They sent me the wrong model?

[rookworm]

I ordered a 2378 RBU, but they sent me a 2373 KGU instead. It seems to have all the features I ordered, but is there a difference? Also, the manufacture date was 05/09, but I just recieved it today after a 5 week delay. Could it have been a returned unit or something of the sort?

Thanks!

the 2373 model has a 3 year warranty while the 2378 model is an express model with 1 year warranty..

if it were me i would keep it..

probably substituted a better model for one that is no longer available..
