what is the difference between the model 25 and the model 25b. really the question is what do i get for the extra $

As others say, it's not clear what the difference is. I will say, the unit I have is very good and has performed flawlessly. That said, I have only listened to a few soundbars. As I stated in my review (last year) they put a glued on sticker on the front of the plastic speaker grill - it took at least 30 minutes of hot water and elbow grease to scrape it off (there are hundreds of tiny holes on the grill and bits of paper were stuck in the holes) - ugh! Hopefully that's not the case any more.

I contacted Boston Acoustics to get the real scoop. I was told that a B suffix on a BA product indicated a refurbished unit. I said that I did not think that Amazon would charge a premium for a refurbished unit. No response. I'm still confused but seriously considering a Zvox 555 instead - also offerred by Amazon.

From what I can tell, there is no model 25b. Boston Acoustics only shows a model 25. My guess is that it is a mistake in the label. As the 25b is not shown discounted... it is most likely just a supplier using a different price. Shipping weight is identical. After having had the 25 for a month, really like it. Is it a great, super performing sound bar... no. Does it provide clear, rich sound, with a bit of added bass..yes We would buy again.

Hi Ann! Well the main differences are that the 25 uses AA batteries and the 30 requires a proprietary battery. This means that if you run out of battery power with the 30 you either have another (expensive) proprietary battery or you wait until the battery recharges( a couple of hours) before you get to shoot again. With the 25 you just pop into your local convenience store, buy a set of AA's and you are back shooting again. Me, I carry three sets of hybrid rechargeable batteries so it is unlikely I will ever run out of power, but if I do... The RAW option is good if you like spending hours and hours behind your computer screen making the "perfect" picture. I do not so I opted for the 25( I have had three cameras with RAW and have learned that shooting and tweaking is more fun than the drudgery of manipulating and converting RAW files). The only other difference is that the 30 has a slightly larger viewfinder which would be nice if I did not have to buy the extra proprietary battery(nearly 25 percent of the cameras purchase price each-and I would need three total i.e. and extra hundred bucks) instead of the three sets of set of four hybrid AA's(way less than the price of one of the 30's batteries). So if lots of extra work-time, extra expensive back-up batteries to make sure you never run out of power on a shoot and a slightly bigger viewfinder are worth it to you then the 30 is the better camera. Oh, did I mention the 30 also costs thirty percent more to buy than the 25? So the Hs25EXR is the choice for a fun camera that will do 99 percent everything the HS30EXR will do AND it will do it for less money to buy, be less work( i.e. more fun!), cheaper to power(I get 500 plus shots per set of fully charged Hybrids-mostly using the eye-level finder). The HS25EXR is the one I bought for all those reasons and more. Either way they will both be fun and that is after all the whole point of a Super duper super zoom, right?

I chatted with their rep and was told there is no difference whatsoever between the machines themselves. If you buy direct from them you get the Ab Crunch accessory "free" and there are better warranty options, payment plans, and extended money-back-guarantee/trial options. Also no credit check (?) I guess that matters to some people. Anyway if you just want the basic model and don't care about Ab Crunch and extended warrantees, then buy it from Amazon. Massive price differential.

The more expensive one is, in fact, larger than the less-expensive one. The cheaper one is Model 1312-00. The more expensive one is Model 1312-50. There IS a difference!

I found the website of the fella I got mine from. He has a few Model 25s for $100-$150.http://www.thetexasantiquetoycollector.com/links.html

Thanks for explaining that the Q240 is larger and it isn't just a model year change. I'm buying the Q240 and will let you know how it is.

Sorry but I'm not know exactly the difference. I had this model and it works very well.

There are some quality concerns about the 425. I am very happy with the 1000. Catch it on sale and you can't go wrong. It is a little larger than the 425 so you need a little more room to store it height-wise - about 6 more inches.

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

230 is just suggested retail. Many places will sell it cheaper. It is the same item. The only little difference there might be is this might be last years model. They changed the logo on the newest one, that's the only difference. Don't worry

First there is a difference in the model numbers. All models come with the same size pan and same cooking features. The difference between the models is the accessories. The difference in price is like most things on Amazon , the same item can come from different vendors. For example the one for 99$ has a shipping charge of 50+ dollars where the one for 171$ had no shipping charge. I love my unit, I own all the Ninja products. It means less clutter , one product to do the job of many. Just research all vendors and their pricing for your best deal. And don't forget to check out Amazon warehouse for those great prices on open box, refurbished or used items. First there is a difference in the model numbers.

The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite. It makes the saw quite a bit lighter, and probably more durable. Apparently, it also comes with a retractable hook. As far as the motor and performance go, I believe the two models are identical.I would base my purchasing decision on who will be using the saw, and how it will be used. If you need to make lots of one-handed cuts, or if you will be having someone that doesn't own the saw using it, I would probably spring for the mag model. If it's just you using it, and you are mindful of your tools, I think you will be perfectly satisfied with the $130 model. The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite.

I chose milwaukee. Ended up buying the 2797-22 kit for $150 brand new. I chose milwaukee because of the better construction and it's LOw price. I also planned on buying the m12 fuel hackzall, which I did and got for 100. The dual charge battery charger comes in handy with both m12 and m18.

I brought referbished and its just like new but an older model. Honestly, I could find no difference from a newer model and saved a lot of money.

Bob....I have no idea ! There are so many models out now that I have not been able to figure out which is the newest ! I do know however, that is as good as you can get. I have one and it does everything I want and need !

I have no idea, I went for the 25 because at the time I ordered it, it was $16 with free shipping. Looks like they raised the price to $19.99. The 25 works great for me, but if the 50 is a better deal then go for it.

First difference on who is going to fulfill the order. More expensive one is fulfilled by amazon the other is not. Second im willing to bet the model number diference is a direct reference to year models. Every year they change and tweak little things or sometimes major. Google the 2 numbers seperatly and you should get an answer. Anything else feel free to ask.
