Comes almost assembled with just a few things to pop together. Also comes with the stand which is not mentioned anywhere ( see the battery powered version to see what the stand is like ). All in all seem very well made.
The liquid containers are pretty small so honestly I would not advise it for hoovering carpets, but it is just fine for cleaning hard floors. It doesn’t use a lot of cleaning fluid in one pass so don’t expect to get your floors pristine in one go, it takes a few attempts at first to get them shining. Having said that, the floors looked great after just one pass. I suppose it could be supplemented with an old spray bottle filled with cleaner for spot application if you need that extra oomph.
I love the way it hoovers up the odd bits on the floor while you are washing it! A mop won’t do that.
The dirty water collector needs to be pulled apart and cleaned each time, but that’s no big deal. I managed to do the entire house with one charge of cleaner and one emptying of the dirty water tank.
It also happily sucks up pet hair, thankfully.
It’s not very loud but it is fairly high pitched which makes its sound reasonably uncomfortable.
I tried it on a fairly rough slate floor too, and it worked great.
A traditional mop is far better for dealing with a really dirty floor. Come to think of it a standard hoover is better at vacuuming too….and a dedicated carpet cleaner is better at cleaning carpets as well. I guess at the end of the day this is for daily cleaning, not for when you have a disaster or need to really do a spring clean.

Anyway, I have no problem recommending one. They are great.

As with all non slip lino type plastic our large kitchen floor was a blighter to keep clean, not helped by our small dog’s dirty feet. The floor installer advised us not to use a steam cleaner as it could damage the surface. The only way to keep it looking smart was by scrubbing the floor once a week on hands and knees. A tedious job. We have found the new Bissell Crosswave easy to use and it does a brilliant job of cleaning the floor without hard work. I can fully recommend it.

We got this cleaner because although our stone flooring looked clean it weren’t sure how clean it really was. We Hoover every week and run a vax steam cleaner over it every fortnight.

The cleaner comes almost fully assembled, you only need to click the handle in. No tools required for assembly.

Upon first clean we were firstly amazed at how dirty the water collected was and secondly shocked that we had been living with such dirty floors for so long.

We’ve only used it once but plan on cleaning every week until the collected water begins being less filthy.

Overall I’m super impressed at how well this cleans and would recommend it to anyone with hard flooring.

I have a large open plan kitchen living room and dogs. Used to take me hours to brush or hoover then mop change the water. This does the job in half an hour. I was concerned about the small water reservoirs but I don’t fill it anymore often than my 8 yr old vax cleaner and the light weight and maneuverability make it worth while alone. Very happy. Purchased yesterday!

very heavy and doesnt remove every piece of dirt that the dog brings i

I purchesed one in August ’20. Only to stop worling after less then two months. It was ny 2nd crosswave and i was very satisfied with 1st one. Amazon told me to contact manufacturer, which i did and they made it impossible, with excuses they are unable to give me a bl**dy date by when it would be fixed or replaced. I called Amazon and told them the excuses I have heard. Only for Amazon to step in and replace my item which was a nice surprise since it was pass 28day rule if exchange and replace. The replacement product is working great and I’m only giving 4stars due to Amazon incredible service as Bissell as company deserve not even one after the way I was treated.

Apart from not being as lightweight as suggested this is s truly awesome cleaner.
We brought this as a back up to our Bissel carpet shampoo and deep cleaner. But it has far exceeded what was expected and has proven itself to be a good spot cleaner and better than our steam cleaner.
I should explain. We have a cat with IBD/Colitis which means regularly we have diarrhea that needs cleaning up. So we wipe what we can up then spray with Bissel Pre Treatment and crosswave the area after ten minutes. So far 100% clear up with no staining of the light coloured carpet.
In the kitchen and on the laminate flooring it appears to perform better than the steam cleaner and removes the need to sweep or vacuum the flood before washing.
As said before it has so far exceeded all expectations. But be warned you’ll find yourself extra brushes and filters for this quite quickly.

Used for the first time today and I can honestly say it’s done wonders to my living room carpet and kitchen floor. It took out a coffee stain and general grubbiness from the carpet. In the kitchen where it is an old floor and in honesty never looks sparkling made it look ten times better. I think given regular use it will bring it back to shiny. The smell of the detergent is fresh and appealing. I highly recommend this product.

