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.

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 asked the same question and was told there the same units, the difference was the manuals. The one approved has more warnings in the manual. To be sure download each manual and compare the difference.

Shirley...I'm going to save you some time. I've owned both the WaterBoss 700 and the Whirlpool 44,000 grain water softeners. It's simple...buy the Whirlpool and avoid the WaterBoss. The WaterBoss caused extensive damage to my finished basement when the resin tank failed (within its warranty period) and flooded said basement. The Whirlpool has required nothing except refilling salt and has performed perfect.Buy the Whirlpool and do not buy the WaterBoss.

The msrx is much quicker than the 120sr... definitely will entertain you and improve your reflexes. You could also consider a nano cpx, which is similarly quick and has the added benefits of a collective heli. I have a 120sr bnf, msrx rtf, and nano cpx bnf. I'm still practicing good coordinated turns, no inverted stuff yet, but I like the way the nano flys the best.

Hi, I was wondering the same thing. So I contacted Oreck directly regarding the difference between the LW100 and the LW100LR. They told me it is the exact same vacuum. The only difference is the warranty. LW100 comes with the 7 year and 3 tune ups. LW100LR only comes with 5 years and no tune ups. They also said that as long as the seller on Amazon comes up as Oreck then you are buying it from Oreck. Now, I will say that it is very curious that they (oreck.com) are advertising the LW100LR for about $40 more than here and the LW100 for over $100 more than this one on amazon (LW100LR) which states it has the 7 year warranty and 3 tune ups. I will probably be buying this here and hoping they will honor the full 7 year warranty. Hope that helps

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

As long as you use the tethered trainer mode until you get used to flying it. Otherwise, if I had it to do over I would have probably gotten the HobbyZone Super Cub (VERY basic flyer but can be modified for flaps once more advanced) or better yet the new E-flite Apprentice S 15e RTF with SAFE which is supposed to be a very basic flyer and advanced flyer all in one plane. I read up on the SAFE technology built into it and sounds very interesting.

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.

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

We only have the 973 so I can't compare. The 973 is used frequently. It's still going strong and is reasonably quiet. We've had to replace the wood floor attachment, and the plastic on the metal tubes broke and we needed to replace a tube, but it gets a lot of use.

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

That's pretty much the only notable difference and from what I've read the Eliminator 2 is more popular. I love the 3 but could do without the windage.

We had a Honeywell in our previous older house and loved it. I looked online but it doesn't look like they offer that model anymore. The Honeywell we had was purchased and installed in 1995. We have built a new home and installed the Aprilair, because the reviews were great. We don't think the Aprilair filters as well as the old Honeywell we had. I'm not much help, sorry. I will say if you get one that works as well as the old Honeywell we had my answer would be, "Yes, it's worth it!"

There is the Intex Mariner 3, but it is a different boat than the Sea Hawk II--maybe mostly only by name. The Mariner 3 looks like an updated version of the Sea Hawk II, but I'm comparing only by looks. You'll have to compare the size. I can tell you that the Sea Hawk II is a great boat. It's very durable. If the Mariner 3 is as good or better than the Sea Hawk, you'll be happy.

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.

I really want to know which one to buy, also. I have two 80 lb. Golden Retrievers (and a psycho cat that shows up occasionally LOL). Does anyone have advice on the differences between the two models, and/or which is better? I have an average sized house; 3 bedrooms & 2 baths. All rooms, except the kitchen and baths, are carpeted. And of course, I have the two large (and always shedding) Goldens!
