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

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.

I got mine about when you did. Mine still working fine. Did it drop or fall harder than normal? Email seller see what they can do.

I bought it for $989 from amazon on July 20... so it has been pretty low, but this $1099 is decent. After having it for 1 1/2 months I would pay $1099 without blinking. Go to squaretrade for a great warranty deal on it also.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

You're right, the price fluctuates frequently and randomly. I snagged it about 4-6 weeks ago for $550 free shipping (although not 2-day) and of course, no tax. But there seems to no reason or pattern to their price of the unit. I recommend patience to save a couple hundred dollars -- if you can wait it out.

Personally, I follow the philosophy/advice I learned years ago from Consumers Report magazine..."If the item sells cheap enough, consider it an eventual throw-away item" and save your money for its' potential replacement, rather than purchase an extended warranty...This is a quality machine and I have no regrets whatsoever.....Caveat Emptor.

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.

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.

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

I'm not a fan of extended warranties, but I bought one for this TV. It's a major purchase, and could be very expensive to fix in the unlikely event something did go wrong. I paid about 13% of the purchase price, but I saved 37% on the purchase price when I bought from Amazon. I still saved 24%, so it's peace of mind to me.

The price seems to be the lowest when there are only a few(1-4)models left. I bought mine last week when Amazon only had three left and the price was about $80 dollars less than today. I have noticed this before that when they get a new shipment the price is $2000 and when only a few left it goes down to $1800.

I bought it yesterday at 2:45p.m. at the $949 price and this morning i checked it a 7 a.m. and it was down to $899. Think I can get the $50 difference from Amazon and have it refunded to my CC?

I bought it too but didn't open it yet, looking for non bogus reviews...if these reviews are bogus i'd like to know what the quams are with this product (2030).

I would expect that the closer you get to Black Friday the better the price will be become. I am keeping a close eye on this model myself. Just this past weekend it went from $1009 to $1004 to $999 in the span of a day or 2. Not much of a decline but a downward trend. If you can wait Amazon may have this a Black Friday special. If not the price should still be lower than it is now. Hope this helps!

I'm going to buy one in about 15 minutes myself. I've seen prices around $340-$350 elsewhere online, but Amazon seems to have the best deal at this time.So, good luck with yours. I hope I dont' get any of the buzzing (seems due to PS3, etc) or heat issues.This unit seems to be the sweet spot for us mid-range users with high expectations. This is my wife's Christmas present for me :=)Tony

Excaliber, and the other vendors, have also been monkeying with prices. I'll wait until Amazon, Newegg, and/or Best Buy get stock in. Any problems will be RMA'd faster.
