I'm not real impressed with this hair dryer. My hair is long and it sucks my hair in the back of dryer, not a safe thing..... And I'm not familiar with the elchim.

I think twin turbo makes a higher quality product. This specific model isn't my favorite though. I recommend the 3200. I do about 70 blowdrys a week and I've only had to replace it once every 18 months or so.

I have both and the Hakko has a finer tip with not so much heat. I use the Hakko for model railroading and it is sufficient for everything I do. The small size and cordless design make it a pleasure to use. No stand is needed because I can just lay it down. The biggest complaint is that it goes through batteries quickly. Don't even try using anything less than lithium. Copper tops are only good for less than 1/2 hour of continuous use. The lithiums are good for 3 or 4 times that long, but they are expensive. This product is not designed for heavy duty jobs. It's basically a hobby tool. I have both and the Hakko has a finer tip with not so much heat.

I can't say that I've used the electric model, as we purchased the manual one. But honestly, its super easy to use. We made nearly 200 programs for a charity event and it didn't take that long. I don't believe the advantage of an electric model justifies the extra cost.

It has slightly higher quality components, but both are excellent machines.I hope that helps.

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

I just got off the phone with Elchim and although they state 12 month warranty, they warranty all parts and labor for lifetime. All you have to do is send a CK for $22 to cover the shipping return fee, but all other costs to repair the unit is free of charge. So there's never a reason to have to buy a new Elchim dryer.

With e-bikes 36 volts is better than 24 volts by far. So it stands to reason that 36 volts is way better than 20. I have the full collection of Dewalt 20 and 36 volt tools. The 36 volt tools do everything better if you need better torque, Higher RPMs or even much longer battery life and faster charging ! Keep in mind every 36 volt battery they give you is worth as much in time and power as 2 BIG 20 volt battery. Getting 2 x 36 volt batteries is as if they gave you 5 20 volt batteries. They also charge twice as fast and they allow you to drive into concrete, steel, stone much better than 20 volt systems. The circular saw at 36 volts will cut thru 4x 4 and 4x6 stock like it was butter ! The 20 volt saw is whinning and sputtering a lot. If you were going to get extra batteries with your 20 volt system, that cost alone will run your package beyond the cost of the 36 volt kit with 2 batteries. Thanks all

I have one of each. My reason for buying the EI600LAC was that I read a specification somewhere stating it was rated for 20 amps and I have it on a 20 amp line. Both seemed to program and work the same. I really like them.

Yes, a good one. I,m using the UMC 200 and it is excellent. The difference between a fine one and a common one is like day and nigth. I was very surprised.

I would not recommend this one. We bought so many of them last year as Christmas gifts, and 75% of them have already failed. By the BLACK Xhose instead. I've had NO problems with this one, which is heavier duty, and a larger circumference, and also has very sturdy metal connections that are brass.

Since I have both I would say the E-tool is better when it comes to utility. It is more versatile. Given my experience with Gerber though it probably is more durable and higher quality. The e-tool typically lasts me a year and then I have to replace it. I do tend to abuse it though and usually will opt for the cheaper knock-off version as opposed to the branded version which is a little more expensive and is probably better made.

It is a decent dryer, My expectations were the blowing of the dryer to be much stronger like the Solaris 2500 but the Elchim has a fast blow though not as strong as the Silaris 2500. In all the Elchim is a good dryer and it works good for fine and curly hair

Sorry - the 520 is the only Elph that I have owned. Still very pleased with it.

Thank you for your inquiry -the ESP factory pickups are really very good but the EMG 81/85 pickups is certainly a step up in quality. Hope this helps.

The Elite is supposed to be 2X more powerful than the regular model. The Elite is the only one I've used so I really can't compare the two.

I don't know the answer to this question, but I used both an Ergo and the BBII and I chucked my Ergo once I tried the BBII. IMO it's worlds better. See my review for why.

According to the description-the Elchim 2001 is16-1800W and Elchim 2001 HP is17-2000W. I have had mine for over five years as a professional hairdresser. It has been sent in once during that time to fix a loose cord which was covered under warranty. I have yet to use my backup Elchim. Nothing compares to it. For reference- I have the Elchim 2001.
