I also don't bother with extended warranties which add to the cost.

John Lewis tried to sell me 'Added cover' for two years. It turns out
this covers accidental damage but not mechanical failure. Therefore
in year two the mainstream warranty has elapsed and you are getting
only accidental damage. This seems to me grossly misleading.

I pointed all this out and the department manager was fairly rude,
inviting me to complain to Trading Standards if I wanted to.
Eventually I gave up trying to get through to them on the phone so I
wrote to JL and got a gift voucher. (I did not pay for any extended
warranty.)
