Bissell and Dyson have been mainstays in the residential vacuum cleaner industry for many years. They are consistently ranked among the most popular brands for consumers on an annual basis. One big similarity between these companies is their commitment to cordless technology, and improving the vacuums to the point where you can clean your whole house more efficiently than a larger corded offering. The ICONPet and V8 Animal both certainly fit in that category as each has the power, battery runtime, and tools to clean all types of floors. But which stick vacuum represents the best value for the money?
We will compare them in a variety of categories to help you answer that very question. Each will have pros and cons so the answer might come down to your specific cleaning needs. Before we put them head to head against each other here are the main features as well as general information about the Bissell and Dyson. This will help set some of the context for this cordless vacuum comparison.

The Rocket Pet Pro and V8 Animal have a lot of similarities as well as a few key differences. They both come with strong suction power and several features designed specifically for homes with one or more pets. This is important since cleaning up pet hair and dander has its’ own challenges, especially for a cordless stick vacuum cleaner. One thing that became evident when comparing these two vacuums: as usual Shark and Dyson have the technology to meet this challenge.
Bissell is one of those brands that is well known in the vacuum cleaner industry, particularly the residential segment. They have a wide lineup of affordable vacuums that are effective at cleaning but not necessarily on the cutting edge of technology. That just hasn’t been their niche per se but they are starting to invest more in developing new cordless models that can compete with the likes of Dyson, Tineco, and Shark. Their ICONPet is a big step forward in terms of cord-free technology as it comes with powerful batteries that can clean your entire household. But does it compare favorably to the other top cordless brands sold today?
The Hoover PowerDrive is a full sized upright vacuum that is built for picking up pet hair in carpets. Even though it is bagless it comes with a fully sealed HEPA filtration system that traps and contains 99.9% of allergens down to 0.5 microns in size. This is especially important for homes with multiple pets as they tend to shed often and leave dander all over the floors. Not only do you need powerful suction (which we will cover below) but you also need to be able to keep whatever microscopic organisms you pick up safely inside the vacuum cleaner. Hoover has always been known for doing just that.
