Useful Piece of Equipme
This cleaner is so nearly perfect for our needs. As the advertising says, it has both clean and dirty water tanks and also vacuums up bits on the floor, so no need to vacuum before cleaning, unless you have a large amount of litter on the floor.
We’ve been amazed at the amount of dirty water it collects and the amount of dog hair contained therein from our two Labradoodles, who DO shed (that’s the trouble with steam cleaners, as far as i’m concerned, they put water on the floor and leave it there so the dirt doesn’t really get picked up).
It’s also great not to have to kneel on the floor to give it a good scrub by hand (which is what i’d previously resorted to)
Downsides: As previous reviews state, it doesn’t clean right up to the cupboard plinths, so you really need to wipe the last inch/couple of inches with a cloth. Also, we have tiles that aren’t smooth, sort of a stone effect, which tend to collect dirt in little corners. Whilst the cleaner does a good job of keeping them clean it doesn’t get into all the little spaces, so i had to scrub every inch of floor before starting to use the cleaner for the first time. Once I’d done that, it’s doing a pretty good job of stopping any more pockets of dirt forming
Brilliant once you have worked out how to assemble, clean and reassemble.
Excellent bit of kit. Cleaning the various bits is not obvious but once you have mastered the knack it works well. So much horrid deep stuff is removed from rugs. Be prepared to take the container outside and clean.
Love it!
Used it for the first time yesterday and it’s brilliant. Why oh why did I ponder for so long before buying?
I’m slightly horrified at the muck it bought up, the colour of the water was filthy! It left the laminate dry and with a very slight sheen.
Very pleased.
Jack of all floors and the master of none?
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.
Brilliant worth every penny
Brilliant, had a Karcher steam mop and wanted to upgrade, bought a Karcher FC5 but that broke on 2nd use. This is brilliant. Although it does pick up dirt/pet hair whilst washing I tend to go round with the vac first. Dries really quickly and you are in control of the amount of water you want on your floors. Very easy to use. Highly recommend
It’s wonderful
I have 5 dogs with me at the moment and it’s the best thing I have bought I just love it .I don’t need to sweep vac and mop , just get the bissell ou
Brilliant.
Bought this to replace our steam mop, which there was nothing particularly wrong with. However I wanted something that sucked off the floor as a majority of the house is timber and tiled floors.I looked at a competitors version first, but the reviews made remarks to how small the elements that hold the water, clear or dirty are. This one stood out. Had it 4 weeks, and I must say, superb! Great suction. Brilliant on hard floors. Can do rugs and carpets as well. I have used on our rug and it was very good. I own a rug doctor as well, and the rug doctor is much better for that type work in my opinion. For hard floors tho. This is brilliant. I would highly recommend.
It does a great job and is very easy to use and clean.
Excellent product indeed! I clean, steam mop etc every day as I have a resident angora cat, and he is messy with biscuits fur and cat litter (currently training him to shake his fluffy paws more vigorously!) I have wooden floors, with occasional rugs and one posh vinyl floor. This wonderful gadget is light easily manoeuvred and does a reasonably large area between emptying and re-filling. The sheer grunge and dirt and fur and filth that it pulled of the wood, and out of the rugs was astonishing! For an everyday domestic cleaner this is truly awesome. The fluid leaves a pleasant clean fragrance which is not at all overwhelming, just feint scent. I have a commercial cleaner for fitted carpets and upholstery which also dry cleans, it’s a big one! and this small cleaner is the perfect daily appliance between biannual deep cleans. Highly recommend it.

