Is the 5 year extended warranty for $161 worth buying?

its the same as buying any kind of insurance. if you can afford to pay a local shop 250-300 to fix anything that breaks at any given moment should something go wrong then no dont buy the extended warranty. if this is a large purchase for you - and coming up with 300 would be difficult - go ahead and get the plan. the last thing you would want to invest a lot in the tv, have something break, and not be able to afford to fix it.-CD

Get the warranty at Costco.. I think it's a much better deal.. $99 bucks for 3 years after the first year being covered by Samsung..

I did not buy the 4-year accidental protection. My thinking is that the probability of damage, loss, theft, etc. is quite low so I tend to "self-insure" for all these types of losses. In that context, I never buy any type of extended warranty be it for a vacuum cleaner, a car or a piece of electronic gear such as a computer or digital camera. I'm in my 70's now and I honestly believe that I'm well ahead given the self-insurance philosophy.

Yes unless the other company you purchase the item from also offers it , they might not, then again you might not need the extended warranty, most units lasts beyond extended warranty.

For the price I was not concerned with an extended warranty. I was not offered one when I purchased it.

The additional warranty would give you 9 years or 10 years of full warranty. I did not buy an additional warranty. If I get seven good years out of mine, then I am satisfied. Not paying $120 for additional warranty.

I purchased the extended warranty, $329 at Best Buy (for 52" 650) for 4 years. The reason I purchased this tv is because my 4 year DLP died, while the tv repair guy was out pronouncing the time of death on my DLP, I asked about LCD repairs. He said you are crazy not to get the warranty, if something, practically anything goes wrong, it is at lease $400-500 to repair it. The final reason I decided to get the warranty is that the technology continues to change and who knows if this stuff will last 3-5 years.

Usually, I do not purchase extended warranty for small appliances under $200. I think it is not worth spending the money

I am not sure i have been told that they have an excellent warrantee and are easy to deal with, yet I have not ever used it. I did not buy an extended warrantee.

I can't say for sure, but extended warranties are available for almost any product and for good reason: they equate to almost 100% profit for the company offering them. Take this from a salesman who once worked very hard to sell extended warranties --because I received 30% of the extended warranty price as a commission. Instead, take the money you would pay on extended warranties and invest it in a savings bond, a savings account, or even a piggy bank and you'll end up more than a few dollars ahead. (By the way...this is a great cooler and we've had it for years without any problems.)

Sony's website (sonystyle.com) sells 3, 4, and 5 year warranties, if you purchase the extended warranty within 60 days of your purchase. The 5-year plan is $289 and grades down from there about $60 per year (4 year plan $229). Still considering it myself!

I agree with the other response, I also bought the extended warranty through square trade for 3 years at amazon

I am not sure u think it has a 5 year warranty. I will say we use ours everyday at work, and I am about to order one for my home.

I bought the 60" version (P60U50). I did not buy an extended warranty as I'm not a believer in them as my thinking has been if something is going to go wrong, it will happen almost immediately.

One year. I bought the extended warranty. It's a super laptop; fast and great value.

I have had mine for 1 year now and it has had parts replaced once. I just received an email that I need to purchase an extended warranty, don't know why, the don't offer one for any of their vacuums (they all include full coverage for 5 years). My only complaint is that they lost my box in their warehouse (I checked the tracking on the shipment), it sat in the warehouse for 2 weeks before actually shipping to me, once I got it and sent the vacuum in they had it back to me within a week good as new.

I normally don't recommend purchasing an extended warranty and don't buy them myself BUT...if you are buying a computer or any other expensive item from Amazon I feel you should buy the best extended warranty you can. I did not do that on the last computer I bought from Amazon and I now regret it. it was a name brand computer that I had excellent results with in the past. Even a good company can sell an occasional lemon.

30 day warranty and then even if brought new you get a refurbished one back. then you can buy the extended warranty from amazon. It's working okay now, but the whole ordeal was a nightmare. To think you pay the extra money and then get a refurbished one back even if it is not 30 days old. and the support from rand McNally is worthless. a bunch of high tech engineers that act like you bother them when you call the rand McNally phone # for support. Giving you a bunch of bs. But with the extended warranty you can get with the square trade is worth it. at least that gives you a addt'l 3 years . 30 day warranty and then even if brought new you get a refurbished one back. then you can buy the extended warranty from amazon.
