White goods insurance

White goods are cheap - there is little point taking out insuarance on them.

If the items don't last 5 years or more then don't buy that make again!

When buying from big stores (Comet,Miller Brothers etc), try negotiating with them to include the extended warranty free! I have done this successfully two or three times.

I wouldn't bother to be honest, the amount of money you will pay out would work out to a brand new appliance twice over..Your appliance normally would last it's lifetime anyway..it's not worth it..

All
I've been approached by BG to take on cover for the above. Before I say yes does anyone know where else I might get a competitive quote for this at all please?

Thanks

Guys - I know this is very unlikely but are there any 'reasonable' 3 - 5 year extended warranty deals for items such my Zanussi washing machine I bought yesterday with a standard 1 yr guarantee ? Cheers

I find the prices for this are really exorbitant... i did once find a company who insured my PC for a quarter of the price quoted by the shop, but now need insurance for tumble-drier, washing machine etc as original guarantees have just expired. Could anyone advise me please?

Yes you're right the insurance is vastly overpriced so put the money in a separate account for appliance repair/replacement and forget about insuring the washing machine etc.

However, I never buy extended warranties on the top of extra 1 year that I have free when I pay with my Nationwide credit card.

I insure TVs etc through insurance broker https://www.portwood.co.uk who have an AXA policy that covers individual items or blocks of similar goods all at prices nothing like those offered by retailers when you buy goods, or begging letters asking you to extend warranty you receive when 1 year guarantee expires. It's worth looking at Portwood's web site at their household items insurance prices.
