Primary Cleaning Head:
This shark IZ201UK is the most sold vacuum in its cordless lineup in The UK. Its highlighting feature is its DUO clean floor head design—designed with two different brush rollers. A soft brush roller is located at the front of the cleaning head, where the dirt and debris intake is. The second brush roller is positioned in the middle of the brush roller.
The soft brush roller does great debris-cleaning jobs on all hard flooring types without scratching sensitive surfaces or scattering debris. Also, the soft brush roller is impressively best for cleaning away fine dust from hard floors and is great for moving the larger debris to the intake from carpet surfaces.
Regarding the primary cleaning head design of the VAX Onepwr blade 4, it lacks the DUO clean floor head system. It comes with a single-brush roller positioned in the middle of the cleaning head—this design is ideal for dealing with dirt and pet hair from different carpet flooring types. But unfortunately, it is incompetent for cleaning hard surfaces because it lacks a soft brush roller.
Anti-Hair Wrap:
The Shark IZ201UK has an anti-hair wrap feature, which is specially designed to prevent hair wrap during cleaning sessions.
You’ll notice a big difference between the standard brush roller and the shark anti-hair wrap-containing brush roller. The shark anti-hair wrap brush roller design has soft silicon fins between the gap of the stiff bristles that actively prevent hair wrapped by loosening it.
The Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 Lacks the anti-hair wrap feature. So you need to clean the brush roller after completing every cleaning job to prepare it for storing or the next cleaning job.
Flexology Bend:
The shark IZ201UK cordless vacuum features flexology bend technology. So, You can bend the primary wand from its middle position, making it very helpful for reaching the narrowest under-furniture spaces.
Unfortunately, the VAX ONEPWR Blade 4 does not have this features, nor does it have any attachments to use under the furniture. So, if you want to clean the spaces under the furniture with VAX ONEPWR Blade 4, you must mostly bend your body every time.
