Home warranty - if you can wait 20 days to get your fridge fixed

Looks like the home warranty my realtor put in the contract is somewhat worthless.  My tenant's fridge was limping along for the last 10 days and finally went out spoiling all their food.  Landmark home warranty offered $100 toward renting a fridge which is basically again worthless.  Apparently they think being without a fridge for 20 days is acceptable.  The only way I would consider home warranties is if I was on site and had an extra fridge and 3 portable AC units that I could deploy the same day.  They were ok for fixing a garage door and a clothes dryer, but anything mission critical - forget it.
