What is the difference between this model and the previous one?

The newer model is slightly larger, but weighs less than 14lbs. which is 8.3lbs. LESS It has 2 additional brushes which are specially designed to cover sealed hardwood floors and tile & grout. 360 clean: SpinScrub Technology gently washes and scrubs hard floors from all angles. Wash, scrub & dry: Switching between options is a snap. CleanBoost Control applies extra detergent to stains and heavy traffic areas. 11.5" Removable Nozzle provides a combined squeegee and suction to quickly dry. Removable for easy cleaning. It uses several different Hoover cleaning solutions, the Hoover Multi-FLOORPLUS 2x concentrated is great and you don't need much unless the floors are a high-traffic area or very dirty. There are solutions designed for use cleaning grout and another for wood floors. I like that it leaves the floor so dry that there are no steaks and so clean that you can feel the difference with your bare feet. As I said, I didn't have the previous version, all the technical information I found on different web sites and the last is my personal opinion and observation. I have other brands that called their brands (Shark, Bissell and others) that said they were cleaners or sanitizers and all they did was much around hot, dirty water. The only difference between them and mopping is that they were easier to push around, the water remained hot, and you were not bending over to wring it out. Even the ones that said they dried the floors, did not unless you went over them at least at least three times (it varied, depending on the humidity level). There is nothing worse than pulling up water that is not clean after you have used the machine at least twice. It is discouraging and disgusting. That is why I LOVE this one, it cleans using very little of the 2x solution (a small bottle is included) and then removes the water leaving you with a clean, dry floor without streaks. It is lightweight and I am nor writhing in pain when I finish.

The biggest difference I can see is that the Deluxe does not have a vacuum feature. That's a downside for me, but you may not be looking for an all-in-one machine.

the first model had a vacuum and the water tank is smaller. I have had both and the deluxe is much better, just do not leave extra wash solution in the tank while in storage.

Hoover customer service said the difference is that this new model has a wood floor scrubber and a tile/grout scrubber. the previous version had only one type of scrubber.

The new model (late-2013) is slimmer than the old measuring 18mm as compared to the 19mm seen in the previous edition (late-2012). Hopefully the manufacturer will respond.

The only difference I see from the pictures is that the steamer hole area seems to have a different design. The old one is a smooth opening, whereas the new model seems to have ridges around it.

This new model has cord storage in the back. That is the only difference between this fan and the previous model.

As far as I can tell, there is no difference. All of the specs are identical - I thought maybe it was just an "updated" version. Hope this helps!

The picture is clearly the new model. This is misleading if people are getting the older model. The current model is a significant improvement. This posting should be reported to Amazon, as the picture is luring people into thinking this is the current model.

I don't know since I don't have the older version. The new one is very efficient.

I was told the only difference is the size of the bezel. Newer model has a thinner bezel.

Hello there, I am not sure which is new and which is old model but certainly I am not very happy with it. It stopped working just after few weeks of moderate use. I don't consider this is a quality product!

The one I have was the 2011 version. I'm not sure about what improvements have been made but this one is still going strong.

I don't know which model is the newest one, but I have the purple model, and I love it. It's a bit different and takes a while to get used to, but once you do, you'll love it too. I love the no- stick plate and the retractable cord. The steam feature works very well too. If you decide on this model, you will not be disappointed. Hope this helps.

There doesn't appear to be any real difference. The model we ordered in July 2013 was exactly the same as the one pictured in the current catalog, only the price and seller were different.

My information indicates that a new model was released. I don't see any specific problems with this unit.
