KHB300 vs. KHB100 For those of you who have the KHB300, I was wondering whether you felt that the attachments that come with the 300 (e.g. whisk, chopper, etc) are useful, and whether they're worth the added cost vs. the 100. As far as I can tell, the included attachments are the only difference between the two models, and I'm curious about whether they're worth the $40 difference. Thanks!

I don't have info on the motor, other than both use 60 Hz frequency and 120 volts. For those wondering about the need for attachments, I have the full set, but the immersion blender stick (with mainly the blender attachment, instead of the wire wisk) does get used the most. I will use the wire wisk attachment (for small batches of whipped cream, for low fat mayonaise and whipping egg whites) and the chopper attachment for small jobs. Yet, if you already have a small chopper that you use, then I don't see the need for this attachment. Also, if you don't make small batches of whipped cream or mayonaise or egg whites, then this may be a useless attachment for you.

I can't find any data on how powerful the motors are in either of these models. Everyone says they are powerful, but what watts are the motors for each?

The link above no longer points to Ryuji Suzuki's great review, so here is the permalink - http://www.amazon.com/review/R38BQM4Q0FPCFW/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

The plastic gears inside the food chopper and the whisk attachments died very quickly for me. So, I now have the KHB 100 for the price of the 300!

You probably find the answer in my review...I can't seem to get a direct link to it, sorry.

I did search out your post (Ryuji Suzuki), and think it adds to the discussion; http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AYCAIHABPYWVJ?ie=UTF8&display;=public&sort;_by=MostRecentReview&page;=5 . Since my grocery outlet no name model lasted a month of daily use, I'm ready to search out a long lasting model. Cheers

Thank you for your input. I was trying to find out if the ss780pc was an upgrade or not, and you answered that question. I personally would purchase the ss780pc due to the fact that it has twice as many k-cups (at least $25 value) plus the additional water filters. You'd save money in the long run by spending the additional $10.

Cheaper to buy a new one. You probably won't notice the difference anyway. Both will strain you to cock it if you don't make or use a pre-fab cocking device. Then you'll be happy with either. Trust me it is worth the $10 - $20 it will cost you. I made my own in 15 minutes.

I had a 8006 before I upgraded and I would say it's not worth it. The big difference I noticed was that I didn't have to cut cukes into four pieces lengthwise anymore, half would suffice. Since I juiced spinach everyday for the past 3 weeks on this machine and for 1 year on my old 8006 I noticed that juicing was quicker but if I still had my 8006 at the time of purchase I wouldn't have bothered with the NC800. If you have money to burn I then buy it, it's a nice enough upgrade but if you are counting pennies, don't get it.

I own the Pro 600 and its great for kneading dough..the bowl is big and accomadates double batches for my cookies....However be warned that the noise it makes will sit on your last nerve..the drive is different then the Artisan so its far noisier..and having had the tilt head prior to this..I must say I like that more then the lift...Perhaps you want to go hear it in person before buying it..you can do that at Williams Sonoma stores...If you can stand the noise..you will probably love the mixer..does pizza dough for me in a few minutes...great every time!

ok.. well it was the same rep apparantly.I will just open the 4104 and try it out.. If I don't like it, I will return it. thanks for your help. The thing is.. those comparisons you linked above are not the same as what is listed on the box. The tools have different names, and the "pet hair lifter' attached to the bottom of the machine is not listed on the site, but clearly states it on the box, and I played with it in the store so I know it has it.. I don't trust the comparisons.Oh well. Thanks

HI, The SR 300 will have a 6.1 MP vs the SR100 has a 3.0 MP.....I think the SR300 is going to be much much better....now I can throw away my digital camera because 6.1 MP is excellent but 3.0MP is to low. Also this is going to have the latest high tech processer and stablization system. oh, also you can take a picture while you are video recording. Frank

In asking other people when I was shopping I found that the 300 is the latest model. Some said the 100 took too long to charge devices. Good Luck.

Looks like the ELPH 300 sports a wider angle lens (24mm) than the ELPH 100 (28mm) and a 5x zoom, vs. the 4x zoom on the ELPH 100. The back interface is also different. The 300 offers several more buttons, including one-touch video mode, and a 2.7" LCD screen. The 100 has fewer buttons and a 3" LCD screen. That 24mm lens sounds especially good to me. I also prefer more buttons vs. a larger screen, and obviously the 5x zoom is an advantage. I'm going to give the ELPH 300 a shot. EDIT: Also read that the 100 does not optically zoom during video, but I'm not sure of that. Worth checking out if it's important to you. I know the 300 supports optical zoom during video, which for me is important.

One difference that I know of is that you can get attachments for the 150, and you cannot for the 180. I would not purchase the 180 for that reason. When I go to the company website, they do not even offer the 180, and I wonder if they are still making it. If you want to hand cut your pasta forever, get the 180. If you want to make all kinds of pastas, get the 150. Hope this helps. We have not bought pasta since we purchased the machine. It is so easy and fun to use. After making the pasta a couple of times, I do not need the recipe. Just remember, 3/4 C of flour per egg. Divide the dough by how many eggs. If you use 3 eggs, divide the dough in thirds. You will love making your own pasta!

I dont own a bk 10 but I do have a bk2 which has the same handle design and the handle ergonomics are much better than the rat5. As far as the blade itself I really couldnt tell you. If you cant get your hands on both to get a feel for them before purchasing one or the other Id say just watch as many youtube reviews as you can on the both of them.

The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite. It makes the saw quite a bit lighter, and probably more durable. Apparently, it also comes with a retractable hook. As far as the motor and performance go, I believe the two models are identical.I would base my purchasing decision on who will be using the saw, and how it will be used. If you need to make lots of one-handed cuts, or if you will be having someone that doesn't own the saw using it, I would probably spring for the mag model. If it's just you using it, and you are mindful of your tools, I think you will be perfectly satisfied with the $130 model. The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite.

I've only tried the Ikon, and am satisfied with it. It makes perfectly good juice. I don't see the need to spend the extra $, although granted I've only been using it for a month (approx. every other day). I would be interested to hear from someone who has tried both. I'd like to know, for instance, if there's a higher yield with the Elite, or is the Elite expected to last longer?

I think the SC300 upgrade has different pieces than SCJR-100, that make up the difference between 100 and 300 project kits. For individual parts you would be better off getting the p/n from the booklet and contacting customer service listed in the book, in my opinion. List of all parts in the kit should be listed somewhere on the mfg website, if you want to compare the content, or call the 800# and ask to email/fax you content/list of both kits.

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!

I have NOT used a 100. My educated "guess" would be, owing to the feature set in particular (SBM, et al) that the edge would go to the newer, slightly "beefier" 100. That being said, I'm not sure that in a familiar environment, under ideal conditions, anybody would find telling the two apart would be particularly easy. It's an equivocal attempt at an answer, but I suspect the real question is "Is the 100 worth difference in price?" Only you can divine that answer for yourself. Shop carefully, don't pull the trigger on anything that does not have a generous return option and (if possible) audition them side by side.....

Honestly, I think the CJ 625 might be stronger. I saw some reviews on YouTube and it seems to extract the juice a lot faster than the CJ630. I mean it gets the job done and I've had it since January; still going very strong.
