Hello folks: I plan to buy a Sub-zero fridge and two Wolf cooktops (one induction and one gas for wok cooking). These come with a 2-year warranty. The retail shop asked if I wanted to purchase extended warranty for another year. Is this worth it? Service in my area is available for SZ. Pls let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
the Subzero products do not have a stellar reputation - a five year extended warranty would be worth it.

If you are looking for opinions, I’d say buy a five year extended warranty on any refrigerator!!
I went through “REFRIGERATOR H-LL” about 2.5 years ago. What a complete mess!! Any who, I figure when the 5 year extended warranty is up, I’ll have to purchase a new fridge – I’ve already started a “sinking fund” for the next one.
As a side note, please CAREFULLY read the purchase agreement. In some cases, you only have 48 hours to return a defective refrigerator to the store, after that you have to go through the manufacturers warranty process – which can really be a pain.
I purchased an LG fridge from Home Depot. The first “brand new” fridge they delivered couldn’t keep a cold temperature. Luckily, I had a fridge thermometer and took pictures of the issue. I went back to the store 24 hours after it was delivered, so I was still within the 48 hour window. The second one is still working, but I know 5 years and 1 day after it was delivered – it will crap out.

Thank you. I also had an LG fridge. It was a real piece of junk.
