So in October a tree fell on our house, ripped wires off the house, and we had some pretty severe power surges. A lot of appliances were destroyed, including our printer. I really like that printer, it is quite a beast.
It's an HP all in one, probably a good 40 pounds. Has the real photocopier with the moving scan light, has two paper trays which can hold probably 200 sheets of paper. This thing is a workhorse. So when we filed out insurance claim, we put down $250 as a value for this printer. Insurance company (State Farm) said they would either give us 250 cash or just send a printer of equal value via UPS. We figured it would save a hassle, and had them send one out.
So it came yesterday unharmed by the big brown truck. It is the Hp 4135 - dinky. THis thing probably weighs 10 pounds, it does not even have the two trays, does not have a real photo copier table and scanning light, it is cheaply made and you can tell. At staples, I see it for 98 dollars, thats MY cost. The insurance company may pay less! So, this is really not an adequate replacement. Should I fight them?
