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 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.

I believe the only difference is that the 3rd generation has slightly longer plates than the regular iron. Neither of these flat irons are of the current generation, which is why they're being sold so cheaply. I think they must be a few years old, because if you look at the current 1-inch flat iron on HSI's website, it's slightly different and costs quite a bit more. That said, I bought the regular iron here and I could not be happier with it. It's everything I wanted. I can curl or straighten my hair, it doesn't burn, the temperature can be adjusted so easily. My only warning is that it doesn't have an automatic turn-off, so you need to be someone who can always remember to turn it off or unplug it.

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

My Whirlpool started peeling, right under the three plate support wheels. Other than that it still works good. Was considering getting one of these Danbury's. Maybe it's because I've had the Whirlpool 17 years, and the peeling started a couple of years ago. It's time for a change, I suppose, if I can make up my mind which one to 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!!

I gave my WL Lightning Bird to my local Hobby Shop and got a Blade 120 SR RC Helicopter .The 120 SR is one of the Best RC Helicopter you can get. My WL Bird broke after about 4 - 5 flights.

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.

Not sure about the other models in requested comparison. My observations:- extremely effective. Moves huge volume of air.- Can be somewhat noisy. Low frequency buzz & "whoosh" of air- weak point is the angle adjustment which is governed by friction from a couple of washers and rubber grommets. Need to keep tight all the time. Suggest replacing with better/ larger fasteners

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.

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.

Quick answer is Motor SIZE. Looks like you are comparing the brushless motor version with the brushed motor version. The brushless is 380, the brushed is 550 titan. Brushless is faster, more reliable, longer lasting, etc, hence, why it costs more. Not only will the motor sizes be different, but the "motor mounts" and the electronic speed controller "ESC" included will be as well. I bought the 550 brushed version, you will be pleased w/ it. If you take this hobby seriously, when the motor dies just buy a 550 sized brushless motor AND ESC. Happy hunting

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

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.

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.

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.
