Our Verdict
BISSELL Adapt Ion Pet/XRT
Dyson V8
The Dyson V8 is better overall than the BISSELL Adapt Ion Pet/XRT. While the BISSELL is more lightweight and maneuverable, the Dyson has a bigger dirt compartment, longer battery life with a shorter recharge time, performs better on all surface types, and comes with more tools and accessories.
