I purchased the factory refurbished 1/28 and mine does have the plastic shield that covers the grinding wheel. I am not certain if the only difference between the 1/28 and the 2/28 is the extra battery but I do come to that same assumption. Hope I have been some help.

My only comparison is the wired Model 395 Dremel I have had for years. Would rate them pretty close, quieter at low speeds and noisier at higher speeds. The 8220 might be a little louder at the highest speeds.

I am having the same debate for a gift. And, i agree that the only difference is the base/cleaner. I believe the 8243A is a newer model but am not 100% about that. I read that the 43A is easily cleaned by rinsing under water. I also read the 8109 does not hold as long of a charge as the 43A. If you find out anything, let me know.

I chose the Pro one because of the extra year in the warranty 2 vs 1 and the extra grind plate 3 vs 2 . I also believe there is a difference between a pro model (usually implies that it can take repeated abuse ) and the premium. After purchasing the original plastic one from manufacturer and having to toss it in the garbage after 4 separate uses , I could not chance throwing away more money if the cheaper of the two broke .

As far as I know, the only difference is one comes with a bracket (803) and one doesn't (801). Also, some folks say that one # is an older part #, fyi.

The Delica 4 is available in both grinds so obviously one is incorrect (I think the description is incorrect)... since amazon e-mailed me to respond to this question, I assume the item is the same as the one I ordered some months ago... My knife is the FFG variety. If you want the FFG, order the item with confidence - Amazon has the best customer service on the planet... If the knife is not what you expected, they will make it right and they'll do it fast... If that is not an adequate solution for you, call or e-mail the seller and ask for clarification.- Michael -

I actually spoke to customer service about that today and "Mk2" means "Make 2" or "second version". She said that the battery on the Mk2 is screwed in and helps prevent the battery from slipping down. Evidently that was a problem in the first version. It has nothing to do with included accessories.

I own both and personally prefer the coated BK14. The coating prevents rust and covers up any rough grind spots that the BK24's stonewashed surface does not. I don't know if they changed the coating somewhere along the line but mine has not scraped off with use; not to say the coating will never scrape, but I'm personally glad it's there.

Bruce K. I went to the Dremel.com website, and the only thing i can see is that the improved the tool set so that it will run longer between battery recharges. For thre extra 20 bucks just order the 2/28, you will be happier in the long run. I did and it comes with a recharger and 2 batterys.

Pay attention to the Model #. This one has the S9B suffix, whereas the other does not. I ordered both. As I recall, one is smooth and one is textured like the factory... If I had to guess looking at the pictures, this one is smooth, the other is textured... I like the smooth one, I think it looks better.JP

I have not seen the two together, but from reading the descriptions, it looks like one of the main differences is the extra battery included with the more expensive one. If one had a large area to clean, this might come in handy.

Hi, I am also trying to research Panasonic shavers as an Xmas gift for my husband. I haven't researched the 8109 but I did research the 8243. You probably already know this but there's 8243A & 8243K. A=black model K=blue & silver model You can't replace the batteries in the 8243 unit because it's built in (I had read someone's feed back on it so I called Panasonic to verify). To change the battery, you have to send it to their one and only certified technicians at Appliance Sales & Service in San Francisco. (415-362-7195). I called and it's approx. $50 for the battery & labor according to the person I talked to. I'm assuming that it doesn't include shipping costs. The batteries are also built in on the 8249, LA63S & LA93K and would have to be sent to San Francisco too, according to the panasonic person. According to the Panasonic person, 8243, 8249, LA63S & LA93K are all made in Japan. I couldn't pin her down if any of them were made in China. As far as she could tell they're made in Japan. She referenced the year 2008 and couldn't tell me anything about 2009. (I had thought that someone had said something about having one made in China but I'm researched out at this point so it could have been for another brand of shaver). The only difference I could find between 8243 and 8249 was that the 8249 has the vortex hydra clean system. I still haven't figured out yet whether the hydra system is a good thing or not. 8249S = silver 8249K = black This is unrelated but I thought I'd mention that the expensive ESLA63S & ESLA93K don't have a quick 5 minute charge. There must be something I'm missing because what happens if it dies during a shave. It doesn't make sense to me that something that expensive would have less features than the 8243 & 8249 models The ESLA63S & ESLA93K have 2 motors which does make it louder according to the panasonic person but is suppose to give a better and quicker shave.

They both use the same replacement foils, so they shave the same. However, the BG2040 charges much faster than the BG2028 (1 hr to fully charge vs 8 hrs to fully charge). The BG2040 has a better battery life too.

I bought this one when I broke the one I had on my NexStar127. Pretty much the same, except it didn't have the battery cover. Mine did not have the logo on it, like in the picture. Its the same part number though.

Doesn't seem to have a clear Manufacture date. This battery is almost identical to the original battery NA1BA04CS/4-B vs NA1B14DS/4-B (Not sure which is the original any more) if this helps, but its the only info that is different on the batteries. The two i have are so similar I can't tell which is the original. I even Googled it and not alot came up with identifying a positive manufacture date for this battery. sorry I couldn't answer your question, but I hope this gives u some benefit, anyway I think it is worth the buy considering its probably less expensive than at a battery store or a walmart type store if u can even find 1.

***UPDATE*** According to Joel Koury, the battery is glued to the casing, hence not replaceable. Thanks for the update.--------------------------I would say YES. It's not like Monster would make a proprietary battery. It probably uses a standard 18650 lithium battery or something that is very similar and available to purchase from battery vendors. From the looks of it, there are two circular rubber disks (not the four rubber feet) that cover the screw holes on the bottom of the unit. Remove those rubber disks and unscrew the base. That should give you access to the insides including the battery. ***UPDATE*** According to Joel Koury, the battery is glued to the casing, hence not replaceable.
