Nothing we have been told in this thread suggests that Lowe's
disclaimed the warranty of fitness for purpose when selling
the product to the OP.

On the contrary, the OP specifically asked a Lowe's associate
if the product would perform similarly to similar products
sold by Lowe's in prior years, and the associate told him that
it would. That statement by the associate to the OP prior to
purpose established a warranty of fitness for purpose.

If you have some reason to believe, based on the information
we have been provided, that Lowe's disclaimed said warranty,
then please fully explain your reasoning.

They definitely do that on the web, but I woudl guess in person
purchasers aren't bound by what it says on the web.

Still, it would be a little strange that they do this on the web and
then make no effort to do it in the stores. Maybe that's because
that's the way stores have always been run, and they thought they
could be stricter on the web.

There is no one to consult with when buying on the web. even if
people think the store clerks are no better than no one, myabe lowes
thinks they make a difference. Although lots of people buy things
without talking to anyone.
