Bissell’s Robot Vacuum Comeback: Is the FlexClean FurForce the Sensible Choice for Pet Owners?

The robot vacuum market just got a lot more interesting. Following Dyson’s launch of the Spot+Scrub AI, Bissell has officially ended its four-year hiatus from the Robovac space. Marking their first major release since 2022’s SpinWave R5, the company has finally unveiled the FlexClean FurForce 2-in-1 Vac and Mop Robot.
Bissell FlexClean FurForce
The core promise of the Bissell FlexClean FurForce lies in its name. Bissell has equipped this model with a redesigned motor that delivers 2× stronger suction than their previous robotic models.
The specialized tangle-free brush roll ensures that long hair—from both humans and pets—is directed into the dustbin rather than wrapping around the roller, minimizing maintenance for the user.
Bagless Self-Emptying HEPA Dock
While many premium robot vacuums use disposable bags that create ongoing costs and waste, the FurForce features a bagless self-empty dock.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective: No need to buy replacement bags.
HEPA Filtration: The dock features a sealed HEPA system that traps 99.97% of dust and allergens.
Large Capacity: The dock can hold up to 8 weeks of debris before needing a manual empty.
LiDAR Navigation
Despite the industry shift toward camera-based 'AI' obstacle avoidance in flagship models, Bissell continues to utilize LiDAR navigation.
This system allows the robot to map your home with millimeter precision in total darkness. Because it does not use a front-facing camera to identify objects, it offers a higher level of data privacy for users who are uncomfortable with video-capable devices in their homes.
Beyond these features, the FlexClean FurForce utilizes a vibrating mop system and includes the auto-lifting mop technology now standard in modern flagship models.
However, the world of robotic cleaning is evolving at breakneck speed, with product cycles moving faster than ever. In the face of such relentless competition, whether Bissell’s robovac will deliver a unique surprise or simply fade into obscurity among other tech giants remains to be seen.
