I don't remember being told anything about 'out of pocket expense'.....and have not received a bill for the warranty work done last month...and the tech said nothing about it-just said 'its all warranty'....so shhhhhhh, be quiet! Our machine is lucky if it gets used 30 hours a MONTH....maybe a couple times a year it will run everyday for a week, or maybe a couple days total....in the last month before it broke, I did maybe 50 pieces total! I have an order now for 24 pieces, shirts, etc. and that's it...but no way would I consider NOT having the warranty....having heard what some of the repairs 'could' run into for $$. And on top of that, the service tech gets $40 per hour ROAD time....not working time....so I'd be out $120 just to get him here and back.
