Our Verdict

BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro

Dyson V15 Detect

The BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro and the Dyson V15 Detect each have distinct uses. The BISSELL is a corded upright vacuum/mop hybrid that does a better job dealing with stains, thanks to its detergent-spraying feature, and can be used to clear liquid spills. The Dyson is a cordless stick/handheld vacuum that does a better job cleaning debris on various surface types and in cracks, has a much stronger suction force, produces less noise, and is easier to maneuver. It also has a HEPA filter, resulting in superior air filtration performance.
