Has anyone compared this side by side to the much less expensive models (as cheap as $65)? Is it worth the added expense?

I think it is. Another family member bought the little red campfire...I don't remember it's name exactly. I felt it was a far inferior unit. I love the campfire in a can. The unit looks and feels like a real campfire. The campfire in a can is ABSOLUTELY worth the extra money. You won't regret buying it.

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 use mine occasionally. There are now DOZENS of competitors on the market. I have not compared mine with less expensive options. The foxLV2 does remain a very well constructed unit.

having owned cheap as well as expensive models (this one being in the middle range) I haven't noticed any difference.

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron

Hi. This is a professional model.. The $80 or so ones are not.. Look at the specs 100 power level settiings, cheaper models give you about 10 and they are not anyway near as precise. I do not have a cheaper model so my comparison is by a lot of research I did, reading reviews, etc. etc.I own 2 of these and do not regret the expense at all but then I am into precision cooking also.Good luck in your search Glenn

I think so but the cheaper one works well so I am not paying twice the price.

From what I have read the 65 is a better T.V. but is a couple hundred dollars more. I own the 65 and so far I am very impressed and would pay the extra money for the 65. Then again, I haven't seen the 61 but based on reviews that is what I would conclude. By the way, the price on the 65 fluctuates A LOT... I just bought it for 2164.99 August 5th. Two days later it was 2144.99 and a couple after that it was 2999.99 so I would be patient and wait until a good price comes around.

We have been very happy with the unit and are considering getting another one. I haven't used other makes/models so I can't give you a comparison.

Descriptions are the same. Go with the less expensive one. Difference in price is significant.

It was my second choice. The Panasonic was $150 more(at the time) and I liked the sealed motor on the Prolux 7000. I had a older Panasonic industrial before before but it was not as good, smaller motor, more plastic parts and kind'a noise. But the Panasonic is still a good sweeper. Its your money I can't tell you which is best. I just liked the Prolux more for the price. Time will tell it I made the right choice. My girlfriend thought the red color was bad ass and as long as she is on the other end of it (and not me). What mom'a wants mom'a gets!

There is no difference. Not sure why you are seeing it as more expensive. I'd just try to get the larger one at the lowest price you can find.

Hello,I remember choosing between the two as well. What I found out is it was the same (tray load). Its lower price is due to the fact that it doesn't come with the Multimedia Suite, which I didn't want anyway.

Gamble. Thanks for the reply. If you read the reviews on Amazon it seems that the reviewers seem to think the 65 model is better! I would go for the 65 as I want the best display as possible. I watch soccer and need the better fast motion that this model should display (less blurry) hope this helps. Keep in touch!Mike

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

I have not compared with other units, however I didn't pay $95.00 either. I haven't seen or had to clean any cobwebs in my home. That alone is worth the money. I have a total of 6 in my home. plug it in and forget about it. I also have had my home insulated and sealed this summer, I'm sure that also helped.

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.
