Which brand to buy
Bissell's CrossWave line started the vacuum-and-mop category, and Tineco's Floor One line made its name in it, so the floor washer is where nearly every shopper comparing them lands. The Tineco Floor One S5 at $350 used to face the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce, which is now discontinued. S5 owners love its one-pass cleanup of dried sticky messes and its dirt sensor, but describe customer service horror stories and a dirty tank that turns foul without cleaning after every use. OmniForce owners got a dry-only vacuum mode and rug-friendly cleaning that no Tineco offers, since Tinecos are hard-floor only, along with batteries failing at 6-12 months and floors left wetter. For $50 less than the S5, the Tineco Floor One Stretch S6 at $300 lies flat to clean under beds and dries floors fast, and the Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam at $280 adds steam and handles low-pile rugs but is loud and corded.
Outside floor washers, Tineco sells cordless sticks such as the Tineco Pure One S11 at $179, which owners praise for its dirt sensor and suction while noting clips that break around a year. Bissell sells corded pet uprights instead.
Get Tineco if your home is hard floors only and you want a cordless washer that reaches under furniture, or a cordless stick. Get Bissell if you have area rugs or need a carpet upright.

Model-by-model matchups
Bissell vs Tineco: common questions
Tineco Floor One S5 or Bissell CrossWave OmniForce: which should I buy?▾
Choose the Tineco Floor One S5 for hard-floor-only homes and fast one-pass cleanup. The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce suited homes with low-pile rugs or wanting a dry-only vacuum mode, since Tineco washers cannot touch carpet, but it is now discontinued; Bissell's current CrossWave HydroSteam also handles low-pile rugs.
Which smells less, a Tineco or a Bissell floor washer?▾
Neither escapes it without care. Tineco Floor One S5 owners and several Bissell CrossWave owners both report foul odors when the dirty tank and brushroll are not cleaned and dried after every use, so budget a few minutes of rinsing either way.
Does Tineco or Bissell have better customer support?▾
Tineco Floor One S5 owners describe slow warranty repairs and paying shipping for them. Bissell owner complaints center on product issues like CrossWave batteries and odor rather than support, though that is no guarantee of a smooth claim.
