When I launched my online business last year, I felt that  it was very important
to have a “Frequently Asked Questions” section . Seems like a no brainer, unless one considers that I hadn’t come across customers yet  who would supply me with with  questions.
What I did with the section, was anticipate customer questions. I drew from my own experience with the products. Looking back, I thought I did a good job with the FAQ  section, but I think  one area I  may have  overlooked  was product differentiation.  One question that I received every day was:

” What’s the difference between Lelit PL51 and the PL41 models ?”

With all  the options that manufacturers present to customers nowadays, it should be no surprise that I was getting this question. Well, I’m going to answer it now.

There are actually  very few differences between the two models.

Lelit PL51 is  just the newest model out in the market. It’s widely available in the United States.
Lelit PL41 is an older but extremely popular model. Due to that popularity and the fact that it’s a discontinued model, it’s available at few vendors in the United States.
