It is 1/2hp-110v-teather switch included-unlimited warranty.

The key to making the return warranty work is to hang onto the receipt. You know Lowes' does not get into the pump being broken, it just says that it can be returned.

You know, after using them for almost three months, and no longer having any more need due to the warmer temps of April, I probably thought to myself......well....let's go see if they are returnable....because 2 x 68=132 and $132 will buy a lot of groceries at the Plymouth Walmart.

Lowe's must have 100's of thousands of customer experience every year at all their stores, and they make their return policy what it is to help to power up their business. And, their easy returns policy has definately been a factor to get me to be a regular Lowe's customer. Their easy returns is a biz-promo plan and it worked for me........and besides that I did not creat any theft....any misrepresentation.....any deception....or any anything....I made the returns within the rules of their return dept....and used the money for groceries or gas or something.

The #1 rule that everyone should be getting from this thread is to save your receipt!
I give up, not only can the man not read the return policy, he can't do math either. 2 x 68 = 136, not 132.
My guess is that all those local hardware stores you drive by to go to Lowe's all asked you not to return.
I'm out.

....no, no store has asked me to not return and you can find some pretty reasonable prices at Lowe's plus they have yellow tag clearance specials...and off the top of my head the Mass 5% sales tax on $136 would be $6.80......except we do not have a sales tax in NH because it is already built into the local property taxes...which is another big reason why people from Mass haul large purchases like the $277 septic pump from the Gilford Lowe's back to Massachusetts....and.....now....I ask you.....is avoiding the Mass sales tax, like that, any more of a theft than putting the easy Lowe's return policy to work for oneself?
