Have you ever bought a floor model appliance?
Comments (11)It would depend on the item and the warranty. A washing machine, people will have opened and closed that baby numerous times a day. The motor and such would be in pristine condition because they've never been used. Hmmm, I think I'd go over the cover with a fine-toothed comb and if it were nice and secure, and the warranty would cover anything that did happen to the cover, then I'd get it. I love a bargain....See MoreMiele: Do they ever have US sales promos ?
Comments (13)Just to be clear, definitionally, what you're dealing with is a price minimum, which is set by contract between the appliance store and the manufacturer, not a price control. This isn't collusion between some stores to keep the price up artificially or undercut the standard price to force other players out of business, which would be illegal.. It's a level playing field because all the stores have to adhere to the same contractual minimum. While I was shopping for my kitchen, I did find variations of a few hundred dollars above the price floor, between different sellers. Most appliance stores will give a builders/designers discount to the trade. Many will allow the builder to give his license number but have you do the actual transaction and get the discount. This makes things more convenient all around....See MoreI received the worst shipment of daylilies ever todat
Comments (6)I had not bought from this seller before ad i shall be careful not to do so again. Crushed ice in a bag separate to cool might not have been a disaster. But...on the roots? Rich at CT packs a cold pack, but not ice or liquid and it works well.. This? not so much. But, as Debra says, they are rough, and I expect them to recover with a bit more petting. Contrast the ones Connie at Oak Hill sends...bursting with life, shooting up a new fan immediately and you get this sad result. There are alredy a couple I avoid, this will just be another one. kay...See MoreThe Worst Rain I've Ever Experienced
Comments (23)It is interesting how what is "normal" weather in one place can cause real trouble somewhere else, where things are not set up for it. We had snow and below freezing temps here for 2 weeks once (in the early 1970s!), and it was a mess. They had to drive snow removal equipment down from the Sierras, which took an entire day, and meanwhile many of the roads and freeways were closed. I was just out of college, and my new roommate was from NY, and she was irate: 1) "You told me it didn't snow here!" 2) "Where are the trucks which put salt on the roads?". Your flood made me think of that - 2 inches of rain here is cause for celebration - our minor flooding only happen after at least 6-8 inches of rain in one day. Bad flooding is rare, but the last time it was caused by rain which was dropping 6 inches AN HOUR for several hours in the very middle of the night. All new medium & large construction projects are required to put in "bio swales", which are basically planted areas set up so that they absorb most of the rain, and hardly any runs off. New driveways, etc. are required to be permeable to rain so it sinks in. My DH, a long time ago, worked on our ancient hardscape so that what did not get absorbed by the garden beds and lawns at least would safely run off to the storm gutters &drains along the street. Experiences result in action to prevent problems "next time", but if your next time is several years away, and the bad experience was really not that bad, human nature results in not doing anything about it. The recent earthquake in Alaska was an example of the experience being REALLY BAD (the 1964 quake which was a 9+). The recent 7ish quake caused no deaths and hardly any injuries, which was because they changed the building codes extremely after 1964 - in many places in the world (like the similar one which hit New Zealand a few years ago) the recent quake would have resulted in massive damage, and in some places very large loss of life.
