Is it called the "Platinum Edition" because of the platinum colored rim around the outer edge of the blue mat? if so, is that the only difference?

Yes, that is the only difference. I am an authorized retailer of Needak Products.

I just purchased a new Platinum 168 oz. to replace my older Platinum as I was donating it to a shelter. The mat fits perfectly.

The 10490 has a metal slate colored back, and the 10492 is all black (they call it smooth black). I have the 10490 and the metal slate is very industrial looking. It is more of a very, very dark blue. I like it. They have other colors as well - silver, white and champagne gold. If you look at the description on the top of the page of any of them just below the price you can click on the small icons and see the different colors and part numbers. Hope this helped!

I would guess because way more people buy the black one over the blue one. I have both now, and I can tell you the only difference is the color. From what I have seen with both, they are the exact same thing in the same color. I don't want to tell you one thing and have you go and buy it, but that's what I've noticed.

Someone answered that the difference is that the platinum was a full upright with a cord....then why would it be called cordless? Would love to have the correct answer too.

The only difference is the look. The all black edition consist of all the handle and base being matted black. The regular black one will still have the silver bars.

This one is a poly wheel. Let me know ifyou are still looking a softer wheel. Poly will not mark the floors. Soft black rubber will. thanks

Yes, I have both the Light and Platinum on my home and can honestly say the difference is very hard to see. From the outside they both seem to look as reflective and from the inside the platinum may be a bit darker looking but not by much. I like both and have no complaints but just trying to help.

The Platinum edition lists as being 0.5 lbs heavier than the Silver, despite having the exact same features. Additionally, the a slightly more gun metal, or anodized color tone, seeming just a bit sepia-like. The Silver is a much cleaner looking silver color. Both have a deep matte finish. You can compare them at their amazon page: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - PlatinumJust use the color selection tool right below the list price to see the very subtle difference.

The logo on my mat is authentic. I got an orange one. You are correct though, online it looks different, except for the key lime, raspberry, and saffron.

Wow... I am not sure... I had different color bands too & from the inside looking out I can see no difference & from the outside it is a platinum looking mirror look... hope this helps. I love mine as it has given me privacy & cut the heat coming in cooking the living room

The patter is different from one side to the other. However not sure it is different from the other mats.

I am wondering the exact same question... here is a discussion forum where someone does say that the platinum has front adjust. But I'm trying to find out FOR SURE before we buy. http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/50339130.aspx

Absolutely nothing. I ordered two (one for each of my sons) in two different colors. The blue color was labeled "special edition" and the other (black) was not. They are identical. Perhaps the color is a special edition color.

The more expensive one is the newer model with the brown-gold non-stick surface, the shorter cord, and no included spatula. I hated the "new and improved" surface on the newer one and will be buying this one.

I have both the grey towel set and the platinum bath mat. It is not an exact color match, but quite close (enough that it is not jarring and they are passable as a coordinating set.)
