How is this different? This is a general comment about these types of poppers. The advertising is very confusing. (I bought the Great Northern Original, $36.72, which has The Twister stamped on the top.) The main differences in the stainless steel...

I believe your question is about the different gears and the stainless material. I don't know about the other poppers but the Cook N Home popper is stainless w/aluminum in the base. This makes the popper sturdy. The ones that are just aluminum are not as sturdy. I don't know if this helps or not.

I have two of these poppers -- one for home and one for work. I get the best results when I use premium popcorn (Orville Redenbacher). Cheaper popcorn with smaller kernels results in a smaller yield, with more unpopped kernels. I am very satisfied with the Presto popper, and use it all the time.

I have both @like both. The difference is one is stainless, the other is nickel. Love them both, can't beat this capo, either one of them.

Hello Jane, the difference is simply revision, and in the latest rev. they happened to luck into a few extra MH/s. i own both types, and they perform almost the same. How ever with the latest increase in difficulty earnings have gone down to $0.34 per 5 erupters / 24 hours. Keep that in mind when considering this item.

If you are asking about the price I paid for ($14.99) to the current price of ($24.99) than there aren't any differences, it's the same product just from different sellers on Amazon. I got mines directly from Amazon. But there are a lot of different sellers on Amazon and they sell it for a higher price even if it's fulfilled by Amazon. I also see Amazon have another different picture of extra fancy mixed nuts (with macadamia nuts) that's an older picture. Currently they are the same product. Cause the ones I bought also have macadamia nuts w/o the yellow label. If you have a Costco card and live near it, better just go there and buy it cause you can see the best by date and know if it's been there for too long or not. The ones I bought from Amazon was stale, been in their warehouse for too long. Hope that helps.

When I purchased mine over a year ago, it was the 'tin can' version. In my humble opinion, you should ONLY purchase the tin can version.

Not only does the Great Northern popper use the heavier weight stainless steel, but its gears are metal as well. In reading about the other light weight poppers, I saw that the gears were plastic--with use over the stove to make popcorn, the plastic gears are compromised and break.

The gears are hard plastic. I received my first popper with a broken gear tooth but the company replaced it quickly and at no extra cost to me. I've had mine a couple of years now and use it often. It still works great.

I have both. I feel the difference is the temperature stays warmer in the stainless. Flavor is great in both.

i have no idea. i went with the cheaper black one, because they were the same brand. both made in the USA. the only differences i could see were the color & the price. i don't know if the red ones have a sharper blade or not. i only bought the one. i didn't want to buy a red one & take a chance that it would be better. i just bought an electric one at walmart instead. i haven't tried it yet, because i haven't needed to open a can. i think the cans themselves are the root problem. i never used to have trouble opening a can years ago. now i think the labels go up higher on the can or something. i don't know. i've been going through can problems for like, a year. it's so frustrating! good luck! i have no idea. i went with the cheaper black one, because they were the same brand. both made in the USA. the only differences i could see were the color & the price. i don't know if the red ones have a sharper blade or not. i only bought the one. i didn't want to buy a red one & take a chance that it would be better. i just bought an electric one at walmart instead. i haven't tried it yet, because i haven't needed to open a can. i think the cans themselves are the root problem. i never used to have trouble opening a can years ago. now i think the labels go up higher on the can or... » Read More i have no idea. i went with the cheaper black one, because they were the same brand. both made in the USA. the only differences i could see were the color & the price. i don't know if the red ones have a sharper blade or not. i only bought the one. i didn't want to buy a red one & take a chance that it would be better. i just bought an electric one at walmart instead. i haven't tried it yet, because i haven't needed to open a can. i think the cans themselves are the root problem. i never used to have trouble opening a can years ago. now i think the labels go up higher on the can or something. i don't know. i've been going through can problems for like, a year. it's so frustrating! good luck! « Show Less

The first one I owned of these the handle fell off. It was a glasss handle. I was foolish enough to buy another one 10 years later hoping the handle problem had been addressed. So I thought since they changed to a silicone handle maybe they had fixed the problem. I see they have not. My main problem with this popper this time is that I didn't like the way the popcorn tasted after popping it. I only used it twice and gave it to Goodwill. I did not use it enough to wait for the handle to fall off. Even if you found another handle I don't know how you would attach it. Whatever way the manufacturer is attaching is not working so I don't think anyone else could do it either. The first one I owned of these the handle fell off. It was a glasss handle.

Are they the exact same models? If so, they might just be trying to sell you the higher priced item by tricking you. If they are the same, go with the lower price. Good luck.

I wonder if this is a knock-off. Hammacher Schlemmer calls their exact same barrel "Canadian Year Round Barrel" and charges $180. It describes why it won't freeze in their description - verbiage lacking from the Amazon description. Would you pay the extra $60 for a lifetime guarantee? I think I would.

Hi Hyeyong, I bought two different types one was more like a powder and the other more like cut up into small pieces. I prefer the one cut up which is the one you are looking at. The taste is stronger (maybe fresher) and it is easier to strain than the powder. I do not know what the different prices are about, hope this helps.Erma
