The catch

You still clean the tank, tray and filter by hand
Side by side
BISSELL CrossWave Edge vs Pet Pro: Edge lightens the cabinet-edge job, Pet Pro offers manual spray control
Quick verdict
Edge is the pick for automatic solution delivery, access along cabinet edges and the lower published machine weight. Pet Pro is the pick if its pet-hair strainer and manual spray control fit how you clean. The 25-foot cord and suitable area-rug refreshing come with both.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Edge carries about 17% less published weight
When you carry the complete cleaner between floors, the 2-pound difference can matter. It doesn't prove that Edge takes 17% less effort to push, since balance, roller drive and floor friction are separate factors.
Where this comes from
Calculation: (11.5 − 9.5) ÷ 11.5 × 100 = 17.4%. The two inputs are published machine weights. Shipping weights are not used.

Differences you will notice
Edge carries about 17% less published weight
When you carry the complete cleaner between floors, the 2-pound difference can matter. It doesn't prove that Edge takes 17% less effort to push, since balance, roller drive and floor friction are separate factors.
How we worked this out
Calculation: (11.5 − 9.5) ÷ 11.5 × 100 = 17.4%. The two inputs are published machine weights. Shipping weights are not used.
A trigger helps only when you want that control
With Pet Pro, you decide when to add solution by holding the trigger. Edge takes that repeated action out of normal washing. If hand fatigue or repeated trigger use is your problem, automatic delivery is a concrete design difference worth weighing.
How we worked this out
What is compared here is control layout. It is neither a medical nor an ergonomic test, and it shows no quantified reduction in strain.
The pet label brings a difference in disposal
The strainer in Pet Pro helps pull hair out of collected liquid. An anti-tangle roller is a different thing, since it deals with wrapping at the floor head. In a home with long hair, check both the brush and the disposal routine.
How we worked this out
A hair strainer and tangle-resistant brush are documented for Pet Pro. Edge’s automatic spray and edge head take care of other parts of the job.

Decision guide
How to decide
Edge comes out ahead on automatic solution delivery, cabinet-edge access and the lower published machine weight. Pet Pro is the better match if its pet-hair strainer and manual spray control suit your routine. A 25-foot cord and the ability to refresh suitable area rugs are shared.
Edge carries about 17% less published weight
Carrying the whole cleaner between floors is where the 2-pound difference can count. It does not prove that Edge takes 17% less effort to push, since balance, roller drive and floor friction are separate factors. Calculation: (11.5 − 9.5) ÷ 11.5 × 100 = 17.4%. Both inputs are published machine weights and not shipping weights.
A trigger helps only when you want that control
On Pet Pro you hold the trigger to decide when solution goes down. During normal washing, Edge takes that repeated action away. When hand fatigue or repeated trigger use is your problem, automatic delivery is a concrete design difference worth weighing. The comparison is about the control layout. It is not a medical or ergonomic test and shows no quantified reduction in strain.
The pet label brings a difference in disposal
A strainer on Pet Pro separates hair from the collected liquid. An anti-tangle roller is another matter, since it deals with wrapping at the floor head. If your household has long hair, look at both the brush and the disposal routine. Pet Pro documents a hair strainer and a tangle-resistant brush, whereas Edge’s automatic spray and edge head cover other parts of the job.
