At the end of one of the isles in Asda there it was, a solitary Servis washing machine at a dirt cheap price. As I opened the door and looked disdainfully at its flimsy build I couldn’t help thinking what an inappropriate place this was to sell washing machines.



Washing machines are expensive to repair but are extended warranties the answer?
Third party extended warranties have changed over recent years and no longer give the type of cover most people would expect, but how many people realise? Many washing machines have been decreasing in price (and quality) for decades but spare parts prices and consequently repair prices have increased disproportionately. Many washing machines aren’t economically worth repairing at increasingly younger ages (the youngest I’ve come across is just 13 months)
