This Crosley is nothing but a front buying/marketing organization for
independent dealers...who builds the given product isn't told on the
website that I saw anyway...

"Formed in 1976 in Winston-Salem, NC, the Crosley Corporation consists

Crosley Corporation was established as a non-profit organization to help

Crosley brand appliances are manufactured by world class corporations
and are built to Crosley specifications. ... "

Ya' pays your money and takes your chances. If you can find out who's
building a given product, your only hope will be to base judgment on
that manufacturer's reputation for the given product but even that is
quite iffy as one doesn't know what Crosely has done to meet their price
points.

The compressor warranty is longer; used to be everybody had at least 5
on the compressors but they're backing off on a lot of them. Note that
it probably is the compressor itself only; no labor and may be
restrictive even within that guideline to limit the number that actually
qualify. But, a good compressor ought to last that long and double
easily anyway. Some don't, of course...ya' pays your money and takes
yer chances...