great cleane
This is a fantastic dual purpose cleaner. I have 2 large dogs and although I still use my vacuum for getting most of the dog hair, this cleaner is great for keeping the kitchen floor clean and freshening up my rug. It is just a shame that my dog ate the clear brush cover within a week of my purchase and I am still waiting for a spare to arrive!
Get it now!
Wow wow wow !! How did I live without this machine!? With three animals two children and adding my husband and I to the mix, it feels like I’m constantly hoovering and then mopping the kitchen floor! This Vop changes everything! A quick wizz round and it hoovers and mops at the same time! Collecting all the dirt and muck in its own container which is easy to empty and clea
Everything I was hoping and more
Fair dues this is everything I hoped it would be and more. To be honest I don’t normally take the time to write reviews but felt I should with this as it has changed cleaning the floors into a very pleasant task.
We have parquet flooring in the hall and stone tiles in the kitchen that have slightly deep grout lines in areas. This has always caused water and debris to collect with normal mopping and the floors never felt clean.
Since we’ve had this the floors are spotless and it only takes 10 minutes to do the whole down stairs including rugs ( vacuum, mop and dry).
The vacuum part is as good as most normal vacuum’s then you just press the button to use the cleaning solution. I would recommend taking the time to clean out the unit after each use as the amount of debris that collects in phenomenal!! It’s an easy process but I would just say to be delicate as the plastic top cover does look like it could break fairly easily if to you were to heavy handed with it. We went with the corded version as in my experience of battery vacuum etc.. the batteries lose efficiency over time
Hope this helps

so far one of the best things ive ever bough
one gadget for vacuuming and shampooing both hard floors and carpets/rugs – it really seems to work and has made housework much easier and more effective. we have Samoyeds (long white hairs) and this thing picks it all up plus deals with spills as well. highly recommended (after 2 days of use) Easy to fill and empty and clean out and the material seems good quality.
Very pleased. Does the job
I read lots of mixed reviews and videos before buying this product. I have White tiled floors, four dogs, two kids and a husband that is in and out the garden constantly! I worried like in some reviews that there would be dirty water residue and streaks left behind. Although this is not the most expensive machine on the market it is still a lot to pay if it isn’t going to work. This arrived today and I am really pleased with it. Did exactly as it says on the box…vacuums and mops/cleans at the same time. Job done in half the time. I found it quick and easy to use. Odd spot of dirty water which was easily solved by going over it again without the water trigger pulled. Left the floors very clean and almost dry in minutes. If I had to pick fault with the machine I would say it is a bit noisy and the cleaning brush does not go right to the edges (brushes on other brands were the same) but I didn’t find either of these a problem and would definitely recommend. The machine needs to be cleaned when you are finished but again no major job, just a quick rinse of the the tanks and brush.
Will shock you how dirty your floors really are
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.

FANTASTIC......FANTASTIC
We have been looking for a while before this purchase…..FANTASTIC…….FANTASTIC. I thought our floors were quite clean even though having 3 dogs.
The first clean resulted with a mucky soup!!!!!!
Can’t recommend this device enough.
5 stars
I cannot rave about this enough! Before I bought it I read a review that said “I love this more than I love my husband” I thought wow that’s a big statement! It swung the purchase for me and it’s absolutely a game change! I have 9 dogs and 3 kids – one being a 15 month old who launches food and drink onto the floor every single day! A while cup of water – no problem, yoghurt, spaghetti, smushed fruit – no problem! I just whizz over it with the crosswave and it’s clean! Big muddy dog prints, mixed with hair – no problem! I literally adore this machine!! One tank of water/solution does a big area and there’s always some left! It leaves the floor clean and shiny and even cleans the grout which sits lower due to bevel edged tiles. I’ve tried expensive steam mops, spray mops, robot hoovers that do hoovering and mopping and none were right! This machine does the job and some! Don’t hesitate!
Excellent machine.
Read a testing review about this machine which gave it a very favourable rating. Purchased one and totally agree with the review. It is a super cleaner and very easy to use. Mine has to work in a very large area and does a fantastic job. Too big a job for a mop and bucket and this way the dirty water is not going back onto the floor. Highly recommend it.
Background, I have 3 cats and one who cannot wipe his feet on 10 feet of superabsorbent fleece rug! I have researched several floor washers online and this seems the best for the type of floors and degree of cat fur I have. I hate hovering then having to wash a floor and finding cat fluff all over the mop. This was the lightest unit I could find, important if you are using one of these for more than 20 minutes. This one also comes with a wireless option at more cost. I was not sure if the battery would last for my use. As it took 1 hour to clean my floors, and the battery lasts 40 minutes, so the wire cheaper option was better for me. Do not buy one of these if you are one of those people that can’t cope with washing all the parts of the food blender or de-lint the tumble dryer. It is messy, best to have kitchen roll on the side to collect the fluff. This unit will hoover and wash at the same time, very time saving. If the floor has dried stains it will take several or 10’s of passes. I would say this it’s better to use this often and daily rather for big spills. This unit will hoover up big spills, but remember what goes in you must take out. Might be better to use kitchen towels than resort to this unit. Noise is not too bad either. Hubby has tinnitus and the drone does get to him, but I find it fine. Easy to use the cleaning tray too.
In all good unit does what I need it to do.
BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro
Received this today and used for the first time, easy to assemble, I must admit this has to be one of the best floor cleaners that I have ever used, I clean my floors on a regular basis and I was shocked at how much dirt this machine removed from my floors, can’t recommend this machine enough, 5 stars all day long, if your thinking of buying one, but have doubts, don’t, just buy one and it will be the best money you have ever spent.

