Is this a tipical name brand item built in China to cheap name brand specification?

No they are actually from Sweden and also make construction equipment. I have a construction company whereby I use a lot of Kusqvarna circular and chain saws and have had a great deal of success with them. This is why I chose the Husq snow thrower. I used it all winter with all the snow we had and had very good results. Very happy with this purchase.

There is nothing cheap about the construction and quality of this machine. It tears through snow and packed snow. Relatively quiet while cutting through tough snow and ice

We have only used it twice, but it worked well. It doesn't appear to be cheaply built.

The bottom says China. But it must be tough since they shipped it to me in the retail box, no other packaging whatsoever. I was sure it wouldn't work, but it has been fine for almost two months.

Almost all of these low price systems are made in China. The items from several manufacturers I believe even comes from the same factory; they just put different labels on in at the end.

I just received mine and it is made in the P.R.C. (China). I must say the construction appears to be first rate.

Yes it is. I did check on the bottom of the unit. 99% of manufactured products today are made in China,

I am not sure. It does not look like a knock off, however the package does not show any brand. It just have a kit number and some other codes. It does say Designed in New Jersey, USA, and Assembled in China.

That is the company name as it appears on the blade. You are correct in wondering as this was made in China.

Yes, I mention that in the first line of my review. If the China part is a problem you should pass on it. See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al_g5k5l5zY

No it is not. Think it said china as to where it was made. I returned mine as not what stated in the ad.

I don't know if it matters, but this version has gold-tone connectors, while still being labeled on the underside as "D3" and "Made in China". It performs just fine, for what it's worth.

It's not a name brand and ships from China. It took around 10 days to arrive. But the quality was great for me! Mine has been self-repaired and working for a couple months now.

On the box mine came in, it clearly has a sticker that said "Made in China" on the bottom. I uploaded a photo to the customer images that points it out. You can also check out my review, titled "Made in China (Photo Evidence), Notes on Build Quality" if you want way more information.

I don't know. I re-looked at all adds with information on board and never saw country of origin as China. Where did you get this information from? I looked over packing and carton and saw no such indication. Now I am curious.

The embarrassing short answer is, I have no idea. Often a cheap product = cheap quality. Also, I hate admitting this, but I'm a bit prejudiced in the sense that I also equate Chinese products with cheap quality. Since these items had both going for them, I didn't even expect them to work, so I didn't bother to check into the warranty.Sorry.:^<

Not at all. Cheaply made and poorly put together. I took ours apart to see if I could fix it (broke after a few uses) and found the tell-tale "made in China" marking. Do not buy.

No. It is made in China. But I find that it works very well. Mine is a retirement gift, so I had no choice in the brand or where it was made.

Made in China. Did you read my product review?? These are my own photos of the thing:
