GE sold out their appliances to Haier, the low end ones anyway

2018-09-08 18:00:57 UTC  

Free delivery/hookup as well and they'll haul away the old appliances for 20$ each

2018-09-08 19:19:53 UTC  

I’m going to buy this one because an autist tests washing machines on YouTube and this is his top pick.

I never buy extended warranties because they’re designed to be profitable for the company. If consumers, on average, came out ahead with the warranties, the company would raise the price until they’re profitable.

2018-09-08 19:32:13 UTC  

Bad move

2018-09-08 19:32:31 UTC  

And what kind of argument is that a product is designed to be profitable for a company

2018-09-08 19:32:48 UTC  

Of course it is thats how a business operates

2018-09-08 19:33:18 UTC  

Maytags are good. Heres why you need to get a warranty

2018-09-08 19:33:28 UTC  

The mechanical components will last forever

2018-09-08 19:33:50 UTC  

However, all appliances are full of electronics now, those are what shit out on you

2018-09-08 19:34:01 UTC  

One power surge and your 1.1k maytag combo is toast

2018-09-08 19:36:03 UTC  

Also, the top loader with the agitator beats up your clothes. HE's are statistically better at cleaning clothes although I dont know how the tests were conducted

2018-09-08 19:38:23 UTC  

If you have a 5 year warranty that is 3 years less than the expected life of the product anyway

2018-09-08 19:54:23 UTC  

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

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.

2018-09-08 21:38:16 UTC  

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

2018-09-08 21:38:31 UTC  

Appliances these days suck

2018-09-08 21:38:46 UTC  

But the warranty is up to you

2018-09-08 21:39:09 UTC  

the lowes extended warranty allows you to cash out for the crappy appliances if you have 4 or more issues

2018-09-08 21:39:13 UTC  

within the length of the warranty

2018-09-08 21:39:45 UTC  

> 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.

2018-09-08 21:39:56 UTC  

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
