Good investment for 5 years. Didn’t spend a lot on the TV but worth it

The extra 5 years cost me $40 and I think it's completely worth it. It does not cover physical accidental damage. I bought a Samsung TV from Bestbuy and after 4 years of long use via gaming, the power supply went out, something the warranty would cover or if there's a bad HDMI cord.

My LED panel went completely blank causing a black screen just 15 month's after purchase (3 month's after manufacturers warranty) Luckily I paid for the Geek Squad Protection Plan and I've NEVER EVER EVERRRR experienced such kind, knowledgeable, positive and prompt resolution. Being I called in on a Saturday afternoon I assumed I'd have to wait for any resolution until the upcoming week. My BRAND NEW TV will be here today. The following Tuesday of my initial Saturday call.

Would buy again. Treated nicely and fair replacement value.

This protection is very important to me because if a tv is damaged Best buy can replace it, for me it's a good idea

Getting the extra protection is worth it. I recommend it to everyone.

Agents were very professional, able to assist promoltmy!

Geek Squad has always done a good job repairing our electronic devices.

Like a condom for electronics! Protection you need and deserve!

Love it. The best coverage out there. Would add again.

Protect your investments worth the peace of mind much love !

I purchased this protection, but judging from my previous purchases at Best Buy, I probably won't have a need to use it. All of my previous purchases from Best Buy, even from decades ago, no problems were encountered. Thank you.

I always purchase the extended warranty with all my products at Best Buy. Geek Squad are alway professional, prompt and very knowledgeable when dealing with the issues I have had with my products. However the best thing about the warranty is the procedure for replacing repair or just providing you with an in store credit for replacement at the cost you paid for the product if they do not have a comparable replacement.

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 waited for holiday deals and bought an open box-Excellent Oled tv from Bestbuy.com. also bought geek squad protection for five years. within the first month, I realized that the tv screen had some defects. so I scheduled a Geek squad appointment to get it fixed. customer care representative told me that this will be replaced by the company as it is still under manufacturer warranty. on the day of the appointment, instead of coming home to Diagnose the tv Geek squad technician, he called me and asked for the picture of the tv and mentioned it was gonna factory be replaced by Sony. He asked me to pilled the screen from the corner(he thought there was a screen protector screen on the Tv) even after denying him multiple times, he asked me to pilled the screen while I was on the phone. and that made the tv screen break from the corner. and as soon as this happened, they just switched their opinion and asked me to go to the store and get the store credit and return the tv. I spend enough time finding a deal. drove 1 hour to pick tv from the store, and just with this incident, they asked me to go store again and return the tv and get store credit. unfortunately, no one was able to solve this problem on the phone as this was an open box, and neither best buy or geek squad system allowed them to make any arrangements. I felt like I bought a worry under geek squad protection. All I wanted was to get my problem fixed. my tv got fixed or replaced. but not a single gesture of customer service was provided by anyone. Finally, after multiple visits to the store and hours and hours of calls, I returned TV. I would never buy any product from BestBuy after this horrible experience. Returning money is not always a solution Bestbuy. Bestbuy should consider the situation and the inconvenience caused by the wrong instruction of the geek squad technician.

Definitely needed this for my tv, hung it on the wrong mount and it started glitching.

Protection plan for 5 years find it great option, you never know what could happen. Used it before in other articles and they act fast.

Love the geek squad protection! It offers a full protection package and in my opinion it is better than the TotalTech. If you're buying a big ticket item like a TV or any appliance, ask the customer service to cancel your TotalTech from this item and add the geek squad warranty instead. Your TV installation will still be covered because of your active TotalTech. What I don't like about TotalTech is that you have to pay a deductible on certain things... this is like an insurance now...

Can't really provide an opinion yet, as we have yet to use the warranty. Obviously, the product has to break in order to evaluate the extended warranty service. But hopefully the warranted product will never have to be serviced under the warranty period.

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.
