In my case, I always consider if it is economically viable to just replace an object if it should break outside of warranty. If not, I'll get the extended warranty or something like it.
€129 Kindle: Nope... would just replace it.
€200 KA1: Nope....
€2150 workstation class laptop: hell yeah. I'd not even consider it if it didn't come with a 5 year next business day warranty.
My (digital) piano has 10 years warranty straight from the manufacturer, just like most acoustics, so you can imagine the price bracket it was (is) in.
And that's not because I break things, but because sometimes, things just break.
