Our Verdict

Shark APEX UpLight

BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro

The Shark APEX UpLight and BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro are different types of products intended for differing uses. The Shark is a more conventional corded stick/handheld vacuum. It features an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, takes up less room, has a slightly larger dirt compartment, a longer power cord, and is easier to maneuver. It also does a better job of clearing debris on various surface types. Meanwhile, the BISSELL is an upright hybrid mop vacuum with a detergent-spraying feature, allowing better stain-removal performance. It can also deal with liquid spills, unlike the Shark.
