The obvious benefit of a warranty is that it provides an extra layer of protection in addition to the return policy of the retailer you buy your machine from. For a lot of retailers the return policy might be 30 to 90 days but the warranty will cover you for a year or more if you should receive a defective item. If something breaks you will be able to have the machine repaired or replaced for free, although you may need to pay to have the machine shipped to a repair center.

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.
