We've spend a lot of time over the years in both Lowe's and it's more basic twin HD.
Of the two, we tend to prefer this Lowe's, but we still shop in both. The HD over on 90th Street & Via Linda seems to get the better selection of potted plants and garden vegetables, over the HD on Northsight. This Lowe's for the most part beats them both. For large palms, Mexican Windmill and Date, HD Northsight does pretty well.
We shopped here recently, looking to upgrade our oven and microwave. But ended up buying them both at Best Buy's new division Pacific Appliance. Lowe's selection was very good and their prices were competitive.
Things like lighting, tiles and carpeting -- Lowe's has the better selection over HD. We recently needed to replace some tile work in our upstairs bathroom and HD only carried 18" x 18" stone instead of the 12" x 12" carried here.
So it becomes an item, by item thing in the end. We prefer Lowe's, because of the variety and selection. But if we're out looking, we're usually stopping in both. LOL
