What is the difference between the Torino and the Portofino model? Can't decide which one to get. Thanks!

I have been using the Torino for over 6 years now and it is my absolute favorite hair dryer. The main difference between the Torino and Portofino is size. While both dryers have the same wattage, the Torino is a compact dryer with the drying speed and blower strength of a full sized professional dryer. This is perfect if you travel a lot and have thicker, hard to dry, curly hair like me. I can't get by with those pitiful hotel dryers without looking like a frizz ball so for me the Torino has been the best of both worlds. Also, I'd like to mention that the compact size is helpful for me because I have arthritis and compact size Torino is light weight and easy to handle. Good luck!

Definitely get the 2213. The media is different (better), the flow rate is higher (better), maintenance is easier and less frequent (better)and for the price difference it is well worth it.

It was the one that was made by same manufacturer, VIGO. I actually bought them both at same time. It has rubber feet on it so everything drains well. You will be very happy with both pieces. Great quality.

Not really sure of the difference but I purchased the less expensive of the two and they worked fine in Italy. I plugged several items in with no problems. iPad, iPhone, kindles, cameras and my mom's curling iron. All worked fine (and still do). Great quality at a great price. Highly recommend!!

The nv90 is a lot lighter. I own both but have only had the nv90 a couple months now. It works great as of now. I have had my nv83 for several years and it also works great. The nv90 is cheaper so I figured I would give it a shot. Happy so far. I gram houses for a living so it does get used daily. Hope this helps

I am in the process of purchasing one or the other. I am not sure what the differences are. Can someone help me out too:F. Jackson

Yes, no contest. I have them both... Toro performs unbelievably given it's size and the fact it's electric. The Snow Joe keeps breaking on me, and is a total hunk of crap.

I think the Pleatco is better made; have used both and the Pleatco seems sturdier. Cannot go wrong with the Pleatco.

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

This is a cool spiralizer and it does a fantastic job of slicing vegetables into really long curly strands. I owned a Paderno before but it was a lot more hassle for me to set it up for use then put it away (I don't have a large kitchen counter space). The Brieftons is much more compact and works very well, and is sooo easy to put away into a drawer after use. Build quality is great, looks like strong plastic and stainless steel. No problem here. Hope this helps.

I only have the regular version; however, when I compared the "pro" specs to mine the "pro" has a larger display because the button was moved to the underside of watch from the face of the watch. It appears to have a slimmer design too. The pro can calculate a gas change of up to 100% whereas I can set up to 50%. Digital downloading has been improved with an optional USB interface to both PC (Dive Organizer) ad MAC (Divers Diary) software. Otherwise, the 2008 puck has same features as "pro" and I hope to continue using mine w/Oceanic backup computer. Love my Mares Puck!

I have both models and I believe the Thermos is the newer model as Nissan/Thermos vend the same products. The lcoking mechanism isn't really so different functionally, the actual spout and under the cover is different. I personally like the Thermos model better because it is easier to clean. Both work to retain heat.

I've not tried both, but I have to say that the Volpi was a really good buy. It's not a Parma or a Serrano, but it's a third of the price and, for everyday use, it is really pretty good

Great question... I would like to buy a unit for Northern Italy... any ideas? Lew

It looks like they are very similar; however, you should check out infantino.com to really compare them. I love my ecosash and use it all the time. It's comfortable and easy to use, even by yourself.

I had the original super salono, as a hairdresser, I've used it for two years and really enjoyed it. The only difference is it is smaller and the nose is shorter. I personally prefer the 3700 because it is smaller and I can handle it better while blow drying clients all day long. Also, for personal use, a shorter nose is easier handling when it comes to round brushing.

I have had an MV650 for about 3 years now and have often pondered the differences to the MV500. I have come to the conclusion, after looking at various photos of both, that the only difference is more flaming of the maple on the back of the MV650, and perhaps a better overall finished result. I believe it is common for violin manufacturers to take a group of completed violins that are made from the same specifications, and the ones that come out the best are labeled as a better model with a higher price.
