Our Verdict

Dirt Devil Endura Max

BISSELL PowerForce Helix

The BISSELL PowerForce Helix is better than the Dirt Devil Endura Max for most uses. The BISSELL weighs less, performs better on carpeted floors, and makes slightly less noise. On the other hand, the Dirt Devil has a bigger dustbin that won't need emptying as often and a longer overall range.
