DeWalt 20V MAX
Score: 70/100
Bissell CrossWave Edge
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Bissell CrossWave Edge 4111A is a corded wet/dry vacuum with ZeroGap edge technology, stronger suction and an antimicrobial filter for multi-surface cleaning. It lacks a carry handle and HEPA filtration, and the bagless design requires frequent tank emptying. Great for households wanting edge-to-edge cleaning on hard floors and low-pile rugs.
The DEWALT DCV517B is a 20V MAX cordless handheld wet/dry vacuum featuring HEPA filtration and dual cleanup modes, ideal for quick, portable clean-ups. Its limitations include a small 0.5-gallon tank and the need to purchase a compatible battery separately. Best suited for professionals already invested in the DEWALT 20V ecosystem who need a lightweight, high-filtration handheld vac.

Professional reviewers commend the DCV517B for its compact weight, HEPA filtration efficiency and versatile hose system, noting that it fits well into the DEWALT 20V ecosystem and comes with a solid three-year warranty. However, they caution that the half-gallon tank and lack of an included battery may limit its usefulness for longer or larger-scale jobs, and the unclear horsepower rating leaves suction performance ambiguous.
Everyday buyers generally praise the vacuum's cordless freedom, easy maintenance and lightweight feel, especially for quick clean-ups in tight spaces. The most common criticism from consumers revolves around the limited tank size and the extra cost of purchasing a compatible battery separately.
Professional reviewers, primarily a YouTube demo from HSN, emphasize the CrossWave Edge's 75 % boost in suction power, sleeker slimmer profile, and the ZeroGap™ edge-cleaning system. They commend the tangle-free brush for handling pet hair and note the self-cleaning cycle and antimicrobial filter as maintenance advantages.
Everyday users on Wayfair express overall satisfaction, highlighting the unit's ability to clean a variety of floor types in one pass and the usefulness of the included pet-specific cleaning solution. Praise centers on multi-surface performance and pet-hair handling, while the lack of reviews on other sites suggests limited exposure rather than widespread criticism.
