The Cleaning Mechanics
Shark's famous Multiflex technology, which folds the vacuum when it needs to reach under-furniture areas, is exclusive to the PowerPro Flex. The PowerPro Plus does not flex.
The brushroll system is different, too:
The Shark's DuoClean Detect features a two-roller technology, recognized for achieving the best pick-up score in the industry. One soft roller for hard floors and the second is to get deep into the carpet's dirt. The DuoClean senses direction and catches debris even in reverse. It also adjusts suction on carpet, dirty spots, and along the walls.
The PowerFins is a previous-gen brushroll system.
The DuoClean PowerFins is a two-roller system.
