is the newer model better

I think it is much better, I like the older phone itself better but like the newer features.

I'm sure that there are some differences between the two, but I have the newer version, and my best friend the original, and they are nearly identical. We can't tell the difference between them. Save the money and grab the original...

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

There are both optical and mechanical improvements in the new model. I wish I had the new one, but there isn't enough of a difference to justify the cost to me. The CPC1100 does the job I need.

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 two main buttons on top (left and right click) of the old version have a matte finish that feels very high quality, almost metallic like a media-blasted aluminum. The new ones are shiny plastic and feel MUCH cheaper. Yes they may both function the same, and are both incredibly durable (I travel with mine and drop them constantly), but I'd pay double for the old version over the new. It just FEELS so much nicer to me.

The newer is physically thinner and lacks the 4 led indicators. Otherwise I would call them the same.

I would also go with the former model. This one has less thicknesses. It is sturdier because of what it is made of, but it doesn't do everything I would want it to.

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.

No. The model we had for many years was better than this one. I think this one has really been cost reduced.

New models with slightly less power. There both in the website catalogue - for now. You can compare specs. The new model has the advantage of having fresher batteries.

Thanks for your inquiry! I do believe the model is the older style. With that said it could be the more flimsy style. Thanks and have a great day!!!

This one seems to have a more sturdy design. My old model, I went to set it down on the glass cutting board that I use underneath it, and just tapped one of the feet and it broke off. This model is larger and better made. I believe that it has been improve. I especially like the searing ability. I found the older model not to do a good job with searing the meat. As a side note the waffle plates that are out there do not fit this model.

The illustration is of an older model - it does matter. The current models are significantly improved. That aside, absolutely yes, regardless of your level of experience. Get the current version, and you may still be using then as a journeyman.Upon closer examination, I realize that these are the up-to-date models. Enjoy...

I don't know since I don't have the older version. The new one is very efficient.
