What is Extended warranty?
In short
An extended warranty is cover sold on top of the standard term, adding more months of protection once the original runs out.
An extended warranty is extra protection bought alongside a device, picking up where the standard term ends and covering faults for longer. On a costly phone or a refurbished laptop it can earn its cost, since out of cover repairs are billed at full price. All five retailers here sell one: ALTERNATE, asgoodasnew, Back Market, Box and Coolblue Belgium all offer extended cover. That makes the choice less about availability and more about what each plan covers and what it costs, so both are worth checking before you add one.
