Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse of Scarborough

A pleasant experience from start to finish. We recently found ourselves in need of both a dryer and gas grill (when it rains it pours). After being completely let down by another national chain we decided to try Lowe’s. I’m really glad we did. In both departments we were met and helped by very knowledgable staff that went above and beyond not only to help us find the right appliances, but made sure we had them delivered before 4^th of July and the beginning of a parade of incoming house guests.
As promised, our order was delivered on time by friendly professionals. Everything was installed perfectly and our old appliances hauled away. As an extra bonus, I get to look forward to receiving a mail in rebate in the form of $ 100 Lowe’s gift card for buying my grill.

One might wonder what would merit an updated review for a place like Lowe’s, but bear with me on this journey…
Everyone who knows us is well aware that we try to live a «greeny» lifestyle. We carpool, recycle, compost, ride our bikes, etc. We’re not carbon neutral by any means, but we try to be conscious of how we live and how it affects the environment. With a little one on the way, we have decided to give cloth diapers a try since they have come a LONG way since we were babies.
There’s a nifty gadget in the cloth diapering world called a diaper sprayer. It attaches to your toilet so you can easily rinse your diapers before you put them in your washing machine. The retail versions of these sprayers start at $ 50 and move up from there. Unacceptable, really, since we felt we could make one ourselves, get a better product, and save money.
Plumbing projects remind me of assembling IKEA furniture… except the parts are not labeled and there are thousands of pieces to choose from. As we stood in Lowes gathering everything we thought we would need, cursing at the lack of a female/​male piece in a certain size… an angel in a red vest approached us.
He started with a «what’s the project today, folks?» greeting, and before we could respond, he took a step back and looked at the parts in my husband’s hand. «Are you trying to make a cloth diaper sprayer?» he asked.
THAT is why this location and its employees rock. He found us the pieces we were cursing over, we went home and put it all together, and it works fabulously. My only regret is that we forgot the helpful employee’s name by the time we got home, he really deserves recognition!
