why is the zojirushi so much more expensive when they both function on the same technology, fuzzy logic.

For the same reason Williams & Sonoma are way more expensive. Your paying for branding. Some things are worth the price line knives and pans but when it comes to a rice cooker I'm sure they both use the same micro controllers programmed differently to achieve the same goal

I have purchased both for gifts. I paid $49 and $110. The more expensive machine is more metal and less plastic, looks better, and it is heavier. From what I can tell, the less expensive machine requires a little more pressure to process the frozen fruit. The higher priced machine appears to get the job done a little easier, and seems like it might last longer. Both make equally delicious frozen desserts!

The Charge is more expensive because it has a larger (longer lasting) battery and can also charge your phone.The speaker quality is about the same.

The difference is the more expensive pair can be used to control volume and retrieve phone calls

To Wastedyrs: I suggest the older model is more-expensive simply because it IS older....each new generation of chips, digital TVs, etc, are significantly cheaper than prior ones. No exceptions I know of, unless you account for higher functionality or features.

It's a collector's item. That's part of the reason why it costs so much. There are also probably a limited number of these being made. Limited supply + demand = a higher price.

Maybe you are referring to the attachment for the pasta roller machine (other brands), which is not the kitchenaid one. In this case, you are right it is much more expensive. I love these pasta roller, I even use it for fondant and it works great

I believe the reason is due to the fact that most grains are processed with equipment and around other grains such as wheat. They process these in an environment that is free from wheat products (hence the additional expense).

I don't know but I imagine you might find it in researching it; typically, unless the price difference is huge I go with the latest technology; this may not be a situation where it's significant but might be worth looking into; good luck; it's a great little unit; I've been extremely pleased!

Actually, it looks to me like the 360 is not only the less expensive but the better, improved, and more compact model. The inflated price of the 350 is most likely attributable to its being out of production.

Although I only own the white version I am pretty sure that the internals are identical. The price differences are a fine example of marketing in action; the more popular item (=higher demand) is priced higher or in simple terms: you take what you can get. By the way, the prices are also different in Germany where we live half of the year. Prices are much higher there and black is the cheapest version because customer preferences differ from the US.

It is a little more expensive but has a gyro sensor and ultrasonic sensor instead of the infrared sensor and comes with the sixty dollar rechargeable battery included. The software is sold separately but has a more in-depth tutorial. The educational version is available to the public, not just educators, the website is www.legoeducation.us

The more expensive model has two different firmness levels. The side with smaller cubes is more firm than the side with larger cubes. I find it helpful to switch when driving very long days.

I'm not sure, I suppose that they are the same, but colors are just more expensive.

Everyone knows, the brighter it is, the more expensive it appears. Actually they're probably just saving a cent or two on a lower resistor.

Both identical. More than likely a supply & demand issue (more people buy the black?).

Digital signal processing a additional processcer for smoother responds it suspose to be more expensive.
