This Rotator model has some new design features that are different from the Pro version.
One of the biggest difference is that the motorized nozzle on the Powered model can be attached to the wand when using the lift away pod mode. And because of its low profile, it is able to get under beds, coffee tables, couches, etc. This is something that the Pro model cannot do.
