Though I can't for life of me recall brand name, I bought one for the little lady for Christmas couple years ago... yes, that garnered me "the look", /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif however, she neglected that year to dog ear some catalogs for me, so she paid the price. (Also got her a auto, battery charger... tis a mistake she's NOT made since) /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My point.. the one at Home Depot (which is where I got it) is US made, in fact, made somewhere here in Tennessee. I have no idea if maybe ALL of them are domestically made, but that helped make my decision easy. They too, have a model with detachable blower, though I didn't get that one.
