From what I was told by Neato it's basically the color and it comes with an extra filter. Software and everything else is the same.

I have the older , yellow mighty mite and my mom has the pet lover. The power of the Pet Lover seems stronger, has a special attachment with a little beater bar that works to get animal fur off furniture which the older doesn't, and I like the extention wand because it adjusts by pressing a small button. Also has a Hepa Filter, which the other doesn't have. I like both but love the Pet Lover and will buy my own soon.

XV21 has the pet and allergy brush bar. Signature does not (unless it is the signature pro). This bar makes the NEATO a lot less noisy. I bought it separately for my signature for $40 from amazon. The difference in the noise level was big, especially on hardwoods. I don't believe there is any other difference. I LOVE my Neato!!

The comparisons I made were based on what I needed in a cleaner and the price. I chose this model because of the lift-off feature, pet cleaning equipment and because its a deep cleaner. The price was great in comparison to store and other on-line prices, and free shipping with Amazon. I'm very happy with my choice around. Hope this helps.

By purchasing the Plus model you will get the V5 filter included in the box. The plus model only costs $50 more than the non-Plus model, but purchasing the V5 filter separately will cost you $99. So I think it's a relative bargain to get the first V5 filter for only $50. The V5 filter is one of the main differentiators between the IQAir unit and lower priced Asian units from Whirlpool, Sharp and Winix, which only offer very minimal protection against odor and chemicals. The V5 filter should last at least two years, maybe longer if you don't smoke or have a lot of pets. I would not spend close to $900 on an air purifier and then eliminate one of the most valuable filters in the unit to save $50.

I received an email from Amazon, asking if I can answer this! I have no idea if there is a difference, I only have the litterworks. I purchased it over a year ago and is holding up fine! They do appear to be the same, from the photos.

virtually nothing other than color. The only exceptions: the XV-21 model comes with the "pet" brush and filter. However, many of the retailers (like Costco, that sells the XV-14) also now include the pet brush, but not filter. I am not sure there is any difference in cleaning with the pet filter or brush, having both. These units are being constantly upgraded, as I have seen having returned 2 and having the new models with slightly different improvements in design. The only other difference I would include here is that the XV-11 model (the first one available) may be older, and thus have a lot of the problems you will likely read about (old bad software, cheap parts, etc.)

There is no difference. Not sure why you are seeing it as more expensive. I'd just try to get the larger one at the lowest price you can find.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

I bought the pro myself. I wondered the same question before I bought, but decided on the pro for the simple reason I figured the pro would work more heavy duty. Mine works great and I'm happy with the purchase.

I meant to say Ultra. The difference is the hood and the ability to set the timer. I would also suggest getting the Teflon rake when you get the litter tray. You won't need it for awhile, but eventually you will need it.

Vermont American is now owned by Bosch, so they could be the same design. Perhaps Bosch uses better materials on their "name brand", I don't know. For the price difference and based on reviews, I'm going with the V.A.

I posted a similar question under the animal product review. Reply post indicates that the animal isn't worth the extra $50 over the DC25.

I have used both but to be fair this one is larger than the HEPA versions I've used in the past. That said we have allergies and mild asthma and two dogs and a cat to which we have allergies. The symptoms are not evident when the purifier is on and no asthma attacks evident. The maintenance is easier and less expensive. I am very happy.

Hi! I recently rescued a dog with skin allergies that turned into a skin infection. He was on benedryl, antibiotics, petco healthy skin vitamins, AND fish oil. I switched to purina's sensitive skin and everything got alot better but I was concerned he still had some itching and there were still troublesome ingredients. I went to a highly reputable local dog food seller and after hearing all the options and reading rave reviews chose TOTW Pacific stream. It was 40 dollars for a 33 lb bag. in less than a week my dog stopped itching, dandruff went away, and he had more energy than ever! no more vet bills, medicine, or twice daily pills! yes its a little more expensive but the Pacific Stream formula saved me and my dog from serious stress from allergies! All his fur has grown back and I get daily compliments from strangers on walks about how great his coat looks! i only have him on Pacific stream, but I know that one helps with allergies
