What makes an item professional?

Last night whilst shopping I saw a deep fat fryer alongside a professional deep fat fryer.

Then a hair dryer next to a professional hair dryer.

What's the difference, and does anyone seriously fall for that nonsense?

Professional gear should be capable of higher/longer usage than non-prof...

They make it with more metal bits and charge double.

Depends whether it's red or not. The pro must be better since it costs more, right

Yep, my pro toaster has them, makes one hell of a difference to my breakfast

What's the difference?

About fifty quid

Depends how they dress and what street corner they hang out on. Simples

It should have better parts, normally metal, and should work for longer. As said above really.

What nonsense? That pricier stuff is usually better than the cheap stuff?

At an old workplace, the toilets were kitted out with Kimberley Clark Professional products. There was much speculation over the differences between a standard (amateur) bog roll dispenser and a professional one.

Does anyone have a bog roll dispenser at home that looks like the ones you get at work?

We still use newspaper on a bit of string.

this takes the biscuit...

The smoke and mirrors answer is that you need to be a professional to tell the difference - amateur bum wipers take note.

When my garage was broken into the Bosch Professional power tools (sander, circ saw, planer, jig saw, grinder, drills) supplied by the insurance company were far superior to the B&D and Wickes stuff they took.

I was tempted to leave a note on the door thanking the thieves.
