My Maytag dishwasher and front loader washing machine, and my Asko
dishwasher all broke after the warranty was over but before an extended
warranty from Lowes would have ended had I bought one. On expensive
appliances like a $1600 refrigerator, and a $1200 dishwasher, if some one
will sell me an additional 4 years coverage for $99 I'll take it considering
that typical repairs these days are around $300.

years of coverage so I've been buying my appliances there lately. Most
stores want $250 or more for same coverage.

The problem with that is that most appliance failures are either during
the original warranty period or after five years.

Usually if something is going to fail within the first five years, it'll
fail in the first few months.
