According to reviews the cheaper one has plastic gears, while the heavy duty has metal gears.. Review

I do not know as I do not have the cheaper model. Personally I would spend the extra for the heavy duty model.

I have only used it since Christmas so have no long term experience with it.
Thanks guys I knew I was missing something.
