    Default Bottom feeder for newbie

    hello to all

    I would like to buy a bottom feeder
    but I am undecided between these 3 models:

    Reo Mini - nice and small, perfect on the beach offender

    Reo Woodvil - beautiful, noble, simple and beautiful

    Bogger BF - very cute and fantastic finished

    What do you say ?

    And sorry for my english

    Andrea

    I'm about to order a Reo Grand, the wood ones are pretty and all, but I am a clutz and drop this ego that I have all the time. I would cry if my beautiful wooden mod got all scratched up the way this ego is.

    I have 2 and they are beautiful as well as functionally sound.

    I own a Black Reo Grand, it's really nice.
    a)It's easy cleaning (you can literally run it under water without the battery or juice and then let it dry),
    b)Easy to change flavors (just swap the bottle),
    c)Squonking (or feeding the atty) can take some getting used to but once you find your rhythm you're set,
    d)there's a whole bunch of people on the reomod part of the forum that are always around to help people out with their issues,
    e)lastly, if you need to have your reo fixed you can send it into rob and he has good turnaround time from what I hear (even if you didn't buy it from rob, never had to send my in, thank g-d)

    I'll admit I'm a bit bias, but there's good reason for it
