Our Verdict

Shark WANDVAC

BISSELL Featherweight Stick

The Shark WANDVAC and the BISSELL Featherweight Stick are suited for different tasks. The Shark is better for spot cleaning, as its cordless handheld design allows you to navigate tight spaces more easily. It's also better built, more effective on carpeted surfaces, and superior when capturing fine allergens, which is a handy addition for pet owners. Meanwhile, the BISSELL is superior when cleaning large areas of bare floors, as its corded design gives you an effectively unlimited runtime. It's also even easier to maintain.
