Our Verdict
BISSELL Featherweight Stick
BISSELL Adapt Ion Pet/XRT
The BISSELL Adapt Ion Pet/XRT and the BISSELL Featherweight Stick are upright/handheld vacuums with different advantages. The Featherweight performs better on bare floors, has a bigger dirt compartment, is easier to maintain, and feels lighter in your hand. Conversely, the better-built Adapt Ion Pet is substantially more maneuverable and versatile thanks to its cordless design and included selection of brushes and cleaning heads.
