Our Verdict

BISSELL Adapt Ion Pet/XRT

Shark WANDVAC System [WS620, WS632, WS642]

The Shark WANDVAC System is a better vacuum for most uses than the BISSELL Adapt Ion Pet/XRT. The Shark does a much better job of clearing debris from all surface types and comes with more tools and brushes. On the other hand, the BISSELL picks up marginally more pet hair from carpets and has a more spacious dirt compartment.
