3-Year Replacement Plan Under $5: Worth It?

Quick answer

For just over a dollar, Sphero's 3-year replacement plan covers eligible accessories under $5. It's a low-risk way to avoid unexpected costs, but only if you tend to lose or break small parts.

Should you buy it?

• Cost vs. coverage: At $1.21, the plan costs less than a single replacement item. If you need to replace one accessory in three years, you break even.
• Peace of mind: The plan covers replacement for three years, so you don't have to worry about tracking down a specific accessory later.
• Limitation: Only applies to items under $5.00. For more expensive robots or kits, you'll need a different protection plan. Check the item price before adding this plan to your cart.
