L26500 extended warranty – worth it?
What are people’s views on buying an extended warranty for the HP L26500? I usually NEVER buy extended warranties for anything, but as this will be my single most expensive bit of kit, with possibly huge repair bills, is it worth it? I have been quoted £2900+VAT to add 2 year’s extra cover parts and labour to the standard 1 year. How does this compare?
Thanks
John

We went a different route, and used asset insurance instead. We have 2 machines
covered for accidental or intentional damage, fire, and theft. All major parts are
covered, except for consumables, with a £250 excess. It works out about half the
price of a service contract, and you choose who to use as your engineer. -
What happens if it just goes wrong?

Looked at our policy, and we are covered for breakdown as well, but not general wear
and tear. I think this would be the same with extended warranty as well. -
But if you have a problem, how soon will it get fixed if you have to make a claim?
-
how much?
absolutely

We had a head strike last weekend which sent a voltage spike up the head. Hybrid
came out the day after we rang and fitted a new head and cable. All covered on the
insurance, minus our excess. Can be a problem sometimes, as warranty customers
are prioritised, so it’s a chance you have to take, but we are happy doing it this way.
