BISSELL PowerForce PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner vs BISSELL PowerForce Pet XL

Buy the PowerForce PowerBrush if you have a small home, mostly carpet and rugs, and want a light machine you can carry up stairs and store in a closet. Buy the PowerForce Pet XL if you have pets, bigger carpeted rooms, stairs or upholstery to clean, and want fewer refills plus a hose tool. The PowerBrush is the simpler, lighter machine and rates slightly higher with owners; the Pet XL cleans more per pass and reaches furniture and stairs, but it weighs about 6 pounds more and takes up more space.

• Choose the PowerForce PowerBrush if you want a compact, lightweight upright for carpet and area rugs in a small home and don't need hose attachments.
• Choose the PowerForce Pet XL if you have pets and need a wider cleaning path, larger tanks and a Tough Stain Tool for stairs, pet beds and furniture.
