Miele T1 extended warranty vs. third party

We have a nearly-new W1 washer/T1 dryer pair. The dryer failed at about 10 months. Getting it repaired has been a slow and infuriating process. Adding insult to injury, our original 1-year warranty will be up in a few days, before it's fixed. I normally don't buy warranties, but my estimate of the likelihood of another failure in the next few years is much higher than it was a couple months ago. According to the local tech, the parts will cost about as much as a new machine. I can buy the extended 5-year warranty from Miele, but I'm wondering if there are any gotchas in their terms, or viable alternatives. I don't think I can warranty just the washer dryer from a third party at this point, but I'm pondering something more comprehensive like a whole-home warranty policy. I'd be interested in experiences with such things.
