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.

Do not buy this unit. I did not give it a good review. Buy the Whisperpure 510 by Whirlpool. It is more expensive, but worth every penny of it. Keeps the air clean and is very quiet. My daughter has had one for several years and is still working.

Nautilus R514 Recumbant post: Your review is good - and not having seen these two sister products side-by-side, I would definitely say that the Schwinn display looks more updated (color, etc.) while the Nautilus looks bad. You did miss one thing: the R514 has a 'powerful fan.' Now, I like that feature, but I can get the 240 for $399 including tax and shipping. That means that for $150 I get a better warranty and a fan, but many of the reviewers on various sites have said that the fan is, in the words of Charles Barkley, TURRIBLE! So I agree with you, and am going to order the Schwinn. Using an external fan may not be chic, but it probably works better and it's free (top shelf of my hall closet :-)). Thanks for the fine review - well done.

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...

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

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!

My fan has 3 nickel blades. You should definitely not get fewer (i.e. 2)blades for a large room. It seems that the picture is wrong for the model 802. Here is the line item info from my order 18 months ago: 1 "Caframo Limited 802CA-KBX Ecofan Airplus, Nickel Blade"Health and Beauty; $127.99Good luck.Jerry

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 have this system yet but am looking at it. I saw this question posted on the 28401E model and it was stated that the difference between the two was that the 28401E is an older model and the 28403E is the newer model. The newer 28403E has a water softening system on it.

Wow, I have to retract my initial response after noticing WHICH model this was. I returned the 1600W as an albatross. No idea how heavy but that thing was huge. I returned it for the X5 1200 which is super. It only weighs 290g / 10.2 oz and does a great job.

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.

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.

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 have a Windward II fan. The owner's manual lists models 523 342 and 523 127, so it appears as though your Windward III is the same as the II. As I said in my review, this remote works the same as the original, except no light dimming...only on or off. You may want to contact the seller to be sure of compatibility.

Have not used the 330 but the 370 is great. My husband I have gone out in the 370 several times and loved it and last time we took our 7 year old daughter with us and it was great. We have not gone white water either just some nice lakes.the rating and weight compacity are two things you need to compare.that will tell how good it is and how much it can handle.Make sure it is mets the NMMA requirements.
