The FurForce is Bissell’s first new robot vacuum since the SpinWave R5 in 2022. Bissell markets the NeverTangle brush roll and liftable mop pad toward pet-owning households on mixed flooring, and the unit connects to the BISSELL Connect App for remote scheduling. The manufacturer states suction is twice as strong at the motor as the Shark Matrix RV2610WA, with up to 30% more pet hair pickup; independent suction or runtime testing has not been published.
