Extended warranty plans are insurance policies.
You are paying a known quantity of money to
protect against the loss of an unknown quantity.

Insurance companies also make money, yet most
people carry home, car and life insurance.

To decide whether to buy an extended warranties
you have to evaluate the benefits and risks.

I would not buy one on a refrigerator, they hardly
ever fail. I have one on an electronic air cleaner,
and it has well been worth my while.

Many extended warranties include maintenance. It may
not be a bad idea on a VCR, which requires a lot of
maintenance.
