This one is SOO much cheaper than others. What's the catch???

There is no catch, our prices are subject to change without notice. We have deals going on all the time.

From the reviews they're cheap because they're cheaply made and fail often. Still, even if one outlet gos out it's a good deal :-/ Why someone can't make a wide-spaced power strip without the switches for a similar price is beyond me!

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

There are several different model numbers that have different options with different prices. The one that I chose had variety of different prices, nearly a hundred dollars difference. I ordered the cheap one. It took several weeks to get it. Contacted seller many times and eventually got the unit but received no response until weeks later. Love the product. It works great.

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!

The travel stool that I bought cost $99 and so if you see another one for less money it must be from some other supplier that selling it for less-suggest that you carefully check who's selling the cheaper model.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

Different vendors post different prices. I doubt there's any difference other than price, but there are other brands out there on Amazon. This product is the best value tho.

There is no difference, these are being sold by people who hope to get more for their product. Some charge a bargain price some don't. Just like in competing stores, the same thing goes on here at Amazon as well as places like Ebay on the internet.

There's no explaining why different sites have different prices for the same items. I certainly don't know! LOL Go for the cheaper one. That's what I'd do. :-)

Why would they claim an orig price of $55? Who would pay $55 for this? Think the savings is majorly inflated and, frankly, irresponsible. Having said this, I have one that I bot at a discount store for $4 and I love it. To pay$6 for one is not unreasonable but to insinuate that it could be retailed for $55 is ridiculous.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

I have not used the cheaper one, so I am not sure. I just know this one is perfect and doesn't cost very much.

I guess. It looks and works great, so I'd go for the cheaper one if you like the color. I love mine.

Buy the cheaper one it works fine. I think the reason in price is they are being sold buy different vendor through Amazon.

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

That's a question better answered by the retailer I suspect. Maybe it's more popular and therefore they can charge more? However, the insert is the same regardless of the color. It works great.

I've wondered that myself. I bought the cheapest one and it works beautifully. Not one complaint.
