which is crazy. And it's tied to everything, not just drastic events. Regular maintenance is still an insurance-related event. It has become a necessity.
a 120$ warranty that lasts about the length of your appliances expected duration that can be partially refunded in the event you never need it, and will of course pay itself off in the event it IS needed is a great deal
Lotteries are a "stupid tax" on the poor.
Car loans, non-health insurance, and extended warranties are a "stupid tax" on the middle-class.
Of course if you don't use it then you think, damn, wasted my money
Ok bro
Call me when your commercial may tag shorts and you have 25 gallons of water sitting in a big metal box that you have to bucket out yourself
If it was, on average, a good deal for the consumer, the provider would be losing money.
Some companies take care of their customers?
You're overthinking this so much
If their extended warranty is priced below the clearing rate, then it's a good deal for me. I highly doubt any company is willing to take a loss on extended warranties in order to buy positive brand image. Positive brand image is targeted by making the default warranty longer.
priced below the clearing rate ?
As in, their payouts exceed their revenues from the extended warranties. Would never happen.
Obviously, but believe me when I say that big stores like depot or lowes arent making much on appliance sales
They take care of you pretty damn well when you purchase appliances there
And the warranty isn't a corporate stupid tax
And honestly, that's pretty damn rude
Yes, I was planning to buy at Home Depot or Lowes, unless it's not offered like a Speed Queen.
I'd buy at lowes because they have free delivery/cheap haulaway of old appliances
Plus they'll price match
You probably just missed the big labor day sale though
No, it's good through Sept-12.
