People always wonder whether domestic appliance insurance is worthwhile. Domestic and General are the main players in this market.
In my opinion, as someone on an average income with very little 'wiggle room' in my finances, this cover is worth it's weight in gold. I would have needed to replace my washer four times over in the last three years without it.
The engineer is sent out quickly and the problem is fixed quickly. My premiums are reasonable and it gives me peace of mind that an appliance so critical to normal family life is covered without me having to find hundreds of pounds without warning for call out and repairs.
True, your appliance may never break down but, for a couple of pounds a month, I personally believe the peace of mind is worth it.
Domestic and General are easy to contact, friendly and efficient. I highly recommend them.

I have two cats insured through Purely Pets and have renewed with them as I have found them to be reasonably priced for a good standard of cover.
This was proved when I needed to make a claim for my five year old cat. At her six monthly vet check, our vet picked up a strong heart murmur and advised us to get this checked out. This involved booking her in to the local pet hospital for the investigations. It wasn't cheap so we chose to claim. The process was simple and efficient and the staff we spoke to at Purely Pets were kind, helpful and friendly. I was surprised that it was so simple.
I expected her renewal premium to be much higher due to the claim but it only increased by less than one pound.
I would highly recommend Purely Pets. In an industry where customers can, and do, get fleeced regularly they seem to be honourable. I'm not looking to switch my business away from them any time soon.
