NFT: Exercise equipment and warranty

lpdcan28 : 10/13/2017 1:25 pm

going to buy an elliptical either at dicks or walmart. the reason i consider walmart is the 4 year extended warranty is $50 compared to dicks which is over $150 and only couple years. i would also try and buy similar price range and brand. my question is if any of you bought a warranty like this from walmart and your experience? thanks

I have

And did so for same reason. But nothing has broken, so I can't say how the warranty service is.

You can always add an aftermarket warranty

like Squaretrade independent of wherever you buy the product - just check their website before you do so, and check the reviews on the warranty company to make sure they honor what they're selling.

I looked into Sqaretrade and it was way more than I was willing to pay. I'm generally against extended warranties, but the low price and in home service was attractive for something that can't be brought in for service easily.

Anyway, I went back and checked. Walmart contracts their warranties out to Asurian, which is one of the big extended warranty companiess out there.

thanks
