Why such a high price? Is there a reason this is over twice as expensive?

The Lithium Ion technology is much more expensive. Check the price of a cell phone battery per pound! Much more safety circuitry is involved in the batteries and the chargers. Also much more product liability insurance costs. A Li Ion "melt down" is almost always a fire. Don't charge them unattended.

Hi, Not sure who you are asking this is a random message board but I can say this particular item had a price increase from the manufacturer so that is probably why we have no control over that but I know it did not double. Thanks

It shouldn't be $40. You might want to check with the seller with the price you were given.

I can't believe the current price! I bought this unit about three years ago for $100 and now the price has more than tripled? What gives, Amazon?

I noticed the same thing, Kurt. I'm planning on getting this after the new year, but if the price keeps going up on this site, I may try a less expensive alternative!

I'm with you. I was going to purchase from Amazon but, than I noticed they are WAY more expensive here?

You aren't the only one who wants to know why this is so much more expensive now. I broke my upper bowl and was going to get another. Can't find a replacement now for just the upper bowl and the complete siphon is a bit too pricey lately. Still waiting for the price to drop some. :(

Amazon is not selling it for half the price, I am. I am a small business who buys things wholesale and sells them on amazon, I don't have much of an overhead and I do not mark my items up to the moon like retail stores do. Yreka7

WoooooooooW $168?! You're right... this is tooo expensive. I only paid like $65 for it in May of last year. I'm assuming it's expensive because you can't get it anywhere anymore. I would try ebay. Don't know where else to look. Sorry

I have the same question. Why has the price doubled again since August 2014?

it is deinitely not worth $400. I think I paid about $90. That is probably too much.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

I have never seen a price so high for this product. Plus, it is not clearly stated if the price is for one box. I would never pay for this item at the price listed. Buy from a different seller. I hope this helps.

No. Sorry to see the huge price increase - nearly double of what I paid 3 ½ months ago! I don't think I'd want to spend that amount.

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

Thanks so much for your inquiry. This item is sold out everywhere. That is why the price is higher than usual.

I paid about $28 for it back in May, and I was going to get another one, but cannot believe the price hike! It's got to be some sort of error. It's a great fan, but not for that price!
