Another thing to consider is that service contracts usually
include regular house calls for preventive maintenance, which
can often prevent the appliance from failing at an inconvenient
time.  My general rule of thumb is that if the service contract
does not cost more than two service calls, get it (you'll use
at least one for the preventive maintenance).
