Craftsman - это Sears brand. Он к элекстролюску имеет такое же отношение, как Kenmore к Whirlpool'у. Газонокосилки Craftsman необязательно сделаны Husqvarna.
А сирсовский сэйлсмен еще и не такого нарасскажет...
I agree. I know - Kraftsman is not a manufacturer but just a name. Go to sears and look at those two machines - you won't see any difference, except color (and liitle difference in engine power). Everything else is identical. I also thought that Husqvarna suppose to be something better, but when I saw no difference between them, I bought Craftsman because of more powerfull engine (6.75hp vs 6.5).
Regarding Electrolux and Craftsman - go there http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml02/02550.html . Craftsman, Husqvarna and Poulan Pro are made by Electrolux.
Sales guy was right...
