Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge vs Tineco Floor One S5: Go Smart or Go Versatile?

Updated May 2025
The Tineco Floor One S5 is one of the most talked-about wet and dry vacuums on the market today, and it is often compared to Bissell CrossWave wet and dry vacuums.
The CrossWave lineup has a wide range of models, but I think the CrossWave OmniForce Edge is one of the closest competitors to Tineco Floor One S5 in features and capabilities.
Price-wise, they’re fairly close too. The Tineco Floor One S5 usually retails around US$450, while the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge comes in slightly lower at US$400. So, let’s dive into what sets them apart.
Key Takeaways
Tineco Floor One S5 is smarter with iLoop sensor, app support, and voice prompts, but it lacks suction-only mode and only supports hard floors. Meanwhile, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge has a vacuum-only mode to clean area rugs beside hard floors, though it has fewer smart features.

Design & Controls

At a glance, both vacuums share a similar structure. They’re cordless, have a slim stick design, and come with buttons on the handle, which are placed close to where your fingers naturally rest. You’ll also find a display screen on the top part of the body.
When it comes to edge cleaning, both claim to reach tight spots, but their approach is a bit different. The Tineco Floor One S5 says its brush head can clean edges as close as 0.39 inches.
Meanwhile, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge goes a step further with what they call "ZeroGap" edge cleaning, promising no gap at all between the roller and the edge. That’s a bold claim, but it suggests slightly better corner performance.

The screens they use are also different. Tineco has an LED display, which is generally brighter and easier to read than the LCD screen used in the Bissell. Both show the same basic info: battery percentage, suction or water level, and alerts like when to empty the tank or if something’s clogged.
But the Floor One S5's display has a unique extra — the iLoop dirt monitoring ring. This loop glows red when dirt is detected and turns blue when the surface is clean. It’s a small touch, but it serves as a visual aid to know when you can move on or need to focus more on a specific area.
Now onto the water tank. Both use a dual tank system to keep clean and dirty water separate, which is great. But Tineco’s tanks are noticeably bigger. It has a 720 mL dirty tank and an 800 mL clean tank.
The Bissell offers 450 mL for dirty water and 620 mL for clean. That means you’ll have to stop and empty/refill the Bissell more often, which can interrupt your flow when cleaning.
Features
Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge
Both vacuums are designed for wet and dry cleaning, and both come with a self-cleaning feature that makes maintenance easier. But there are some key differences in their cleaning modes.
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge offers three modes: Power Vac (a suction-only mode for dry messes), Power Mop (combines suction and water to clean up wet messes), and Turbo (adds extra power to either of the other modes).
This flexibility is great, especially the Power Vac mode, because you can clean dry messes without using water — something the Tineco can’t do.
Tineco Floor One S5, on the other hand, offers Auto and Max modes. Auto Mode uses its iLoop smart sensor to adjust water flow and suction depending on how dirty the floor is. Max Mode goes all in with higher power for more stubborn dirt.
Auto mode is smart and very efficient, as it's constantly analyzing dirt levels and adjusting performance on the fly. The "sensing" element is unique to Tineco and isn't something you'll find in the Bissell.

However, Tineco Floor One S5 lacks a vacuum-only mode. Unlike Bissell, there's no option to vacuum without water, which means you cannot use it on area rugs or other surfaces where you want just suction.
So if your home has a mix of floor types, like a few area rugs alongside hardwood or tile, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge offers more versatility.
However, when it comes to smart features, the Tineco Floor One S5 wins. Apart from the smart iLoop sensor, it also has app connectivity and voice prompts.
App connectivity lets you see cleaning reports and monitor performance, while voice prompts give voice alerts for things like "low battery", "auto mode activated", or "begin self-cleaning cycle".
These smart features might seem small, but trust me, they make the whole experience feel more modern and interactive.
Runtime
Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge gives up to 30 minutes of runtime per charge, with a charging time of about 4 hours.
Tineco Floor One S5 claims up to 35 minutes in Auto Mode and 28 minutes in Max Mode. That’s fairly similar, but Tineco also says it can cover up to 2,500 square feet in a single charge, which is a good reference point for larger spaces. Charging time is slightly longer, around 4 to 5 hours.

Final Thoughts
Tineco Floor One S5
Both vacuums offer great value, but it really depends on your needs. If you want flexibility and the option to vacuum without water — maybe for area rugs or quick dry pickups — then the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge makes more sense. It’s also slightly cheaper.
But if you’re focused on hard floors and want a smarter, more automated cleaning experience, the Tineco Floor One S5 edges ahead. Its iLoop sensor, app support, and voice prompts make it feel more advanced. You’ll also be stopping less often to empty or refill the tanks, thanks to the larger capacity.
In conclusion, go with the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Edge for better versatility or choose the Tineco Floor One S5 for smarter features.
