considering price what would you say is the best reason to buy this one over a less expensive unit?

Guy,At this point I can not recommend this product as mine has gone through 4 sets of batteries in three months. After the second set I knew it was not crummy pack in batteries. I have received no response. So I would recommend one of their cheaper products or a more expensive bluelab truncheon. Picked one of these up rather than haggle with hm digital. The truncheon is built like a tank and takes regular batteries. I hope this helps.Take care.

It is water proof. If the o rings go bad they can easily be purchased at your hardware store to be replaced. Has sponge in cap for holding calib. Fluid to keep it accurate and corrosion free. Finally you pay for what you get. There is a reason those are cheaper and this one is a lot more expensive and not just a little. Think about it like two glass jar one thicker more expensive and the other thinner less expensive. They will both do the same exact thing but one is a lot easier to break or something happen to it. So you buy the thinker one so less likely of a chance of something happening and needing it especially when it's a needing moment.

I've forgotten all the reasons, but I try never to purchase the cheapest of anything, but go for the middle of the price range (within reason). The unit is very well built, easy to use, & appears to be calibrated accurately. I also purchased HM Digital C342 TDS and EC Calibration Solution, 342 ppm (NaCl), 90 ml Volume: (( http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=tds+342+calibration+standard )) as it provides a good middle of the range calibration standard for my NaCL usage.

This one is water proof with o ring gasket seals on both ends. The sensor is replaceable but as long as the inside stays dry most any should last given they have platnum electrodes like this one here. This one has a limit of about 2000 ppm and is most useful for plants. Its not the best but not the worst. Im very happy with it as it continues to serve its purpose although i would consider ordering a few batteries cause you gonna forget and leave it on one day and youll be like ahh man i wasted my money. Pop in some juice n u gtg.3x LR44 (aka ag13).

I was hoping a few extra dollars would mean better reliability. it was very accurate w benchmark testing after initially calibrating it. However it went out of calibration in two days. it's possible user error, as I did not rinse w distilled or DI water when finished. deposits on electrodes could have fouled subsequent readings. After recalibrating unit, it would work fine, but again require calibration later.

I think If the refurbished has Warenty, it is a safer. But if not, you take the same risks. Hopefuly owner of used one is honest about the condition of the item.

Portable units generally use more power than window units so yes, your best bet to run it low if you are going to go with this one. I found window units to be much more cooling overall, though don't know the exact comparison in costs as I have lived in rental units that had a flat fee for a/c units in the summer regardless of the model.

What is a good price? I bought this one and have been using it for a year with no problems.

Undecided whether to get this or a Magnavox- price difference is $25 more. What do you think?

Why go through the bother? The price-point of this Acer is so low, it wouldn't make much financial sense to try building your own server. When you add the cost of the case, motherboard, RAM, hard drive, network card, and then the cost of the Home Server operating system (which you have to bother yourself with to install on a headless device), what would really be gaining? Far easier, IMO, to just pull the trigger on either this Acer or something else similar (HP has a low-cost server, too, though it's got less features than the Acer, which is why I went with Acer).

For me this was the better priced unit as it offered all of the options and storage I needed. PLus I own an 8gb that I use on my motorcycle trips and it has been bullet proof (dropped, kicked, sat on). Plus over 4years (with my 8gb) the vibration heat and UV factors have not hurt its performance. For the money (16GB). storage and my hard use of the walkmans, I feel the Sony NWZ-E475BLK 16 GB is a bargain. I have owned other brands but for ease of use and qaulity (durability) this is my choice. In this case I received way more product than I payed for. That is my oppinion feel free to make it your own.

I think there is no difference. It depends on the price. You will be able to choose better one for you. Good luck.

Why? It's priced as a disposable radio. If you are wanting a quality device that will last you years and years maybe consider something else. This is a good intro radio until you decide this hobby is worth sinking some cash until.

Depends on two things: 1) How expense (or cheap) was the purchase price originally;and most important, 2) are you happy with the performance of your printer?If everything is working fine and you are happy it is worth the cost. If you really want a better printer or a printer with different abilities and your present printer is a few years old, and you find a new printer that is a great buy with new features YOU WILL USE then save the printhead money go new!

Honestly, I don't know know if there is a diffrence or not.. I would just get the cheapest one and go with it..

It's depends on who you're buying from and what they already have pre-loaded. Since these are used older machines it will differ. I would continue to shop around.

Hi, You have been very informative. Which would you recommend: the p4400 or the p4460? Or is another product (under $25.00) better? I live in a delivery cost area, and am fairly careful already, so my likely savings will be less than $100 per year -- so I want to keep the cost of this item low.

I think it is the best seller because it is a great system for a decent price. The 700 watts is plenty powerful. I have a smaller-mid size livingroom and it is way too loud even at half volume. The no dvd/bluray player and no wifi isn't an issue because you can get a wifi ready bluray for $50 bucks or less and from what I have read, the systems that have the bluray player included, which acts as the receiver, aren't as good/powerful as a system with just a receiver. I love it because everything plugs directly into the receiver and I have one HDMI cable going to the TV. I am extremely happy with this system and would recommend it to anyone.

I don't see any difference....looks like that would be the place to buy it. I got it in Sept from amazon and paid 90 bucks. I'm happy with it but I also don't use it much.

See answers below. It's a good solid unit, especially for the money. The only feature I'd like to see is a guide that distributes incoming wire evening on the hub. If it is available, it probably costs much more.

Great question. Simple answer, performance will be about the same, so go with the lower cost with higher reliability drive. For me, the choice was easy as it was quite a bit cheaper than the 7,200 models. A year later, I still love this little drive so I don't think you will have any issues if you follow in my tracks.
