I'm in the same boat. By the description, it appears that the 914900 may have an extra hose, or maybe a longer hose for the stair tool. I'm not at all sure, you'd think they'd make it plain.Edit: I found my answer on another customer discussion. If you look further down this page, there is a discussion called Hoover F5914-900 versus Hoover F5912-900. It discloses that they are the same machine, but the F5912 has a 2 yr warranty vs 1 yr for the F5914. The F5912 may also have the powered hand tool while the other does not, while the manuals indicate this, the descriptions on each Amazon page say they both come with the powered hand tool.

If you read carefully you will find that the F5914-900 is 2" wider than the F5912-900.

is there a price difference? I don't know the difference, perhaps contact the manufacturer.

There may be some specs differences, but from a user point of view, practically speaking, they are very similar. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I am very happy with the 837409 and didn't compare it with 837450.

I doubt there is any difference. I bought this one and really like it. Would reccommend.

A friend of mine who was in the repair business told me that the higher the number the newer the product. That doesn't mean it's better. I don't know which one is better. You need to compare them and decide which is better for you.

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

My understanding is that the 4210 is the same basic unit as the 4212. Where the difference lies is in which interchangeable templates are supplied with the unit. The 4210 comes with only the half blind template, the 4212 with half blind and through templates and the 4214? With half blind, through and mini through templates. Obviously relevant router bits and router inserts are supplied for each template as well.I'd note that it is cheaper to simply buy the unit which contains the templates that you require as opposed to buying them afterwards. In my case I was forced into the latter due to the fact that Amazon would only ship the 4212 but not the higher model to my location.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

I don't know but at a quick glance the specs seem to be the same. In the past when I've seen small differences in product numbers like this it was because one was made to sell in a particular big box store. There may or may not be a difference in the product. A big box store that offers a price match may or may not recognize the two models as being the same for price match purposes.

I don't know what the difference is between the two numbers. Have you tried to "Google" it using each number? Wish that I could be more helpful.

Lorraine, I do not think that there is a whole lot of difference between the two models. I own the variable speed version and I happen to use it at the upper end of the speed scale most of the time. About the only time I've really needed to slow it down was when I was sanding some non kiln dried pine and found that the higher speads heated up the wood and the sap began to run (a lot). At the lower speads I was better able to sand the pine without having as much sap run and therefore clog the dandpaper. If you don't want to pay the premium for the variable, I'm pretty sure in day to day use you really won't see the difference. However, my opinion comes from a hobbyist woodworker.

I've used both and they both work great. I can't really tell the difference between them.

not sure i understand why the 920 blows away the 370. Why are they about the same price on amazon? besides the maps each supports are there any other key differences? I want to know which is more user friendly and which maps are more accurate. I'm moving to Europe (Switzerland) and want to know which would be best for what I'm buying it for (getting from point A to B with as little stress as possible.)

I know this is much later than the original post, but in case anyone else is wondering the same I thought I'd answer it. I tried both, and ended up sticking with the ES8249S. However, there is not much of a difference at all. They have the same volume when shaving, they have the same comfort level, same close shave, the cleaner unit is the same, the display on the razor is the same.... The only difference is the 4th blade. I do think because of that the 8249S is just a bit quicker to shave my whole face, but it was not much of a difference at all. They were priced the same after Christmas due to steep Amazon price cuts and a 20 dollar rebate, so I got a great deal on the 8249S, otherwise I'd be perfectly fine with the ES8109S for a cheaper price.

How would someone know how to compare 2 different models. A person would have to own both to give you an actual answer here... I can tell you that I was disappointed with the product. It was heavy and awkward. I returned it
