An additional plus is the larger dust cup capacity which is ideal for pet owners who are constantly vacuuming pet hair and hate having to constantly empty the dust cup holder.

This is the more modern model and has the latest features. Additionally as compensation for not having the liftaway model you get a longer vacuuming hose.
