LOL

Whenever passing that store, I avert my eyes. I do not like junk. Seems
like I'm always getting rid of junk, even without intentionally buying
junk. Nowadays is a good time to go with namebrand stuff and read
reviews, even if sometimes reviews are worthless or misleading. Shopping
is an art these days.

What you say makes sense, except for when the HF stuff is identical to
the name brand but sells for 30% of the price. As you say, shopping is
an art and you can find some gems amongst the garbage.

Yes and no.
Certainly in some cases they are the same.
But in others, sometimes they look the same, but there is a high set of
components, better bearings, better brushes, better metal in the gears.

For rebranded , they are probably the same, for some higher end stuff,
they _MAY_ have better components, and better QC.
