But I just looked at the " renew" - its a case of they will either
give me a refurbished model or vochers for the estimated value of
the machine towards a new one.

Anyone had an insurance like this? Is it worth waiting or should I
just dump the machine and buy a new one ?

Ten year old DW that leaks, not worth much even if it didn't leak
£25? Most of the appliance insurances really aren't worth the
premiums. Better of putting the cash into an interest bearing "Rainy
Day" account.

I know OH wont like it, but what I do when shopping is my business
and I will go and do overtime to pay for it if necesary.

"Rainy Day" funds are for this sort of sudden expense aren't they?

There is a time for throwing in the towel. I avoid insurance but then I fix
most things myself. Having said that I also value my time, and if my 10
year old dishwasher started leaking, I'd be tempted to buy another. A year
ago I bought one of eBay for £110, it was new and still wrapped in
cellophane.
