Buyer be ware:
Many (most?) manufacturers will produce an item at a lower cost (ie less quality) to meet cost requirements set by big retail vendors like Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc.
In these cases, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck .... it isn't necessarily a duck! Today's consumer has to be very savvy to catch the retailer at these games!
As an example, an Ariens snow-blower of a given capacity sold at HD is definitely not the same machine as sold at your full-service independent retailer.
