Jam I assume you purchased for Bob? (as I did)...no regrets here. Even though he is only one town over I shopped around (in state, out of state and online) I ended up right back at his place. Tim as far as warranty stuff goes I have no reservations about that. Bob is affiliated with a "large dealer/distributor" . I know quite a few contractors that have purchased from Bob and had no problems with repairs (warranty or otherwise). They make their living off of their Equipment . So if all of them can trust the situation then I can with my single 2910 /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. I actually use mine for business (maintainece of the business property) so reliability was an issue when I was shopping. When I stop in at Bob`s I frequently see equipment being repaired with stickers on them (from competing large dealers). One of the local towns bought equipment from the competior but now goes to Bob for service and new equip.
