Our Verdict

BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro

BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam

The BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam is a slight improvement on the BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro, but the latter does have its own advantages. The HydroSteam offers better stain-clearing performance, and its more powerful motor allows it to clear away debris in cracks and crevices a little more easily. However, the CrossWave Pet Pro is noticeably lighter and easier to maneuver, and it has an easier time of dealing with pet hair on carpets.
