Extended warranty - bad list.

Your credit card doubles the manufacturer warranty for free.

There is a reason the commissions on extended warranties are in the neighborhood of 50%. They are cash cows.

ok so you are saying do not get the extended warr on a $9000.00 frig and a 7,000 dollar range ??

We have the first two years with Wolf and Sub Zero and then we were going for a additional 3 years parts and Lab.

what am i missing

I have a vent a hood and would not recommend it (louder than i like) and is not commensurate with the quality level of the other components you have listed. My $.02 I also agree with the extended warranty comments but believe that for the built in it may pay off. (I bought one despite knowing its the wrong thing for a 48" thermador)

While I'm not certain if the warranty is the same in Canada as in the U.S., down here Sub Zero refrigerators come with a full warranty for the first two years. Beyond that, the closed system, meaning the compressors and cooling coils (the only major parts likely to fail) are fully covered under warranty (parts and labor) for the first 5 years. Beyond 5 years, up to 12 years, the closed system has a limited warranty covering all parts (labor not included).

That's about as good a warranty as you're going to get on any major appliance. It seems to me that if the warranty is the same in Canada, paying for an extended warranty on a Sub Zero is a waste of money.

Just my two cents.

i WISH i had gotten the extended warranty on our old sub zero.
it definitely needed it. dh thought i was having an affair with the service guy. ;*(

Its funny how you have to buy the warr up front when you purchase the appliances and not at the end of the factory warr. ?? Why is that ! Pay now for somthing you do not need for two years ?

If you will be spending this much for appliances I would look for a better venting system than the Vent-a-Hood. The dual blowers will be noisy. Check out the Fan Tech line which are both quiet and remarkably efficient.

Have the store give you the extended warranty for free in lieu of a discount on the price fixed Wolf and Sub Zero especially as you are buying all your appliances from the same dealer. Ours did although our price fixed items were all Miele but same concept.

As to the hood, are you putting the blowers outside? If so, then noise is no longer a factor.

No I was putting the blowers inside ??

I think in Lue of the warr. I am going for the Full Extention Ball Bearing Oven Racks from Wolf,
For the DF-304 range

Hi tvptvp,

I too am looking to purchase appliances from (probably) Tasco within the next 2-3 weeks. I am wondering if you would recommend your sales guy (and location). This might help you with your deal and me as well. I am looking to spent 15-20k on my appliances.

Thanks.
