I am in the market for an indoor spinner. What is the difference between this model, versus models that are under $250?

I think sturdiness and weight limit it will hold. Cheaper ones can be very wobbly. I personally like a chain driven better vs belt driven.

I agree with Teresa. I'm not an expert on these products, but I'll share my decision calculus (for whatever that's worth). I looked for durable construction - heavy tubes with solid welds and a stable base. I also looked for the heaviest flywheel - weight of the flywheel for this type of device seems important as I recall from HS physics... I also looked for the ability to customize with my own saddle and pedals. I've used this model daily for about a year. No complaints so far.

One of the other original reviews I read was of someone who worked at gym and mentioned that although it doesn't compete with $1000-2000+ bikes, it was still built to last longer - and work better than a plastic thing, and came close enough to a $1000+ machine.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

Trial Version of Traktor. Just buy Traktor before you get it because the trial only will let u spin for like 30 mins at a time.

This company has been entirely irresponsible about this product. I spent $$ to replace two motors and currently not working at all. They promised to get back to me when a better motor was available but never did, tired of calling, am not using it now. Don't know about the spinner, maybe try putting it in better and wait , sometimes doesn't work right away. good luck

The "cheaper" deluxe is not really cheaper. It's on sale. It's also a little lighter and has some extra control. Don't think you'll go wrong with it.

Not familiar with spinning. It does work very well however. Works just walking around the house or wherever you go. It works with my elliptical and bicycle. All I have to do is walk by my computer and it syncs with my device. My husband has vivo-fit and he has to sign into the site to get his device to sync every day. I like the way I can track my foods, nutrients and fiber. Besides that it is cheaper. Spark site has so many encouraging items to keep you going with your overall health. Well worth the money to me. Works great on my shoe.

This knee walker is great indoors. It easily goes from carpet or rug to hardwood floor. I have hardwood floors, thick rugs, and tile in my kitchen. The tires do not mark the flooring. It is very stable. I rush about sometimes, both inside and out, and thus far, I haven't encountered any "tipping" problems. I've definitely put it to the test! It does not have a locking brake, which surprises me. Personally, I haven't really needed one. The walker is extremely well built, very solid yet light. The turning radius is excellent. This model has suited me well--I'm female, 5'5, and weigh 125 pounds. This knee walker is great indoors. It easily goes from carpet or rug to hardwood floor.

Yes, I have two and they both rotate very freely, even continues to spend if you twirl it!

I have the Gold's Gym Power Spin 290, for which it works perfectly. The 290c is the newer version and looks very similar to mine.

I do not recommend the silent spinner at all. It only lasted about a month before the clips that hold the two parts of the wheel together broke. This creates little holes where the hedgehog could get its feet stuck. This wheel did not work for me and I did a lot of research. Also, if your hedgehog poops in its wheel like mine does, it is impossible to get it off of this one. (because of the ridges). I do recommend getting a Carolina Storm Wheel. My hedgehog loves hers. It is easy to clean just be careful not to get the bolts wet or they will start to squeak. (I had to buy a new one when this happened, but when you buy one, it comes with extra bearings). It is a little expensive $20+$10 shipping (depending on where you live) but you will not regret it. Carolinastormhedgehogs.com check them out I am glad I found them.

Have had no problems with the two I bought. Was the previous motor 6v or 12v ? Is battery fully charged ? And does spinner spin free by hand? I did have a controlled box go bad that did the same thing wasn't letting enough power through .

My parents had the lower priced alternative. We really liked it, so we bought one for our family. I chose the more expensive one because it seemed to have a more powerful and more importantly, quieter motor. It also seemed like the more expensive one was a little bit more heavy duty and would last longer. Hope this helps. Either way, you will be happy with the result. So good.

We purchased and highly recommend a Speed Queen. This is a commercial type of machine, simple and well built. You may have to search for a local dealer. It may seem to cost a little more. It is worth it.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

I've been asking myself the same thing.Seems like there is a hugh difference in price. I need to pick one, so anyone have any suggestions on how to quickly evaluate them? What would be the top three criteria I need to know to pick one? I've been tracking prices on next tag (that's to them you can see the price drops). So, I'm leaning toward the 1000 model unless someone knows of another model/brand that does the same thing--cheaper!Logitech Harmony 550 Universal Remote $77.00Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote $202.58Monster MCC AV100 Activity-based A/V Home Theater $160.70Logitech Harmony 890 Advanced Universal Remote Control $269.99Logitech Harmony 1000 (now down under $260 at JR and Crutchfield) I've been asking myself the same thing.Seems like there is a hugh difference in price.

It was my second choice. The Panasonic was $150 more(at the time) and I liked the sealed motor on the Prolux 7000. I had a older Panasonic industrial before before but it was not as good, smaller motor, more plastic parts and kind'a noise. But the Panasonic is still a good sweeper. Its your money I can't tell you which is best. I just liked the Prolux more for the price. Time will tell it I made the right choice. My girlfriend thought the red color was bad ass and as long as she is on the other end of it (and not me). What mom'a wants mom'a gets!

I have never flown a quad although I want to. This one is fairly easy to learn and it's small enough to learn indoors where you can control the wind a little better. It's not like those cheap $50 airhogs with the dual blades so it is a little bit more responsive than one of those. It is actually very nimble and I find myself getting it into trouble with a wall or something easily but if you take it slow initially (at least for the beginner heli pilot like me) you can learn a lot and it's very fun. The only thing is that I try to keep a couple of skids on hand because I haven't gotten too much practice landing easily. The parts for it are very cheap though so that's a plus.
