What is the difference between the two Chef's Pro grinders. One is about 50.00 dollars more. I do know the more expensive model has a fine blade, which is excludes from the less expensive model.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

Unless these are made of all Stainless Steel, I wouldn't buy either. I'm suspicious when they say "All Metal." They don't identify the metal, and by the looks of it, it's Aluminum. Not the most durable metal if you plan to clean this in a dishwasher, and that's the only way I would consider it clean.

Since I don't have both, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps it is just about the fine blade, which I doubt I'd use anyway. The one I purchased has two blades, a coarse and a medium. Mine is entirely made of metal and built to last. I would never waste my money on a plastic grinder.

From what I can see the extra fine grinding plate is the only difference between the two and not worth the $50.00 increase in price.

I just called Chef's Choice. Joice in CS told me that model 799 is made in the Czech Republic and has 1 more blade (the fine one). Model 796 is made in China. Both should be aluminum, not plastic.

My best guess is that the 796 is an older version of the 799 - slightly different designs, but essentially the same (799 has the extra cutter plate, and the pushers are different design). They are designed in Germany, manufactured in Europe (Hungary), and designed to mount on front of all KitchenAid mixers - both are a huge improvement over the KA (plastic) item. The extra blade(s) can be stored inside the pusher top.

well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare. The only real complaint i have is the rotating table, and the 0 point on it is not equivalent between a rotation to the right and the rotation to the left. I had to learn where the 0 was when i turned it. This is a simple and efficient tool for cutting some items for small jobs. If you need "exacting" quality, i would look elsewhere. GREAT for the price. Would imagine a slightly "newer" model might be better? Sorry, cannot comment on the 70716. well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare.

Great question. My guess? I'm pretty sure Amazon (even for Prime items) works through lots of different distributers. The one offering the single blade may be different than the one offering the double blade, hence the price difference. I could be wrong though.

The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite. It makes the saw quite a bit lighter, and probably more durable. Apparently, it also comes with a retractable hook. As far as the motor and performance go, I believe the two models are identical.I would base my purchasing decision on who will be using the saw, and how it will be used. If you need to make lots of one-handed cuts, or if you will be having someone that doesn't own the saw using it, I would probably spring for the mag model. If it's just you using it, and you are mindful of your tools, I think you will be perfectly satisfied with the $130 model. The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite.

Perhaps we will find out which is apt to burn out from both our experiences with our particular model. I really do not know which is apt to burn out more quickly. You could be right in your opinion, we do not know yet. I use my grinder perhaps twice a year. When I do, I process a few hundred pounds of meat. Last year was the first time I used an electric grinder and the 3000 is the first that I have owned. Its performance was excellent. Only time will tell if it holds up. Good luck!

I thought discussion was between "Artisan" and "Classic", not "Pro".... But in any case, I have had a "Classic" for about 15 years now, and my Wife just bought me an "Artisan" to take to Florida with us since we've become "snow birds" this year for the first time. And I turned them both on and the Classic definitely spins at a noticeably faster speed on all settings including the fastest speed setting, whereas the Artisan spins slower. I don't know about "when under load", but if you were whipping egg whites or cream, where the load is very low, I would expect that the old "Classic" would whip them faster on the basis of my "test" above.

I think the word "Pro" is a misidentification on the sellers part, it is a solid peeler, but does not over perform several others that are in my drawer. In fact it gets clogged up a bit more than my Kitchen maid peeler.

I have no idea why the price difference. I have used mine quite a lot ,no signs of wear yet. I would say it is well made . Hope this helps you.

Don't know the steel details. However, the boning knife performs as well as the chefs knife. I'm a butchers son. I would put either knife up against knives in the $200 plus range.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

My parents had the lower priced alternative. We really liked it, so we bought one for our family. I chose the more expensive one because it seemed to have a more powerful and more importantly, quieter motor. It also seemed like the more expensive one was a little bit more heavy duty and would last longer. Hope this helps. Either way, you will be happy with the result. So good.

The Pro has longer lasting memory. That is why it's warranty is five years, and the EVO's is 3. In real life use, that might not matter. Also, the Evo is about $100 cheaper for the half gig version.

I really don't know. I've had one for over a year and use it daily for Turkish grind. An excellent product, takes some time as fine as I grind but never any problems. Only today found an electric for under $350 that might match it.

Hi Dee, Sorry it took so long to respond to your inquiry. To be very honest, there is not a whole lot of difference between the two. I only bought the Softworks Grinder because I already had the Good Grips Pepper Grinder! They both work very well and the only thing that I can tell you is the name of each describes the design of the bottle. The Good Grips has a harder bottom part which is what you twist to get the pepper. The Soft Works is a smaller bottom and not as hard of a material. I'm not sure if this helps but, in truth, they are both good, cost about the same so it is kind of a personal choice on which style you like better. Happy Seasoning!!

I can't say for sure why the difference in price but I can say that this saw has performed well at every task I've given it. Not so much as a hiccup. Very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps.

Well, these two knives are basically the same. They have slightly different designs (in regards to the grip). But overall, their functionality is the exact same. I would go with the cheaper priced knife. This knife was once thirty dollars. Now that they are popular (and in my opinion a must have for anyone!!), they have gone wayyy up in price. This knife is a must for your pack, vehicle and as a gift for any loved one.
