Years ago I got a sears, the following year annother sears, it broke
right away and the replacement wasnt as good as the previous years
model, bigger and noisier. Last year I got one from HD, it didnt put
out even 50% of the rating so I returned it. It seems with china
making them models are never the same year to year in quality. If I
had to buy one now id be lost, I would get an energy star model from
the place with the best return policy. The only one I like is the
oldest sears I bought. CR rates them for efficency and noise, but
quality seems to be a crapshoot.
