Extended Appliance Warranty Pros and Cons

There are many scenarios when it is beneficial to buy an extended appliance warranty. To begin, it makes sense financially. Repairing a $1,000 wall oven can cost as much as $430. Compare that to a 5-year Upsie warranty which costs only $199.99 (Upsie also offers 3-year plans). Upsie’s warranties start immediately and overlap with the manufacturer’s warranty for the first year. They will cover defects that the manufacturer may deny as long as it is within the terms. Additionally, there are no deductibles or service fees, which means the homeowner would save over $230 by getting an Upsie warranty on just one single repair.

Next, an extended warranty is worth it from a peace of mind standpoint. The last thing you want to do when an important appliance breaks is a ton of research to find a reputable repair service, let alone go back and forth scheduling an appointment. Upsie will locate a certified repair shop and schedule an appointment for you. All you have to do is meet the repair technician at your house.
