Is this any different than the California Air Tools 6310? I have been watching that unit and they look identical, identically ugly :-), but the same in terms of the specs and overall design. It's also a bit cheaper, going for $199 right now. I'm guessing they are re-branded units. Is this any different than the California Air Tools 6310?

You are probably correct. Both units are made by California Air Tools. I don't find the compressor ugly and it is quiet and pumps up quickly.

I just got mine today and the chuck looks pretty decent quality to me. It looks identical to this one on Amazon which gets good reviews: CTA Tools 1930 Straight Lock-On Air ChuckIn fact, I was shopping for a possible replacement but from the reviews, nothing is better than this one which appears to come with the Astro Pneumatic.

You know I did a lot of research before I finally purchased my Dyson and the best I've been able to determine the machine itself is the same. I've heard from others that the Animal has stiffer bristles in the motorized head but the two seemed the same to me in the store. The main difference (besides the color) appears to be what's included in the box. You get a different set of tools with the Allergy model than you do with the Animal. The Allergy comes with a soft dusting brush, matress tool and flexi crevice tool that add up to $89.97 purchased seperately. The Animal comes with a mini turbine head, low reach tool and a carpet cleaning kit with Zorb and Dysolv which add up to $145.96 purchased seperately. I think that's your difference in pricing. Hope this helps you out!

Hi Lilz, I'll be very honest with you and short - you can't compare them. I was a bit disappointed with the quality of these EcoTools bushes. I bought them for my cousin daughter as a starting set. Real technique is much better quality ale they are easily to wash and dry and much silken.

ok.. well it was the same rep apparantly.I will just open the 4104 and try it out.. If I don't like it, I will return it. thanks for your help. The thing is.. those comparisons you linked above are not the same as what is listed on the box. The tools have different names, and the "pet hair lifter' attached to the bottom of the machine is not listed on the site, but clearly states it on the box, and I played with it in the store so I know it has it.. I don't trust the comparisons.Oh well. Thanks

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!

Its not the "cheaper version" its the new version without those features. You can find Hoover models with these items, I think its called Anniversary Edition, at WalMart and its like $125. I lucked out - went to Blain's Farm & Fleet and they had an "old" box in among the new ones....lo and behold, my version is the 2008 and has the headlight and bag full indicator. So I'm a lucky guy. BUT after having these features I can tell you I would not pay an extra $50 for them.....just open the panel every once and awhile and feel to see if the bag is full, and turn on the freakin lights in your room when you vacuum so you don't need a "headlight". Its disappointing that Hoover is removing these INEXPENSIVE TO BUILD features but my guess is this model was TOO MUCH OF A VALUE and they want to incentivize people to consider the Anniversary edition or other more expensive models by making you "compromise" and "do without" your headlight and bag indicator.....

That confused me too. But look -- both products share the same dimensions and the same Item Number (101736); checking the Sauder site they show only one product that looks like that. So they are really the same. But don't think the "Storage" version is cheaper (by $40) -- note that it costs $79 more to ship.

Looks and sounds like the same product to me too. Most likely the same product sold under a different name. I chose to would go with the Zazzol, and I would strongly encourage you to do the same.

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.

Good question! The first difference is the Flair costs three times more. It looks and reads the same. I replaced an old Hoover stick which cost little so I was looking for the lower priced Hoover, I have a larger more powerful Hoover for my carpeted areas. Sorry that I cannot help more, if I was you I would ask one who bought the Flair. Maybe you did. Good luck!

yes, they are. I was thinking the same thing, I did my research and they are the same ones, just a older model from the ones in the website. its all just looks on the new ones. There isn't really a big change. I 100% recommend them. =]

I would stay away from this brand. I bought one and used it for a job less then one year and the motor broke. I took the motor off and sent it to the manufacture. They would not replace it and said it was my fault it broke???? I read the manual and did everything per there specs. We had troubles with the compressor keeping up with two finish nail guns at a time. The 18 gauge guns! We would have to wait to shoot nails. I bought a makita from home depot and the thing is great and cheaper. The makita that i bought is also just as quite and it has storage for the air blower and spair parts. Do not buy this one.

Dear Donna, I had a previous one for ten years which got lost in transit. I'm not sure if new one is same, but it looks and performs identically. Keep smiling!
