Hi-

I'm thinking of purchasing a Ambient WS-2000 from Amazon so that I can get the 4 year Extended Protection Plan for $23.  The protection plan is from "Asurion Lawn & Garden".  They have 43% 5 star and 24% 4 star, 14% 3 star and 19% 1 star rankings for their reviews.  Quite the mixed bag...

Has anyone here purchased and attempted to use this protection plan with a weather station?

I searched all wxforum.net for "asurion" and nothing came up...

Thanks!

I bought my WS-2000 off Amazon because of their return policy and AW's high shipping fees.  If I ever needed to return anything during the 1 year warranty, the slightly higher cost on Amazon would be worth it.  As far as the 3rd party warranty, it's not really a 4 year warranty, it's 3 years, covering years 2, 3 and 4 while the manufacturer's warranty covers year 1. 
I wonder why Square Trade wasn't used?  I've heard fairly consistent ratings from them at least.

I don't buy from Jeff.  He has more than enough money.

And I don't buy into protection rackets.
