I'm very disappointed, this will cost us a few hundred dollars since we have to purchase more water. after complain to the company all they said was it's not their fault it's where they buy their sand. Thanks for taking responsibility for this!!!!

I went to Lowes with a specific washer in mind,to purchase but the Sales man (Rocco)told me they…read moredid not have it in stock&showed me another&I agreed to purchase that; Whirl pool top loading washer 4.4 WHICH WHIRL POOL STATES SHOULD LAST 10-13 YRS....3 MONTHS&3WEEKS LATER(JULY 8)this washing machine stops functioning... It will not drain &would stop in wash cycle; I approach the Manager who says to me"are you sure an electrical storm wasnt the cause of the control panel being fried"???? I did not get any help whatsoever! I was treated very poorly by this manager! Anyways..the repair man tells me after replacing the main control board,that the motor is rusted out!!!Are you kidding me??? I have been waiting 3 weeks for repairs to be completed&was told that they're still waiting for a motor!!! Thats right!!no washer for over 2 months!!! Seems fishy to me that a brand new WHIRL POOL washing machine's control panel&motor both were garbage!!!i In less than 4 months!!?? Apparently Lowes re stocks with returned merchandise! COULD I HAVE GOTTEN A RETURNED ITEM??? Iwent today &spoke to another Manager (pat)who was much nicer about it; He doesnt understand how i got such a bad washing machine&i asked if maybe they had sold me this washer by mistake? Perhaps it was a return &given to me by mistake??? He also stated that he didnt understand why my washer wasnt exchanged UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES! HE IS GOING TO CONTACT JAMIE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE APPLIANCES @LOWES&GET REP INFO... HE THINKS I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER WASHER SINCE 2 MAJOR COMPONENTS WERE AFFECTED! I AM TO CONTACT LOWES TUESDAY SEPT 6TH TO GET RESULTS/ANSWERS. I WILL POST AN UP DATE NEXT WEEK... MEANWHILE WERE DOING OUR LAUNDRY@FREINDS&FAMILY.

I was working on a home project building a self watering above ground planter. I was installing a…read moremetal frame on one side that would be against the house and would not be accessible once installed. This would be used to attach a fence for plants to crawl up on. However I needed to drill some holes in the metal to connect the pieces. The drill bits I had worked great with wood but would not pierce through this metal and was in fact dulling the bits after I had recently sharpened them. Doing some research on the internet I learned that the best bits for metal were cobalt drill bits. I checked my local stores like Canadian Tire and Rona but they did not have them. I found some on Amazon but it would take a few days for delivery. Then I found Lowes had them in stock in their store. So I ordered some for pickup around 5 PM. The next day by 9AM I received an email saying they were ready for pickup. I shot down there right away and received very pleasant service from the Pick up clerk/cashier and left a very happy customer. Arriving home I was very anxious to use these bits to see if they could perform. They cut through the metal like butter and gave me a great sense of accomplishment in both the job I was doing and using a good high quality product made by DeWalt.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Greenhouse that sells plants in…read moreNavan. Prices are lower than other speciality plant shops and they have rarer/less common species. The Long Version: I'm late to the plant party, but I recently started getting into plants. I look for low maintenance plants that thrive on neglect, lol. I started with air plants, which I bought at Wild Willy's, which is near my house. There I saw these strange plants called Living Stones/Lithops. I had never seen these before and they fascinated me. I decided to do more research on them. I discovered that during the Winter and Summer they only need to be watered once or not at all the entire season. And in the Spring and Fall they only need watering once every month or two. That is super low maintenance! I was talking to one of my coworkers about them and she said she saw them at Robert Plante and she was going that weekend. After a few texts and photos back and forth, she picked one up for me. I was thrilled to pay only $12.99 for them instead of $18 which was the price at Wild Willy's. The Lithops are cool and unusual and I love them. I decided to go to the store myself to poke around. Navan is a bit of a hike for me, but it's not far from Orleans, where my parents live, so when I was out there visiting my parents, I asked my mom if she wanted to go look at some plants and she did, and one of my nieces also wanted to join. So off we went. The place is huge. So many plants! I loved just looking around. They had succulents (my favourite type of plant), cacti, air plants, regular leafy plants (lol, I know that's not the proper term, but y'all know what I'm talking about), and even carnivorous plants. They had plants of all sizes from tiny to huge. They had olive trees and kumquat trees and so much more. I ended up getting more Lithops because I found some red/orange ones. They were in a smaller pot and only $6.99. I also got an air plant for $4.99. My mom also got an air plant. Hers was a bit bigger so it was $5.99. And she got a succulent that looks like a rose for $6.99. There's a little food truck inside the greenhouse that sells coffee and other drinks and also hotdogs, sandwiches and snacks. I got my niece some ice cream from the food truck, which is called the YOLO Coffee Truck. I'll write a separate review for the food truck. Staff were pleasant. I needed help finding some Haworthia Cooperi, a plant I really wanted to get and staff were able to take me to them. Unfortunately they only had the pointy leaf variety and I was looking for the rounded leaf variety :( I had such a good time at the greenhouse even though I didn't get a Haworthia Cooperi like planned. Lots of free parking in their private parking lot. Review #58 (2025)

If you are familiar with the brand, Princess Auto sells all kinds of car maintenance products, and shelving and other items to outfit your garage to do the repairs and maintenance required. They have things to fix your car: wheels and tires (after all, it's winter now... are your snow tires on?); doodads to check the pressure of your tires; trailer hitches; and all and sundry for the DIY car enthusiast. So why do *I* like it when I don't know the right side of a wrench? Because they are Canadian owned and operated, and they sell work gloves and those heating things to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter. I go there maybe every 3-4 months to check out what is on display. It's different than a hardware store, but also good and useful.

Over I really like Princess Auto. Definitely favorite especially because of their no-hassle return…read morepolicy. This review is related to their own product review on their website. I always wondered why there are so few reviews for such a popular retailer. I discovered recently it's because they don't allow any critical or negative reviews - even the slightest ones on their website. I wrote one review for a product that was moderately critical and it never showed up on their website. I recently submitted a 3 star review for a mini excavator I paid $10,000 for. The purpose was to provide them and their customers an honest opinion of what I liked and disliked about it so prospective purchasers could make an informed buying decision. After a couple of days, I got this email from them: " Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to publish next time!" So what's the point of sharing if honest reviews aren't allowed??? I rely on reviews to make informed purchases. I would have expected more from Princess Auto.
