I had a Visor Prism I had purchased from another person with a 2 year Staples warranty. A couple weeks before the end of the warranty the battery crapped out. They replaced it. About a week after the warranty expired it died again. I threw it away last week.

I have used the purchase protection that I get with my AMEX. I had a Dell Axim die after 1 year and a few days, they refunded me the full purchase price.

i have twice. one was for a head unit in a car cd player, and also a stereo/tuner for a house. both times i blew an internal fuse which they replaced under warranty.

depending on the item, it can be a good thing.

i bought it on my 50" DLP TV, i think i'm going to call them and have them focus it shortly here. then right before it wears out, i will have them replace the bulb.

Every extended warranty I have purchased on new American made vehicles have MORE than paid for themselves.

EPoX was nice enough to extend the warranty on my 8RDA+ to 3 years because of the leaky capacitor catastrophe. All I had to do was email them.

Best Buy came out and replaced a busted part on my 48" JVC HDTV. This was just a few months after the manufacturer's warranty ran out.

I used an extended warranty on my microwave. But I did buy the warranty after the fact...

I put a toaster oven too close to the front of the micro and melted the door.

I just used the extended warranty on my TV to get the tuner replaced - was getting a dark/grainy picture, and playing with the controls didn't help. Unfortunately, neither did the new tuner

At least you can call them back and get to the bottom of the issue with that warranty
