how does this compare to more expensive models from Winix?

Not sure about remote control but you really don't need one with the "auto" feature. I love this model and would buy it again!

I have the 6300 with the remote control, but I never use it, so I don't consider that feature to be very important. I just leave it on auto and let it do its thing 24/7, as it doesn't draw much power, ramping up and down as necessary on its own.

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!

That is the real question This vs Vitamix or BlendTecLooks like most of the reviewers in the Amazon Vine program have not used/bought high end blenders like Vitamix/Blendtec and give their glowing reviews comparing to a typical <$100 low powered blender, typically a $40-$60 Oster blender. Hence most of the Vine reviews are useless since they got a high end blender for free and compare their experience to a $50 blender. The real useful review would come from an existing owners of one of those high priced blenders who paid real money to get this and the other one, do not benefit from sales commissions for marketing the other ones, and have ability to compare them side by side.

Mint runs great on it! I have three Brix, this being one of them, and the latest Mint is awesome on this hardware.

I'm sorry that i can't offer you a comparison. I like how this bissell cleans, i like all the add-on tools, and the heavy duty sturdiness. It's heavy, practically needs its own garage, and is bulky. We think it's worth the effort. Other reviewers who like it helped me select this model, and we don't regret the purchase especially at the reasonable price. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the info. The VSX-9040 is only $6 more. Let us know how you like it if you get it. I haven't decided yet.

VX-2 is an up grade from VX-1 both are great. For price VX-1 price is good. If price is not an option go with VX-2

Jay I have 4 of these Might Mules for several years now. I am going to give you my answer that worked after I vent. Mighty Mule has an advantage because of market share -- the clicker, parts, batteries, etc. all at Home Depot, Tractor Supply, etc. And they have been reasonably reliable. I can see from the DVR and magazine size instruction booklet that they have had customers provide feedback that the user interface is not "5 star". At least it is not for me. I think I finally assumed in the black and white documentation that black meant black and white meant red and put the black into the insert toward the top and red (or positive if using different color wire) is beneath it. I think I reversed it once and the good thing is it just blows the fuse which is easy to change. Another good thing is you have the 500 which is way easier to deal with than the 350 by far. I have two other things to add. When the thing starts beeping at some point (and it will) the first guess is always the battery, they go out between 1-2 years. Sometimes it will jam and it will be necessary to unhook the arm and manually screw it in a few rounds or so to get it unjammed then hold the close set button down to clear then reset the closed position. Reading the beep sequence guide in the manual was, for me, interesting. I hope Mighty Mule has a social media group that reads these posts and will see I am not flaming them. If I bought a 5th unit it would be a Mighty Mule. BUT, I would pay them $100 to get a "500 Plus" for which there was an LED read out of status, well marked and easier interfaces. I have to pull out the manual every time one of my 4 goes on the blink. Come on Mighty Mule ... congrats on achieving market share dominance now fortify it by improving user interface. Hire someone from Apple engineering to oversee moving to a more fool proof (I am the fool here, not Jay) interface.

Not sure about win7. I gave up and went MacOsX. And it works like a charm. No hitches. Install software/drivers and you have a choice of FireWire/thunderbolt. I like it a lot

Few servers come with an OS out of the box. Win Server 2011 is fifty bucks here. You'll also be smart to throw in more RAM. If you are not used to tearing apart PC's or working with routers and switches, this machine is on the end of the tech cycle and probably not the best toy for you, unless you want to learn a LOT.

There is no reason not to get this computer, well, Win8 isn't as smooth as Win7, but really ASUS didn't do that. Ok, so, The i5 S56CA, it has an Optical Drive, big plus in the Ultrabook category. It has a top of the line WiFi card. Some people freak out about the 'chiclet' style keyboard, then they use it a bit and realize they like it. Honestly, the only thing I would change, will change, is the HDD to a SDD. At this price point you are getting a lot, a fast drive is not one of those things. They put the 5400 rpm spinner in to save battery life, an SSD costs more than this HDD but will save even more battery since there are no moving parts in a SSD. Yada, yada, You won't go wrong, unless you are a gamer, in which case the HD4000 will not stand up to the rigors of today's games and their intensive graphics. Writing papers and doing research? I don't see anything keeping you from that.

I own two of these Units and they work great with the Upgraded $99 filter (Winix Size 21 Washable Ultimate Filter Cartridge (114190) ). I have tried washing the filters and I would say once max. I don't know who is rinsing them six times but I cant get anywhere near the same performance even after one wash with either sets of filters. That's the part they don't tell you. Every six months another $99 bucks for a filter. They work excellent though.RT

Try a different one. I was skeptical as well... you won't find one for much less than $300 US. Worth it though!

The material you choose depends on what you plan on using it for. This material costs more than the Flexiwhite and is a fairly stiff material (i.e. you don't stretch it and therefore more difficult to work with if you want to mount it somewhere). In terms of gain, it is only marginally better than Flexiwhite and, if this is damaged during shipping or use, there is no way to repair it. If I had my installation to do over again, I would have gone with the Flexiwhite. This material is really geared for professional installations. Projector setups work best with very low ambient light. The BenQ W1070 is a very nice projector - I'm using it in my setup with the ProWhite - but it still performs the best in a very dark room.

I personally believe buying the BNF and the DX6i works a lot better I had issues withe the start up of the quad copter and trimming the controls. The DX6i has a monitor that you can see the trim. Also you can store 10 models in the controller. I use the DX6i with my nano QX for practice it's a lot cheaper than wrecking the 350

I bought the Xoom on sale for $400. It feels solid, is well made and works well. The screen is crystal clear. I felt Thrive has some bugs to iron out still. The Thrive with 32 gig is about $570, while the Xoom was cheaper for me and it has 32 gig included. I will most likely tether the Xoom to my phone since the Xoom is Wifi only. You can't go wrong with either unit, and by the time the next ones come out the tablets should be a lot better for a cheaper price.
