well i hope youv'e got plenty of money for the call outs then

what is it now about 60 pounds.

i used to love hotpoints always carried plenty of carbon brushes for the motor and bearings and spider for the inner drum for when it got noisy a bit on spin.

and as for the extended warranty being a con my toshiba tv that i'd had for 4yrs and 7 months went wrong and couldn't be fixed. glad i had the extended warranty, mastercare gave me a credit note for the original purchase price 1500 quid.
i am now the owner of a new tv dvd recorder and a digital sound surround machine all thanks to mastercares extended warranty.
so i'm afraid i disagree with you there the extended warranty worked for me.
