Main trade-off
Shark PowerPro Plus

Head-to-head
Shark PowerPro Plus vs PowerPro Flex: Flex bends below beds at the cost of extra weight
The short answer
Buy the standard PowerPro Plus if you rarely clean under low furniture and want the lighter machine. Buy the Flex when beds and sofas create a regular reach problem because its bending wand is worth the extra weight.

About this comparison
The same 50-minute family with a clear choice between lower weight and a wand that bends below furniture.
The practical choice turns on weight and wand, then on the constraints in your own setup.
Before you choose
How they fit your plans
Under a sofa, the floor-head gap matters as much as the bend
PowerPro Flex's MultiFLEX can lower the wand without requiring you to lower the handle as far. PowerPro Plus has a straight wand. Choose Flex if bending to reach beneath furniture is the real obstacle, but measure the floor head and the lowest crossbar first. If the head cannot enter, a folding joint will not make the job possible and neither is a confirmed fit.
Facts behind this advice
This turns the wand difference into a physical fit check. MultiFLEX changes the approach angle, while actual entry still depends on the head, opening width, crossbars and available room to turn.
An upstairs routine can outweigh a downstairs reach advantage
PowerPro Plus weighs 8.69 pounds against Flex's 9.33 pounds, a 0.64-pound difference in the listed assemblies. If you carry the vacuum upstairs daily but rarely clean under low furniture, Plus has the more relevant compromise. If the vacuum stays on one level and low reach is frequent, Flex's extra joint can be worth the added weight. Try the complete carried setup if either weight is close to your limit.
Facts behind this advice
This compares whole-vacuum carrying, not handheld weight or pushing resistance. Their shared 50-minute maximum claim does not demonstrate equal runtime during high-power carpet work.

I need to reach far under low furniture
