What is the difference between platinum and non-platinum?

I think it has to do with the amount of protection from heat/cold. But if you really want to know specifics why don't you call the Gila customer help line at 1-800-528-4481.

Hello!! I called gila on this same question. They told me the platinum was designed specifically for the Home Depot chain. And it may be sold other places like amazon or independent sellers. The gila rep told me that the only difference in all heat control film is one blocks like 93 percent of UVA and UVB rays, and the platinum blocks like 95 percent, she said ultimately there is no difference in performance except the platinum because of it's Color , blocks out a couple more percentage points of sun rays. But I personally recommend the platinum this stuff is so cool! I live in a 2 story condo and my kitchen window faces the parking lot, I like to people watch and see what's going on out there, In the daytime, this stuff is a high gloss silver mirror to those on the outside, and I can stand and gawk and stare out the window at people and nobody knows I'm even looking at them! It's a great color, and provides great heat reduction! I highly recommend it..

It fits my platinum, but I don't know of any difference between the bed on a platinum and a limited.

Blue is platinum coated and costs slightly more. I don't know how much of a "real" difference it makes. If one were to believe all the ads over the years about newest razors having the closest shave you ever had, one could hold the razor a foot away from the face and it'd still give a shave.

Yes. The biggest difference is detail and the platinum has several maps in 3D.

Yes it is the Platinum model. The regular model is dark black in color, and is not blue tooth capable.

I don't know. But when I read platinum, I expected something a little nicer than the pan it comes with.

I had the same dilemma while choosing my BBQ and I chose the Silver because I preferred the materials used in the side table. The silver has an aluminum side table that will hold up and last longer in the life of the BBQ. The platinum has plastic like material for the table portion that most likely will not have as much longevity as the aluminum. I have a separate container for charcoal so the storing portion of the Platinum is useless to me. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of the Silver and would recommend it to anyone consider buying one. Really well made BBQ for the price.

Another major difference - Nouvelle is one of the best aluminum pans for induction, Advanced doesn't work on induction at all. It lacks a steel induction plate.

I don't know anything about the Platinum. The B140 is noisier than the B40 because it has a much stronger, and astronomically better, pump. However, the noise isn't that bad and it is very short since the pump is stronger. I agree wholeheartedly with the two previous responses. They ruined the home brewers when they tried to reduce the noise (only accomplished a slight reduction).

Nouvell has the copper bottom for transfer the advance has stainless steel. Both are great pans I prefer the nouvelle . These are heavy pans and I have ordered the whole set over the last year.

The Ultimate Line is Silver in color ( 50 years +/-). The Platinum Line is Gold in color ( 60 years +/-)

As far as I can tell the only difference is that the Platinum edition has a gas powered charcoal starter, the gold does not.

I have the NON ULTRA version and the only difference between this model and the ULTRA model is the backplate on the older model is black plastic...so you're paying extra money for the stainless steel backplate on the Ultra model. All functions are the same on both models...selecting brew strength, to hold warm for 4 hrs....etc. The backplate is the ONLY difference.

No. The Platinum edition has aluminum upgrade parts and sway bars included. This is your basic truck but still is a great ride right out of the box.

No, this one is not the one with the platinum rim. You need to specifically look for the Lismore Platinum collection to get the platinum rim.

I'm not sure of the exact difference, but I do not recommend this product. Waste of money.

I think just saying blonde gives an idea of platinum. But it was a little more strawberry blonde. Or darkish blonde. It's pretty accurate to the picture.
