This is a long-standing practice in this industry (see: Hide or Show Models on Quotes - Integrator Statistics) but I can't really understand it as a buyer.
I recently bought a refrigerator. No appliance store that I looked at tried, in any way, to hide the model numbers. The whole thing seems comical if they did. I am not trying to be an expert in refrigerators but I obviously want to know the make and model so I can do some basic checking on things that are important - details on specs, trends of user reviews, performance/reliability claims, not made in China, etc.
