. Home despot will often ask/force their vendors to take an existing
product
and make it cheaper to meet a price point without changing the external
appearance.
Makes it seem like you're getting the same product cheaper at HD but in
fact it may
not be the same product inside.
Case in point... a few months back H.D. advertised a Dewalt pressure
washer...Honda engine and Cat brand triplex pump
3100 psi 2.8 gallons about 150 bucks off reg price.
I had been looking at this same machine the week before but the price was a
little high.
When they went on sale I went down to get one. I drug one box off the
pallet and looked inside...
it was not a Cat brand pump but a cheaper chinese made axial pump. I kept
pulling boxes down
and finally found one (probably old stock) that did have the Cat triplex
pump.
The ad showed the triplex... but the sales chimp said "this is what we got"
Buyer beware.
