I'm wondering if I should purchase this now due to lowered price,but concerned about testing&warranty issues/Or if wait until Fall, price increases?

I guess that's your choice. I love one. It works well and I didn't have any problems with the huge snow storms we got

I love this snow blower for what it is -- cordless for light snowfall. I had no issues at all with it. Obviously, warranty concerns are valid as it won't be used for many months, but you can unpack it, set it up, charge the battery and insure that it runs. If it doesn't run you can return/exchange or deal with warranty repair.

I can't tell you when to purchase the Snow Joe, but I love the product. It is effective for snow falls up to 6 or 7 inches with a charge that lasts at least 35 to 45 minutes. There charge is very quick.

I paid the 399 for mine last year. In fact I was so pleased with it's performance I bought a second one for my sister's family. Neither of us had any problem whatsoever. They had a real workout too with the winter being the worst in 20 years. It is the greatest machine ever!

We had no problem at all with the Snow Joe this past winter,except when the street plows had put a double load at the bottom of the driveway.A bit slow over 4" deep but it managed by taking a smaller path and going over twice.

That's your preference. With the battery-powered lawn mower, one additional season brought a more powerful mower on the market. Perhaps that will also happen with the snowblower and you might prefer the more powerful, and perhaps more technologically advanced, one.

So far this has performed as designed, for levels of snow up to about 4". It is durable and reliable. If you are thinking about buying one, and the price right now seems preferable, it may be wise to do so rather than wait. If you wait until the first snow the price of most snow blowers will have increased.

I would buy now and take advantage of lower price. If the unit is reconditioned, then the testing and warranty come into play. However, Amazon has given me good service on things like returned items, without any problems.

First, I will stick my neck out and say the price will probably not go over $400. It's already somewhat overpriced due to the novelty and unique nature of a cordless blower. Read the reviews - nobody likes the price. BUT everybody likes the machine, myself included. You can get it now and test basic functionality. The rest is your choice, it is only $18 difference. I will say that with this last Chicago winter, I rode this thing all year and it never once disappointed. Left my 5 horse gas monster in the garage.

It is a fancy snow blower, but you can buy a better one for the same price. I returned it and bought a Toro for the same price. It is more powerful

Yes the price should be lower. I believe the price is staying up because it was recently top rating at Consumer Reports.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

I have the same QUESTION, AMAZON ! Also I want to know when you found out about this problem and the changed the name of the saet by adding the word " HARNESSED " and dropped the price of the to $64 .00 from $ 88 .00 for a defective model ???? WORDS can not describe how I feel right now !!! I'm thinking of getting a lawyer AMAZON and it's YOU that has me thinking that way. Be assured that my spending on your site is at an end ! I'll be telling everyone I know ... and then some !

Wow, glad you mentioned this, I'm thinking of buying this. It's now $85. Amazon's pricing for many items does fluctuate, and sometimes quite a bit. It will likely decrease again, not sure when though. You just have to check for it as often as you can until you catch it.

I normally don't recommend purchasing an extended warranty and don't buy them myself BUT...if you are buying a computer or any other expensive item from Amazon I feel you should buy the best extended warranty you can. I did not do that on the last computer I bought from Amazon and I now regret it. it was a name brand computer that I had excellent results with in the past. Even a good company can sell an occasional lemon.

p_r, I've posted on the "Conned" thread regarding your purchase...Yep, a return is in order. Btw, I've got mine (Japan) early October for $348 + shipping...the lowest price I've seen that time.Could the recent S5 price drops the past month or so has to do with the onslaught of "Chinese" issue S5s'? (Yipes!)

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part.I guess January has become gouge month or something.

Not too sure, I buy the extended warranty so I never have to worry about it. I recommend you do the same!

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

I'm waiting for the Amazon price to go down again (The price went up 60%), I was wondering if they are a new batch of the item, but still doesn't make sense. I don't like dealing with their marketplace sellers, Amazon stands behind the product they sell.

I just checked and was told that for the holidays they have extended the period to purchase your warranty until January 31st. So you should still be able to purchase. Contact them (I did it by chat), give them the serial number of the device and they will confirm and even provide a link.

I just bought this TV yesterday and noticed it went up a couple $$ today. Don't worry about the timing though because Amazon has price guarantee for 30 days. They'll refund you the difference (is what I've read) if the price goes down within the 30 day time frame.

Just call customer service. The price has dropped twice since I purchased this television earlier this month, and both times they credited my account when I called. They have a 30 day price guarantee, so if the price drops again within 30 days, be sure to call and get your additional refund!

Yes, I realize this... I saw the price back in mid July as well but didn't order it then because I wasn't ready yet. I'm wondering if the price will every go back down to that... and my guess is that it's not likely... I see it from $1900ish area. I think it's too popular of a TV for them to drop the price now.

I purchased this TV from Amazon on Oct 31, since then the price has dropped significantly 3 times. Each time I have contacted Amazon customer service, and have been credited with the additional savings based on its current sale price. As of Friday, I have been refunded over $400.00 off my original sales price!The 2 pieces of advice I offer are; First purchase the TV, it it truly outstanding .. Second, contact Amazon for a sales refund the moment you notice a lower price to insure you receive the refund (if you wait a day, the price may increase again.)I hope this post helps, and I hope you enjoy your new Samsung LNT5271F 52" as much as I do!

It is possible the people who purchase this was not able install it, may have trouble install it, maybe some comedic look is defective or it not what they thought. So we may not really know why it was return for what ever their reason is. The seller could resell it with a discount instead of a full price. For me you are saving a few bucks which a good way to go. I would think you should be ok and the warranty should be still being applied. It would be best to talk to the seller to ask them what is wrong with it and the warranty still apply.
