While I don't necessarily disagree, a plugged drain line will not be covered by the warranty and if a capacitor fails in the middle of summer the 10-year warranty is going to be little consolation while you sit and stew waiting for the repairman to arrive.
I'm on the fence about the checkups. I had them for a while, then I didn't, now I'm thinking about it again. For me it's a relatively small price to pay for some peace of mind.
