Beg to differ...if the less expensive model meets your needs and gets
the job done for you, why pay more for bells and whistles you don't care
about?

As for warranty service convenience...that's pretty much a non-issue. I
mean when was the last time you heard about a leaf blower/chain saw/lawn
mower, etc., needing service during the one-year warranty period?

The problem for me was the less expensive model did not meet my needs as
far as lasting. It worked fine for several years, then the transaxel
went out. Many on the internet had the same problem at about 300 hours,
the mower had a run time meter.

That mower also was defective in that it would not run but about 100
feet. Being a riding mower and at the time I did not have a truck, the
dealer had to come and get it. I doubt that Lowes would do that.

I did buy a weed eater from Lowes and could not get it started. Took it
back and they did exchange it for another new one.
