Bissell CrossWave Omniforce Edge

Verdict

This Bissell CrossWave Omniforce Edge is the clear outlier in this comparison: it has the shortest runtime, lacks brush drying, lay-flat reach, traction assist, headlights and solution dispensing, yet still costs a premium. The reviewer explicitly says it is the only model in the lineup he would not recommend, because there are many better machines that cost less.

  • Under-Furniture Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0
    Without a lay-flat head, it cannot reach far under low furniture, so users often need to move beds or couches to clean hidden dust.
