Why does this hyperboloid change into a surface?

Given this equation $x^2+y^2+z^2+2xy+2xz+2yz-x-y-z=6$ and the corresponding quadric:

enter image description here

If I rearrange the equation to $(x+y+z-3)(x+y+z+2)=0$ (which is equivalent), I get:

enter image description here

So, which is the right quadric to my equation? Why does it have two representations?
