BISSELL BarkBath Portable Dog Bath System vs Elevated Dog Bathtub Wash Station

These are different tools, not two versions of the same one. The BISSELL BarkBath is a powered washing and suction system that needs a BISSELL portable carpet cleaner to run; the elevated tub is a folding aluminum and PVC platform you stand a dog in. Buy the BarkBath if you want less water, less mess and dirty water pulled off the coat. Buy the tub if you want your back saved and a contained place to wash a big dog. Owners of the BarkBath praise the low water use and the visible dirty-water tank but note the setup and the dependence on a separate machine; tub owners like the height range and fold-flat storage but accept a wet dog shaking off in an open tub.

• Choose the BISSELL BarkBath if you already own a compatible BISSELL portable carpet cleaner and want a low-water, low-mess wash that pulls dirt and odor off the coat.
• Choose the elevated dog bathtub if you want a stable, height-adjustable stand that holds dogs up to 140 lbs and folds flat for storage.
