Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Love this dryer!

Reviewer-BWD 11/10/2019

I was tired of cleaning my dryer vent, so I searched ventless. Euro versions are too small for our USA standards, but I found this dryer. I know it's rare for USA citizens to have ventless, but this heat pump dryer is large and does a great job. We had to learn to not overfill, but that, this dryer has been a workhorse champion. We use it all day, every day. You have to remember to keep a fan on in your washroom, but sometimes in the winter we just leave the washroom door open and it ends up warming and humidifying the house just a bit (helps in dry Utah). It's very quiet, very ez to use. I still think it's too expensive (one of the highest price dryer on the regular market)... I'm hoping it will give us 10+ years.