The best floor cleaner I have ever used.
Very pleased with this floor and carpet cleaner. It was easy to assemble, is simple to use and straightforward to clean. My floors and carpets look so much cleaner, the whole house is fresher and I no longer need to shout at my family when they forget to wipe the dog’s paws when he races in from playing ball in the garden. The filth and hairs that first accumulated in the waste water, made me wince with shame. There is great satisfaction in pouring them down the toilet and actually seeing how much cleaning this smashing Bissell machine has done with so little effort on my part. It come with a tidy stand and takes up a great deal less space than the bewilderingly complex VAX machine I bought two years earlier to do the same job, and have never used because I couldn’t fathom the instructions and couldn’t manoeuvre due to its weight and bulk. The VAX will shortly be sold on as an ‘unwanted gift’. I just hope that the buyer never reads this review!
Fantastic floor cleane
Took delivery of this today and it is fantastic. Cleans and vacuums hard floors and carpets with ease. Almost makes the job enjoyable. It was amazing to see the dirt in the tank at the end! I purchased the Bissell to replace a a Karcher, and there is no contest; the Bissell is significantly better.
Great machine which does what it says it will
Only tried this twice but so far, so good. Hoovers right up against cupboard, cleans really well and dries well too. You have to hover over dried food stains a little longer but it lifts these off. We have ceramic floor tiles with under floor heating which can often leave a smear or streak when cleaning. There’s none of these visible with this machine as it doesn’t over-soak the floor & isn’t left to dry itself. Not the cheapest floor cleaner on the market but you have to factor in that this one also cleans rugs too so we’ll worth the money. Delighted so far so let’s hope this lasts.

Great. Get one.
I was busy cleaning my carpets when I wondered why there wasn’t a similar machine to clean hard/vinolay floors. A machine where there was one tank for clean water and one tank for dirty water. So I looked into this and found the Bissell Crosswave floor cleaner. No more wringing out of mops and pushing dirty water around the floor. No more cleaning of pads or throwing them away. This machine hoovers and cleans the floor and does it easily, quickly and effectively. No it’s not cheap BUT I think it’s worth it and although this may sound corny I am actually looking forward to my next floor clean. The only bit I found difficult was interpreting the pictorial instructions. I then found some simple starter instructions on the back of another piece of paper so look out for those!!
Very good hard floor cleaner and works well as a surface cleaner on carpet.
I bought this cleaner mainly for hard floors (I have 3 dogs who sometimes have very wet and muddy paws) and it works very well on both tiled and wooden flooring. It is simple to set up, use and quick and easy to empty and clean after use. I have only used the Bissell cleaning solution which came with the cleaner, this has a pleasant smell and is ok to use on the types of flooring I have. The machine also dries the floor well if you pass over each section a couple of times. I have used the machine on a couple of rugs, it cleaned the surface well and left the rugs only slightly damp. Overall this machine works well and does exactly what I need it to do.

