What is the difference between this model and the 04383 model? I see a price difference through the manufacturer's website no different specs.

This one has a carbon filter that sits in front of the HEPA filter to catch pet dander. It catches a lot but doesn't last long

They looked the same to me too. You might have to contact Hamilton Beach to find out.

This model has the pair of activated charcoal filters that are fastened on top of the HEPA filter to deal with odors. There is a screen-style prefilter attached to the input vent that is supposed to catch the big stuff like actual hairs. Both this screen prefilter and the HEPA filter can be vacuumed; the pair of charcoal filters are disposable. If you don't want to use the charcoal filters, you can remove them and the purifier will work just fine using the prefilter and HEPA filter only.

First difference on who is going to fulfill the order. More expensive one is fulfilled by amazon the other is not. Second im willing to bet the model number diference is a direct reference to year models. Every year they change and tweak little things or sometimes major. Google the 2 numbers seperatly and you should get an answer. Anything else feel free to ask.

I have the larger model. All I can say is that the Amazon website had accurate specs for my model and the specs for the 3.3 size are on the website as well.

Hi Dan,There is no difference in the end product. Sometimes you will see a different part number because of how it is packed, how many are packed at one time, packaging styles, etc. In this case you are getting the same product regardless if you purchase 40146 or 40148.

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

The Amazon listing shows "Model: SWM16R0-03. The unit I received from Amazon in October was a SWM16R1-03. FWIW, there is no functional difference.

I owned a 3800 until it died, and then I bought a 3880. Difference is the 3880 uses different inks claiming to be better. I can tell no difference in the prints, however. If you use paper/printer profiles in Photoshop, though, note they are different.

I asked the same question and was told there the same units, the difference was the manuals. The one approved has more warnings in the manual. To be sure download each manual and compare the difference.

Im not sure what the difference is . I have the newest one and it works great. The only problem i had was reading the instructions, they ar written in broken English and don't make much sense. If you buy one and need help learning how to use it you can email me about it. Landrithjames54@gmail.com

Sorry, I do not know the difference. If you do a chat with a tech on Amazon or call them they will tell you. They are very helpful.

I researched both before I purchased mine and determined that there wasn't a significant difference. I'm currently happy with this (but I guess I wouldn't know if something large enough to be damaging has occurred since I installed it). The specs and ratings looked functionally similar, however the more expensive one has a lifetime limited vs 10 year warranty and the $25k equipment coverage.

The only differences I can see is the FM246 is a close out but had 4 channels. The FM413 is current and has only three channels.

I don't know the difference. All I can say is that the one I bought has been working fine for nearly 3 months now.

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

I'm not familliar with the v4880. Sorry. I agree with Kathy. I have a friend who's had lesser models and she prefers the 3880, too.

Not sure about the feature differences but this model is the only one they make with a lifetime warranty. Which was what prompted me to make the purchase. Hope this helps.