As you see I have both the Karcher hard floor cleaner and the Bissell Crosswave and this afternoon after taking delivery of the Bissell I am gifting the Karcher to my son! The Crosswave is fabulous! It is loud, like my corded shark if you are familiar with that noise, but my heavens it is brilliant. It does what it says on the tin, I have high white gloss floor and with a new puppy it was mucky to put it lightly. There is not a mark or streak on my floor, unlike the Karcher where I had to go over the same spot a few times if it was sticky or mucky, one pass with this and it is gone. It does vacuum as it states, including dog hair and human hair which the Karcher left behind. It leaves the floors much drier too and my gloss floor was dry in about 1 min, lino 4 mins and kitchen laminate about1 min, The only negative thing though, it doesn’t get right to the skirting boards – the cleaning brush stops about 1cm from the edges. It was easily emptied and the filters etc easily cleaned and rinsed and I cleaned the brushes in the holding base which cleans the brushes automatically when you pour water into the base and turn it on. I am delighted. I also used it on my very short pile hallway carpet (which is not a rug but I tried it anyway), it didn’t look dirty but it was obviously worse than I thought! I didn’t need this Crosswave to be honest but now I have it, bye bye Karcher!

Edited 2 weeks after purchase: I originally saw an advert for the Vax power one and as I love a cleaning gadget I started looking into it and then came across the Bissell Crosswave. I opted for the bissell for 3 reasons – firstly I already have a Bissell carpet cleaner and love it, secondly the Bissell has the option to change from hard floors to rugs and thirdly it plugs in rather than being rechargeable and as I have a fairly big house with hard floors throughout downstairs I didn’t want to have to keep recharging to complete my cleaning.
The Crosswave looks good and is very easy to put together and then disassemble for cleaning. It cleans brilliantly! I have 4 kids and 2 dogs and like to think I am pretty clean. My floors get vacuumed at least 5 times a week and washed 2-3 times a week alternating between mop and bucket with hospital strength anti bac floor cleaner and the Shark steam mop with steamer detergent added to the tank. I have both tile and wooden floors and I don’t think they ever look dirty. This showed me otherwise!!
I used it for the first time having washed the floor the previous day with my steam mop. The water was mud brown!! I have used it again the following day and the picture attached is the water from today’s clean. I am shocked at how dirty it is. My floor definitely feels cleaner.
The clean water tank is a good size and I can go over my kitchen floor twice on one tank. The cord is a good length.
On the negative, this is quite heavy to use and so wouldn’t suit anyone who struggles with grip or heavy vacuum cleaners. It is also very noisy. You wouldn’t want to use it if you had kids in bed sleeping!
Overall though I love this!
Edit: 3rd picture shows the difference in the floor after 2 weeks of use, used 3 times a week. It’s the bit round the edges the cleaner can’t get to! Yuck!! Been on hands and knees today steaming and scrubbing to get the edges clea

We have had this product for a few weeks now and I am seriously impressed. We have a long haired cat who is a little ball of fluff and you wouldn’t believe the amount of hair we have to empty. We brought this over the VAX and I’m so glad we did. You do have to refill the water/solutio mix and empty the dirty water but it takes two seconds. I would also say that it’s more of a weekly clean thing so we use a flash mop if the floors need a mid week touch up. The hoover function is really powerful and it’s great that you can do rugs/carpets aswell. Really happy with this purchase and that rarely happens for me with online shopping these days!

I love this floor cleaner. Works well on hard floors but also works really well on rugs. Love that it vacuums up small items at same time as washing floor. I bought an extra brush head to ensure floors were getting best clean possible. Still have to go round edges of floor where cleaner doesn’t reach but would expect this with any machine. Easy to fill and empty. Only gripe is that I find removing/replacing brush cover quite tricky but that could be just me!

Honestly, I like this piece of equipment
I have hard floors downstairs, and this vacuums and washes at the same time.

Pros:-
– leaves good results
– very easy to clean the equipment

Cons:-
– noisy
– forget about edges

I bought this because I have back & hip issues. Specifically for my slate floor in the kitchen that is slightly uneven which makes hard work with a traditional mop & bucket. & I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t do it as often as I’d liked. With a bulldog puppy running in & out from the garden it became quickly apparent I needed help. The 1st time I used the Crosswave I was amazed. Easy to set up , easy to use, common sense cleaning

I bought this cleaner because it sucks up food and cleans the area. I love to cook, inevitability food will fall on the floor, we have a dog so again food water muddy footprints on the floor, children under 3, food on the floor. I have a tiled kitchen area, and the rest is wood flooring, Bissell has made an outstanding product here. Our dog loves to sit on rugs, so we have a rug that can go in the washing machine, recently we had new stair carpet put in and a large offcut was perfect for our dog but I always have to spot clean it but now!! I can do everything all in one go brilliant! thank you Bissell.

