Some mentioned that the Pro3 is 350w. Is that correct? What is the difference between "by bamix" and "by vitronix"?

Pro3 comes in 200W and 350W. The 350W machines are not yet marketed in the USA. But amazon.uk will now ship a Gastro350 Professional [extra long] to the USA. Be sure to check the machine label about its power source flexibility. For USA use it must list a "50Hz-60Hz" rating. If it also says "110v-220v" that meams you wont have to install a transformer. It does appear from my sources that the units amazon.uk now ships to the US will work with a 350watt, 120 to 240V transformer.

I ordered the Gastro Pro 350 December 2012 and it is 350w. The shaft of the Gastro Pro 3 is much longer (made for commercial use with deeper submersion) too. January 2012, Victorinox (Swiss Army) partnered with Bamix of Switzerland to distribute Bamix immersion blenders in the United States. I'm guessing this is due to 'Swiss Army' brand recognition in the US and a larger market presence in future? The Bamix immersion blenders are also sold as Zauberstab "magic wand" in Germany. Many Bamix blenders and accessories (except for Slicesy) sold out of inventory in the US (Williams Sonoma, Pro chef retailers etc.) last December 2012. Hint: Yes, buy - both the blender and the company stock. I ordered the Gastro Pro 350 December 2012 and it is 350w.

I purchased the pro3 in January. I too was looking for a more powerful 350W motor. I agree the specifications and printed material was (is) not clear. When I tired the unit, it was 200W I think, but it did not do the work that my Kitchen Aid did so I returned it.

'Gastro350'- vs. 'Pro-3'? These two terms have very different meanings. Any Bamix with a '350' means a 350-watt rated motor- the most powerful immersion mixer on the market. In the market you will also see Bamix 100s, 150s, 200s & 250'x. Each has a correspondingly-rated motor. OTOH 'Pro-3' refers to Bamix blenders with the shaft 10-cm longer - ie., 'Pro-length'.

These are the IV Version. At a minimum, the power ratings are 200W for the V version and 75W for the IV version. So the same sound but can get louder without distortion.

the spec says 3%. But on my unit i just received I just made the following measurements using multiple professional HP and Fluke high accuracy instruments (I'm an electrical engineer). TS-836A said 122.3V, instruments said 122.5V; TS386A said 769mA, instruments said 725 mA -that's a 5% error. Predictably the Watts was off 5% too as it is just a calculation. I'm about to leave a comparison against the Kill-a-watt in the reviews

The medlight 630 pro has more power. Typically 2 four minute sessions per knee are all I need. With the 630 it took twice as many.

Sorry I am not familiar with the Pro2 nomenclature. I can attest the Bamix Gastro 200 is one serious immersion blender. It is used at least weekly for different tasks and effectively purees everything thrown at it. Stem is long enough for effective use even in our stock pot. Sorry couldn't be more help

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

It says on the handle, 250W. It seems like much more. Maybe that's when you use it on low, but I don't know. They sell the same unit at Ulta. if you have one near you, you can look on the box, which I no longer have.

Real life usage shows 250-270W power draw which is 2-2.25A. Better than 3.4A really but still not as good as 2.1A for CX2500 model. Measured with TED5000.

The Eneloop Pro have a higher capacity than the standard ones (roughly 2,450 vs. 1900, about 29% greater); all other things being equal you will get more flashes per battery change. Note that different generations have different performance ratings. In some cases the Pro are rated for fewer charge cycles, however; the Lite versions when available have even less capacity per charge, but more charge cycles.

Fine then buy a 350W when it doesn't work you know what to buy. I've been building my own systems for 15 years and building with a higher power PSU is the surest way to reduce heat in your systems and reduce problems. Do whatever you want, but 350W is too small.

my system has a 350W power supply..does that mean i am ok getting this card? or do i need a separate 300w supply? sorry i am new to this... any insight would be appreciated... thanks

As I recall, it's both. The pro has a slightly bigger mat and the max user weight is a little more. I have the 350 and have no complaints at all.

OK, I did the research as well and contacted the seller. The Pro for $139.00 has 7 argon gas (violet) electrodes and 3 Neon gas (orange) electrodes. The sellers should me links to prove to me that BOTH...Argon ( violet) and Neon (orange) electrodes do the same thing....they both take care of acne, wrinkles, tighten skin ect...ect...I was worried about the same as you. the electrodes do everything for your skin...( I did NOT mention it all above).This PRO for $139.00 has 26 watts... very strong! The rest ONLY have 10, 15 or 20 watts.

In my estimation, the difference is in only the name. I have used the PROCELL extensively and have not noticed any difference. Good luck!

The Pro has 1800 watts of power, the regular has just 1600. It also stays on longer when not in use for a while. The soleplate is also extra flat to prevent dimples.

I'm not sure where you are looking that the luxx is 3x more. On the manufactures website the luxx is $299. This version is $199 and has 5000 pulses (according to the description). There is an upgrade kit for this one as well that allows you to add the 120,000 pulses later that is $100. So you might as well get the lower cost one and upgrade later.

Well, for a professional job the twin turbo ceramic ionic is the best one. The 3500 works but not as well as the 3200.
