Any recommendations on whether to get the 14" or the 18"?

Get the 18 inch, it will do a better job of keeping the squirrels from climbing the pole to get to the bird feeder.

The 18" model is what I ordered and it works well, although I am not sure how they measure it, because if I use a tape measure from the center hole edge to the outside edge, it is less than 12"

Once you purchase and install a baffle, you will see it is "free flooding" on the pole. In my opinion, squirrels will continue trying to "beat the system" on a smaller 14". An 18" keeps them from trying to beat the baffle. Squirrels are wily little creatures and still go up the pole just to look and see if there is a way around. It is funny to watch and we love this baffle!

I recommend the 18''. I bought mine to keep out the squirrels out. They were still able to jump on top of the baffle. I guess I need to get a longer shepherds hook.

It probably doesn't matter. As long as it will fit the pole you want to attach it too. Mine are about 3-1/2 feet off the ground on shepherds hooks.Recently a squirrel has managed to leap straight up from the ground to grab onto the bottom of my bird feeder and defeat the anti-squirrel ring altogether. I've seen him do this several times. I've looked for taller shepherds hooks, but no one appears to make anything taller.

I have an 18 foot which works well for me. But don't cut down the 15' to 14 feet. Just fold the extra foot upward laying against the side which will give you more padding at the corner curve relieving stress on the linner when people step close to the upright walls. Hope this helps

Now that the price was jacked up $200 you might want to look into getting the newer model on Apple's website (especially if you can get a student or corporate discount). If price is not as much of an issue for you, then you might want to look into the new 17-inch model because it has much better battery life and the larger screen will be better for watching movies.

That just depends on the size of work you want to do. I've had no problems with the 16" being too small.

I purchased the 16" Excalibur over the 21" and have had NO regrets. I do intarsia with it and find it more than adequate.

I bought the 17 inch but it is pretty big. It is really nice thought I really like it.

The 14 inch has plenty of room to cook for even a family. I bought the 16 inch and my regular cook stove doesn't have enough heat to get it up to temperature. Regarding handles, I prefer one long handle so I can pick the wok up one handed, leaving my other hand to work the tools.

Can't answer that I've never had an 18.5. I will say the 14.5 is excellent for my purposes, normally cooking for two but can cook enough meat for up to 8 folks. Great little smoker one of the best I have ever used.

First, if you are set on a 14 inch laptop like I was, this one is the deal. You can find better pricing on 15.6 inch lappys but generally they aren't as powerful. They still may meet your needs as the tendency is to overbuy. Look at the top 100 list for amazon computers

I would get the 14inch!!! I got the 16inch and it is MASSIVE. I underestimated everyone who said it was way too large and bought it for my boyfriend. Very huge and hard to store in the kitchen. If I could do it again I would get the 14 inch or smaller. Because it's so big it's also hard to hold with just the handle because it's heavy. Great wok besides the sheer enormity.

I recommend the 55". It will give you more choices for hand grip placement; for shoulder and arm comfort.

I would get the 20 " because you can always remove a link or two very easily.Hope this helps

I got my husband the 18.5" for Christmas and he LOVES IT. Uses it every weekend. He has smoked a turkey and two racks of ribs at the same time. Not sure how big your family is, but the 18.5 may be just fine for your needs. I can't speak to the 22.5" since we don't have one.

Aloha Mike I got the 24" one. i like it better because it wraps more and gives me personally better support. Hope this helps. God bless and have a God day! Kani'ala

I use only a 12" in it and it fits fine. I can't tell you about a 14" sorry.

It really depends on your laptop; I got the 17 inch because I'm buying a larger laptop and it's too large for my 15 inch laptop.

Both should work. Technically it would use 8in but I'm using 14in and they work just fine for me.
