Meet the 3 Bissell Winners From HGTV's 2026 Editors' Clean Home Awards
This brand we've recommended for years took home three HGTV awards.
BISSELL
We tested nearly 200 products for HGTV's 2026 Clean Home Awards. Dozens of items from a variety of household names and lesser-known companies earned our stamp of approval, but one brand outperformed, with three models taking home awards: Bissell.
Bissell has been designing floor-care products for more than 150 years. Headquartered in Walker, Michigan, the family-owned, American company is best known for its vacuums, carpet sweepers, mop-vac hybrids and pet-hair solutions.
The three winners from this year's Clean Home Awards are Bissell's Pet Hair Eraser DualBrush, the CrossWave HydroScrub and the PowerClean DualBrush. Find out what these cleaning appliances do, how they performed in our tests and why they stood out to our team of testers.

Our 3 Bissell Winners From HGTV's 2026 Editors' Clean Home Awards
- Best Wet/Dry Vacuum: BISSELL CrossWave HydroScrub
- Best Cordless Vacuum: BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush
- Best Vacuum for Pet Hair: BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser DualBrush
The CrossWave HydroScrub is an all-in-one vacuum that sucks up both wet and dry messes. While automatically scrubbing, lifting and washing away stuck-on food and dried spills, it maneuvers smoothly and runs notably quietly.
We like that it separates dry debris and liquids into two separate tanks, even when they're from the same spill (like cereal and milk). This hybrid vacuum is easy to use, thoughtfully designed and reasonably priced, considering everything it does.
The PowerClean DualBrush is Bissell's most advanced cordless stick vacuum. Its two brush rolls work together, so you don't have to do a second pass, while AutoAdapt Technology senses dirt and boosts suction when and where you need it.
During testing, this lightweight vacuum easily sucked up whole Cheerios on hardwood and carpet without scattering them. Though the extra suction power can be noisy, we appreciate the efficiency and quick-cleaning abilities.
The Pet Hair Eraser DualBrush is a vacuum designed specifically to suck up loose fur and dander. This upright model has two brushes and automatically adjusts its suction power when you switch between hard floors and carpet.
In our tests, it vacuumed up most whole Cheerios and crumbs in one pass. Beyond larger debris, the vacuum had no problem removing pet hair from flooring, carpet and rugs. We like how the built-in headlight allows you to see fur, dust and dirt while cleaning. It also has a special turbo brush for upholstery, which comes in handy for households with dogs and cats.
