QO is a bit better in quality........homeline is square d's attempt to
compete with the ITE, seimans etc... type breakers.

I wouldnt consider homeline a square d...if you want square d buy the QO

Someone told me that Square-D should be ashamed to put their name on the
"Homeline" line -- that they were cheap crap to compete on price with
the other cheap and crappy brands.

I do.

In a simple four breaker box supplying a cooktop, over the past 12 years, three
of the four SD Homelines have fried so they won't reset.

In fact, as far as I can recall, they've fried on the first time they've had
to trip.

Fuses are cheaper thank you very much.

[Next time one fries, I'm going to replace the whole thing with a Siemens.]

It's not just anyone who gets a Starship Cruiser class named after them.

Yeah, the electrons talk with a funny accent.

[Of course they're compatible. We use the same electrical standards.]
