What this page compares
PowerScrub Deluxe is the choice for its counter-rotating SpinScrub setup. Pet Pro Plus fits if you want a slightly lighter machine and five more feet of power cord.

Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
You like the five-brush SpinScrub design
Maintaining the five SpinScrub brushes is not the same as maintaining the BISSELL roller system. Look at how easily hair and residue come off after a job.

- Better fit

- Not suitable
You need extra reach from the outlet
The cord on Pet Pro Plus is listed at 25 feet, compared with 20 feet on the Hoover. Both have eight-foot hoses and one-gallon clean tanks, so none of those figures accounts for a capacity advantage.

Look at the whole setup
Stain removal still depends on brush design, technique, formula and carpet type. Tank capacity and brush-row count alone can't name a winner.

How we worked this out
128 US fluid ounces =1 US gallon. The capacities on record are 128 and 128 fl oz. Converting puts tank volume on one scale and says nothing about cleaning coverage.
Factor in the water before you lift
Filling the clean tank puts roughly 8.34 pounds of water weight on PowerScrub Deluxe and 8.34 pounds on ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus. Follow the manual when you move and fill them.
How we worked this out
Approximate water mass = clean capacity in US gallons ×8.34 lb/gal. Inputs 128/128 and 128/128 gallons. The real total shifts with formula concentration, leftover dirty water and tools.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe | BISSELL ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Machine type | Upright | Upright | Using a spot cleaner in place of a whole-room upright is not efficient. |
| Nominal clean tank | 128 US fl oz | 128 US fl oz | Capacity does not promise area covered. |
| Empty weight | 18.1 lb | 17.5 lb | Weight goes up with water, tools and solution. |
| Hose | 8 ft | 8 ft | Look at exactly what the bundle contains, and at any model documentation that disagrees. |
| Power cord | 20 ft | 25 ft | Usable reach depends on outlet position. |
| Cleaning system | Five counter-rotating SpinScrub brushes | 12-row dual DirtLifter brush system | A feature list cannot name a winner without a matched cleaning test. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe
- If most of your jobs are floor-only, setting up the hose and tools is extra work.
With BISSELL ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus
- After each use, you still have to pull hair and formula residue out of the nozzle and brush area.
Decision guide
How to decide
For the counter-rotating SpinScrub setup, go with PowerScrub Deluxe. For a slightly lighter machine and five more feet of power cord, go with Pet Pro Plus.
The Hoover cleans with several rotating brush assemblies
Maintaining the five SpinScrub brushes is not the same as maintaining the BISSELL roller system. Look at how easily hair and residue come off after a job.
BISSELL has the longer electrical reach
The cord on Pet Pro Plus is listed at 25 feet, compared with 20 feet on the Hoover. Both have eight-foot hoses and one-gallon clean tanks, so none of those figures accounts for a capacity advantage.
Matching tank sizes do not prove matching cleaning
Stain removal still depends on brush design, technique, formula and carpet type. Tank capacity and brush-row count alone can't name a winner.
