To put in LVP flooring or no?

last month

I've read up on some posts about LVP. I see some comments saying not to buy at places like Home depot or Lowe's. But to be honest, when I see 22 mil, a lifetime residential warranty, and good reviews, it seems okay. I still need budget friendly.
I'm considering buying now, but then waiting until I can put some more money aside for professional installation. Especially because leveling might be more complicated. I havnt re-done the floors in my home since purchasing it, but each room is different. 😂 One laminate, some rooms with original old carpet, one with a newer carpet, and one with stick on vinyl. I can't take it anymore!!
I plan on renting or maybe even selling in a few years, so I just want a clean look in the meantime. Any thoughts?

Box store second quality is only exceeded in poor quality by the installers that do no prep, and create situations where it fails within 6 months.

The prep to get your floor to 3/16" in 10', and to create the proper moisture barrier, should cost significantly more than the material you are considering. The material is the chep part. Find a good installer, and let them tell you about what brands they prefer, and how they guarantee that their install meets the manufacturer requirements. Which you should also print out and read, and understand.

Paying twice for floors and install is never the budget choice.
