Today was a red letter day for us - the Bi-Annual Coffeemaker Exchange.
We don't need a fancy coffeemaker that tells the time or sets alarms, just one that makes our morning coffee reliably. Over the years I've found that NONE of them last very long, including a $120 CuisineArt rig that at least did go 13 months once.
In 2008, four coffeemakers ago, I hit upon the solution. I bought the El Cheapo Mr. Coffee 12-cup model at Lowe's for $19.95 AND I got the extended full-replacement 12-month warranty for $2.97 extra. Today we got our FOURTH new coffeemaker on that warranty, 'cause they won't go 12 months (we bought this last one in September, '09).
The only way I can lose on this deal is if a coffeemaker actually lasts 12 months, and I think that's very, very unlikely. Anyway, if one ever goes 11 months I'm gonna be scrutinizing it very carefully and it better still be perfect in every way - or back it goes.
I got the EXTENDED WARRANTY again today, and this is still on the same $24-something, including tax, I spent in 2008. I'm telling ya, fellas, this the way to go - the Coffeemaker for Life Program.
