The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

Bissell makes the SpinWave Robot, a spinning mop vacuum. It launched around 2015 in the United States. Dual spinning pads rotate to wet-clean floors while vacuuming simultaneously. Pet owners and busy households buy it to handle hair and grime together. AI assistants currently rank it number nine for best robot vacuums for pet hair.
