Good, but previous model was better.

Phones stay on head better than competition model, but audio signal is weaker.

I had the older model but one of the handles broke on the lid.

Pros:
* Still makes good popcorn.
* Easy to clean and store.

Cons:
* Two inches in diameter less cooking area than the old model; I am finding uncooked kernels more often with the new one, though not all that many.
* The butter drizzling mechanism is not particularly effective, but it was not in the old model either.

Mehs:
* The new one has a built in cord and a switch while the old one had a detachable cord. There's nothing wrong with the new design other than it's pointless: The cord is short, so you are likely to unplug it when finished before you flip it over. And, even if not, you'll unplug between poppings for cleaning, so it adds no value.

I purchased this because I liked the "hands free" dump tray. That I'm happy with. What I noticed with this sweeper is that it wasn't picking up as well as the original Swivel Sweeper which I also own. After comparing the two side by side, what I saw was the new sweeper's bristles aren't as full as the original.
My opinion, newer version is not always better.

I bought this to replace an earlier version of this model which was broken unexpectedly.  It is not at all as well made.  It seems tinny; the door doesn't close as well; the controls and settings are not as efficient as in the previous model.

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,

Had the previous model and it lasted about 2 years.  I was somewhat rough with it tho.  This new model seems to be quieter, smarter and smoother.  I never lubed the old one, but do keep this one oiled.  Hopefully it lasts longer.

Getting older and eye sight not quite as good as it used to be, so the larger display is nice.  Very pleased with the unit and the voice command function, while not perfect, seems to be better than prior models I've used.

Much better than the larger model I gave away. This one heats up well, but still not as hot as the models from 10 years ago.  Grillilng plates are in need of redesign.  They are too narrow for some cuts of meat like flank steak.

sound quality not as good as previous model ( i have both) but i do like the retractable bud feature as the tangling on the old model was so annoying. I do like the previous ones flexibility to package down for storage in small purses. This ones a hard shell.

While a well made product the "new" veriosn does not have the features I liked from the old version. I've worn out 3 of the old ones. The new one doesn't work for me.

I have the model before this one and it finally gave out, more or less. The switch is poorly designed and the batteries do not hold the charge anymore, so that is why I purchased this new model. B&D made great strides with the design of this one. The battery inserts much easier. The on and off switch is of better quality and this one has a power boost button to push (and hold) which adds much more power to blow away more difficult material.  Great improvement over the old model and I am happy with this one so far.  Price is reasonable and cordless units are so much nicer than hassling the ones with long cords.

This purchase was the same model as one bought several years past. Unfortunately, I don't think that the quality is as good.  The cutting blades are not made of the same material.  The cutting guides previously had a metal base and were very solid.  The new ones are all plastic and not nearly as nice. The clipper doesn't seem to cut longer hair (greater than 2 inches) without a number of extra passes and certainly not with the same ease as the previous model.

Buy the model before this one, a bit more money but much better. ..

they work well, better than the new model. these are metal and the new model has a plastic coating. on the new model the weights will stick together. what's unfortunate about these is they don't work with the other accessories like the new model does (so you can't buy the kettle block handle or the straight bar and use these with them)

This new Waterpik is alright, but I think the older model that I bought this one to replace was better. The new one has more attachments but it does not seem to have as much water pressure as the older one and therefore doesn't clean as well. Also, the water tank is not as large, so it runs out of water sooner. I'm sorry if this makes me sound like Andy Rooney, but re-designing something so it can be "new" is not always an improvement. It is too bad that a product that works well has to be "improved" just for marketing purposes. I wish I could still buy the old design, but I could not find it on the market.

I had an older version of this unit, and it worked great for years. Unfortunately, when I moved the movers bent the guide rail. The fact that I bought another of the same model should say something about what I think about this mat cutter. It does what it's supposed to do, and it does it well.

That being said, there are some changes between the old and new 401s tat are worth pointing out. The thumbscrews that hold the mat bar in place are significantly larger in the new model. That makes the easier to work with, but if the mat board is extending out the back of the cutter the new screws will raise it higher, almost (but not quite) to the point where it may bend the mat board when you push the guide rail down. Also, the mat width bar is significantly shorter, about half the width of the cutter. This is somewhat offset by the fact that the new squaring tool is built into a routed slot rather than being screwed in place on the surface (i.e., it can't move), making it easier to keep the board squared.
