Wins overall by 1.1 points
Quick Verdict
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine takes this by a clear 1.1 points. A great dry vacuum with a mop head bolted on — and no self-clean cycle at all. The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) only makes sense if it wins on a category you care about more than the total.
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) and Dyson V15s Detect Submarine are both closely matched cordless Vacuum models, and the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) is $549 cheaper than the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine ($329.99 vs $879). On Filtration & Sealing, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads (9.5 vs 4.0/10) — whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. On Battery System, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads (8.5 vs 4.0/10) — removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. On Suction Power, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads (9.5 vs 5.5/10) — actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. Overall, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine scores 7.0/10 across our 8 scoring categories versus 5.9/10 for the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F). Below, we break down the full spec sheet, category-by-category scores, and exactly who should buy which one.
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) | Dyson V15s Detect Submarine |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $329.99 | $879.00 |
| Release Year | 2024 | 2023 |
| Machine Type | Cordless wet-dry hard-floor washer with a separate dry-vacuum mode | Dry cordless stick vacuum with a swappable wet roller head — not a dedicated floor washer |
| Suction (as published) | Not published by the manufacturer. Bissell quotes '75% more suction than CrossWave X7' and a 25 V battery — a relative claim and an input voltage, neither of which is a suction figure | 240 air watts. Dyson publishes air watts rather than Pa or motor watts |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 30 | 60✓ |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | Not published by the manufacturer | Not published by the manufacturer — Dyson quotes only 'up to 60 minutes' |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | Bissell publishes a single 30-minute figure and states only that it 'varies by mode and usage'. There is no separate figure for Power Vac or Power Mop | The 60-minute figure is Eco with a non-powered tool. Dyson publishes no Boost figure and no wet-mode figure, and the Submarine head has its own motor that drains the pack faster than the dry heads |
| Removable Battery | Not published by the manufacturer — Bissell lists a 25 V rechargeable pack with a 4-hour charge but does not describe it as user-removable | Yes — tool-free click-in battery. A second battery is sold separately and is not in the box |
| Spare Battery | Not published by the manufacturer | $99.99 for the genuine Dyson click-in pack |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Charging dock and storage tray included | Wall-mounted docking station included (drilling required), plus a drip tray for the wet head. No auto-empty, no self-clean dock |
| Filtration | Bissell publishes no filtration rating for this model and makes no HEPA claim | Whole-machine sealed filtration; 99.99% at 0.3 micron claimed in Boost mode |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | 620 ml clean water tank and 450 ml dirty water tank, plus a separate Easy Empty dirt bin for dry mode | 0.77 L dust bin; the Submarine head carries 0.3 L clean water and 0.36 L dirty water |
| Weight (lbs) | 10.6 | 8.3✓ |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | The one-touch self-clean flushes the brush roll with tank water — Bissell does not claim it is heated, and there is no hot-air drying, so the roller is stored damp. Two 8 oz Bissell formulas are in the box and the machine is built around Bissell's own formulas. Replacement brush rolls and filters are stocked by Bissell | There is no self-clean cycle. The Submarine roller and both water tanks are rinsed by hand after every wet use. Replacement wet rollers are sold as Dyson spares |
| Warranty | 24 months | 24 months |
| Colors | Black/Titanium | Yellow/Nickel |
Category Scores
Suction Power
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads clearly here, 9.5 against 5.5 — a 4.0-point margin on actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. If that is what you are buying for, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Sustained Runtime
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) leads clearly here, 5.0 against 3.5 — a 1.5-point margin on how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine does not close the gap elsewhere.
Filtration & Sealing
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads clearly here, 9.5 against 4.0 — a 5.5-point margin on whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. If that is what you are buying for, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Handling & Ergonomics
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) leads clearly here, 7.5 against 5.5 — a 2.0-point margin on weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine does not close the gap elsewhere.
Maintenance & Emptying
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) leads clearly here, 5.5 against 5.0 — a 0.5-point margin on bin or tank emptying, whether your hand ends up near the dust, self-clean quality and the ongoing cost of filters, bags and detergent. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine does not close the gap elsewhere.
Battery System
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads clearly here, 8.5 against 4.0 — a 4.5-point margin on removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. If that is what you are buying for, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Versatility
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine leads clearly here, 9.0 against 8.0 — a 1.0-point margin on handheld conversion, above-floor tools, carpet capability and wet-mopping ability. If that is what you are buying for, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Value
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F) leads clearly here, 7.5 against 5.5 — a 2.0-point margin on what you actually get for the street price once consumables and missing accessories are counted. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine does not close the gap elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge (3930F)
Pros
- +A genuine dry-vacuum mode with its own dirt bin — most washers make you wet-mop dry crumbs
- +ZeroGap edge cleaning takes the head right up to a baseboard, which the Tineco only manages to about a centimetre
- +Two-tank design keeps dirty water off the floor and both tanks pull straight out on a lever
- +The cheapest way into a cordless wet-dry washer from a major brand
Cons
- −The self-clean flushes with cold tank water and there is no hot-air drying, so the roller sits damp — exactly the smell problem Tineco and Roborock spent money solving
- −30 minutes of runtime with no breakdown by mode, and heavy wet work will not reach it
- −Bissell publishes no suction figure and no filtration rating whatsoever for this machine
- −Built around Bissell's own formulas, and the two 8 oz sample bottles run out within a few tanks
Dyson V15s Detect Submarine
Pros
- +One machine covers deep dry vacuuming and wet mopping, so you are not storing two appliances
- +The wet roller is genuinely effective on dried-on stains, and the two-tank design keeps dirty water off the floor
- +Identical 240 air watts and sealed filtration to the standard V15 Detect — the dry half is not compromised
- +Cheapest spare battery of any flagship here at $99.99
Cons
- −The Submarine head is a poor vacuum: it does not pick up dry debris or large spills well, so you must vacuum first and then mop
- −No self-clean cycle at all — the roller and both tanks get washed by hand every time, which is exactly what a Tineco or Roborock does for you
- −Trigger-hold operation, and 1.5 lb heavier than the standard V15 Detect
- −$1,049.99 list, and the Submarine head fits no other Dyson and cannot be bought as an add-on
