Does anybody know the differences between the Whirlibird II and the Whirlibird III? Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks!

In comparing the descriptions of the two versions of the jacket at Columbia's website, the differences I'm finding are: Whirlibird iii Construction: Zip-in and 3-point Interchange System Drawcord adjustable hem Adjustable cuff tabs Modern classic fit Fabric: Shell lining 100% nylon embossed taffeta Inner jacket exterior 100% polyester Microtex Lite II taffeta Inner jacket lining 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Microtex Omni-Heat inner jacket insulation 50% polyester/50% recycled polyester, 80g OH --------- Whirlibird ii Construction: Zip-in Interchange System Fabric: OMNI-TECH SHELL DETAILS 100% nylon SHELL LINING 100% nylon taffeta INNER JACKET EXTERIOR 100% polyester INNER JACKET LINING 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Other differences in the version III: Available colors Available color patterns Columbia only offers the newer version on their website So, there are some differences but not a lot. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for your answer. It does seem to be one specific, and newer, model that makes the running water sound. We have noticed the noise most definitely attracts other birds besides our normal residents (maybe ones that would have kept flying by without noticing?) I'd strongly recommend the version that makes the running water noise, which, I've learned, is apparently the 6WW. We're only in need of another because some raccoons took exception to our ownership of the agitator arm (that spins the water) and stole it. :( Anyway... Thanks again, everyone.

Hi, I was wondering the same thing. So I contacted Oreck directly regarding the difference between the LW100 and the LW100LR. They told me it is the exact same vacuum. The only difference is the warranty. LW100 comes with the 7 year and 3 tune ups. LW100LR only comes with 5 years and no tune ups. They also said that as long as the seller on Amazon comes up as Oreck then you are buying it from Oreck. Now, I will say that it is very curious that they (oreck.com) are advertising the LW100LR for about $40 more than here and the LW100 for over $100 more than this one on amazon (LW100LR) which states it has the 7 year warranty and 3 tune ups. I will probably be buying this here and hoping they will honor the full 7 year warranty. Hope that helps

I believe the 3000 replaces the 300. They have about the same rpm range. The 3000 has a newer design, probably some features I can't really think of right not but mostly the same

Hi Cuda - we had real problems with this unit right out of the box, and we were beginnners. It immediately flew 'crazy', and we couldn't figure out how to trim it correctly, and within 2 days were too frustrated to continue. We looked at numerous youtube videos in trying to trouble-shoot, but never got the issues resolved so we sent it back. We then bought the Traxxas 6608 LaTrax Alias Quad-Rotor Ready-To-Fly Helicopter, and had zero problems with it. The learning curve is virtually the same as the 180QX so for a beginner I would recommend it. It's very durable and hard landings haven't been an issue (as long as it lands on grass). Hard landings on asphalt or concrete will damage it (as expected). Hope this helps...

On a side note, Stanley, we had a Whirlpool one in the kitchen to cool the kitchen and livingroom areas and it finally died last year after several years of having it. We tried to replace it with one of the many brands that we've had in other rooms that were cheaper. We hated all of them and they just wouldn't cool very well at all. I finally insisted on finding another Whirlpool since our old one was so great. This was well worth the extra money. It does a great job and we love it. We would never buy another brand again. Hope this helps in your decision...

I just ordered the Airhead (but from Walmart.com...where it was 80$ less) I finally found a review where one person had bought both boats (also the Sea Eagle 370 pro) and he swears the airhead is much better: http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/airhead-performance-12-travel-kayak-2-person-reviews (1th review Dont dimiss this one) Airhead has better material and tracking, seats are better and the bottom is more stiff. It even looks better. I also found some youtube videos and must say the seaeagle looks like it sinks in the middle too much. The airhead sidewalls also look much lower (easier to paddle and of course to get in after swimming). Some airhead might have problems with leaks (I will return it easely in the next Walmart if it leaks...), the SeaEagle is reported to look a little bit dirty after a few uses because the white color takes on black or blue stripes. I paid 400 with two 96" paddles, two life vests, electric 12v pump and a hand pump (for the extra psi)

What about the DC25? I'm thinking about buying that one. Does it have the same problems as the DC17 or have they improved it? I looked at it's reviews. There's only 9, but they're pretty good.

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).

Not sure about the other models in requested comparison. My observations:- extremely effective. Moves huge volume of air.- Can be somewhat noisy. Low frequency buzz & "whoosh" of air- weak point is the angle adjustment which is governed by friction from a couple of washers and rubber grommets. Need to keep tight all the time. Suggest replacing with better/ larger fasteners

There is the Intex Mariner 3, but it is a different boat than the Sea Hawk II--maybe mostly only by name. The Mariner 3 looks like an updated version of the Sea Hawk II, but I'm comparing only by looks. You'll have to compare the size. I can tell you that the Sea Hawk II is a great boat. It's very durable. If the Mariner 3 is as good or better than the Sea Hawk, you'll be happy.

I have a Windward II fan. The owner's manual lists models 523 342 and 523 127, so it appears as though your Windward III is the same as the II. As I said in my review, this remote works the same as the original, except no light dimming...only on or off. You may want to contact the seller to be sure of compatibility.

The EB Brands Ironman is a 2.4 ghz radio system :)- that means you can fly up to 15 of these at the same time!!!- -Nice craft project to add light paint colors as well (like the mark 42: ) -Greg -this is bar none the best performing toy plane in history - I have tried all the others.the Patented turning head really helps bank him in the turns so you can get back on both power quickly-it is NOT like the other Hogs planes where you pray it turns be for it hits the ground or runs out of range-Go Ironman buy and fly several at a time : ) fight or race them! -Greg

My Whirlpool started peeling, right under the three plate support wheels. Other than that it still works good. Was considering getting one of these Danbury's. Maybe it's because I've had the Whirlpool 17 years, and the peeling started a couple of years ago. It's time for a change, I suppose, if I can make up my mind which one to buy. Thanks.

Big differences! The water rower is much more like a natural rowing feel-really has the same resistance and flow as rowing in water. Harder pulls means more resistance. The concept II, is a flywheel rower, which relies on air resistance (adjustable by vents) to deliver resistance. Works well, but less natural feelingI've used both extensively (former competitive rower) and I vastly prefer the water rower

Hello friend, I've never owned the wild whirlpool or water wheel version but I can tell you this since I did a lot of research on all of them before I purchased the big splash waterpark. The deal breaker for me (besides the fact it got the BEST reviews over all of them) was that all the parts simply snap into place rather than screw in. Over time the screws will rust and you wont be able to ever disassemble it. Also, it doesn't leak. It was very easy to put together and my daughter LOVES playing with it. All the reviews on this product were right! Hope this helped. Heidi

This was a Mode 2. It is really "twitchy" when flying. I personally like the Blade 300X much better being a tad larger and the ability to set it up as a beginner, if needed. mCpx V2 are just two hard to fly unless you are an absolute EXPERT. Choice is yours, but me I would not buy another one. Hope this clarifies a few things.
