Dyson V15 Detect Plus vs Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus

Buy the Dyson V15 Detect Plus if you want one cordless machine for bare floors, low-pile carpet and quick handheld jobs, and you value the dust-revealing laser, the debris sensor and the LCD readout. Buy the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus if you have pets, mostly carpet and rugs, and want a corded upright with a tangle-free brush roll, a pet turbo tool and a long warranty. The Dyson is the more versatile and better-engineered tool; the Bissell is the more focused pet-hair machine and its cord means no run-time limit.

• Choose the Dyson V15 Detect Plus if you want a cordless stick that converts to a handheld, shows you dust on hard floors and adjusts suction to the mess.
• Choose the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus if pet hair on carpet and upholstery is your main problem and you would rather not worry about battery run time.
