Does anybody know the differences between the Whirlibird II and the Whirlibird III? Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks!

In comparing the descriptions of the two versions of the jacket at Columbia's website, the differences I'm finding are: Whirlibird iii Construction: Zip-in and 3-point Interchange System Drawcord adjustable hem Adjustable cuff tabs Modern classic fit Fabric: Shell lining 100% nylon embossed taffeta Inner jacket exterior 100% polyester Microtex Lite II taffeta Inner jacket lining 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Microtex Omni-Heat inner jacket insulation 50% polyester/50% recycled polyester, 80g OH --------- Whirlibird ii Construction: Zip-in Interchange System Fabric: OMNI-TECH SHELL DETAILS 100% nylon SHELL LINING 100% nylon taffeta INNER JACKET EXTERIOR 100% polyester INNER JACKET LINING 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Other differences in the version III: Available colors Available color patterns Columbia only offers the newer version on their website So, there are some differences but not a lot. Hope this helps.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

One that doesn't use enough water to clean your clothes. I have a newer whirlpool top load and absolutely hate it. I do a couple of articles at a time and select the large load try to fool the sensor by having something stick up as high as possible just to make sure everything gets wet lol. I can use a pod if I put it in first. They will stain your clothes if you add them later. I did have a front load GE -HE that did a decent job. It went when we sold the house. Really miss it just toss in the pod and away you go!

The EB Brands Ironman is a 2.4 ghz radio system :)- that means you can fly up to 15 of these at the same time!!!- -Nice craft project to add light paint colors as well (like the mark 42: ) -Greg -this is bar none the best performing toy plane in history - I have tried all the others. the Patented turning head really helps bank him in the turns so you can get back on both power quickly- it is NOT like the other Hogs planes where you pray it turns be for it hits the ground or runs out of range- Go Ironman buy and fly several at a time : ) fight or race them! -Greg

Hello, Have reviews on both models on Amazon. Had a bunch of trouble with the standard model, and no trouble with version 2. The version 2 has a lot more metal parts in the rotor head and tail, and digital tail servo which is much more responsive. Please see both reviews. So far I would say the version 2 is worth the extra money. Good day!

DaveS.....what in your opinion makes the Jet 1221VS better than the Delta 46-460? I've never been a fan of Delta myself but the 46-460 is very highly rated in Fine Woodworking.

Micro 6 channel collective pitch helis are much more "twitchy" than a T-REX 500. You should do just fine, and will find flying larger helis EASIER than smaller helis. I find 500-class helis the best when it comes to weight vs. lift. I don't do any 3D flying (yet?), but am confident with sport flying and performing pirouettes.

Hello friend, I've never owned the wild whirlpool or water wheel version but I can tell you this since I did a lot of research on all of them before I purchased the big splash waterpark. The deal breaker for me (besides the fact it got the BEST reviews over all of them) was that all the parts simply snap into place rather than screw in. Over time the screws will rust and you wont be able to ever disassemble it. Also, it doesn't leak. It was very easy to put together and my daughter LOVES playing with it. All the reviews on this product were right! Hope this helped. Heidi

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

Looks like they are the same. I love my expedition 3. Is it time to go camping all ready !!!!

The III is very slightly improved over the II and a bit cheaper... It works well but you lose a stop on your lens and on some cameras you lose auto focus...

The 204 parts are smaller the impeller /shaft and cover are totally different/way smaller/the 304,305,404 and 405.parts are the same,except the handles and outer parts and canisters,where you can clearly see a difference. Fluval the best filter out there.(I have four running quietly as we chat) Go get em Mike

I actually have both systems and I have to say that I am happier with the Squirrel Stopper system. I do like that the WBU system can be made shorter or taller with the pole sections they sell; however, it doesn't hold up to the wind/squirrels or hold as many feeders as the Squirrel Stopper. I hope this is helpful.

we have both, to be honest I do not see much of a difference between the twol Maybe the high speed isn't quite as fast as the older one, but not a noticeable difference. Still easy to install, still quiet when it runs, no vibration.

We bought this one because of the reviews of it being quieter and having a stronger motor. We love ours, but have never tried the other model.

Hi, not sure what the difference is exactly, but I must admit that I find this one much better than the previous one. It is lighter and more durable so I fully recommend getting 83 slow. Sorry I can't be more of help

I believe the toxic is a better over clocker but the DCU II has better temps and noise level. I bought the toxic myself. I say which ever you can get cheaper, they are both great performers.
