"Champion, Pella Impervia, Viwinco Cambridge,"

Anything from any of these companies should be a non-starter in any conversation regarding quality. If your look strictly at a cost basis I would still eliminate them as the odds are pretty good you will replace these much sooner than a quality brand.

Anderson has a good reputation for vinyl windows not sure about pricing where you live that will be up to you to compare. Obviuouslt the " builder " grade you had have lasted 29 yrs so not bad IMO for builder grade anything. $6 windows is a lot of windows so I get trying to find a good quality for a decent price but honestly I wouldrather pay more to get better for another 29 yrs.

Andersen has a goood reputation for vinyl windows? Are you joking !

I certainly hope so.

Their vinyl product was absolute garabge. In fact it was so bad, they sold their vinyl line.

"Anderson has a good reputation for vinyl windows"

Andersen is not in the vinyl window business.

Good advice above:

- Andersen doesn't make vinyl windows and when they did (branded under a different name), they were low end.

- Marvin Infinity is a nice window even if not a top performer

- If you are considering vinyl, I'd try to find someone that carries the products that Windows on Washington mentioned as your current choices aren't great.

Andersen "bought" a vinyl brand, and the one that they bought was fairly widely known as the biggest turd on the market.
