There are apparently a couple of different models. The more
expensive one has a separate motor to drive the turntable,
instead of relying on the little plastic button on one of
the beaters like the other one does. I would think the motorized
one would work better, but I really don't know; I was looking
for one, but found a refurbished KitchenAid instead & got that.
