That model is ‘made’ by Colovos which don’t actually make machines, but is a large Asian made tool importer with offices in Chicago and Taiwan. They source a lot of woodworking tools to Sears which are given the Craftsman and Craftsman-Pro brand. Probably not a high end machine, but for that price and with a two year service agreement, I would keep it at least until your service agreement is up. During that time, you can be on the lookout for a better replacement. If you get a replacement, or at the end of those two years, you can put it up on Craigslist and recover at least half or more of what you bought it for. Just a thought.

Cheers,
