Depends on what your looking for..supremely portable 909 or desktop somewhat portable..I have the Grundig and love it..Ive only read some reviews on the 909 ..I wouldn't sell my Grundig for one of them..

I bought the Grundig 750 in January of 2014. In April of 2014 it failed, no reception of any chances. Returned it to Eton' the Mfg. in early May 2014. Called Eton' service Dept. beginning of July 2014. The returned radio cannot be repaired and must be replaced. No replacement available until sometime in August 2014. I will think twice before purchasing a product of Eton'.

I would say the Grundig. However...after logging mor time on the Grundig I can tell you this...My Kenwood R 1000 Blows it Away. Better audio...Better reception..way lower noise floor. .Sad to say a approximately 25 year old radio is better. The wide... narrow filter on the Grundig sucks. Wide is useless even on broadcast bands. And even on narrow it's to wide for ssb. But all that said...for the price range of a plastic case radio, The 750 is the Best out there for the money.

The HD in the name of the units refer to display only, and not to sharpness of detail that you would get with a HD transducer, which does not come with the 698 . I KNOW it is confusing . The larger displays come with a longer, slim (HD) transducers that show better detail . And that includes the 900 series and up. You can get a HD ducer for the 899 that does not come with it . The small display (5 inch and under) units come with the compact side scan ducer. and do not have the software to use the HD ducer. This helps keep the price lower.

The Echo was my second choice bu frankly I would shop for nothing less than 90cc's after handling my yard guy's 90. Don't hesitate for going onn to higher displacements engines. 75 IS GREAT but 90 gets your heart aflutter.

Not sure if the 90 is better, however my oldest son has the k70, and I have the k95. The only complaint I have is the led stopped working on my u key. And the cap locks is very sensitive.

If you havn't already made a decision, here are 2 thoughts: 900 has the smaller keyboard which will be ok for your 8 y/o. and weight is ~1/2 pound less. The 904ha has longer battery life and better webcam. All in all, with price savings and lighter smaller formfactror I'd go with the 900ha for my tech savy 8 yo if I had the money. As it is, I only have $ for mine for work. But I do plan on letting my boys (6 and 9) work on it too for homework.

I guess I'm the step-child in this group but I still think the Grizzly saw is over-rated. (see my original review) I haven't looked at the Ridgid specifically but I have a lot of experience with their products in general and their quality levels. Given that experience I would say it all depends on price. If it's close, go with Grizzly for support and parts availability reasons. If there is a big difference, Ridgid might be a better value-for-money choice.

Rinnai is a better product. The only advantage that navian has over a rinnia is the venting. Navian uses a sch40 pipe where rinnai has their own pipe

I have had both and I think you would be happy with either. My personal preference is the Busnell Legend at 10 power.

The 1020 uses much cheaper parts than the 9040, as the 9040 is the same as an Elite but without the Elite branding. The 1020 is also 80 watts x2 while the 9040 is 110 x2. The 1018 is even far superior to both the 1019

Return it to Sangean for warranty replacement, if it is less than a year old. My Sangean ATS-909X failed at 14 months...and I am left with a doorstop. Would not purchase this model of Sangean again. I now think the Tecsun PL-880 is a much more dependable and user friendly multi-band radio.

If you look at the various pieces the DCK592L2 is a higher build quality. Ex. the shoe on the jig saw is very nice cast magnesium on the 592 and thinner stamped sheet metal on the 590. Not a huge difference but for me a little extra for a better set of tools was easy to justify. Hope that helps.

They are both just toys. N96 is only 50$ more now... I'd go for it between these two. But honestly, N97 is only few weeks away and is useful as a buisiness tool as well as a toy.

No. 920 is longer than the 900. I do think they make one now for the 920 though.

I wouldn't be able to give you a comparison because I haven't had the opportunity to hear these new towers. They are beautiful and seem to be well received from people who own them. I can say that the DV84 towers are outstanding with excellent mid range. The Bass is shockingly full for a tower speaker. I think either speaker would serve you well. The PL-89 is newer,and appears to have a nicer finish. The BIC company has been making solid speakers for many years so it's your choice.

I own this SOG knife and a SEAL PUP and the Bear Grylls knife, (I bought for my son). The SOG's are much more sturdy and if I had to pick one to take, it would be this one, because of length and weight and strength of the blade. In a knife fight this is the winner. The Gerber is fine though, and is enough for most people. This is a longer knife, that's why they made the PUP it's a lot smaller and it's great and just as durable and is permanently attached to my hiking pack.

I was wondering the same thing. I am thinking about buying the the 1019 and now I came accross the VSX-9049 and right now the difference is only around $20 in Amazon.

Both are nice cameras. I own a700 and a900, bought the a99, difficult to get used to. Totally different beast. If you get one, do not get rid of the 700 until you are convinced. Joe
