Literally 1/16 of an inch smaller bowl, but the basket is noticeably smaller by at least a 1/2 inch. (It fits inside the old basket) We use this spinner every day, and it was starting to disintegrate and was severely discolored. The new "redesigned by China" model spins smoothly and as fast as expected. Seems a bit easier to pump, and quieter - but that could just be the age of our old one.
