is there a difference between the OXO good grips set and the OXO soft works set?

I don't know the answer to your question. I do recommend the the Oxo Good Grips Pepper Grinder. After a year, it's the best grinder I've bought. Trudeau is a common brand that I purchased in the past but they always broke after a year or two.

It's not a deal breaker for me. I ordered a Kuhn Rikon Cool Gripper from Amazon for $12 [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B671DY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1] and use that more often than the handle it came with. Have had this set for almost a year now and am still using it and still love it.

When I've bought them at places like Marshall's and TJ Maxx, they've been the same. As long as they're OXO, I would think they would most definitely be the same sizes--why would they make different sizes for different sales locations?

Yes. OXO soft works POP tops. I actually like these better after buying others with round vs. square pop button.

Never used the ones from QVC, but the oxo brand (I have 2) are fantastic, and I have had mine for a few years

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

The white OXO Good Grips bowls are listed as BPA-free. These seem identical except for the colors. It's odd that the descriptions are so different. Sadly, a search of the OXO website finds zero occurrences of "BPA". You'd think that they'd want to advertise this more clearly....OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set

I actually have both. This peeler is sharper for one thing. While the peels still seem to stick to the top of the peeler (one of my pet peeves), there is less of that than with the regular OXO peeler. The main difference is the sharpness.

I have this model - the second ones I purchased when the first finally died (years after purchase). Unlike the first set, these come with softpak travel cases rather than the hard cases. Otherwise, not a huge difference and it does use the e series brush heads.

I can't say for sure but I'm guessing the micarta handles are the only difference.

That's exactly what I was searching for when OI ordered the OXO Good Grips Salad Chopper and Bowl. It looks a tiny bit different from the one at Subway but it is virtually the same bowl and chopper. My daughter works part time at Subway and she has used the one there as well as the one we have and she says there is no difference.

Adding to my previous answer, the blue on the handles, it's a semi-soft silicone so it makes using the tools much easier on the hands. Non-slip and softer to the hands yet strong enough to work.

I don't see any difference in the handles of the Presto 01241 4 than the old one I had, that had worn out. I am very impressed with the new Presto pressure cooker I received. As you can't find these good ones in stores anymore

I threw my wilton ultra II out, but kept the disks to use in the oxo cookie press. The oxo cookie press disks and the ultra II disks are the same size. The difference is the wilton ultra II disks have that obvious raised portion on the disks and it is also a bit thicker in width. The ultra II disks are cheaply made compared to the oxo disks. Other than those differences, I don't see a reason why the oxo disks can't fit in the ultra II press.

What is the difference between the artisan series and the professional series?

No, they were available when I ordered my Oxo Kitchen tool bar and I did not order them. After I got it and needed more hooks they were not available and I had to search Amazon and found a bar (very plain) with attached hooks for $4.95 and I ordered it. It also depends on how thick your utensils are as to whether the hooks on the Oxo will hold 2 tools each.

They are manual and they work well. We have a couple of people in the family with some pretty nasty arthritis in their hands and they don't seem to have any trouble using them. An added feature/benefit is you can adjust the coarseness of the grind. Most of the time I use the smallest setting, but for fresh made garden salads and anything you want a coarser grind for pepper they are just great!I love the fact that your turn them "up side down" to use them so there is no mess left on the table or in the cabinet... the main reason I bought these in the first place.
