Ordered expecting cup 2 b same as previous. Surprisingly the cup has unnecessarry hardware inside. The (Christmas) previous model was simple easy to clean . The new addition of springs that are more difficult to clean,reminiscent of child sippy cups of 25 yrs a bit of annoying process to drink out of it is a 2 step procedure . However it doesn't spill....if you close it . Coffee It stays hot for hrs . Kind of dissapointed ,w the overimprovement of an already perfect cup.

Much thinner and lighter than the last model, but the reduced size also came with the downside of reduced size of buttons. The buttons now are smaller and less responsive, making it harder to do calculations accurately when u press the numbers at a slighter faster speed (u may miss the button or press the adjacent button). But overall this is a really good product.

I'm very happy with the new design to the Microsoft ergo keyboard. It's lighter and more portable than the previous model and is not as prone to dirt and gunk falling between the keys as their prior model. The slit in the center is nice for draping a headphone cable or even better as a spot to grip it when you pick it up to wipe the desktop.

There are a couple flaws though. The battery on the detached numpad will drain quickly if not in close proximity to the main keyboard. Additionally, I had an odd failure of the first keyboard I purchased where certain keys stopped working properly and it wasn't fixed by replacing the batteries. I do take it to and from work everyday, so on the replacement keyboard I've gotten in the habit of keeping it in the manufacturer's box before placing it in my backpack.

I bought this to replace the previous model because the battery seemed to loosing power early. This looses power ever earlier and is heavier. Does not use the same filter as the previous model, so if you have many filters, like I do, it is a loosing investment.
If you have the earlier model, like I do, do not purchase this. If you don't one one, this is a fine solid product.

We installed a Franke Little Butler on our bar sink in 2002 when we built the house and it finally gave up the ghost: it would no longer turn off.  So I ordered this one on Amazon.  There were several minor differences in appearance between the old and the new one, in particular the new one lacked the red and blue dots on the handles to indicate hot and cold.  The biggest difference, however, was performance.  The new one just feels sloppier and less precise, and the cold side won't stay 'on' by itself.  I've taken to weighting it down with a book if I need to fill a pitcher.  I don't know if they redesigned it, or outsourced the manufacture or what, but I'm much less happy with it than the original..

EDIT 4/14:  It turns out that the collar around the 'cold' lever needed tightening.  Now it is working fine.  upgraded my rating from 2 to 4.

Seems to work but not as good as the model I usually buy.

This new model is light, but I have found weighting down the front on the new model makes the suction work better. Overall a nice floor cleaner though.

This is the second unit I've owned. The first still works after five years, but the switch/control knob wouldn't stay in the high mode; I would have to hold it in place while using the vacuum/blower-- when it worked at all. I tried to get it serviced in the Kansas City area and couldn't find a dealer who would touch it. Nor could I find a replacement switch online.

Having said that, the new model is better than the old one. It is quite a bit more powerful, has a neat feature for retaining the power cord and a better bag design.  The only negative remark I have is that it does clog a bit more often with sycamore leaves. Picking up small sticks or branches will sometimes cause a clog as well if they get stuck sideways in the vacuum tube.  A caveat-- if you're vacuuming leaves where there is loose gravel, it's a good idea to hold the tube above ground level so that you only pick up leaves and not the gravel...

Because the blower/vac is a bit heavy, I tend to blow the leaves into a pile or windrow and then switch to the vacuum mode. That saves having to drag an increasingly heavy bag around.  The resulting shredded material is of a good size for mulching garden beds or adding to the compost pile.

I had purchase the floor mate when it came out a few years ago and loved it. Unfortunately wore it out. I like things clean! The new Deluxe Cleaner has some changes I realizes should be improved, but in my opinion it just is not as good as last years model. It is nice, cleans better than an old fashion mop, but just is not quiet there yet,

Pretty good haven't made my mind up if I like the old model better

I bought this unit to replace the exact same model (that had given up the ghost after many years of service). This new unit had more of a greenish tint to it than the older model (even though they were both described as "brushed nickel"); this is the only reason I rated it as a 4 and not a 5. The new unit, when set to max, picks up objects about 25 feet out, which met my expectations. I re-purposed the square top from the old unit to create an "umbrella" to place over the new unit's motion center. One of the complaints other people had was that the sensor could get covered by snow in colder climates, and obscure the motion sensor. Another reason to place the "umbrella" over the sensor is to protect it from direct UV exposure (the lens is a cheap clear plastic, not glass), while still permitting sufficient light/movement sensitivity for the motion detector to work. I bought the same model and am glad to recommend this again, even with the color being less nickel and more green.

I bought a first generation Swivel Sweeper and love love loved it.  Finally used it to death after about two years.  Bought another identical model, but it wasn't the same somehow.  I had a lot of the problems with the second one that have been brought up in the critical reviews, but Swivel Sweepers are at least as good, if not better, for similar or lower price from the competition. I used a Shark that I hated, so I think the Swivel Sweeper is at least better than that, and less money.  When read that the G2 may be an improvement on what I've had, I got one.  My problem was that first Swivel Sweeper was so good that it made the second one look bad, but it works okay. I thought that the G2 would be a return to form.  It's not.  I finally found some original first generation models and ordered them (through Amazon, of course).  I'm afraid that with subsequent models the company took a good thing and totally wrecked it with each "improvement".  Glad to get some "oldies but goodies" back.

Fan does a good job, and is relatively light. However, I bought its predecessor model in back in 2012. It was lighter and more powerful. I don't understand why a newer version should be inferior. Why spend extra money putting a new design into the manufacturing process when the model that already exists is superior?

First, I want to start by saying that I LOVE my HooverFloorMate. I owned the previous model and when the motor burned out, opted for the Deluxe model. While the cleaning power of this machine is impressive (I'm always in awe of how dirty the water is when I have to empty the canister), this model is not perfect. A few things I don't love about the Deluxe model:
1. The cord is shorter (WHY oh WHY?!) by about 6 feet. That is a lot of feet to be shorter by. Since my hallway does not have a single outlet, this is very annoying. If anything, people love long cords, so why they shortened it for this model is beyond me.
2. The handle does not fold down like in previous models. This wasn't a deal breaker for me, but annoying since I have shelves in my utility closet and could do without the extra space this takes up.
3. This leaks much more than the previous model I had. This is very annoying, since my bedroom tiles are different in height from my hallway tiles there is a small wood piece to cover where they come together. This machine goes over the wood piece but does not suck up the water left behind because it's not level. It will also leak while it's in its upright position, so when I store it, I do so making sure it's on top of a rag.
4. Brush head is a shorter width than previous model. Like the cord issue, I thought this would be something they wouldn't change (you cover more), but again, not a deal breaker. Annoying that I can't use my brush head from my other model, though.
5. Not really a complaint, just a beware - this does NOT use the same filter as the older models. Amazon sold me a package of the machine, cleaner and filter, and when it arrived I found that the filter they packaged was obsolete. This model has a sponge like filter that can be easily rinsed when you're cleaning out the canisters.

Noise wasn't too much of an issue. It IS a noisy machine, but not as noisy as previous  models.