Excellent for washing and drying floors in no time.
Great machine for cleaning my floors. I have solid oak and tiles. It washes, vacuums and drys the floors in no time. It is not a steam cleaner as it doesn’t use steam, but I had a Polti steam cleaner which had a vacuum and was really cumbersome and expensive and only lasted about 6 years. This is a great alternative. I was looking for something which washed and vacuumed the water up and this is perfect. You add the solution with warm water to one container and wash the floor. The dirt, fluff, hair etc all gets sucked into a separate container which can be emptied. It is fantastic for spills. You don’t have to vacuum beforehand and is really quick. My porcelain bathroom tiles are squeaky clean. The floors will be slightly damp but will dry in a few minutes, quicker than if you used a conventional mop. I wouldn’t be without this now. It’s easy to clean and has a storage base to store the rollers upright to dry. Would thoroughly recommend. I won’t be going back to conventional mopping! You can also clean carpet. I have used it on the one carpet in the house, my bedroom with great results.

Easy to use and well worth i
Does a better job than a mop and bucket and dry with minutes not to mention uses very little water. The suction and cleaning shows, the mirky water after is proof enough.
Would recommend
It’s really easy to use with powerful suction so it’s not leaving the floors wet -they dry a lot quicker than conventional mopping so with the dogs running around they can’t walk foot prints through the wet floor. It’s fairly easy to clean although it is more than just emptying a mop bucket. Overall it’s a really good product and worth the money.
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.
Good but not a massive life changing experience
The hoover is lightweight and decent enough to suck up dog hair. I found it left bad streaks when I used the dilution guide on the water container. If you dilute the solution more it seems to reduce the streaks
Can't stop loving crosswave pet pro
it saved me lots of time to clean my hard floors and carpet..as I am living with 2 large golden reteriver and one cat. my dogs always make a mess when they drinks and eat so I have to mop the floor 2~4 time every evening. I just received this wonderful and magical crosswave today and test it right away once DHL drop off to me. Definitely a positive review and highly recommended to pet owners
Love this I’ve done a lot of research on these vacuums as I wanted something worthwhile I chose this for a few reasons price, reviews, detail, and style I had it delivered today and have filled the water tank to the highest setting put the solution in that came with it and off I went so easy to use done my lounge which is 20ft by 15ft then emptied the tank as you can see in the pictures uch y fi on to the kitchen which is the same size and omg just as bad Even though I hoovered and washed floors Thursday so day before yesterday this is what it was like today but you can see the difference and feel it the floors are much nicer than normal mopping alone I have fibromyalgia and can’t use anything heavy but this is just right and easy to maneuver too xx I will update at a later date and let you know how it is xx UPDATE this is the best thing in my life I have washed not only my hard floors but my bedroom carpets too two of them are hard-wearing but the other one is a fluffy carpet it washed them perfectly and only took about 3 hours to fully dry xx will update again later xx UPDATE 1/1/21 still absolutely loving my washing vacuum cleaner one thing I would like on it which would make it the absolute best thing would be to have a suction pipe to be able to sick under items as in sofas cupboards corners this would make the cleaner the best out of any cleaners xx

Bissel does it again and exceeds expectations
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.
Ultimate vacuum power mop machine for suffering husbands.
For the man who likea a clean floor and can never understand how the family makes so much mess. Smashes cleaning our large tiled kitchen/dining living space in minutes. Picks up and the food flung from the high chair. Tossed milk cups. Kids who can’t eat over a plate. Stones from the driveway off shoes. Mud of the buggy wheels and trainers. Toilet accident? Just smashed through it in one job. Dries the floor quickly so those precious little darlings and friends don’t slip or walk water over the cream wool carpets…Thankfully there’s another Bissell for the carpets.

