Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased my 5 year extended warranty for a Sony 43" TV. The MFGR warranty was for one year (as which they never falter in the first year) and I admit I am skeptical about purchasing additional warranties in general. The "hook" was that if they can't fix it within a reasonable period of time - or I experience the same issue after a repair, BB will replace my set with a new, comparable model. With technology progressing at the current rate and considering the way models change, I figure I'll get twice the performance in a new (replacement) set at about the two year mark - depending on the quality of the product (do your research). Even if it lasts the duration of the extended warranty period, I have the comfort of not having the worry of a set failure for what I consider a very reasonable cost. It's the "you can pay me now, or pay me later" mentality. Just insurance, that's all.

I haven't use the geek squad recently but, in the past they never disappointed me and I'm sure they will not let me down if I needed them again.

As I said in previous reviews, I am lucky enough to have not needed to use this coverage yet, but I am happy to have it there should I need to utilize it in the future. Geek squad is very knowledgeable and competent in knowing how to fix the problem. Should you need to use them for any issues that arise, I highly recommend getting the extra coverage whether you're purchasing a product for yourself or under your Best Buy business account. I have geek squad coverage for my home products and business.

We purchased this extended warranty because of a past experience. We purchased a Sony DLP set in 2007 from Best Buy and took the extended warranty. One week before the extension expired they had to replace the entire video engine. The parts alone were $1,500 and I don't recall the labor but it wasn't inexpensive. We were covered (I don't recall if there was a small service fee or not) and saved 6 to 8 times more than the cost of the warranty. Some say if nothing goes wrong in the first 90 days with electronics nothing will go wrong for many years. Well that's true in many cases and in other cases such as ours we have seen it's not true. You can look at this as insurance and weigh the annual cost of the warranty against the risk that nothing will go wrong. However, consider the fact that when something goes wrong with high tech electronics, especially in large sets, repairs can be rather expensive. It's a personal decision and also depends on whether you have the money or desire to pay up front. It worked for us in the past at least.

For any expensive device that you purchase, it is worth the cost of extended protection when something goes wrong because without that added protection it can cost you as much as you paid for the device and more to get it repaired. For me, it was a 55-inch television. I am sorry, but I can't afford to pay that kind of money just to repair whatever has gone wrong, and if they can't repair the problem, they will replace the television, but only if you have the Best Buy extended warranty.

5 Year Great Price, you always feel that you have no worries for five years.

I would most definitely recommend this!! It’s great to have insurance

Peace of mind from a stand up company….love Best Buy

I am disabled and in a wheelchair, I purchased a 50 inch TV and almost 2 years ago and I thought that if I had an issue with it, but when I called about it they said that due to the size I qualified for in home service. The rep who came was very nice and helpful and answered all of my questions too. I plan to renew my extended warranty with Best Buy and I am happy that Best Buy now keeps a record of all of my purchases so I don't have to keep track of a faded receipt to make a claim on my extended warranty. I also got one for my sound bar and because they didn't have that particular type they said that they they will give me the next upgraded version of what I had.

We always take out the extra protection. Only had to use it once, and very easy process

Good quality products but technology breaks so good to have backup

I have always purchased the Geek Squad protection plans for large purchases. Thankfully I have only had to use it a couple of time, sure glad that I had it. Some people don't care to or say not purchase. I personally always feel better when I do.

This protection is great for 2 years will recommend this to any of my friends

Excellent quality picture. Perfect sound. Highly recommend this tv.

I feel very safe with Geek Squad! They are very knowledgeable! Any problems , they fix!

Excellent service and very sastified with this work

Excellent service! I would recommend. Very helpful!

Geek squad never disappoints. They are able to fix jut about anything.

So glad I paid for this. Our TV stopped turning on after about a year and half of use. Since I got this service they are coming to make sure that it can’t be fixed and if it can’t it’s getting replaced for free! Can’t beat that!

I will not make a purchase at Best Buy for any major products without buying the protection plan. I have replaced a TV before and a refrigerator multiple times. One thing I like about the protection plan is they will come out to your home and repair your items but if it's going to cost too much to repair it there go ahead and give you a gift card or allow you to exchange it for something else. Just so happened this time I was able to exchange it for a cheaper refrigerator because it was Black Friday so I was able to use the extra money left over to purchase a TV. Do not purchase anything without buying a protection plan. There's nothing better than knowing that your items are going to be working for the next 5 years. In my opinion as many items that I purchased as you can see I'm Elite Plus, items are not made like they used to and without protection, i would be out of thousands of dollars.
