What makes this model (KAB6) more expensive than the KAB4? They look identical to me.

The propane hose has a braided metal cover. Makes it more resistant to heat, UV and hot water if you spill on it.

its been a while since I purchased this one. I did at one time see the kab6 in a store up close and really liked it I think trying to compare the two online weight was different. by 10lbs the kab6 is bigger and I think made out of steel and the other sheet metal.

They're very close. The biggest difference is the size of the stand on the kab6 is much wider and sturdier to be able to handle a larger kettle. I use a 1/2 beer keg converted to a kettle to brew beer in and it fits perfect on the 6. On the 4 it's a very close fit and looks like it could fall off. But the 4 and 6 have the same burner and regulator. So if the stand width works for you, get the 4. But the 6 is much more comfortable to work with.

The KAB6 can support pots up to 162 quarts (40.5 Gallons) and the KAB4 can support up to 100 quarts (25 gallons). Same regulator, same heat output, just a more robust frame. Incidentally, I just tested the limits of the KAB6 today. I have a 45 gallon brew kettle, filled with 40 gallons of water and I was able to bring it from 80F to 220F (above boiling) in 78 minutes.

If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be complaining about it. I read the reviews prior to ordering and several complained about this. I thought I'd get lucky, but NO. I ordered the KMC1 and have had no issues whatsoever. It's an additional hundred dollars, but well worth it. It sounds tons better, too. Shame on me for not following my gut and paying attention to reviews.

I would guess because way more people buy the black one over the blue one. I have both now, and I can tell you the only difference is the color. From what I have seen with both, they are the exact same thing in the same color. I don't want to tell you one thing and have you go and buy it, but that's what I've noticed.

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal. More same than different.

With KuKri you get a good price for a great hand made product. With KBAR you pay a lot for just a name. I've had KBARs and other name brands and truthfully I'm not happay. Only name brand products i would recommend is Cold steal and only their high end stuff.

Hi CB,I am looking at KEF's at 6ave, they have some great package deals. Did you consider the KEF 3005 before deciding on 5005? I am confused between both. Price difference is three hundred dollars.ThanksB

Look for the black one, i noticed the color ones are almost twice as expensive

Looks exactly the same. Probably different sellers putting it as different names to their models. If you go on to the web site and click on one, then open anothe page and look at the second. They are exactly the same, same size, same model, same colour. Get the cheaper one and save yourself money. If there is a new and used one, get the new one.

I apologize for responding a little late. As you know prices fluctuate, I wished it was fluctuating that closely when I purchased my K-5, as I would've bought the K-5 II. I hope you purchased the K-5 II and are happily using it!

They look the same to me, judging by the pictures. The only difference seems to be different sellers. So I assume the more expensive one is the same item, but the seller is just charging more for it. They both have free shipping.

I noticed the same thing, Kurt. I'm planning on getting this after the new year, but if the price keeps going up on this site, I may try a less expensive alternative!

I bought the pink one first and loved it so much I ordered a blue one, which cost slightly more. They are identical. I just thought nobody wanted the pink ones so they were cheaper. Mine have screw tops, which I prefer.

I am curious, too. The price is $13 more, for what seems like the identical product.

My cousin, to my dismayed surprise, has the Soundbot SB240 upon showing off my 66 Audio. They look the same, they feel the same, they sound the same, they ARE the same. Unless you think the extra pouch is worth it, no the extra cash is not justified.

I was wondering the same thing. Obviously one difference is price, in which I'm going with the cheapest!

B0 is blue and it just so happens to be discounted off the retail price. K0 is black and is selling for full retail. I've seen this happen before with products. I can tell you that when I bought mine in December both items were the same price.

They're both basically the same other than this one being a little cheaper price wise the the T-fal name on it and the B100 being a bit more with the krupps name on it. The main difference between these two and the higher end models is the higher ones have digital displays, but functionally they all do the same thing.
