Sometimes you can luck out with these special offer deals. For example, I got a 16 gallon wet/dry vac at Home Depot a couple of years ago for $49. Regular models sell for $100+. The main difference is the $49 one is a little less powerful (though still more than adequate for my needs, and well worth the price tag). But yeah, usually the "best" deals look better in the box. The model or submodel on sale is probably a little different than the regular model, even if it looks the same.
