Speed Queen was offering extended warranties as a promo and now has a paid program called Confidence Plus Extended Warranty. Only info I saw on pricing was $299 per machine. That's on top of these seriously expensive machines the TC5 TL is $1,039 and FF7 FL is $1,889. Maytag commercial TL is around $800 and you can get a FL washer and dryer combo for less than the FF7 cost for just the washer. SQ TCF and FF7 are great machines but they're getting out of reach price-wise.
I would be unlikely to pay more than $50 a machine for the extended warranty and know there are issues with extending warranties. If the $299 per machine or even $299 per set they'd have to get it down to $100 per set with purchase for me to consider it. |

You would have thought seeing as they are expensive to buy in the first place that they would have offered a free 5 year warranty with their products or don't they want the risk of too many repairs?
Is it the same with SQ like all other manufacturers they no longer think they can stand by their own products and give their loyal customers something back ???? It seems its the same the world over lets not give our customers anything as they may want more..... Austin |

Last time one checked Miele does not offer a very long warranty for their laundry or other appliances. There used to be something from them in terms of extended warranty, but am not sure if such a thing still exists.
That being said usual advice from most reputable consumer groups is that extended warranties are sort of a con. By and large with appliances what is going to go wrong will do so within first year or so of operation. Then of course there is what exactly one is getting for money spent on extended warranty. Something so limited to be barely useful might see persons better off putting that money aside into an emergency kitty. Happily Amex gold and other credit or charge cards do offer decent to good extended warranty schemes. Thus there might not be a need for something separate at all. |
