CamelCamelCamel.
how random
noob question - can I use this to polish cars? Or will this damage the paint?
Depends which grit sandpaper you use.
Ozito equivalent is less than half the price.
Maybe the case but one is Ozito and the other Makita.
What's your point? They have the same warranty - 5 years. In fact, the Ozito one is better; no rego required. I'd also wager Makita Aus would be more likely to reject a warranty claim from an Amazon Germany purchase. Bunnings I've never heard of anyone having warranty claim issues.
Considering the warranty stuff, this Makita purchase seems even worse of a deal than at first glance.
It's true there is plenty of Ozito-branded garbage, and they were mostly crap products until recently, but the PXC range is great. Sold as Einhell in other countries.
Makita Aust. will not accept a warranty claim for product purchased via Amazon Germany. My point is Makita is trade quality while Ozito (here in AUS) is positioned towards the DIY user.
5 years warranty, you have to register your product within 30 days from Makita. otherwise it is 3 year warranty. Bunnings just send your stuff to Makita, you wait for outcome.
to be honest, if purchased from Amazon, customer service will be better if something is broken, they may just offer your a new one not like bunnings will just send for repair. if the model is discontinue and something they can't fix, they will give you a new one depend on luck.
@hyq1031: I've found amazon to be good with this up to about the 3year mark. After that, they seem to try all sorts of BS to avoid helping you, but YMMV. I have never had an issue with bunnings, had something out of warranty replaced at the 6 year mark without question. Sure the Makita is better built, but that doesn't count for much these days - high quality gear fails pretty frequently.
There are two types of people in this world, and you are definitely one of them.
if you say so
To the OP, Bunnings do not price match Amazon let alone an imported model via Amazon.
I am keen to get this confirmed? I found discussion here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/851100 but not entirely clear. Also I'd expect this to be somewhere in writing on their website but yet to locate this exclusion myself?
Amazon is one of company Bunnings will price match from their system. I heard the staff mention about F6 shortcut key for Amazon.
I price matched from Bunnings.
Can you share a receipt?
Can confirm they 100% price match Amazon, have it via email confirmation also! As for the import I can't comment on that part.
Warning.
I got sent a pink one…
