Ford makes a good car and a bad car.

I was not aware that Ford made a good car.

Same with appliances. CR always
rates specific models, although they give repair records for brands.

As someone that is somewhat familiar with household appliances, I can tell
you that I'm talking "the same" machine with very different ratings. The
parts are interchangeable. The assembly line is the same. The only
difference is the name that's painted onto the control housing.
