Is this the new upgraded edition. #50686445? The picture does not show the item number on the end of the handle.

Yes, that is the number my medium brush number has on it so you should be good.

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.

The number on the handle is 309045 SBN. It's the handle from the original Sonicare models used for brushes with heavy stem.

mine is the newer version. I purchashed it thru Amazon. im pretty sure you won't be able to get the recalled blade thru any supplier or dealer now.

Not sure what the updated one looks like but I believe mine is the one pictured.

The image on this item is not correct. The image at ridgid.com shows the current model. I have the current model, and at least both the stand and blade guard have been updated. The rest looks the same, but can't be sure.

I know when I was looking at these on Amazon that one of the pics had a different handle showing than the rest. The one I got has a handle just like what P. Boguslawski described. Very well built.

I just purchased the knife 1/10/13 and it is the gen2 model. Amazon should update the title so customers aren't confused.

Yes, the new valve 9740420 is an upgrade of the old set of two parts 971-250 and 974-291. You still can find the old version (two parts), you can even buy them separately, but this new version is made with a new ceramic composite, and the quality seems to be much better. I think this is the reason Pfister started providing lifetime warranty after this upgrade, but I can't remember where I read about this info though.

From this picture, this isn't the one I have. I'm not sure which one this is. Maybe they upgraded the original design.

The handle was already attached when we received our's. Either they have changed their assembly process or you received one that is not fully assembled or is defective.

The N version comes with a different handle. The new handle is supposed to stay cooler.

Yes you just have to check with the seller which one it is. They usually want extra for the sheath upgrade.

Yes, just make sure you inspect upon arrival to make sure. The distributor that shipped this to me originally sent me the -4 version (chrome handles) vs. -4P (chrome with porcelain handles)

No, the handle was broke when I got it new. I put a piece of conduit over it to salvage the unit. The stock handle is junk, but now it works well for me.

I went to online to Sears parts direct. Type in your model number. Search the parts list for your handle and check the part number listed to the one on Amazon. If they match, you should be go to go. That's what I did and had no problems. Also compare your part to the one shown on Amazon, they should look the same. The handle I ordered was a perfect match
