Side by side
Hoover PowerDash Pet Advanced vs BISSELL TurboClean Pet XL, Compared: Water weight is added by the 67% more clean solution TurboClean carries

How we worked this out

One fewer fill is needed for a 1.8-gallon job
TurboClean XL gets it done in two fills, PowerDash in three.
How we worked this out
Ceiling(1.8 ÷0.6)=3. Ceiling(1.8 ÷1)=2. Emptying the recovery tank is not counted.
A bigger floor tank does not come with a longer hose

How we worked this out
8 −7 =1 foot. Both published cords come to 20 feet.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Hoover PowerDash Pet Advanced | BISSELL TurboClean Pet XL | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean tank | 0.6 gallon | 1 gallon | BISSELL has room for about 67% more solution. |
| Water added at full fill | About 5 pounds | About 8.3 pounds | That additional capacity means roughly 3.3 pounds of water on top. |
| Hose length | 8 feet | 7 feet | Hoover's hand tool reaches one foot farther. |
| Power cord | 20 feet | 20 feet | Outlet reach stays the same. |
| Cleaning approach | PowerSpin brush and HeatForce | 4-row DirtLifter and 10-inch path | Base the choice on your workload and not on a comparison of brand names for agitation. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Hoover PowerDash Pet Advanced
- Each pass covers less carpet than a broad full-size upright would, because the head is compact.
With BISSELL TurboClean Pet XL
- The empty body is easy enough to handle, but a full one-gallon tank adds weight to carry.
Decision guide
How to decide
For smaller jobs where a lighter fill and an eight-foot hose help, pick Hoover PowerDash Pet Advanced. For more solution between refills, pick BISSELL TurboClean Pet XL. Its one-gallon clean tank is about 67% bigger than the 0.6-gallon tank on the Hoover, but the extra water adds weight.
Count the refills your own jobs would need
Say a session uses 1.8 gallons of solution. PowerDash then needs three 0.6-gallon fills, while TurboClean XL needs two fills of its one-gallon tank. That is a handy way to weigh the upgrade without making up a square-foot coverage claim. Either machine can still be interrupted by dirty-water emptying before the clean tank runs dry.
A filled machine can feel quite different
Filling PowerDash's 0.6-gallon tank adds about 5 pounds of water, and filling TurboClean XL's one-gallon tank adds about 8.3 pounds. That 3.3-pound gap in water comes on top of the small difference between the empty weights. If you refill downstairs and clean upstairs, it is smarter to fill at the destination than to judge portability only from the empty-weight label on the product.
Hose length cuts against the size story in part
BISSELL's 3746 lists a seven-foot hose, and the smaller Hoover lists eight feet. On stairs or a sofa, that extra foot can matter more than the capacity of the floor tank. Either way, the machine needs a stable spot while the tool is in use. Pick the XL mainly for longer floor sessions, since the name does not guarantee a bigger or better accessory kit.
What this page can’t tell you
- You can't use the refill examples to predict carpet coverage or cleaning speed.
- Estimates of filled-water weight leave out detergent and recovered liquid.
