What's the difference between a LaufWerk and a regular mechanism and why is it cheaper?

Both are identical - we just have different fee structure on the Amazon listing thus we have it listed with different price -

I researched them and found the motors were all the same, I'm guessing the difference was in housings or length of cord, but the multi purpose I bought was built quite well for my usage. It's solid and does a good job, first week I cleaned 1200 sq' of flagstone outside and then 500 of clearcoats flagstone indoors. The one I bought did not come with brushes and it might be good to buy 2 or 3 different types, but its a good machine

I am not sure where you are looking because the machine with the drain pump costs more. If you are able to use the machine with the gravity flow, you will love the machine. We had to have the drain pump and it is VERY noisy. We love the ice, but the noise from the pump is driving us crazy.

I never actually worked with WM1000 but looking at the product specifications, it is similar WM425 in many design details. The main difference appears to be that the WM1000 is a "workbench" only, with a horizontal clasping mechanism. The WM1000 has that plus a pull-up handle in the front middle, which allows you to rotate the front plate 90 degrees up and use the clasping mechanism as a vertical vise. In principle, this should make it possible to clasp a board, for example, to rip-cut the protruding end with a saw, without using the bench dogs. I have not used this option much, because I found the clasping mechanism too weak for a serious wood-working job. Apparently, WM1000 is somewhat simpler in design and has only 2 working plates, as WM425 has a third insert plate but this may actually be an advantage.

The 352 has a 25 foot cord, the 356 (professional) is 30', the hard floor tools are different. The 356 has a microfiber 'dust pad' that goes over the hardwood floor attachment. The 352's hard floor attachment has a 'V' shape to funnel debris no pad, but it does have a duster attachment both available to purchase separately. The dust cup on the 356 is larger and the overall machine is 2 lbs heavier then the 352. 356 also comes with a bag for the tools where my 352 did not. The other tools all appear to be the same on both models. They both run the same amps and can be converted into canister mode as well, but are aesthetically different.

It has slightly higher quality components, but both are excellent machines.I hope that helps.

Not sure of the difference between the two but the one we bought is very flexible. We have 200lb. divers jumping off and it is very flexible.

I'm not certain; however, upon removing the machine from its original box and packing material I was required to remove a metal bar which held the tub components in place during shipping... combine that with the machine having a high spin rpm rate, and is extremely quiet, my experience would lead me to favor a direct drive mechanism and not a belt driven system. We love the machine and are very pleased with it... it's even quieter than our clothes dryer!

If you want a more specific answer, go to the Omega website. I believe the major difference is in the motor. I researched them all at the time I purchased mine, and decided the difference wasn't significant enough for the higher cost, for what I wanted to use it for, which is juicing leaves. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I do remember I asked the same question on the Omega website, and received a very satisfactory answer.

That confused me too. But look -- both products share the same dimensions and the same Item Number (101736); checking the Sauder site they show only one product that looks like that. So they are really the same. But don't think the "Storage" version is cheaper (by $40) -- note that it costs $79 more to ship.

The difference is in the accessories and the number of patterns that come with it. Except for the color, there isn't any difference that I can see between the machines themselves.

The Classic has a 250 watt motor while the Artisan has a 325 watt motor. That is the biggest difference.

This is cheaper because its only function is momentary. I would reccomend the multi function WML

Probably nothing. On the les expensive blender are there other differences? Attachments? Motor capacity? The difference between the extra two speeds is not significant but there may be other things that account for the price.

I have both this one and the one Harbor Freight sells for half the price. I bought the HF one when the shipping on the 'German' one was going to be a month. They are identical, except for color and the sticker. They work ok, if you just want a ball park. If you are doing high end work with expensive wood that is vastly more expensive than these, and you are really concerned about wood movement over time, invest in something better.

One model is higher easier to get on an off the machine. This is the price difference

I've used both, it has more torque at the lower settings but is also heavier and gets hot faster.
