I've purchased lots of stuff like this. Tires, appliances, TVs, etc. It's pretty simple and if they're going to let me basically borrow money for free, I'll do it. They tell you how many months you have to pay it off interest free. Take the total price and divide by that number of months. Boom, there's your real monthly minimum payment if you wish to avoid the large finance charge at the end. Ignore the minimum monthly payment on the statement, you won't get it paid off in time using that number.
Agreed, if I can get 0% so long as I pay it off early or on time then I am cool with it. The key is not to spread yourself thin and not be able to keep up. Kind of like people who buy ATV's or Jet Ski's only to have them up for sale a few months later or taken back due to payments not being kept up.
