Same-basis comparison, pump only (not counting clamps)
Ranked lowest to highest:
- Maplemoor refurbished: $56.23 (lowest), but it is a refurbished part and not the same condition as the other two
- Lockmoor OEM new: $61.40 + $9.95 + $4.30 = $75.65, which is $19.42 more than the lowest
- Maplemoor OEM new: $76.83, which is $20.60 more than the lowest
Other things to weigh
- Lockmoor arrives in 3 days with a 90 day warranty. Maplemoor OEM new arrives in 5 days with a 30 day warranty. Since Tiffany Byrd is without her washer, the 2 extra days matter.
- The refurbished pump is the lowest price but is not the same condition as new. Its delivery time is unknown.
- Please confirm warranty and return terms directly with each supplier.
Recommendation
We recommend Lockmoor for the OEM new pump, since it is the lowest price for a new part, arrives soonest, and has the longest warranty. Ordering the clamps on the same order brings the full Lockmoor total to $82.38. The Maplemoor refurbished pump is the lowest price, but we would want its delivery time and Tiffany Byrd's approval first.
Questions for the owner
- What is the delivery time on the refurbished pump from Maplemoor?
- Does Maplemoor carry the drain hose clamp, and at what price? Without it we cannot compare the full job.
- Does the customer approve a refurbished part, or should we stay with new OEM?
What it does
Takes the quotes you got from different parts suppliers for the same repair job and lines them up side by side, with the true total cost from each supplier. It shows which option costs the least and what the tradeoffs are, so you can decide where to buy.
Use it when: Use when an appliance repair shop needs to compare quotes from two or more parts suppliers for the same repair, such as "compare these parts quotes," "which supplier is cheaper for this part," or "line up these prices for me."
