Which is better for pet hair?

The Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max. It picks up pet hair on hard floors and rugs and has a self-cleaning brush roll. The Shark handles pet hair on hard floors but not rugs.

Is the Bissell worth about $96 more?

Yes if you clean rugs or want deeper washing and self-cleaning. If you only mop hard floors daily, the Shark does that for far less.

Which is easier to use every day?

The Shark. It is lighter, stores on its charger and uses disposable pads. The Bissell is heavier and needs tank filling and emptying.

Can either clean area rugs?

Only the Bissell, and only area rugs, not wall-to-wall carpet. The Shark is limited to sealed hard floors.

Which lasts longer per charge?

The Bissell, at up to 30 minutes versus about 20 for the Shark. The Shark also takes about 3 hours to charge and its battery is not removable.

Which has better owner ratings?

The Bissell, at 4.2 out of 5 from 4,593 ratings versus 3.9 out of 5 from 2,300 for the Shark.
