Which is older/newer? I see JP-30 and "Mini" and they look different. Handle coming off still an issue? on which??

The difference appears to be the size of the bottom piece, which holds the ground material. The mini will hold all of material ground fine when the upper part is filled with unground coffee beans. I never had a problem with the handle coming off my Mini, but there is nothing holding it on on either model. The Mini appears to be easier to hold firmly.

I think the jp-30 is older than came the mini. I own the mini, it's good for grinding one cup at a time. Handle coming off not an issue at all. Never had a problem, easy to clean the grinding mechanism. I highly recommend it.

It looks to me like the only difference is the handle. I have the LU, but didn't pay $80 for it. I got mine because the handle arm part was very long, good for pushing then pulling it back to me stepping to the side and doing it again (less walking). Good luck on your decision. I still love mine 3 - 4 winter later working great!

Rotadent has come out with a new model...It replaces the Plus. The Plus model had issues regarding the handle and I had mine replaced 4 or 5 times. Hopefully, they fixed the issues with the new model!

I used it on the original mini. My advice: just don't buy it. I threw it away instantly.

Hi, I have this model and I am absolutely happy with it. I canot tell the difference with other models, but if you have any specific questions, I would be happy to answer. PS. Made in JAPAN- this is the major difference)))

We have the City Mini Double (not GT - don't know if there's a difference in handle or not) - it works very well for our needs. I tried 3-4 different ones before I settled on this one.

From friends of mine who've had both (and also advised me to purchase this product. The number of upgrades are quite numerous and some of the best ones are subtle (like huge improvements to the interaction of strokes to emulate a real brush/pen feel for example.) From where I am sitting, I would say that it is very much worth the upgrade. In case you're still curious as to what all is actually different, here's a link to a list of what each version has. http://manga.smithmicro.com/comparison.html

I would have to say it is the 30 pin. But this system is by far the best mini system I have ever owned. I don't think you would be disappointed. I have had this Sony for about 6 months and I absolutely love it!!

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

Honestly I don't know. I don't have the mini I just have the regular one. But since they are the same maker and the same plastic for both cases, it might be tough also. Sorry

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

I don't want to knock knock-offs. This Jukii is much the same design as the old Brother 1500. In fact, in the old days, Juki made them for Brother. However, I have a friend who has the Pfaff knock-off of the Juki 2010Q but it doesn't have the three speeds. She always wants to use mine for free motion quitting. I like having the speed choices. Now that Juki is making home sewing machines (they used to just do commercial ones), they may not want to make the others exactly identical to their own.

My old pan which I am trying to replace has a small handle also. That handle makes it much easier to use. If anyone knows where I can buy the skillet with 2 handles I would appreciate that information

Just rec'd mine- no jimping. I'd wait if you must have jimping. I would've liked it, but then, for cardboatd cutting, you should use a hammer grip, and jimping might be less comfortable there.The design is beautiful- like a mini Sage 1, (i have a Sage & have hard used it.) but my version was also VERY tight- the lock, the pivot, everything just barely wanted to move and took a lot of force.I've adjusted it and not it can open 1 handed, but the lock is still a bit stiff. I have way too many Spydies and this is the first w/ QC issues. The build quality is nice, but not superb, (corners need rounding.) I don't know- might have to send it in for repair. Good luck!

Very similar but mini specs show it weighs a tad more. Handles are also slightly different. Same blade lengths.

I have a really old Mighty Might, so it may be the "original". It says "2HP" on the side. It uses C style bags. MM style did not fit. It still works like new. I am getting the newest one now for my sister. I hope it is as good as the "original".

If you have smaller hands you wont like the grips of the ff6. The Ontario sp6 (same great blade) will fit you better. Yes, I have both and the sp6 sells for less and handles better. I now have two sp6 and one ff6. More free advise-If you're looking at the ka-bar, the cold steel leatherneck handles better. (same reason)