I bought this about 9 months ago, hoping, but not entirely convinced, that it would be the answer to cleaning the uneven slate floors in my airbnb. I had been sweeping, hoovering and either manual mopping or steam mopping. Despite all my efforts and a floor that looked as clean as a slate floor looks I till got a couple of reviews saying the floor was not clean enough.
So I bought this.
I wasn’t sure how well it would cope with the floors.
Ohh, it has coped really well. I don’t know what I would do without it now! I will try and remember to add some pictures. I use the concentrated flash multi surface cleaner with it and that works just great. It does manage to sook up a lot of the water so the floor dries off pretty quickly and I get the satisfaction of emptying out the gathered revoltingly dirty water along with any fluff etc that the vacuuming missed.
Remember and clean the brush and empty out/rinse the filter after use otherwise it’ll stink.
This has been an amazing buy for me. Hopefully their technology will improve and develop something perfect for uneven floors as well as a head that can get right up to the edges. This one leaves a small gap. However it is so much better than anything else and makes my life so much easier and the cottage so much cleaner! I really do love it. Almost as much as our robot lawnmower. Almost.

We only have hard floors in our house. I have tried all sorts of methods but nothing gets the floors clean. Mops, robot swiffers, steam cleaners etc. The kids always had dirty feet as everything just seemed to smear the dirt so it looked clean but had a fine layer of dirt on top. We have underfloor heating so spills bake on within minutes leaving a sticky mess. Finally I have clean floors and the kids have clean feet. The Crosswave actually puts a small amount of clean water on the floor, scrubs and then sucks up dirty water. It also hoovers at the same time and works well on larger bits and very fine dirt. It even picks up glitter, of which we seem to constantly have a fine sprinkling over ever surface. It’s easy to clean and store after use and I have used it almost every day. When the kids spill something on the floor it’s easier to get the Crosswave out than mop it up with a cloth. I can clean the door mats at the same time. We have a cleaner and she saved half an hour as she doesn’t have to hoover first before steam mopping. As s professional she told me how amazed she was with how well it worked. I think she was skeptical at first.

Downsides are the formula is a bit pricey, it could clean a bit closer to the edges as it’s is about an inch away. Also when mopping using a traditional mop you usually work backwards, but as the Crosswave works as a hoover it only picks up dirt in front of it. This means you have to use it going forward so you are walking over the slightly damp floor you’ve just cleaned. However these are minor points for improvement.

I don’t have any carpets so I can’t say how well it works as a normal hoover but if you have a large amount of hard floors this is an absolute necessity.

I was initially skeptical about this product due to the price, however I am now convinced! It arrived well-packed, simple to set up, easy to use (didn’t need to look at instructions) and works well. The vaccum element is on par with a Henry Hoover in terms of suction which is fine for hard floors, although I am yet to test out it’s rug capabilities. The swivelling head and lightweight design allows for great maneuverability around obstacles. However, the Bissell CrossWave would definitely benefit from a handheld utensil for the more intricate areas. The trigger mechanism to activate/deactivate the water element allows for a streak-free and relatively dry finish in comparison to the mop and bucket method. Although the Bissell detergent is recommended, it was seemingly not necessary following use with and without, with relatively indistinguishable results. Regular cleaning of the comparatively small waste tank, filter and roller make for an efficient clean and great finish. Time will tell whether the Bissell CrossWave will hold up to the regular and rigerous, daily use.

Due to reviews on amazon I decided to replace my steam cleaner with the duel cleaner so I didn’t have to keep changing cleaner for steam mop.
I’ve used the cleaner this morning, well to say it’s good was a understatement. We live on a farm so house proud is a struggle. Mud..cow mud.. leaves and assorted dirt gets carried through into my kitchen from the outbuildings were my husband takes of wellies and outerwear.
I was emptying the dirty water container to the machine when my husband asked if i was conducting some experiment. I always thought i was clean with my steam mop. Well i was ashamed of my flagstone floor. The results where overwhelmingly.
Durability to the machine im not sure yet, but the results of my first cleaning was staggering.

We bought a new build house, the bathroom floors were filthy with builder’s dust, hand scrubbing and mops just spread it around. The Crosswave was brilliant because it sucks up the dirt like a carpet cleaner, result was a clean floor.

Absolutely fantastic for our high shine tile kitchen floor, it’s not the most powerful vacuum but more than good enough for hard floors, add to that the washing and drying and floor looks great with no streaks or water marks. The tiles are slippery when wet but Crosswave leaves them almost dry so it’s safe for the kids in minutes. Impossible to achieve same results with an old fashioned mop and bucket or even the Bissell Spinwave which doesn’t include the vacuum.

