Does anybody know the differences between the Whirlibird II and the Whirlibird III? Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks!

In comparing the descriptions of the two versions of the jacket at Columbia's website, the differences I'm finding are: Whirlibird iii Construction: Zip-in and 3-point Interchange System Drawcord adjustable hem Adjustable cuff tabs Modern classic fit Fabric: Shell lining 100% nylon embossed taffeta Inner jacket exterior 100% polyester Microtex Lite II taffeta Inner jacket lining 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Microtex Omni-Heat inner jacket insulation 50% polyester/50% recycled polyester, 80g OH --------- Whirlibird ii Construction: Zip-in Interchange System Fabric: OMNI-TECH SHELL DETAILS 100% nylon SHELL LINING 100% nylon taffeta INNER JACKET EXTERIOR 100% polyester INNER JACKET LINING 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Other differences in the version III: Available colors Available color patterns Columbia only offers the newer version on their website So, there are some differences but not a lot. Hope this helps.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

I am reading the reviews from all over trying to decide between the Waring Pro 300A and the Villaware 2010 waffle makers. Professional/consumer groups/cooking associates all seem to rate the Villaware better but home cooks seem to prefer the Waring. Comments? Has anyone tried them both? Price is not the deciding factor as they are priced within about $10 of each other. I just want a gooooood waffle that does not come out like a hockey puck or gooey in the middle.

Hi...I, personally, liked the pro glider version better. It seemed less plastic-like and more like something that he could use much longer than the "my first" version. My son, who turned 3 in May, received his for Christmas and he loves to ride around on his.I hope this helps! I know he will enjoy it.Thanks!

I'm confused. Does this model have a 3HP Motor (as it says in the specs page) or just the standard 2HP? I want to buy the 3HP model

Nautilus R514 Recumbant post: Your review is good - and not having seen these two sister products side-by-side, I would definitely say that the Schwinn display looks more updated (color, etc.) while the Nautilus looks bad. You did miss one thing: the R514 has a 'powerful fan.' Now, I like that feature, but I can get the 240 for $399 including tax and shipping. That means that for $150 I get a better warranty and a fan, but many of the reviewers on various sites have said that the fan is, in the words of Charles Barkley, TURRIBLE! So I agree with you, and am going to order the Schwinn. Using an external fan may not be chic, but it probably works better and it's free (top shelf of my hall closet :-)). Thanks for the fine review - well done.

Buy the wltoys v912. It's very easy to fly and can take a beating. I have had 3 doublehorse 9116's and I'm not impressed.

I don't remember. I got fed up with the changes made in the design and the difficulty of finding it at a reasonable price so I ordered a Whirlpool that is the same size, but is easier to clean and has more wattage!

What about the DC25? I'm thinking about buying that one. Does it have the same problems as the DC17 or have they improved it? I looked at it's reviews. There's only 9, but they're pretty good.

I am also wondering which one to buy for my 19 month old little girl.There's only a $10 price difference. I want to know which one she will enjoy the most and actually use.

the 330 got much better reviews than the 340- I was going to buy the 340 but instead bought the 330 which I love so much I bought a second one as a spare- pics are awesome!

If 885T is better and 2009 model, why model 880 is still more expensive than the 885T? I have seen some comments about 885T not being so good in terms of quick alternate lane calculations, voice quality etc. Are these the same problems with 880 as well? Which one should I buy? Thanks.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

Yes....I'm on my 1st 912(it now flys where it wants to)AND my 3rd 913 which is truly remarkable~~3 times I flew it up, up and out of sight....twicethe 1st one came back...however, the 3rd time, I think an eagle took it !! The 2nd 913 crashed so many times, I need a new motor. The 3rd 913works nicely(so far)...Also I have had a few 911s. The 1st one flew 2mo. with many crashes after I landed it a hot tub at the end of its first flight!

My Whirlpool started peeling, right under the three plate support wheels. Other than that it still works good. Was considering getting one of these Danbury's. Maybe it's because I've had the Whirlpool 17 years, and the peeling started a couple of years ago. It's time for a change, I suppose, if I can make up my mind which one to buy. Thanks.

From what I read before the motor is stronger in the Elite. The description for the Elite also says this: "New, 2x more powerful motor than original Yonanas". I haven't had an issue with the motor on the regular Yonana so I don't know if it's worth spending the extra money.
