Really good side by side comparison and explanation of the differences. I'd love to see a comparison between the Sierra Pacific wood clad and Marvin. Those two seem to be 2 popular choices in our area.
Excellent video and very informative. Thanks!
Is there a way to lock these windows in a partially open position for venting the house? Are the screens the same?
Great job!
Do you install the window i have trouble finding someone or company to do what needs to done
So how long have you worked for Marvin windows? Andersen big advantage is the jam liners are compression, making a better seal, Thus the need for the tilt assist's or wedges as you call them.
Great video. How about Pella and Jeld-Wen vs these 2? So a four way comparison?
Certainly something we can look into!
Can you do a comparison of marvin elevate vs ultimate?
Thank you. How about a comparison between the Marvin Elevate and the Andersen Woodwright?
Interesting, we will look into it!

Would love to see a comparison between Marvin Essential & Pella's fiberglass line.
What about provia vs marvin?
Great comparison of two windows I'm considering right now. Seems a bit of a hit job on Andersen but maybe it's fair?
We tried to do our best to be as unbiased as possible
Fair but note the Marvin windows cost about +20% more.
@@ryanolep1078 Not necessarily. I was about to pull the trigger on Andersen 400s because my builder recommended it. However I didn't care about the wood interior and wasn't keen on vinyl so looked into Marvin. Got a few quotes and yes most dealers quoted a little above the Andersen quote, but I ultimately found one that came it at the same number as the Andersen.
@@hapaboy0808nice I would say you got a good deal. Note different Anderson dealers have different prices as well.
@@hapaboy0808the labor was cheaper and your contractor was willing to not mark them up as much. A great window, none the less. Hopefully you got a great install.
Can you do a comparison on Andersen A series and Marvin elevate?
Certainly something we could do!
Very informative but I’m still confused as ever, I have 18 widows I need to replace on old brick home, and do not want to avoid having buyers remorse.
Go with provia.
Compare marvin elevate and essential
I'm replacing 30+year old Andersen windows. Thought I'd choose Marvin for replacements as I've heard they are slightly better quality but the sizing (window opening) isn't quite the same so with a Marvin replacement I either have to order a custom size window or order standard size and shim up each window opening...more expensive on both fronts. Any reason NOT to order Andersen replacement windows?
Can you do a sash upgrade in the Andersen's ?
Andersen purposely makes their sizes different so when you replace you go with them lol
Andersen does have good support . Marvin was a bit hard to deal with but getting better . Marvin seems a bit better built.
Marvin cost more
@@shahsmerdis They do a conversion kit. Guessing you have Narolines? A very easy job to. Check the vides on them. Naroline to 400 Seris conversion.
Notice they didn’t show a cut away of the Andersen window?
That would have benefited the Marvin window.
Locks ! I’m looking to install new windows and window locks are important
Price?
How does price compare, say for a "standard" size double hung?
Windows are similarly priced!
Thank you for this. I had put Andersen windows in my old house and I was terrified to use the tilt-wash feature because I was afraid I'd never get the windows back in. I like the Marvin tabs better, they are more like windows I've had tilted in before.
The Andersen window seals across the outside edge of the window and against the sash. Windows with the tabs just seal across the outside edge. It is slightly trickier to use, but it’s a superior seal design.
Those companies are both very good but how about a new one? I can recommend Dako, they have good prices and reasonable quality for a younger brand.

Marvin vs. Weather Shield windows and doors
Marvin Elevate is best. Then Andersen and then the rest. Now Alpen makes an excellent window too. And so does Okna vinyl.
Anderson 400 is their mid grade window.
Great video! You certainly deserve more than 9 subscribers! I'll throw you a bone and be the 10th! :-)
Hum, I think I figured out which one you want to sell in the first minute
@Grande1124
The biased view to convince his audience
@Grande1124 well that’s funny you’d say that cause I never see someone who regrets choosing Andersen but see at least once a month a Marvin client complaining about how hard their windows are to open and air leaks constantly.
@Grande1124 well for some crazy reason I hear more folks with Marvin issues over Andersen, also then why did Marvin get out of selling direct and now only use third party to sell the product, could it be that if these businesses go out of business then the warranty issues are handled or more like null and void. I also don’t sell 400 series, I sell about this for Andersen, Andersen has 7 lines of product levels.
we wants to sell the better of the 2 products shown which is Marvin . Better fit and finish better over all product compared to the 400 series .
Unfortunately the reviews disagree as a whole on products, the 400 series is Andersen’s 2nd best selling double hung only to the Renewal by Andersen double hung which is what I sell, I see Marvin every week, sorry just not even close over time on open close, wear and tear, etc
This Andersen 400 series looks nothing like other videos I have watched. The latching is completely different…they don’t use wedges. They use proprietary latches that are much nicer than Marvin.
Screams hit job.
Andersen seems meh
