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.

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.

I'm confused. Does this model have a 3HP Motor (as it says in the specs page) or just the standard 2HP? I want to buy the 3HP model

I really don't know how the Ridgid spindle compares to the Jet, and I only have experience with the Ridgid. Try one of the forums. Plenty of guys, plenty of opinions. Make some sawdust.

My black Columbia Whirlibird has a black interior jacket, with a narrow white pinstrip running down each side under the armpit. The jacket was purchased during the summer at Copper Mountain, CO. and very well could be the previous generation.

I don't remember. I got fed up with the changes made in the design and the difficulty of finding it at a reasonable price so I ordered a Whirlpool that is the same size, but is easier to clean and has more wattage!

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 Cuda - we had real problems with this unit right out of the box, and we were beginnners. It immediately flew 'crazy', and we couldn't figure out how to trim it correctly, and within 2 days were too frustrated to continue. We looked at numerous youtube videos in trying to trouble-shoot, but never got the issues resolved so we sent it back. We then bought the Traxxas 6608 LaTrax Alias Quad-Rotor Ready-To-Fly Helicopter, and had zero problems with it. The learning curve is virtually the same as the 180QX so for a beginner I would recommend it. It's very durable and hard landings haven't been an issue (as long as it lands on grass). Hard landings on asphalt or concrete will damage it (as expected). Hope this helps...

I believe the 3000 replaces the 300. They have about the same rpm range. The 3000 has a newer design, probably some features I can't really think of right not but mostly the same

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.

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.

My parents had the lower priced alternative. We really liked it, so we bought one for our family. I chose the more expensive one because it seemed to have a more powerful and more importantly, quieter motor. It also seemed like the more expensive one was a little bit more heavy duty and would last longer. Hope this helps. Either way, you will be happy with the result. So good.

I have the same model (732-500) and have 3 settings. The control doesn't even look like this one. Must be they upgraded?It runs hot. I think warm would be great as low is hot. For a person who's always cold in the winter, that's saying something. : )When I bought this one I also got a regular size. That one is easier to handle. The large one... is... large! I do like it but would recommend getting 2 sizes.Hope this helps.

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.

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!"

If 885T is better and 2009 model, why model 880 is still more expensive than the 885T? I have seen some comments about 885T not being so good in terms of quick alternate lane calculations, voice quality etc. Are these the same problems with 880 as well? Which one should I buy? Thanks.

From what I've read, the little one sounds exactly like mine, the one for $132. I would buy the cheaper one. I use it every day and love it!!
