Extended warranties – are they worth it?
Regardless of the machine you are talking about, 99% of the time we would recommend against buying an extended juicer machine warranty. Extended warranties are offered by companies because they are an excellent revenue stream. The companies selling them make a lot of money and there is very little chance that the person buying the extended warranty will ever cash in this little insurance policy.
If your machine is going to have problems they will most likely occur during the retailer’s return policy period or during the warranty period that already comes with machine that you purchased.
It makes more sense to us to take your chances and in the worst case scenario just buy another, brand-new machine. If the machine you purchased is having that many problems you may not want that machine to be repaired or replaced anyway and it may be a better idea to purchase a different model that may be more reliable.
