BISSELL PowerForce PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner vs Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe

Buy the BISSELL PowerForce PowerBrush if you want a light, simple upright for carpets and rugs and you have no stairs or upholstery to clean. Buy the Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe if you need to clean stairs, upholstery and car interiors as well as carpet. The BISSELL is the lighter machine at about 11 lbs and has a strong record with owners across a very large number of ratings; the Hoover weighs more but adds a hose, an upholstery tool and removable SpinScrub brushes. Neither has heated drying or a brush on/off switch, so both are basic deep cleaners rather than full-featured ones.

• Choose the BISSELL PowerForce PowerBrush if you clean mostly carpet and area rugs in a small home and want a compact machine that is easy to carry and store.
• Choose the Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe if you also need to clean stairs, upholstery or car seats and want the hose and tool built in.
