Anyone know what the Lowe's/installer contractor split is? Is it 50/50 or something else?
Hey ..... for $50-dollars, I got a very slightly used dishwasher from the ReStore ..... http://www.pemivalleyhabitat.org ..... in Plymouth, installed it myself, and four years later, it still runs totally super-duper ......is like the world's #1 greatest dishwasher ever installed since dirty dishes were first invented! .....  |
The costs associated with doing the work don't change because the person(s) doing the work are employees of Lowes or independent contractors - which most are. In fact, by going through Lowes you can usually realize a cost savings versus going to the same exact provider directly.
Buying anything used is of course going to be cheaper than buying new, but roll the dice... if it's worth it to you to screw around with a 50 dollar dish washer that may last 1 day or 5 years is up to you. Can guarantee you one thing, pat yourself on the back for a dishwasher that probably consumes 10Xs the electricity and ends up over it's lifetime costing you more. Probably causes the ringing in your ears cause it's so darn loud too. That costs you more in doctors visits too!
