Home Depot's business plan is to make the customer happy any way they
can. I've had some nice experiences there over the years. While I
was in Connecticut I bought a 3.5 HP snow thrower from them. It
worked OK the first year but half-way through the second season it
crapped out. I took it to the shop they recommended and got it
serviced. It worked OK for about a month and something else failed.
The following year (well past the warranty period) I had more trouble
with it so I thought I'd call and ask if there were problems with
that model.
The customer service person asked if I could bring the snow thrower
in so I loaded it onto the 4Runner the next Saturday and drove over.
A manager came out and looked at it, asked how many times it had been
serviced and then slapped a tag on it. He wrote "LEMON" on the tag
and invited me in to select a new machine.
I really didn't expect anything like that. I was hoping they'd maybe
offer me a discount on a replacement or something. Anyway, this was
already the beginning of winter and there were no 3.5 HP machines
left. There were only a bunch of smaller machines and a couple of 8
HP models. They *gave* me an 8 HP thrower! I asked how much extra
it would be and the guy said, "No charge."
Needless to say, I've shopped at Home Depot many times since. So far
the only other thing I ever needed to return was a supposedly
"squirrel proof" bird feeder that wasn't. Also a dish washer I
bought from the Sarasota HD store once needed service and they sent a
guy out promptly but that was well within the warranty.