As this is an expensive purchase for the equivalent of a mop and bucket I decided to write a review which I hope will help others. I have wood, laminate and tiled floors. I have 3 poodles (non shedding) and 3 cats. However despite the Dogs being non shedding there is a lot of very small bits of hair from grooming along with bits of grass, leaves etc dragged in from the garden along with cat litter.

Previously I would vacuum the floor then use either a steam mop or a vileda spin mop. Despite the prior vacuuming there were always very small bits of hair that would gather in a line and required using dry kitchen roll to remove, the kitchen roll always looked dirty when wiped over the cleaned floor. I have a bad back and constant bending was painful.

After one particularly hard clean up job where the handle of the steam mop detached from the head I decided to try an all in one solution. I couldn’t find any direct comparisons between the Krcher or the Bissell and reading the reviews there were good and bad for both. I decided on the Bissell because I have a Bissell carpet cleaner that I love.

First of all there is virtually no assembly required, and I was able to use it within a few minutes. So I first of all cleaned my kitchen and there were the usual stains plus some blood. I like the Bissell 2 tank system where the dirty water is collected and it is constantly clean water that is being used on the floor. At the end I was disgusted at how dirty the water was – I’m far too embarrassed to post pictures. But the main point was the amount of hair that was collected. This volume was never collected by my vacuum leaving the small residue on the floor that needed a manual wipe and a quantity of kitchen roll.

It is easy to use and not too heavy, it uses far less water than either the steam mop or my bucket. The squeegee on the machine leaves the floors drier than my other methods and I loved the clean, streak free finish I achieved,

The vacuum power was demonstrated when I accidentally picked up an Allen key, it was easily removed from the roller without causing damage.
It has a reasonable length of cord, longer than my steam mop.

If my opinion changes once I have used the mop for some time I will revise this review.

Pros

Quicker than other methods
Picked up more small particles, I.e hair
Always used clean water
Powerful vacuum
Leaves floors drier than other methods

Cons
Price it is an expensive item
It can’t clean in corners.
It is a corded machine therefore requires to be plugged in and plugs changed throughout the process. I really don’t believe that battery technology is at a standard to allow a cordless model.

I used to have a Vax Floormate, but it gave up the ghost after a year. I had kept my eyes open for something similar and then a Youtube video introduced me to this wonderful machine. I am so pleased I bought it. In comparison to the Vax Floormate, this machine looks so much more cosmetically appealing, but more than that, it is so light and easy to use. Once the machine is running, the spinning brushhead helps pull it along the floor and it just makes such easy work of cleaning the floors.

I was sceptical about it’s hoovering capabilities but alas there is no worry to be had, as this machine sucks up everything on the floor. In a home with children (girls hair) and dogs, this machine literally sucks up the hair and it doesn’t clog the brush head, unlike with my Dyson cordless. It uses Bissell’s own detergent, which smells lovely but isn’t overpowering.

You fill the detachable pull out container with warm water and the detergent, turn the machine on with either the ‘hard floor’ or ‘rug’ button and away you go. The difference between these two buttons is it puts down more water on the rug setting than it does with the hard floor setting. I use the rug setting on my slate kitchen tiles as it works better that way with more water. The good thing about this machine, with the hard floor setting, is it seems to hardly use much water unlike the Vax Floormate, which literally soaked the floor.

I like the handy tray it comes with, which you stand it in. This is also where you clean the machine after each use by pouring clean water into the tray and turning the machine on so the roller brush cleans itself. You can easily detach the front (see photos) to get the roller brush out to stand it out the machine to dry and clean inside the head of the machine – not that it really gets very dirty!

This floor cleaner seems to have mixed reviews but I am SO pleased I bought it. The sheer ease, light weight and how it is so easy to steer makes this a dream when washing and hoovering your floors. I was forever vacuuming, then hoovering, only to find you had missed some dirt with the hoover and the mop wouldn’t pick it up. This machine solves all this as it’s constantly hoovering as it’s washing your floors.

I intend to buy another roller as a spare, but from watching Youtube videos, this machine in America comes with an additional stiff brush roller. I plan on purchasing one of these too, but you have to buy those on a different ‘bidding’ site as Amazon don’t stock them.

As for the roller brush not being the full length of the head of the machine head, I don’t think it really matters as it really only leaves an inch and if you go in the direction of the wall as opposed to going along the wall, it gets right up close. So glad I bought this machine and the icing on the cake is when you see all the dirty water!

great product…saves so much time and cleans well in comparison to my steam mop that just shifts dirt around on the pad…..would advise spare roller and filter so can wash and dry them etc….price was a put off …..but is well worth it…it stores well and is no bigger than normal upright hoover.I have all tiled floors with rugs and it works well on all of it. pretty light as well so no heavy lifting so my elderly mum also can use it.
