Note: Wall Mart no longer sells SNAPPER lawnmower. SNAPPER refused to drop price, which would have required a quality reduction. Do you think the "John Deer" at Home Depot is the same machine as that at a John Deer dealer?
I recently bought an Ariens snowblower. I shopped for Ariens only due to my experience with their product. Lowes had similar but not the same models, being sold quite a bit cheaper than professional model I was shopping for. They had machines with the same horsepower and width but they were cheaped out. The pro model has an actual differential and cast iron gearcase while the cheaper one has a live axle that you drop a pin into to lock the wheels and an aluminum gearcase. The cheaper model was available at Ariens dealers but the pro model was not sold at Lowes.
