Is the Bissell PowerClean DualBrush worth it?

Only for smaller homes.

In Vacuum Wars' tests it picked up everything on carpet and hard floors and filtered well. The bin is small, it's awkward as a handheld, and full power runs out fast.

Things to know before you buy

  1. 01

    Vacuum Wars measured about 13 minutes on max.

  2. 02

    Heavy handle that's awkward as a handheld.

Vacuum Wars ranks it in its top 10 with a perfect pickup score, but the short full-power runtime, small bin and heavy handle hold it back. Good for small homes; bigger ones should look at the Shark Stratos.
