What's the difference between this ice pack and "Bentgo ice packs" (much cheaper!)?

This one fits in the Medela cooler provided with the pump. Also, it's shape fits perfectly around the Medela bottles.

Medela Ice pack is designed to fit four baby bottles around it while the Bentgo looks flat. I've never used the other ice pack so I can't comment on how well they work.

No problems for us. This is our second ice pack from them. They both continue to work fine. I would recommend contacting the company and ask for a replacement.

I think it depends a bit on your ice. If I use my "drier ice" from my freezer it tends to be finer. If I use bagged ice or ice that is starting to melt just a little bit, you will get the courser ice of traditional snow cones. So you can get either one. You will be happy with this machine.

The ice packs are removable. We have had the product for 3 years and we still use it and love it.

I believe you can buy an ice pack seperately. I put the lunchbox in the fridge and that keeps it cold too.

They both look exactly the same in function, its just the 21 is a bit smaller and has more plastic. Check this guy's video on Youtube and it breaks down the ICE-21. http://youtu.be/jPPdSCHBTR4 And he did the same for the ICE-30BC: http://youtu.be/Q40vHKdJmpY

Yes, the ice pack is included in the purchase. I haven't used the ice pack so I can't speak to how cold it keeps the food, but it seems like it's in a good place to keep both the dip and veggies chilled. Overall I love it. Perfect size for a healthy snack and dip.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

yes. I already have. The ice packs seem to leak out over time and you are left with empty sections. I do not like that they seem fragile but I love the results of the product.

Don't know answer, but I see two other people have answered this question. The better question is the "price" of this item! $25.00 for two is ridiculous...I remember when they were literally pennies a piece. I don't use the tops 'cuz I don't need them and getting out the frozen cubes are not as easy as they used to be because they now don't add the "lever" that you pull up to loosen the cubes. These seem to be the best there is, but I'm not at all sure they are worth it. At least the cubes are a good size, as opposed to what you get from an icemaker in todays fridges. Those cubes are basically non-existent..... Don't know answer, but I see two other people have answered this question.

I think water. The pack does have hard "cubes" throughout when frozen. Works well. I use it nearly every day since about last November.

From what I can find on the Microsoft site, the difference is in the packaging. It's probably just cheaper/simple cardboard packaging, so it costs less.

Yes, an ice pack. There is a mesh holder for one on the inside lid of the carrying case. PlanetBox sells their own line of ice pack, but any of the rectangular ones will work fine.

I believe I read in the description section that it was the upgrade model from the old model. I installed it & I have not had any leaks or complaints about bad tasting ice. It works!

Really I have no idea about that. My best suggestion is to tryone on in a store, and order the pack from Amazon if it's cheaper.

I have not compared the two, They stay cold for a couple of days or longer if more are used together. The outer layer seems to be durable but they still seep some of the liquid material. I bought some 2 gallon ziplock freezer bags and put one sheet in each ziplock bag. Got rid of most of the sticky.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other orthe price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machineto freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.
