What made you decide on this vs. model 9917?

Both castles are very similar. The Magic castle is in the shape of a pentagon vs 9917 which is a square.

Although I have both, I prefer the 102 is it is smaller, its blade is thinner and narrower which in my mind makes it a more useful and versatile knife. The 119 is a cool knife also but it is very large and stout. I do love the brown handle versus the black, it is worth the extra cost in my view.

No. 920 is longer than the 900. I do think they make one now for the 920 though.

It was a tough decision. The 3000 was heavier (smoother ride) and had a longer warrantee so I didn't purchase and extended warrantee. Been very happy with the 3000. Used daily by myself and my wife (neither of us are very big or go very fast).

I actually have purchased both... I was more impressed with the SWMP4LS. It is larger, fells more beefy in my hand, and has a smooth spring action. The 5 model is springier, but snappier. The blade on the 5 is much more pointy, which you may like, but I don't. Both safeties have worked well for me. Again though, the 4 model I prefer much more for most jobs. Much larger, but that doesn't matter much to me. If size or weight is an issue, maybe the 5 model would be best.

A little late to the discussion, but I just want to point out that Consumer Reports ranks the WD-Y57 much higher than the other model. A score of 69 vs 63. The top score in the category is 74.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I bought the Hobart 210 only because I'm usually financially embarrassed. I had a tough enough time reaching for the 210, let alone that upper shelf 211. But, the 211 is supposed to be the better machine. And, if you're just the typical homeowner, the Hobart 140 would most likely be all that you would ever need and at half the cost.

Looks like the 9" is on a "sale" with the original list price at 199.00 - might actually be a better bargain than the smaller model at the same price

I prefer the more powerful ones like the 9280. I bought my daughter one also. It is well worth the money..

There are size differences between the 2 inversion tables. The 9910 is smaller in size but weighs more and holds the same weight as the 9915. The price is an excellent price and is great

Brother has a very nice comparison page here: http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelCompare/4/MFC9560CDW_MFC9970CDW?tab=full Basically, the 9970 handles legal sized paper, is 20% faster (30 ppm vs 25 ppm), and has a larger ADF (50 pages vs. 35 pages).

From the comments I've seen, it looks like the Kenwood DNX891HD has gotten rave reviews and scant criticism. Its a completely different OS. The software was written by a different party than the DNN991HD. I haven't sprung for the 891 since I already have the 991. If the prices come down significantly, then I will probably make that swap.

I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to decide between the 7411 & the 5914. I've seen the reviews, both seem to be good. It's my assumption that the 7411 is a newer model and it's only $20 more. Is it worth the extra or will the 5914 be just as good?

I don't own either but one difference I did see in researching both models is that this one has "variable suction control" while the 917 appears not to have this. So I would say this is definitely an upgrade. Personally, I find that feature very important for vacuuming lamps, curtains, etc. and would pay more for this.

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

I don't know the difference. I have the 8893 and it performs very well. I cannot imagine what more "bells and whistles" one would need.

I was planning on upgrading to the SP590UZ so I sold my SP565. I think I made a bad move because the price is way to high on the SP590 right now, a full $200 more than you can get an new SP565 for. I know this is outside the discssion so I'll leave it at that.
