What's the difference between this and the Professional model?

These are made of plastic and metal for household use. The professional models are all stainless steel for constant use in restaurants. I hope this answers your question.

If you are spending $439 USD for it, then it should be the Pro version, not academic. This looks like the full version to me. I say go for it!

They are generally the same. There are button placement changes and the set up seemed easier on the new model. Both have worked well for us.

It is more powerful than the less expensive model. It is professional grade like they use at a salon or spa.

I'm not sure what the difference is. I do know the Professional is very heavy duty and needs to be laid out flat in the sun for awhile to make it more pliable.

I did not give a bad review to this unit ,however many people may not like the few changes from model to model ,I had the previous professional models and this one is much better so I am happy with this one.

I assume the pro model is more robust and for frequent or even professional pod casters, but I don't really know.

Not sure about the feature differences but this model is the only one they make with a lifetime warranty. Which was what prompted me to make the purchase. Hope this helps.

Hi. I like the one I bought, but it looks like the other one has a few more features. I'd go with that one.

I am not sure what the difference is either, but they are priced the same on Hoover's website. I'm using the Pet Plus because I have dogs, but I got a small bottle of the professional with my machine, and can't tell much difference between the two. Hoover also markets a 2X Plus Professional, which claims to be twice as strong,but is cheaper. I'm agreeing with the other poster that it may just be marketing. Sorry, that's probably not much help. I would probably go with the best price, though.

I believe it's just an older model number. I haven't found anything with any difference between the two of them.

The Pro has a larger container so that you don't have to do multiple batches for the same mix of food. Other than that, they're the same. There's also one with two pro containers, in which case you can steam and process two different kinds of food simultaneously.

It is more powerful than the less expensive model. It is professional grade like they use at a salon or spa. It should last longer because it is a higher quality unit.

As far as I can tell, the differences are: The color of the housing, the packaging and the stopper (the pro has a chrome stopper)

I don't know if there is a diference between models. I have it since 2012 and works great. Sorry!!

Not a huge difference. But if you look into the details, the professional financial calculator has more keys devoted to a few extra financial calculations.
