The older model looks easier to hold because the handle looks longer. What is the length of this model? Is it easy to hold?

His Dr. suggested this product. It's great and does what it's supposed to do with ease. He loves it.

The new model is easy to hold and because of its shape it doesn't slip in your hand. It is also more powerful. I use it on my heels the most so it is perfect for that. The length is about 6 inches

The previous model is a bit more difficult to clean. The Open-Access lid flips out for better cleaning access. I say get the newer one.

I have not measured the handle but I have regular sized hands and it is not too long or too short. I don't know if that's going to help or not. I hope it does.

It is short, but I got used to it pretty quick. Now I prefer the shorter handle. The handle is smooth and the razor is quite heavy. You'd think it might be hard to grip when wet, but it hasn't been a problem for me. I think there is a more textured version available if that's a concern though.

The handle is about 4 3/4inches long. I can get my hands on the handle without my pinkie finger. I have average hands. Hope that helps.

I am not familiar with the other model. This one has a metal core part with a metal screw and part of the handle is metal, but it is basically covered in hard plastic.

The handle is approximately 7 inches long. To me, I would say that is the shorter side rather than long. The turner is light weight and very comfortable and easy to use.

I believe the handle on the 8893/8805 model pivots which makes using the handle extension easier. I love the 8893 !!

You just pick up the handle for the quick relase, I have both and like these much better.

It would be easier and more effective if handle were longer--long arms is a good alternative--good unit --worth the money

I just ordered this one and I received the newer model. It has a wider handle, fill line markers, narrower spout, polished outside, not shiny on the inside. Works great!!! I love this item.

Kinda a preference thing on the handles but I always prefer one long handle , the dual loop handles get hot really quick , as far as size I always opt for the extra 2 inches , always better to have the option to cook more food if necessary.

I haven't seen the ad but rest assured that it is not 7 inches. We purchased this model when our old one broke and was going to cost $150 to have it repaired. We loved the prior model and purchased the this one without regretted it. I think once you get the handle extended and with the hose to the motor it may be 7 to 8 FEET long.

Original handle is hard plastic, I think. Total of 4 sections, about a foot long, folded. This particular model has replaceable handle, she uses an ergo model which is no longer available. I don't know if they make this particular model any more, but the ones they do make are good.

The 16" is big but if you are cooking for more than a couple of people, it really comes in handy. You can always use the big for cooking small amounts but not the smaller to cook large amounts. As far as the handle goes, I wish it were longer. It becomes hot quickly and it's heavy to "toss" but that is the nature of the size and this style of cooking. With both styles of handle a pot holder is eventually necessary. The single handle does keep your hand a little further from the fire. Also, if you don't have a large flame on your stove, a smaller size may make for more effective wok style cooking. And, you may need the ring for the round bottom. (if it fits your stove. I have a very old stove with a nice huge flame but the ring won't work on it but the wok stays "balanced" fairly well on the grate... have to be careful. haven't ever "dumped" anything in 6 months of use)

The wheels are a big difference. This one has bigger wheels with more traction; they last longer and are more suitable to rough terrain (e.g., taking it to the beach or park).My wife and I tried both in the store and we also noticed the handle on this one is more square and is thus much more comfortable. I'm 6'3 and she's 5'11 so our height might have had something to do with it.
