Our Verdict

BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max

Dyson Omni-glide

The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max and the Dyson Omni-glide are differently designed vacuums with differing intended use cases, though they're both meant for cleaning bare floors. The Dyson is a uniquely designed stick vacuum with a rotating twin brushroll head. It's much lighter than the BISSELL, easier to maneuver, and makes less noise. You can also configure it as a handheld vacuum to better clean hard-to-reach areas. Conversely, the BISSELL is a cordless upright vacuum/mop with a detergent-dispersal function to help scrub away dried-on stains. It's more effective than the Dyson in sucking up debris on bare floors and has a longer battery life, not to mention a much bigger dustbin.
