Aside from the electronic controls on this model and the supposedly manual controls on the AC5000, are there differences in effectiveness?

The only other difference ( electronic vs. manual controls) is that this particular model (AC5250PT) comes with the PetPure Treatment Filter. The filter still is a True HEPA filter (99.97% capture rate down to .3 microns in size) but also has been treated with a fungistatic agent that kills odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew. If you have pets this is a helpful feature.

Yes. I haven't played around with the manual settings as much, but you can adjust those functions.

According to the chart Amazon provides, the timer appears to be a feature of the 5000 only. In fact it's one of two major differences between the two models. Since the current prices are only $7 apart, I'd be inclined to get the new 5000 if I wanted to be sure it had that feature.

I'm not sure about the difference but I have the 103 and it worked pretty good. The one major downfall was that it can be set off very easy, so easy that it kept accidentally sounding off.

Hi, Could not find much difference in the models. Mine works just great. Try either one & I believe they will be ok. cwr

it has both features, BUT I would not buy it again. the instruction manual is very bad. I called the support no. and the person was quite uncivil.

One goes up with the push of a button (electric) and one goes up/down manually. If you have more than one regular user, it might make sense to spend the extra money to have the convenience of the electric raise/lower option. The other difference in models on Amazon is the model year-each model has slight improvements (very slight).

I've never tested the unit with a control, but the results seem correct. It has proven durable so far, over a year and still running perfectly.

A,B,C,etc are just different packages with different amount of accessories. That is the ONLY different. Other than that the Control boxes on these packages are EXACTLY the same box.

yes but the manual does not tell you vary much the best way is by the computer and it better.

the c is updated and is the tranlucent model while the a is solid black on one side and white on the other they are both amplified far as performance i do not know i think they both have the same technology here is a review site you can check out http://winegardfl5500a.com/

I think the main differences are a better filter and digital controls. But you can do a comparison on their website to make sure.

I initially had the SC-600A model with the control buttons but when that died Schumacher sent me this CA model. The whole process took so long I just left it as is.

The 4930 cost more, is 5" smaller, and the controls are arranged differently. Other than that, I don't see much of a difference in the two. If you are looking for a model that will circulate the air in the room with some efficiency, keep it cool, and has simple to understand buttons, the cheaper of the two will work for you. I use mine in my masterbed room and that's a good 11' x 19'. Mine has kept my room well cooled during the hot summer months and keeps it cool. It works best in an area on the floor that it won't get knocked over by rowdy kids or out of control pets. Though my cats bumped me into mine and I knocked my over and no damage done. Works perfectly like the day I bought it. You just don't want to knock over any fan no matter what and place it on a firm level surface for best stability. Just my words of wisdom there, or call it the voice of experience. Save the extra cash and go for the model #4443 I'm sure you won't be terribly disappointed with the purchase.

What the difference is, I do not know. I have the 511AX and I am extremely pleased with it.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I went ahead and ordered the 880. The reason why I like the Advanced One is because it has so many buttons that you can configure. Plus it looks so slick in the black. Hopefully the 880 can serve all my remoting needs.

The descriptions are confusing and at first do look identical, but they aren't. The Power model has four PROGRAM SETTINGS for general, crowds, nature and power boost, depending on the environment you find yourself in; that latter one is quite loud even for me, and I can usually stay on the general setting. So as you go from home to church or a theater and then to a walk in the park, you can press the button to change the program setting to match that environment. It does make a difference, but I haven't always found it helpful. The Pro model has four SOUND PROCESSING CHANNELS, which are not the same thing as programs, and you cannot change these "channels". I bought one of these when my Power model broke in less than three months, and the Pro model was sufficient in most situations, but I was anxious to get my Power model back. (It was repaired, but not replaced, under warranty.) It depends on the different environments you find yourself in whether you need the Power model or not.
