Bissell has announced a new lineup of vacuums featuring its DualBrush technology, including both a cordless stick model, the Bissell PowerClean DualBrush, and a traditional upright, the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser DualBrush. The introduction of this technology in both cordless and upright formats suggests Bissell is targeting improved all-in-one cleaning performance across floor types.
What Is Bissell’s DualBrush Technology?
According to Bissell, the DualBrush system uses two brushrolls working together within a single cleaning head:
- A soft front brushroll designed to maintain contact with the floor and capture fine debris
- A stiffer rear brushroll intended to agitate carpet fibers and handle larger debris
This approach is designed to address a common challenge in vacuum design—balancing fine dust pickup with the ability to handle larger debris in a single pass.
Dual brushroll systems are not new to the industry, but they have been used in various configurations to improve multi-surface cleaning performance.

Bissell is also releasing an upright model that incorporates the same DualBrush concept, with a design that may appeal to users who prefer a corded vacuum. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser DualBrush includes premium grade features that may position the model as a competitor to other brands’ flagship models. Based on current product listings, these features include:
- Dual brushroll system
- Self-cleaning brushroll functionality
- HEPA sealed filtration
- Lights on the floorhead
- Lift-Off system for handheld, above floor cleaning.
The upright version brings the DualBrush system into a more traditional format, which typically emphasizes continuous power and larger dustbin capacity.
