What's the difference between this and the InstantVeg, besides being $20 more expensive

I'm not familiar w/InstantVeg but I had to write to say how much I like this kitchen toy. I've used many times now and never disappointed. It has a non-skid bottom which is very helpful. Once you get the veggie in place, it works like a charm. The little things you have to remember about size, shape and placement are easy after a few tries. It cleans easily and gets the job done and boy do I love the spiral potatoes in my soup broths and home fries. Cukes are more fun now in my salad and I'm likely to eat more for some reason. I just really like this thing and have no idea if any other model is more or less useful. I'm rambling....sorry:-) I'm not familiar w/InstantVeg but I had to write to say how much I like this kitchen toy. I've used many times now and never disappointed.

All I know is this is the one my wife wanted and she is a very thrifty person so the price difference must have been worth it. Remember.. "you get what you pay for."

I am not familiar with the InstantVeg, but I found this item to be way over priced also. I didn't like the way it handled because I could never center the vegetables and I would have half moon shaped veggies and not total spirals. I wound up giving this contraption away and buying one that's white, sets on the counter and very easy to use for less money!

I couldn't find any useful English direction in the box either. Had to go on YouTube to find a video demo, and ended up watching a demo of the Brieftons InstantVeg spiralizer which looks pretty similar. I was stuck not knowing how to put the rod through the hole on the lid, but the assembly demo was clear enough to help me sort that out in the end.

We all decide how to spend our money. I bought the FreshTech last summer as a bit of a splurge and ended up using it 3-4x/wk and was very happy with it. It is much easier than boiling giant pots of water and lugging them around the kitchen. It is not a substitute for a pressure cooker and if you want to can low acid vegetables, meat, or seafood, then that is what you will need to buy. Most sources do not recommend canning jams or jellies in a pressure cooker because the heat and pressure are so high that it can break the jell in your preserves. This item does fill a niche, but it is niche that worked for me. I appreciated the convenience and water conservation. We all decide how to spend our money.

I think the main difference is in the materials. Some of the more expensive mats are made from organic cotton and natural foam. Some do not use plastic for the flowers. This can be very important to people with sensitives. I do suffer from multiple chemical sensitives and would prefer an organic cotton mat without plastic, but I can honestly say that this mat has never caused me to react after I let it air out.

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

Buy the cheaper one, it's the same product. The difference might be that one product is aimed for the consumer market and the other at the commercial market.

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

Price is the only difference I can see. Save yourself a few dollars, this one works great - I also use it to make Cuban sandwiches & it does a great job!

Personally, I prefer the orange (though still more expensive to buy online than at Whole Foods or at Sprout's) and am really glad it is priced less than the lemon - it is my favorite!

I posted a similar question under the animal product review. Reply post indicates that the animal isn't worth the extra $50 over the DC25.

I bought this blender(paid $289 total cost) to make veggies/fruits smoothie and its performance to other blender brands costing $400+. I don't see why you can't make hot soup with this blender.(Although I haven't tried/never needed it.)I don't really care if this blender takes longer to blend things together than others costing hundreds of dollar more, what matter is the end result of what you intended to mix. It's like: Toyota Camry is a good car, Honda Accord is a good, which car "performs" better is a subjective thing.

We blend spinach for green smoothies every day -- and it totally pulverizes the leaves. From looking at comparison videos, the VERSA probably takes 20-30 seconds longer than a Vitamix to achieve the same final result when blending greens, but I will happily save the $200-300 and stick with my VERSA.

I'm not sure there is a difference. To buy it locally we needed to go to Whole Foods. But I decided to buy online. When I bought online I was not aware it was coming from Europe and the estimated delivery was like 4-6 weeks. In reality it came in a week. The reason we wanted this specific product is that it was recommended by my wife's doctor while she was pregnant. I think the product at Whole Foods is the same brand.

To be quite honest, I believe they're the exact same thing. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. Whichever is the cheaper is the one I would get at the time since the shelf life was the same. Let me know if you have any further questions. D. Smith

I don't know that it tastss better. I just make plain yogurt and then put my own fruit in it. It is cheaper but more importantly I know what ingredients go into it.

You know I did a lot of research before I finally purchased my Dyson and the best I've been able to determine the machine itself is the same. I've heard from others that the Animal has stiffer bristles in the motorized head but the two seemed the same to me in the store. The main difference (besides the color) appears to be what's included in the box. You get a different set of tools with the Allergy model than you do with the Animal. The Allergy comes with a soft dusting brush, matress tool and flexi crevice tool that add up to $89.97 purchased seperately. The Animal comes with a mini turbine head, low reach tool and a carpet cleaning kit with Zorb and Dysolv which add up to $145.96 purchased seperately. I think that's your difference in pricing. Hope this helps you out!

I have tried this and the Manuka honey that comes in the l7+ounce plastic jar and is a slightly less expensive product. Hands down the Gold Raw Organic is the better honey. It is smoother, creamier and much better tasting as it is a lighter flavor. Since there is very little difference in the price I'll stay with the Gold. I don't think it tastes in the least medicinal.
