What is the difference between this model (F5918-900) and the F5914-900? Is the only difference the 'solution', 'wipes' that come with this model?

I didn't get any solution wipes with it... just a small bottle of cleaning solution.... I actually wish I hadn't bought it.... if that's any help.... it doesn't clean well at all... but does suck up water.

As far as I can tell the main difference is that the 918 model has a heating mechanism for hot water, and removable scrubbers for easy cleaning of the machine. I have been told by my vaccum guy not to get the ones with heaters, as everything in the machines is plastic and the heating mechanism is just to hot for all the plastic and tends to break. I never had that problem with my old machine and it had a heater. The one i have now doesn't have a heater, I just put hot water into the tank and it works just fine. I hope this helps. I love my machine, does soooo much better than my Bissell. I have had a couple bissells and the Hoover is alot better as it sucks the watere/solution from the carpet very well, the bissell always left the carpet very wet.

virtually nothing other than color. The only exceptions: the XV-21 model comes with the "pet" brush and filter. However, many of the retailers (like Costco, that sells the XV-14) also now include the pet brush, but not filter. I am not sure there is any difference in cleaning with the pet filter or brush, having both. These units are being constantly upgraded, as I have seen having returned 2 and having the new models with slightly different improvements in design. The only other difference I would include here is that the XV-11 model (the first one available) may be older, and thus have a lot of the problems you will likely read about (old bad software, cheap parts, etc.)

I purchased the 531418 model. Both models have similar capabilities and the fittings and installation are essentially the same. The only difference that I can see is that model 531418 has filters that twist on and off and model 531411 has filters that push on. A button on the housing is pressed to release the filters when it is time to change them. It seemed to me that the push button set up on model 531411 was more complicated and therefore had more moving parts that could fail over time. I believe model 531418 is the newer model. I am not sure why this company chooses to manufacture and market two different systems that are so similar. I purchased the 531418 model.

I purchased the ES8055 in 2009 and the ES8249 in 2011. The cleaning system on the ES8249 went haywire after two years, just like the ES8055. The razors always worked fine.

I actually just purchased the 799 - haven;t received it yet. I believe the only difference is that the 799 is waterproof - so it can be used in the shower or washed off in the sink. I got it at BB&B; for $199 + tax - so the price of the 799 is comparable to the 790!

I am having the same debate for a gift. And, i agree that the only difference is the base/cleaner. I believe the 8243A is a newer model but am not 100% about that. I read that the 43A is easily cleaned by rinsing under water. I also read the 8109 does not hold as long of a charge as the 43A. If you find out anything, let me know.

Basic-H2 is their reformulated version. Kind of like a version 2 of software. I don't think it's changed much, probably more of a packaging gimmick, but still the same great Basic-H. I can't tell any difference, but maybe the grime can!

I'm in the same boat. By the description, it appears that the 914900 may have an extra hose, or maybe a longer hose for the stair tool. I'm not at all sure, you'd think they'd make it plain.Edit: I found my answer on another customer discussion. If you look further down this page, there is a discussion called Hoover F5914-900 versus Hoover F5912-900. It discloses that they are the same machine, but the F5912 has a 2 yr warranty vs 1 yr for the F5914. The F5912 may also have the powered hand tool while the other does not, while the manuals indicate this, the descriptions on each Amazon page say they both come with the powered hand tool.

I think the 58920E is a little more durable and has a slightly larger overhang on the sides. I have had no complaints with this product however.

Amy we buy all brands of wipes. Whatever's on sale. They all work great with this wipe box. It's great. We bought two, one for our son's nursery and one for diaper changes downstairs. You won't regret it.

The firmware for the 90/92 is interchangeable. If there is a difference, STATE what the difference is ! (I wasted my time with that link)

I don't know the difference, but its not a good product. I used it to clean the dash board but the duster left some small red stuff on the dash board. Now this 62447-8B is sitting in my kitchen.

To be honest I'm not sure, it's been awhile since I've used one . I bought it for my nephews that had a baby. I had one in 2005 and loved it. I thjnk it takes a few minutes though, and the heat causes the wipes to turn a yellowish brownish color but the doctor said it was okay.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe a few more bells and whistles are the only difference between 590 and 790. I think the 790 has a mopping function. Not entirely sure. As for 1.0 and 3.0, the 3.0 is the latest and greatest. Better software, more cameras, better functioning. Hope that helped

The only difference I can see is that on the Kendal BM01 there is only a dial to control the suction where as the SF01 has the dial and it tells you how much the suction is I own the SF01 and I love it! It works really well and the price is a steal with everything it comes with. I would recommend this machine to anyone who is looking into getting a microdermabrasion machine and its so easy to use. I hope this helped some what :)

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

No difference except marketing. I own the 720 (identical to the 790 but no cleaning station) and use it with shaving gel. There's nothing to tell me I shouldn't. The manual itself suggests I can wash off the shaver under the sink. The 799 MIGHT be more waterproof, but unless for some strange reason you like shaving in the shower, trust me this is all about marketing. Shame on Braun.
