extended guarantee

I have just bought a new Zanussi washing machine and have been offered an extended guarantee to 3 years for just less than £100. Is it worth it (Parts n labour)....?

    They are usually not worth it in the long run.

    Put £10/20 away in a separate account,

    £10 a month is £120 a year saved, in 3 years thats £360. If you dont use it for a repair then you have the £360 to save or spend.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Its 2 years for £100, so £50 a year. £1 a week.


    Will it break down.? who knows, only you can decide.

    Will it break down.?
    Yes it will - usually the week after the guarantee expires irrespective of how long that guarantee may be.
