Currys Care Plan?

Hi All,
My washing machine has just died after only 2 years. I have decided to get a new one at Currys & am tempted by their 5 year care plan. Has anyone taken this out and does it work?

Don't limit yourself to Currys.
John Lewis is doing a couple of offers at the moment. Five year guarantee on all JL own brand appliances. They also have a Samsung offer of claiming an extra three years warranty on registering your product.
Co-Op Electrical also does good warranties.:hello:0 -
Thanks. I am just sceptical as to whether they really would do all repairs free for 4 or 5 years or whether they would find a way of slapping an extra charge on if you did need to get it repaired?0

Agree with TW, JL are good, I bought their own brand, came with 5 year guarantee plus no quiblles at all with delivery or removal of old one, still going strong without any problems
As TW says, don't limit yourselfNumerus non sum0 -

I do not know for sure, but you would be dealing with a reputable firm that has traded for years and is known for satisafaction, think Waitrose, who are the same folkNumerus non sum0 -
That's a good point! I will take a look. Thanks for your help.0

I've got the currys five year care plan on our cooker. I've never had to use them for a repair yet. But I am certain that they would stick to the terms and conditions of the scheme.
For the cooker you do get a clean every year for the 5 years and I used it for the first time last November. Very satisfied.0 -
I have this for a tumble drier and washing machine and have used with previous appliances. Found it pretty good - no hidden costs but you can wait a few days to get an engineer out. Would buy again0

Stay away from Currys would be my advice
JL perhaps, or a local independent electrical shop
I personally would never buy from Currys unless I was truly desperate0 -
I would compare the price of the washer to the price of the care plan. Over 5 years it might be cheaper to just get a new washer.0

Buy a Miele machine and no care plan. (Mine is 12 years old and no trouble so far.)
They start at £594 at AO.0