Best multi functional cleane
This is the best hard surface floor cleaner I have used. It will dry vacuum clouds of pet hairs and wash the floor at the same time. It doesn’t wash right to the very edge but vacuums hard surfaces to the edge. Excellent with rugs covered in hairs- better than my dyson. Some have complained you have emptying the bucket halfway through but this is using water/ cleaning solution constantly on a very dirt floor. The dirt it picks up is impressive!
Not sure how long the filter lasts or how much it costs. Only their cleaning solution is only recommended which I have no idea where I could just go to a shop and buy it.
A real asset in cleaning floors very easily.
This is amazing – I’d almost go as far as to say that it has changed my life. I’m disabled and can no longer get down to clean the floor.
This makes cleaning hard floors, rugs and small areas of carpet virtually effortless. It’s easy to fill and empty and has a little filter to remove any thing that isn’t liquid.
Once you’ve thrown those bits away, all you need to do is empty the dirty water (and it really can be dirty!), rinse the parts and fit that unit back onto the machine. There is a tray that the machine fits onto and your spare brush sits on there too.
I don’t think it would completely replace a dry vacuum cleaner, but it is a real asset in helping to have clean floors.
A real asset in cleaning floors very easily.

Excellent cleaner for luxury vinyl plank floors
Our outgoing tenant had not truly cleaned my property for 2 years. The porcelain tiles in the kitchen and dining room were very soiled and the vinyl plank flooring to the rest of the ground floor needed deep cleaning – dust,grime and footprints! Although the Bissel dirty water tank fills quickly it was very satisfying seeing the rich dark brown grit enriched waste water being poured down the sink. I also used it to clean the bedroom carpets – not too bad a result and quicker than my soil extraction machine. Researched other machines before purchase, glad I made the right choice!!
A superb purchase
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!
Having recently got a cocker spaniel I wanted something to clean our hard floors (Karndean and Amptico). I was reassured by the 4.5 stars but a bit concerned about some of the one star reviews. I have been very impressed, as my picture shows the Cross wave picks up plenty of dirt. The crosswave is really just an electric mop and bucket. You apply cleaning fluid to the roller, it brushes and dirty water is sucked up. I can’t understand some of the one star reviews, the clean and dirty water is separate so I don’t agree that it just pushes dirty water about. Not all the water is sucked up but really there is only a tiny film left which quickly dries, I think it unrealistic to expect the floor to be totally dry.
Makes cleaning a whole lot less miserable 😁
Makes cleaning my concrete floor a pleasure! Takes the hard work out of a difficult job.
We live on a farm, have 4 cats and two dogs plus a large open plan living kitchen diner – a cleaning nightmare! Washing the floor with a mop an absolute no go – just moves the dirt around and streaks horribly! I agonised over buying a floor cleaner for ages – such mixed reviews – but I bit the bullet and am glad I did. This cleaner actually lifts the dirt and cleans, and my floor actually shines when it’s done. Plus the special ‘pet’ liquid doesn’t leave that temporary shine that immediately goes cloudy and shows every footprint! My floor is clean, naturally shiny as polished concrete should be and seems to stay clean for longer. Oh and it smells lovely! I Don’t know how I managed so long without it.
Note of caution – it is not a floor polisher, and it does leave a 2 inch gap around edges which may bother some. However, it does clean properly with minimal streaking and a natural shine. It’s polished enough for me and I can live with the edges that don’t get dirty anyway. Also, while it does vacuum as well, I always properly vacuum first with my trusty Henry, otherwise I’d be dealing with ‘orrible mess (pet hair) when emptying.
On that note, it’s easy to clean and store.
Definitely my favourite purchase this year (and I hate cleaning lol )
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
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
Great produc
Does what it states on the tin. Cleans our hard tile floors effortlessly and small areas of carpet and rugs. It’s not a vacuum cleaner though, it’s not designed for that use. The only negative aspect of its use is that if one lowers the handle too far (to get under furniture) the float in the dirty water reservoir shuts of the suction. It does this to prevent dirty water from being sucked into contact with the filter.

