why is the warranty different when you order from amazon vs. sams, home depot or lowes?

I'm not sure .Unless the the unit was damaged from the start, it says to take it to authorized Simpson repair place. I did not realize there was any difference in the length of warranty either way.

Just a guess, but I suspect this is how the manufacturer protects their direct retailers while still allowing discounters like Amazon sell their products at significant lower prices. This model is $150 more at Lowes as of spring of 2014

Simpson does not provide a warranty, Amazon has to provide the warranty for Simpson power washers. That is the reason I didn't buy one, Amazon is great but if Simpson can't back their equiptment I don't want it!

Home Depot and lowes are a rip off. They may be cheaper because its not the same product. They just pay Makita so they can sell them . It's a knock off brand made to look like Makita.

The warranty is the amazon 30 day warranty. Beware though, that the seller will not help you if it's b even longer. I had to google the manufacturer and emailed them several times and never got a response.

I think the warranty is threw amazon. This is the second one I bought in 3 years because I ripped the first one.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

I have only used the Shulte products. I have seen the generic in Home Depot and Lowes and wondered the same. They both have easy return policies. I would by one of a couple different attachments I wanted and if the work great if not an easy return. Roger

And to debunk some of the misinformation on this thread - there really is no difference, or "peace of mind" by buying it from Apple or from Amazon.com. Warranties, just like EVERYTHING, is the same. Amazon is an authorized Apple reseller, just like BestBuy and many other places.In addition, PeggyA didn't seem to know, but yes, you can buy Applecare from Amazon. I THINK you can even buy Applecare after you have had your computer for some time, though I could be wrong on this.

I think it only comes with a warranty if you buy it direct from the company, not from Amazon.

THIS WAS JUST AS CHEAP AT HOME DEPOT...Check there BEFORE you buy...I don't remember about warranty, you might want to call shipper

I don't think it is a warranty issue but a quality issue . Just the luck of the draw when you buy online without trying the product yourself! Good lesson learned for myself . Not all people have the same standards I guess .

I don't recollect exactly, but I would assume that any type of home electronics would have some type of warranty against defects for some time period. I certainly plan to hold amazon accountable for this with their vendor (shopjimmy) if something were to go wrong within the next 12 months.

i believe it is just a naming issue (different sellers on Amazon labeled them differently). They are equivalent products.

Mine say "FULFILLMENT BY AMAZON Amazon warehousedeals" in which case I think it's a bit more reliable than "just a 3rd party vendor". I've had success with them, but I haven't bought too many times from them. I think J. Bevier's response is right *if* it says that ("Amazon warehousedeals" etc.)

if u go onto the Home Depot website it says that it has the same lifetime warranty
