hello,
I am talking about the process to take a perfectly working design of a particular brand, such as say, a coffee maker made by black and decker, and strip it down the parts so it is not over designed at all. You get plastic where you should get metal and so on. This is how WalMart offers the lowest prices on some items. But only some brands will participate. Some will refuse the practice. This is why some model numbers can only be found at a store that despecs.
Home depot practices this on some of their cordless drills, though i am not sure about other departments
I have been eyeing a new american standard cadet 3 at home depot.
What I want to know is, does american standard "cheapen" their products, say at a home depot? I would not to know what to look for if they did. what is this process called anyway?
Better yet, which brands despec at all? which refuse. I would be interested to find out.
