That was the point I was trying to make. My wife was the one who
actually bought this mower. The "salesman" at the Lowes assured her that
no matter what, they would take care of her if she bought the warranty.
Smelled like hell of someone thinking "here's another ditsy woman.. I
think I boost my commission" (no, I have no idea if Lowes employees get
commission or not).

We bought a lawnmower from Lowes (for my mother-in-law) and bought the
extended warranty (as it was claimed to be all-inclusive, fix any
problem at all). Well... the mower broke (hard start/rough running)
THREE WEEKS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT and when she took it back they gave her
nothing but grief and wanted to charge her $25 to fix it. It was an
absolute debacle and took a few heated exchanges before they made right.
I'm sorry for your awful experience, but I hope you recognize that it
had nothing to do with a store-sold extended warranty. Within three
weeks it would surely be covered by the manufacturer's regular
warranty -- maybe, even, by the implied warranty of merchantability.

Yeah but... if they hassle you on the regular waranty after three
weeks, just imagine the runaround you will get on the extended
warranty after three years.
