Given the disposable nature today of what used to be considered durable goods, I always buy the extended warranty. I get the 5 year one. I've had to use it on all of my appliances except for my Speed Queen washing machine. Knock wood. Hope I didn't just jinx myself. You'll have to think it over and decide.

NO!

Appliances Connection is offering a free 3-year warranty (and installation and removal) on both the Bosch WAW285H1UC washer and WTW87NH1UC dryer so I'd take advantage of that.
