I got the extended warranty for my toaster oven. I was assured that it covered everything, even if I accidentally damaged it myself. To test that claim, I smashed the oven with a sledgehammer - and the plan covered it!!
Cost of toaster oven: $29
Cost of warranty plan: $19
Cost of time spent on phone dealing with warranty plan company: $12
Cost of postage to ship destroyed toaster oven to service center: $14
Cost of extended warranty deductible in the fine print I didn't read: $15
Cost of postage to cover shipment of replacement toaster over: $14
Cost of internet connection fees to blog about how horrible my experience has been: $20
Total cost for plan replacement of $29 toaster oven: $94
What a bargain!! 🙂
~Now, if only they'd cover the damage to my countertop form when I hit the toaster oven with the sledgehammer. Sigh.~
