What you say about the quality of the unit not being up to par could be very true, however I read the warranty information from the one I purchased from the factory warehouse and one from Home Depot and they read the same word for word. If that is the case how can one really go wrong. You may say , well it will work for the warranty period, but then it will fall apart. I don't really think that would be the case. I believe the units would have to meet all standards and if they are rebuilt or reconditioned units they HAVE TO SPECIFY THAT.
