Same with Ariens snowblowers. I was talking to the local Ariens dealer. He flat out told me that the ones on sale at Home Depot are the same, but good luck getting service, as he would take his own customers as priority over customers who bought elsewhere.
Interesting, I've always understood (or at least thought) they were inferior in some way. I really don't know just in my head I guess. I've always bought lawn mowers at "dealers."
