    Hello,

    The machine I am looking at comes with one year warranty, and I am considering buying a three-year depot repair package ($132). Does it make sense? Is the machine covered for four (one and three) years?

    Thank you.

    When I customize the machine, I have three options:

    (1) Warranty service upgrades (for business use),
    (2) Extended service contracts (for personal use),
    (3) Protection services.

    I think I will choose (2), and three-year depot repair costs $132 while four-year costs $249. So three-year that is. Does it make sense?
