What is the difference between the pro series and the non pro bona floor refresher?

As near as I can tell, they are the same product. I used to be able to get this at my local hardware store. Then, found it was only available to 'professional' contractors. This may stem from a problem with the product clouding if not applied correctly. That is how I ended up ordering it through Amazon. I use it in the same manner. Word of warning. If you do choose to apply a second coat, wait longer between coats. That was my downfall. Even though the label clearly states 2 hours, don't do it. Wait 4 at least. Or better still, be happy with one coat. That has worked well for me in the past. Hope this has helped. Love the Bona product. It really freshens up my old Pergo floor.

kitchenworksinc.com seems to have a very good description of parts and their compatibilities. It says that it is compatible with the DLC-7, but I don't know whether that is the same as the super pro or not.

I used Bona hardwood cleaner, Bona applicator/mop w/ spray including their microfiber pads, and LOW-gloss polish on 3 floors of a townhouse with teak parguet finished with oil and wax. Bona instructions say not for natural finish however I was desperate... floor was dirty and stained with scratches from moving furniture. The mop/applicator with spray is great and makes cleaning and waxing easy. Hardest part was masking the top of base to keep the walls clean. While the parquet was new in 1975, the house is old and floors are not perfectly flat - so a high-gloss wax finish would show every imperfection. I found the low gloss sheen perfect and exactly what I wanted. How did the floors turn out?? Twice as good as I had hoped. The Bona cleaner and wax system resurrected the finish amazingly well and I am totally satisfied... and I am an architect. Since then I had hoped to have a similar result on an old oak floor with practically no finish left, a lot of bare wood - it may have had a natural finish that had no maintenance - unfortunately Bona did nothing - I had to rent a floor sander and applied a light stain and polyurethane with the Bona mop/applicator with an excellent result. I have nothing but praise for Bona, and I have to confess that I did not watch the DVD that came with the product... maybe next job...

The ProV1 is a 3 piece ball and the Wilson is a 2 piece ball. Performance to a degree is in the 'eye of the beholder'....With the 2013 ProV1 there is no comparison for me. The ProV1 is far superior. With 2012 or earlier models it is closer in performance. I use the Wilson sometimes when it is cold outside....it is easier to compress. The Wilson doesn't check up bad but not in the same category at the ProV1. I am in my 60's and my swing speed is not what it used to be. Obviously there a huge price difference.

I think it is the same thing. Kitchen pro 11 is the one you want. I LOVE mine!

The Pro has 2 speeds and comes with Pro discs which give a more thorough microdermabrasion treatment. The Personal unit has one speed and comes with the discs for moderate (medium) exfoliation and sensitive skin types. I love the Pro because the lower speed can be used when I want the exfoliation the Personal unit gives and the higher speed when I need more exfoliation (like when the seasons change and I have more dead skin build-up). You can also use the higher speed with the sensitive discs and the lower speed with the (red) more abrasive tips. I love to use a peel like the Pumpkin Peel with a moderate PH level (before the PMD treatment) to soften up old/dry skin for amazing results when sloughing off the dead skin with the PMD unit. I also love to use a serum like the Epicuren Ultima Peptide after exfoliation because it soaks right into the skin. Use spf after using this device because you have new baby skin that needs protection from the sun.

It is not recommended, but I have used it for years and my floors still look like new. I also use the Bona floor cleaner and the floors look terrific.

The newer model is slightly larger, but weighs less than 14lbs. which is 8.3lbs. LESS It has 2 additional brushes which are specially designed to cover sealed hardwood floors and tile & grout. 360 clean: SpinScrub Technology gently washes and scrubs hard floors from all angles. Wash, scrub & dry: Switching between options is a snap. CleanBoost Control applies extra detergent to stains and heavy traffic areas. 11.5" Removable Nozzle provides a combined squeegee and suction to quickly dry. Removable for easy cleaning. It uses several different Hoover cleaning solutions, the Hoover Multi-FLOORPLUS 2x concentrated is great and you don't need much unless the floors are a high-traffic area or very dirty. There are solutions designed for use cleaning grout and another for wood floors. I like that it leaves the floor so dry that there are no steaks and so clean that you can feel the difference with your bare feet. As I said, I didn't have the previous version, all the technical information I found on different web sites and the last is my personal opinion and observation. I have other brands that called their brands (Shark, Bissell and others) that said they were cleaners or sanitizers and all they did was much around hot, dirty water. The only difference between them and mopping is that they were easier to push around, the water remained hot, and you were not bending over to wring it out. Even the ones that said they dried the floors, did not unless you went over them at least at least three times (it varied, depending on the humidity level). There is nothing worse than pulling up water that is not clean after you have used the machine at least twice. It is discouraging and disgusting. That is why I LOVE this one, it cleans using very little of the 2x solution (a small bottle is included) and then removes the water leaving you with a clean, dry floor without streaks. It is lightweight and I am nor writhing in pain when I finish.

Size/capacity and ease of cleaning. the pro is smaller, but faster and much easier to clean. The tec is larger but takes much longer and is more difficult to keep clean. Also you can only froth milk in the Tec any powder mixes clog it up whereas the pro is great fro mixing chai and hot chocolates. We use both and hands down the pro works great and is a super easy to clean. We also have a 500ml Secura Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Warmer like the tech it has a larger capacity and can only froth milk (no powders) but it is super fast. on the downside it's got electronics on the pot itself which makes cleaning a little more delicate.

Other than one has stripes and the other is solid blue, there is no difference in the cleaning ability or size of the pads. Both work efficiently on all floor surfaces. Love Bona!!!

According to the very reputible person who owns the company that installed our hardwood floors, definitely NOT. The beauty of the Bona is there is nothing in it that will change the finish of the floors. Bona is a strong enough cleaner on its own.

Yes, it does a great job on my laminated floors and my tile floors! I haven't tried the Pro so don't know what the difference is

I asked the Step360 people on Facebook once and here's what they said: "The Step360 Pro, is the professional grade version. The main difference in the two products is that the Pro version is a larger diameter. The larger diameter does allow you do do some more exercises that the smaller (gray and black top) version would not allow. The PRO (all black top) is the one that we would recommend, especially if you will be using the product in a professional setting. Trainers like having the larger diameter which allows them to do more exercises with their clients. However if you are using it in your home, you can use either one. If you are basically following the exercises on the DVD (which are some great workouts) then the regular one will work, but if you plan on adding more creative movments and more dynamic movements to your workouts then you might like the Pro version better for your home too." I also think the Pro version may have a higher weight limit (it's 500 lbs)

As far as I can tell, the differences are: The color of the housing, the packaging and the stopper (the pro has a chrome stopper)

The professional has a larger canister, wider cleaning path, hardware floor attachment and is a different color.depends on what kind of floors you have. To what you should choose.

Size is main difference - Pro Y is much larger. Also the half-moon holding the peeler blades is metal on the Pro model.

As far as I can tell it 's the rated llfe, as was mentioned before. I opted for the Pro because I didn't want to have to dig it out of the gutters in a few years and start over.
