Default extended warranties on electrical items

I don't take the extended warranty out on anything.

As you say, the first year (or more) is covered and statistically
failures tend to follow the bath tub curve. It will be dead on arrival,
fail soon after you purchased it or fail at the end of its "normal
lifespan" Things like fridges and freezers tend to be very reliable.

Furthermore, if you are that worried about extending a warranty you will
probably find that by shopping around for this type of insurance from a
third party is much cheaper than obtaining it from the manufacturer or
from the retailer from where you purchased the item.
