Does anybody know the differences between the Whirlibird II and the Whirlibird III? Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks!

In comparing the descriptions of the two versions of the jacket at Columbia's website, the differences I'm finding are: Whirlibird iii Construction: Zip-in and 3-point Interchange System Drawcord adjustable hem Adjustable cuff tabs Modern classic fit Fabric: Shell lining 100% nylon embossed taffeta Inner jacket exterior 100% polyester Microtex Lite II taffeta Inner jacket lining 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Microtex Omni-Heat inner jacket insulation 50% polyester/50% recycled polyester, 80g OH --------- Whirlibird ii Construction: Zip-in Interchange System Fabric: OMNI-TECH SHELL DETAILS 100% nylon SHELL LINING 100% nylon taffeta INNER JACKET EXTERIOR 100% polyester INNER JACKET LINING 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Other differences in the version III: Available colors Available color patterns Columbia only offers the newer version on their website So, there are some differences but not a lot. Hope this helps.

I have both the 733 and 660, the 660 is more energy efficient and moves more air at quieter volume levels than the 733. The 733 is fine for a fan that you want to hide away in a corner, but the 660 is much better looking so you'll not mind having it out in view of others. The 733 has an older analog switch with only 3-speed settings, while the newer 660 has a sleek digital 5-button setup with 4-speed settings. Overall the 660 is just a far superior fan with a more efficient electric motor and it's ability to move in any degree of position from horizontal to vertical...not just 3 like the 733.

Shirley...I'm going to save you some time. I've owned both the WaterBoss 700 and the Whirlpool 44,000 grain water softeners. It's simple...buy the Whirlpool and avoid the WaterBoss. The WaterBoss caused extensive damage to my finished basement when the resin tank failed (within its warranty period) and flooded said basement. The Whirlpool has required nothing except refilling salt and has performed perfect.Buy the Whirlpool and do not buy the WaterBoss.

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!

Hi, I was wondering the same thing. So I contacted Oreck directly regarding the difference between the LW100 and the LW100LR. They told me it is the exact same vacuum. The only difference is the warranty. LW100 comes with the 7 year and 3 tune ups. LW100LR only comes with 5 years and no tune ups. They also said that as long as the seller on Amazon comes up as Oreck then you are buying it from Oreck. Now, I will say that it is very curious that they (oreck.com) are advertising the LW100LR for about $40 more than here and the LW100 for over $100 more than this one on amazon (LW100LR) which states it has the 7 year warranty and 3 tune ups. I will probably be buying this here and hoping they will honor the full 7 year warranty. Hope that helps

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

From what I read before the motor is stronger in the Elite. The description for the Elite also says this: "New, 2x more powerful motor than original Yonanas". I haven't had an issue with the motor on the regular Yonana so I don't know if it's worth spending the extra money.

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.

I really don't know how the Ridgid spindle compares to the Jet, and I only have experience with the Ridgid. Try one of the forums. Plenty of guys, plenty of opinions. Make some sawdust.

Not sure about the other models in requested comparison. My observations:- extremely effective. Moves huge volume of air.- Can be somewhat noisy. Low frequency buzz & "whoosh" of air- weak point is the angle adjustment which is governed by friction from a couple of washers and rubber grommets. Need to keep tight all the time. Suggest replacing with better/ larger fasteners

They're referred to as "control line" models. A few exist out there, but that has pretty much been overcome by the reduction in price of R/C models, especially those Ready To Fly and Park type models. Try searching Amazon, they have quite a selection of relatively inexpensive Park type models that are 2 and 3 channel R/C aircraft, and usually electric in nature. Any local hobby shop would have them also if you want to take a look in person. Hobbytown USA is a good place to start unless you have a local hobby shop you like also. You can also check out their website, just google it. They're referred to as "control line" models.

I emailed Neato regarding the different models and they promptly replied with this response. Hopefully this will help others who are wondering about this. Thank you for contacting Neato Robotics Customer Care. Mechanically and functionally, the XV-11, XV-12, XV-14, and XV-21 are all the same robot. The main difference between all the robots is their color. The XV-21 is the only robot that comes with a new brush and filter, which is centered towards pet owners and allergy sufferers. This updated brush and filter, also known as the Pet & Allergy Upgrade Kit, can be purchased separately and used with all existing robot models. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

The III is very slightly improved over the II and a bit cheaper... It works well but you lose a stop on your lens and on some cameras you lose auto focus...

I am reading the reviews from all over trying to decide between the Waring Pro 300A and the Villaware 2010 waffle makers. Professional/consumer groups/cooking associates all seem to rate the Villaware better but home cooks seem to prefer the Waring. Comments? Has anyone tried them both? Price is not the deciding factor as they are priced within about $10 of each other. I just want a gooooood waffle that does not come out like a hockey puck or gooey in the middle.

We bought this one because of the reviews of it being quieter and having a stronger motor. We love ours, but have never tried the other model.

I just ordered the Airhead (but from Walmart.com...where it was 80$ less) I finally found a review where one person had bought both boats (also the Sea Eagle 370 pro) and he swears the airhead is much better: http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/airhead-performance-12-travel-kayak-2-person-reviews (1th review Dont dimiss this one) Airhead has better material and tracking, seats are better and the bottom is more stiff. It even looks better. I also found some youtube videos and must say the seaeagle looks like it sinks in the middle too much. The airhead sidewalls also look much lower (easier to paddle and of course to get in after swimming). Some airhead might have problems with leaks (I will return it easely in the next Walmart if it leaks...), the SeaEagle is reported to look a little bit dirty after a few uses because the white color takes on black or blue stripes. I paid 400 with two 96" paddles, two life vests, electric 12v pump and a hand pump (for the extra psi)
