I bought a 3145, it worked a few times and quit. Now I see there is also a similar 3143 model, so which is the latest and or best one?

3143 is audio only - you count the beeps you hear. 3145 turns the beeps into a code that is displayed on the screen. I've used both - counting beeps gets annoying very quickly because the pause between beeps isn't very long. I am a long time mechanic and think the visual display worth the extra cost. The reader should last years unless dropped or connected to something in error. Good luck!!

I would think the 3145 its the latest model. I've had it for about a year now and it still works.

I went with the E3200 I got for 99 bucks on Ebay. Its real close to this one minus a few features. I love it !

I have the 18000- when it is working, it does, but mine died exactly one day AFTER the return policy ran out. I'm totally bummed. It has great reviews and I'm hoping this is a fluke.

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

Fortunately for me, I have not had any issues with my 46-460. It has been running like a charm since December 2011. Sorry, can't share your pain...

The evolution. The 3160 is the original and I think the b had the USB connection added. The d is the latest with different buttons by virtue of two added for more convenience. When you order this 3160 here, it is incorrrectly not updated. You actually get the latest d version with the extra buttons, latest software, and USB connection. And with this newly super reduced price of $159, you have little excuse for not buying the best in their line.

I think the XE295 is the 2012 model for the EL-455 and the EL-455 is the 2010/11 model. From what I can gather from reading and looking at photos. The XE295 has an upgraded console. I am very impressed with Spirit on paper and am currently trying to decide between the two models. You can see the older models of Spirit equipment if you look at the user manuals on their support section of their website. I really wish Spirit had better photos of the console that shows to display in action so I know what I am getting for my money.

I own/use the 3000 myself. I have never used our experienced the other models. I went to the Oral-B site and compared the models then read many reviews and settled on the 3000. Two of my friends have them and they liked them. (Fyi, I have had mine for less than two years and l'm having a battery life issue while charging the unit as instructed.)

The NiteCore Intellicharger i4 is the one reccomended to me.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edivON8TZuk

Hey Tracy, where did you buy your EB305? I've been looking for one, preferrably used so it's cheaper. Thanks.

Yes I have a 2595 myself and it works like a charm. The only thing it doesn't do is the garmin traffic. The traffic antenna is only on the garmin oem plugs. If you don't have the traffic, then no worries.

This is a discontinued model, but yes, similar newer ones are just as reliable and easy to use in your case.

why is this model no longer for sale except refurbished ones. what replaced this model? is this older versus say the 1650f/1650r. don't know what the letters mean.

As far as i can tell, this one is just the older version that's been discontinued. The 931014 is newer, maybe has a few small visual changes but all the bits are the same.

Somebody has to be kidding. Discontinued or not! The replacement is the M570 (I think it is still available) for about a 10% of that price. I have both and they both work very, very well.

I've read that the 325 is the same product as the 320, but it was created for Costco sales only. You'll find some 3rd parties selling it, but we can guess where they bought them to resell.
