I just purchased the EPSON 11880 and as I am located in Republic of Ireland, I have to deal with Epson UK on the matter of extended warranty.
This is a very expensive printer, but the additional cost of 3 years warranty makes it even more expensive. Luckily I struck a good deal on a package consisting of installation plus additional training day and 3 years extended warranty for two printers which normally would have been in the region of a whopping 2,700 euros. I got it for a total of 1500 euros.
Taking the extended warranty alone, it breaks down to roughyl 24 euro/month for the big printer and 7 euro/months for the small one, which I consider to be really high but acceptable for a peace of mind solution.
However, comparing that with the 3 years extended warranties of my Mac Pro made me think. The Mac is state of the art as well, 8x 3.0 Ghz, 16 Gig RAM, 5 TB harddrives etc. and the costs for the additional 3 years were only 216 euros, or 6 Euros/months.
So what is your experience on costs of extended warranties?
