We needed a new leaf blower. Lowe's had one at what seemed like a good price. It was impossible to locate. The bay number listed for this product was not to be found. Someone finally realized it was on the top of one of their product display shelves that could only be reached with a ladder. But it wasn't there either. It was on top, just not in the correct place. Finally having it in our hands, we needed to check out as quickly as possible to keep on schedule. We didn't read the small print telling us that the battery was sold separately. Needless to say, no one cared if we knew that or not. Most likely, they didn't know either. It was listed at a good price. The additional $50 for the battery destroyed that advantage. It will be returned. I don't know why I keep shopping there. Really need to support my local hardware store.
