Our Verdict

BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine​

The BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam and Dyson V15s Detect Submarine​ are somewhat different propositions. The Dyson is essentially a conventional cordless stick vacuum that's bundled with a specialized attachment for dealing with stains; unlike the BISSELL it's unable to suck up liquids, and it lacks a detergent dispersal or steam release function to help clear away stains. As such, it comes as no surprise that the BISSELL is better-suited to the latter. However, the Dyson is simply a much better vacuum, with vastly better debris pickup performance on most surfaces and a much lighter, more maneuverable design.
