How does this model compare to the "newer model" referenced above? Only difference I can see (from the pics anyway) is color.

There is no difference between this model and the newer one, just the color.

It looks exactly the same as the one I have. No structural difference at all.

I third. I may have miss-commented-"newer, older"-was in reference to my experience, but yes, the only differences between the first and the second tower I purchased were the colors.

I don't see much difference except that the nomenclature is in a different place. It was on the back cushion instead of the right vertical pole. Then again it's hard to tell from a picture if the tubing that it is made from is the same thickness etc. Regarding the color, it's pretty hard to tell from these pictures. All I can tell you is that I am very pleased with mine and if you order it and are not pleased, Amazon.com has a very good customer satisfaction policy.I use mine every day. It really looks like a piece of equiptment that costs three of four time what it sells for.

I agree with that! The only difference is the color. It's a great piece of equipment.

There is no difference between this one and the newer one except the color. This is still a great machine

I appears to be identical to the one I own. I am color blind so I only "see" light and dark. The larger pipes maybe somewhat lighter in color. Everything on this one is on the one we have.

Sorry I am color blind. Functionally it appears to be exactly like the one I have. This is a very sturdy piece of equipment. However, I am going to have to sell mine. I am just too short for any equipment like this. I have to stand on a riser. I wanted to be able to do leg lifts. I wish I had this when I was younger. I know I would have loved it. The craftsmanship is well worth the money. The one I have appears identical to this one. As I said I cannot speak to color it maybe a little lighter but maybe not.

I think the only difference to me is the color agreeing with others that also feel that way.

Hi. The difference is only the color and price. All other specifications are the same.

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

10164 is a newer version. There appears to be a slight color difference. *shrug* I bought the one that was cheaper and it does the job.

I've read from other posts that the main difference is longer battery life. I've not used mine long enough to verify that.

Hello there, I am not sure which is new and which is old model but certainly I am not very happy with it. It stopped working just after few weeks of moderate use. I don't consider this is a quality product!

It looks the same to me except I have the black version. The burgundy one was not available when I bought mine, so it also might be a newer model.

This guy gives a great comparison. There are some minor but important differences that may matter to you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkgR_307OEo

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.

I ended up buying both, first the newer model (heavy duty) because they were the same price as last year's model. I needed more of them and noticed that they had reduced the price on last year's model so I bought those. They look a little different but the quality is the same. The only difference I notice is the look which you can see from the pictures.

Will, I bought mine earlier this year, and mine was blue. I had previously used a friend's (green) for evaluation purposes in my purchase of an up-grade machine, and I can't tell any difference between his and mine. BTW, I am very happy with this machine.

I was wondering the exact same thing! I can't even confirm a purchase because of the color, I think they used to be blue and the new versions are black and grey on the site. But is Beach Camera (which is says they're shipping from) carrying an older model or this new color? :/

The main difference between the two is the bluetooth. They use the lastest bluetooth compared to the previous model.

Those things are noted by Amazon not us, both models are the same except for the color difference.

If it is the same model that I am thinking it is, color would be the only difference. Check model number and specs. closely I do not not recall a black model when I ordered mine. Check the specs. real good.
