How does this differ from the Knox unit that looks identical for $49.95?

I'm not sure, I know I love mine and it has better reviews than the others. Sorry, that's all I can tell you.

I think the only difference is the name brand. I went with the cheaper one just in case I didn't like it. Turns out, I really like and it was a good buy.

The biggest difference -- perhaps the **only** difference -- is that the exterior of the $499 set has a matte, brushed aluminum finish (as opposed to the shiny, stainless steel finish of the more expensive set).I bought the less-expensive set, and the brushed-aluminum exterior finish on my set scratched easily and immediately.It was absolutely heartbreaking; it was such lovely cookware for the first 15 seconds out of the box!BUT!!! that said, their performance is every bit as good as the more expensive set. So, if you can live with a less-than-pristine exterior appearance, then you can have a super-high quality product at a good price!Hope this helps.

Looking at the model numbers, they appear to be about the same.All black: MRS152-30 (originally $23)Shiny black w/ silver: MRS152UV-3 (originally $40)Since they appear to have the same set-up (2 sockets, 2 USB ports - 1A, 2.1A), I'm guessing the price difference relates to the plain plastic vs. fancy shiny casing.

Yes, it absolutely is, the same unit just different branding. Very happy with it!

I have not seen any difference other than a little different styling. A different year perhaps? It sounds the same and it has the same on/off switch, volume controls, etc.

Look on the site for others that look alike, I bought one for $3.00 and one for $11.oo and they are both the same. They both do the work.

Since I have only the 2551, I'm guessing - but it appears the only difference is the color of the face (the area surrounding the vents). Mine is silver and the picture for the 2554 shows a 'gold' or 'bronze' color. Otherwise they seem to be the same fan.

Sorry to say, I'm not sure of any difference. Both seem to be identical. I just know that I love mine and I'm sure you would too. Good luck!

I bought a remanufactured unit, which was less then the new unit. 349.00 new and 279.00 remfg. I don't know where you found the new unit for 249.00? I have to tell you that I am very pleased with the one I bought. Have not used my regular stove oven since. The convection feature is great. Pizza is the best. Pies are wonderful Cookies are even better. VERY PLEASED.

I've heard there's some improvement in the power supply, and also an anti-pop circuit that was added to remove speaker pop when the unit is turned on. The nice thing is that this unit is priced so closely to the old unit, might as well buy this one. When I bought mine I actually found it on Amazon for $2 cheaper than the old unit. Since prices on Amazon tend to flux, it's good to check what all merchants are offering at the time.

Descriptions are the same. Go with the less expensive one. Difference in price is significant.

The only difference I found was the price. The one I bought here is just fine and does the job very well.

I still haven't seen a satisfactory answer to this question. All the comments suggest the UE is equal or superior to the Squeezebox yet no one has explained why the latter, an older model, is triple the price. You don't see a price drop this huge without some tradeoffs.

Not sure what the difference is, but we got ours for @$500 on amazon and it has worked very well with no complaints here; much better deal than spending $1000s on a custom installed system!

I did a lot of research on their site and found large pics to examine. It looks as if the countertop model does not have a lip to catch the hole in your countertop. Otherwise they do look identical. Iwas trying to save some cash too but decided to pay the extra and not risk having to return. Hope this helps.

I bought it. The one I have is neither. It looks nickel??? I don't know metals well, but I know it's silver/nickel. It's not golden/brass coloured at all. Also the retractable wire is very thin. (to save space) it's basically a figure 8 shape, but on it's side, thin plastic... It's prone to break if you use the cable and move it around and plug/unplug it a lot. Luckily mines only for computer stuff and behind my setup, but if you have other plans for it, beware.

That's the same picture of the one I got. I love it. It works better then more expensive models.
