extended warranties
Purchased repair plans
Extended warranties are service contracts that extend protection beyond a product's original manufacturer warranty, covering repairs or replacements for a specified period.
Retailers push them aggressively at checkout, though consumer advocates often consider them poor value since most products either fail within the original warranty or outlast the extended coverage: They tried to sell me an extended warranty on a $30 toaster.
