All protection plans are a rip-off. Even if something occasionally goes bad and you have to replace it, you come out ahead in the long run by not buying "protection plans."

I spoke to Honeywell (Ed) at the number in the warranty statement and was told that Honeywell will honor the stated warranty period, either 1 year for the 9580 or 5 years for the 9320, for thermostats purchased through online retailers. The warranty statements for the two devices differ only in the term of the warranty, and are otherwise identical. Ed had consulted with his supervisor before answering my question, and added that this was a "new" position for them. If the device is defective, it will be covered.

Lauren,IMO I would just get the $200-$250.00 plan. It's still covered for 3yrs against defect and replacement.Hope this helps.

I did not buy the 4-year accidental protection. My thinking is that the probability of damage, loss, theft, etc. is quite low so I tend to "self-insure" for all these types of losses. In that context, I never buy any type of extended warranty be it for a vacuum cleaner, a car or a piece of electronic gear such as a computer or digital camera. I'm in my 70's now and I honestly believe that I'm well ahead given the self-insurance philosophy.

I would have to agree with Gordon. I really don't completely understand it either. As I understand it you are correct. The plan covers replacement of the item covered. I would call and find out. I haven't had time to call...

In Australia we have the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) And they state that all Consumer purchased goods have a 3 yearwarranty....Reasonable lifetime of purchased goods. The store must assist in fixing or replacing the goods if found faulty within that time....cheers Tony.

I bought the warranties having just 'lost' two computers that weren't under warranty and the parts to fix them were no longer available. I bought them simply for the replacement value. I can't speak about Smart Guard because I don't remember what their warranty did and did not cover, but extended warranties are generally a poor investment. They know how long the product will last and their warranty periods take that into account. I understand you also have to fight them; they accuse claimants of mis-use, etc. I find it telling that you can't read Smart Guard's waranty prior to buying it, and after purchasing, it takes a while to get via the 'Net, giving you little time to 'return it'.

Frigidaire has a great warranty program the a/c unit comes with 1 year and then you can pay for an additional 3 years and you can keep paying for additional 3 year increments for up to 15 years for a total of 16 years of warranty although I'm not sure how much you pay for those 3 year increments but I think there somewhere between 35 to 60 dollars for a total of 525 to 900 dollars when it's all said and done . Hope I was helpful in answering your question . Have a blessed life

Just like any electronics 1 year manufacturer defects, register with Panasonic (instruction comes with tv) for added in home protection. I would and did spend the 300 for square trade for 5 year in home as well. I did so because that way I font have to worry about it for that long w in home service because I saved more than that buy purchasing it through amazon. Its an amazing tv cnets top reviews ever Google the settings for it and put them in when you get it, you will have to do so for each input DVD, cable, etc.

Don't know. I almost never get those types of agreements, especially on relatively inexpensive appliances. If it's defective, return it for a refund or replacement. If it breaks, buy a different one. In the long run, I'm sure you'll make out better.

I would consider square trade on amazon instead..almost same price but for 3yrs coverage and a better track record than smart guard.Actually, BBB has lots of complaints that were resolved by refunds of the coverage- hence they keep their A rating, but don't pay out claims.

Yes you can get protection plan from Square Trade warranties, terms will depend on length of warranty and price you paid for your item.

I just purchased this computer system a couple of months ago. I have never had to use this plan. However it is nice to know that you have such a plan if you can afford it. I purchased a plan for a Sony Bravia 46' TV in 2008 and I did need the protection plan but got busy and just missed out on the expiration date. But that was a $2,000 TV at the time. Like I said it all depends on your cash if you can afford to get the plan or not.However in 2004 I did buy the extended waranty on my 2004 Honda Accord and thank God I did because they had to replace the transmission a few months before the warranty expired. So it all depends on the item and your personal finances. When I was really watching my pennies I would never buy any warranty.

I believe the 3 year extended warranty you're looking at is a warranty offered by some kind of third party warranty company. A lot of companies offers additional coverage such as "squaretrade" I would highly recommend getting an additional warranty on those laptops. Just so that you're completely aware of how those third party warranty companies do business, you might want to do the research on their coverage when it comes to something really happens. Some times they do take care of their customers and some times they decline the claim that the customer make in the event a laptop . I hope that was helpful.

most manufacturers will give a one year warranty. The three year warranty would come from the distributor. You would need to verify through them. The one year warranty you would still need to verify through a serial number of the unit through KitchenAid. I work on commercial cooking equipment every day and it is all in the serial number. You would need that and contact both involved.
