- Which is better for pet hair?
- The Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max. Its rotating brush roll and stronger suction pick up pet hair on hard floors and area rugs, while the Shark VACMOP is limited to light debris on sealed hard floors.
- Is the Bissell worth the extra money over the Shark?
- Yes if you have rugs, pets or larger messes. The Bissell adds 10 more minutes of runtime, a self-cleaning brush roll and two-tank washing. If you only spot-clean tile and vinyl, the Shark at $58.95 does that for far less.
- Which is lighter and easier to use daily?
- The Shark VACMOP at 3.34 lb. It is a spray mop with suction, so it is quick to grab for small spills. The Bissell is heavier and takes more setup and cleanup.
- Do both clean area rugs?
- No. The Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max cleans area rugs as well as sealed hard floors. The Shark VACMOP is for sealed hard floors only.
- Which costs more to keep running?
- The Shark needs disposable pads and 12 oz solution bottles, and buyers complain the pads are pricey. The Bissell needs formula plus occasional filter and brush-roll replacement, but its pads are reusable.
- How long does each run on a charge?
- The Shark runs up to 20 minutes and takes about 3 hours to charge, with a non-removable battery. The Bissell runs up to 30 minutes on a 36V lithium-ion battery.
