Is there a huge difference from this one and the insulated one? Like is it worth paying the extra 40 dollars for the insulated one?

I own both...wish I hadn't bought the insulated one just because its not necessary unless maybe for winter camping. I'm a three season camper for the most part. Depends on how you're using it I guess.

First your question. I don't have an insulated one but I can tell you if you intend to sleep on the snow the non-insulated one will let the cold circulate right up to your body. I'm a warm person so I would never need an insulated one for very cold nights as long as there isn't snow on the ground. One other note, these have a tendency to develop very slow leaks which can be impossible to locate. I have to blow some more air into my during the night.

Mostly just weight. I'd suggest getting the cheaper one, bring a thin fleece blanket for between you and pad. I would also suggest getting some of the fin rubber material that people use in cabinets and put that in between you and the blanket. That materials helpful because this pad is slippery.

I have not used the insulated one yet, but I was extremely cold in some 30 degree temps on the AT last year. I upgraded my sleeping bag and purchased the insulated air mattress

Myself, I froze on this sleeping Pad. I also bought an insulated one (around $166), but I still froze. I Returned Insulated one, because I still Froze with it. Now I just use a foam pad because with the air sleeping pads - I freeze (could be just me).

Yes. This pad can get very cold. I would recommend the insulated pad. I've had a couple very cold nights.

If you want an all around mat for cold/warm then just use your survival blanket under this.

It depends on your camping environment. We camp mostly in the summer, so the cool ground pulling some heat is welcome. However, in the winter or when it's cold, you'll want that extra insulation between you and the ground. So for us, no it was not worth the extra cost.

I actually bought two blue one, got two of these, and the returned the blue ones. There's little differences that make this cooler better. Metal hinges instead of plastic flex hinges that will break (that's a biggie for me). Locks to keep the top closed. As I recall, this one seals better. I think how the wheels connect to the cooler might be different, but I'm not sure on that one. I think the padding on the handle is slightly different. Side-by-side, the blue one felt like a cheap knockoff. It's obvious they cut corners to get the price down for walmart/sams. If I could find little surface things that were inferior about the blue one, how do I know that the insulation isn't also worse or the plastic isn't thinner?

I have used both and had the more expensive one first. It did not heat the lotion as well and if you used more than a few pumps it was cold. It quit working about a year after purchase which prompted me to purchase the lower priced model when I replaced. The lower priced one seems to be much better and keeps all the lotion nice and warm. It is easier to clean and overall I like it better. I use mine in my massage therapy practice so it gets a good workout each day. Overall I am happier with the less expensive model.

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily.

Lol. Not really. Not that big of a difference. Just a little colder. They do make the ones with Hot and cold options.

It's not that great. Purchase the non insulated one. The only difference is that the extra layer helps with condensation and as a protective layer. The insulaton doesnt help thatuch at all. It's better to place your bottle in the shade.

Actually - I find no difference in either. The inside of this cooler is a hard plastic shell. It doesn't leak, so cubes work great. I usually use the ice packs because they seem to last longer. I very much like this cooler. I've had several over the years and think this is the best one.

Just order the same one as the picture. BTW...after getting mine, I did a little experiment with it. I tested two cans of soda, one with the insulator and one without and using a accurate cooking thermometer, tested the speed and amount of warming in a two hour period. In an seventyfive degree room, the can with the insulator gained 18 degrees while the can without gained 41 degrees. So, it works pretty well. -RL

The quality of the one I bought is better. Clearer screen view and is supposed to last longer for your t/v. I bought the other one before and didn't last long and the difference in price is not to much. So is worth it.

Not 100% sure but I think the difference is that the graphics comes with a cozy foot cover..I really wanted it but.... I never use it so I so t think it's worth the extra $

the only difference I have found if the foam. I tried out a friends basic model and then bought the one with the foam as I have a very bad back. I have not been sorry for spending the extra money. Good luck on your purchase.

This one is not insulated - the insulated one is "Podium Chill". It does not leak ever! Even if it is in the open position it doesn't leak into backpacks -that's why I think its worth the money...

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!

I don't think there is any difference, except the storage case. You might have found some merchant who's overcharging for the item. Try searching other sites. By the way, I do like the space saving feature on on the BABHS40, but frequently when I take it out to use I have to be careful and hold the cover shut with my fingers so that the rollers don't fall out.

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

I had wash my thermos so I can get all of the stuff that trapped behind the gasket etc. There's a much better thermos out there at a lower price. This is the one I upgraded too. Thermos Stainless Steel King 24 Ounce Food, Midnight Blue it holds more food and costs less than the one you're looking to buy.

I wonder why the less expensive one is less expensive...are the differences in feel, materials, quality and/or size?
