> 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

2018-09-08 21:40:31 UTC  

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.

2018-09-08 21:40:54 UTC  

Old speed queens are great

2018-09-08 21:41:04 UTC  

Anything new is dog crap

2018-09-08 21:41:13 UTC  

I spoke with reps from just about every appliance company when I sold them

2018-09-08 21:41:17 UTC  

They will tell you to your face

2018-09-08 21:41:20 UTC  

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.

2018-09-08 21:41:33 UTC  

I just want a 2017 Speed Queen combo.

2018-09-08 21:41:47 UTC  

Thanks Obama, literally.

2018-09-08 21:43:14 UTC  

>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.

2018-09-08 21:44:47 UTC  

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.

2018-09-08 21:45:34 UTC  

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

2018-09-08 21:45:42 UTC  

Lotteries are a "stupid tax" on the poor.
Car loans, non-health insurance, and extended warranties are a "stupid tax" on the middle-class.

2018-09-08 21:45:44 UTC  

Of course if you don't use it then you think, damn, wasted my money

2018-09-08 21:45:56 UTC  

Ok bro

2018-09-08 21:46:16 UTC  

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

2018-09-08 21:46:54 UTC  

If it was, on average, a good deal for the consumer, the provider would be losing money.

2018-09-08 21:47:12 UTC  

Some companies take care of their customers?

2018-09-08 21:47:30 UTC  

You're overthinking this so much

2018-09-08 21:48:22 UTC  

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.

2018-09-08 21:49:04 UTC  

priced below the clearing rate ?

2018-09-08 21:49:35 UTC  

As in, their payouts exceed their revenues from the extended warranties. Would never happen.

2018-09-08 21:50:09 UTC  

Obviously, but believe me when I say that big stores like depot or lowes arent making much on appliance sales

2018-09-08 21:50:21 UTC  

They take care of you pretty damn well when you purchase appliances there

2018-09-08 21:50:40 UTC  

And the warranty isn't a corporate stupid tax

2018-09-08 21:50:57 UTC  

And honestly, that's pretty damn rude

2018-09-08 21:51:02 UTC  

Yes, I was planning to buy at Home Depot or Lowes, unless it's not offered like a Speed Queen.

2018-09-08 21:51:27 UTC  

I'd buy at lowes because they have free delivery/cheap haulaway of old appliances

2018-09-08 21:51:42 UTC  

Plus they'll price match

2018-09-08 21:52:03 UTC  

You probably just missed the big labor day sale though

2018-09-08 21:52:26 UTC  

No, it's good through Sept-12.

2018-09-08 21:52:31 UTC  

Oh good deal

2018-09-08 21:52:43 UTC  

Yeah that'll be the best sale until the next 4th of July I believe

2018-09-08 21:53:16 UTC  

Plus I need one, the place I'm moving to doesn't have a washer/dryer and the one's I'm using now aren't mine.

2018-09-08 21:54:12 UTC  

What do you think about GE? They sold the company to Haier (Chinese), but they're still make in Kentucky.

2018-09-08 21:57:09 UTC  

GE is solid. Sales are heavily down for them and I think their refrigerators have quite a few quality issues but overall I think their decent.

2018-09-08 21:57:16 UTC  

Buying appliances is seriously a lottery

2018-09-08 21:57:38 UTC  

I had people dish out 2k for fridges/washers and dryers and have them go bad within 2 months

2018-09-08 21:57:50 UTC  

Gross. Even with Whirlpool?

2018-09-08 21:57:52 UTC  

Yep
