What is the DIFFERENCE between the B & D 420 series and the 220 series? Both are 12" and 20 volts???

The 420 is a newer model. I believe the 220 does not have the dual mode function where you can switch between an "economy" mode for longer battery life, and a "power" mode for a higher cutting speed. The 420 model I bought also came with 2 batteries, I'm not sure the 220 includes this.

The 420 series has the Runtime Extension Technology with dual-mode accelerator switch for high performance or longer run time. It also has up to one hour of runtime when using dual mode switch in run-time mode. The 220 series does not included this new technology.

will the 20V B&D; QUICK CHARGER charge this/these 2 batteries that are included,

I don't have the 20Volt model you mention, but just based on battery size, I'm guessing the B&D; battery will have more power and last longer. Again, these battery powered units are great as a sweeper, but not really for heavy duty yard leaf blowing. I alternate my battery with the B&D; weed eater too, and so far it works out great. Have had them about a year.

Regular 110. I returned mine. Didn't pop as well as my ancient Presto air popper.

I have the 18v and it works great; lots of torque. I got the 20v for a friend who helped me with a remodeling project. I've used them both, side by side, and I'd go with the 20v just because it's a newer series. As far as performance, they seemed identical to me. We were driving 6 inch screws in creosoted lumber, so they were working plenty hard.

Major difference between those 2 models is max power. NuWave PIC can go up to 1300W and NuWave PIC Pro High Powered can go up to 1800W. In practice it means that you will be able to cook "faster" with Pro High Powered model but in the same time you will need to make sure that the wiring for your kitchen outlet is 20A. If it is not the case you will face frequent pops of your fuse on this outlet or create fire hazard if installation is not done properly. Just as a safety precaution manufacturer equips this kind of devices with special plug that will not fit regular 15A outlet. It means you will not be able to use it in a lot of places where there is no 20A outlet. I personally own basic version and it is sufficient for my cooking needs. Nevertheless if you are power hungry you may look for 3000W Induction Cooktop from other makers. This kind of equipment will set you up for alteration of you kitchen wiring to 220V. In general it is not that difficult since the most american kitchen should be pre-wired for this possibility.

18v is the past (NiCad), they will be retiring this line. 20v ( Lithium Ion) is the future, it is lighter, no "memory" to deal with. If given the choice to start, with go with 20v system, that the future in B &D; cordless.

I do not know the difference, but I love my EPC 1200. I would not trade it in either.

If you buy the proper model. Make sure to purchase the 115vac model and standard kitchen recepticles will operate it. The 220vac model requires a double pole breaker feed. Also, limit other appliance use while operating this fryer, it requires more amperage than other kitchen "counter top" appliances

The chargers for the B&D; 20V MAX system are currently only available in 110V. The chargers do work fine on a small step-down transformer if you want to use with 220V.

Technically, the resistance is probably the biggest difference. Do not think they are in any way interchangeable though. Aside from being ten times the potential, the 12v is direct current (DC) and the 110/120v is alternating current (AC). Plug any 12v device into a wall outlet in your home and see what happens (wear insulated gloves, goggles, and keep a fire extinguisher handy). Comparing DC electricity to water in a pipe, voltage is like PSI.

I bought this item last May (2012) because it was listed as dual voltage. When it arrived the specifications on it said it was not dual voltage. I called Remington and they said this model was once made dual voltage but not any more. I told that to Amazon but apparently they have not updated their listing. So unless things have changed this model is not 220volt capable.

The user guide is correct about the low end of 175 volts. This is intended for 208/240 (220 has not existed in the US for the better part of a century). I purchased a unit in September 2012 that needed to have an upgrade to work properly with the Leaf. All new units will have this upgrade.

Andis does make 220 volt models. Don't know if Amazon carries them, but PetEdge does. Just saw them listed.

The answer should be on the label on the back....it will say 110/220 if it handles both.

I do not know . The TV works great , who cares what the number is. I asked a saleman in Frys Electronics. He told me there is no difference between 120 and 240. I have another TV which is 240, I do not see difference

If you get consumer electronics (in general, not just this one) and something rated for 220V blows up on 240V, send it back. The two are used almost interchangeably, even by engineers, and if it's not built to tolerate at least 10% more (which is more than the difference between those two) it shouldn't be in mass production to begin with.

I also have the 220 with a Samsung TV. But my room is fairly small (home office 10x10). If you have not done so, set the TV speakers to "mute" so that all of the audio comes thru ZVOX speakers. The 420 would be better in a larger room, since the unit is more powerful than the 220. You might already know about the "dialogue enhancement" button on the ZVOX remote, but just in case, give that button a chance to improve the sound quality. I believe it is "off" by default. So consider the bigger ZVOX if you have a large listening room.