Great for everyday cleaning.
Love this. Works as a hoover whilst lightly cleaning carpets/ floors. Great if you have pets.
It is not a carpet cleaner – it doesn’t deep clean, but fab for getting up spills and light marks.
Only downside is that there is not an attachment for stairs or soft furnishings.
Cleans stone tiles well
I have light stone floors which get super dirty with kids muddy feet etc …. keeping the floor clean regularly has been a horrible chore until I found this product ….it does the job well, sucking up the wet to ensure it doesn’t smear after it’s cleaned the area. I purchased the corded one as the cordless runs out too quickly in my opinion (especially if you have a larger area to clean) …. the cord length is long so it’s not a problem.
My life is transformed (sad i know). My lab moults all the time, he loves chewing sticks, cardboard, shoes, my kids drop stuff on the floor, my daughters have long hair….
I used to have a Roomba (need to buy a new battery) and then i’d mop after… Roomba took ages and would tangle in stuff and mop cleaned much better than a steam mop which just spread the dirt.
However, this is brilliant, it hoovers, washes and it’s so quick (and loud).. doesn’t totally dry but that doesn’t take long and if u use warm tap water it is even quicker. The amount of hair and dirt that it picks up is truly gross and I use it weekly. It doesn’t go right to the edges but have found if u use it face on it gets very near – i don’t care though… this has saved me so much time and effort and i couldn’t be happier – a brilliant buy!

Best cleaner we have ever had
This is a fantastic product. Very easy to manoeuvre. Gets up all the dog hairs. Easy to clean with a big tank that doesn’t need to be kept being refilled. We have used the solution from another carpet cleaner and it works perfectly. Excellent buy.
I thought my floors were clean, boy was I wrong!. I am disabled and have problems using my hands, other floor cleaners I have tried are difficult for me to take apart to clean and fill up and hard to manoeuvre, but not this one very easy. It goes from floor to rug ssmoothly, it even picks up kibble the dogs have left on the floor and their hair just vanishes!!. I used to use a cordless vacuum cleaner follows by a steam cleaner which was becoming difficult for me now job done in record time. I have the corded animal version but would now consider the cordless if it wasn’t so expensive. I have been recommending this cleaner to all my friends and family. Yes to begin with I was having to empty the dirty water reducing frequently just because of the dirt it was finding but now it is no longer a problem and I have got used to the cord. I hesitated for weeks before buying due to the cost but it is well worth the money and looks well made and should last, plenty of spares available if needed. The solutions is good it seems expensive at first but a little goes a long way. Would like to give it more stars. Go for it.
Works well very pleased
Works really well .very happy with the product fast delivery to Cyprus
Excellent floor cleaner and for rugs I even used this on carpe
This has been the best floor cleaner I’ve ever used. I have had so many and after a couple of times using it they lose suction. I’ve had this now for a few months and I love it. The pet liquid smells amazing because I have flooring everywhere I use it a lot I’d definitely recommend this I love it my mother and mother in law have also bought one too they loved mine so much

Love my new bissel
This is my favorite purchase this year. So light and easy cleans to a shine and the matching bissell cleaning solution paired with this makes a dream TEAM. It also smells grea
I bought this after buying its close competitor from the company that does good car pressure washers and begins with a ‘K…’
The other machine leaks and it a pain to use. You go through liquid quickly but it does a good job.
However the MAJOR difference with the BISSEL is you have a trigger and it only dispenses water when you want it to. This has a huge advantage. It means you can use and dispense water on really filthy areas but use the damp rollers on normal hard floors . but even better you can switch to RUG mode and you can use it like a hoover OR is you want to clean a spill on the carpet you can use the wash trigger to dispense some rug cleaner and suck up the residue. I did this method using a solution from rug doctor and it worked brilliantly removed a stain from blood. Overall the cleaning in hover and wet scrub mode is excellent and on hard floors as well as carpet. Glad I returned the other one and got this. Recommended BUY.
Pricey, but well worth i
I am dead impressed with this floor cleaner. It’s light enough that I can easily carry it upstairs; it maneuvers very deftly and nearly reaches the very edge of a floor. But it’s in how it cleans that I am really impressed. Having previously had a Vax multi-surface floor cleaner, I was sceptical how a roller would clean my slate and ceramic tiles, especially with what looked like a teensy water supply (compared to that used in the Vax). I have to say that it does work exceptionally well. As there are about four different filters in the dirty water ingress, I also have confidence that it will continue being effective. It’s very easy to set up and even easier to clean afterwards. So much so that I’m inclined to clean the floors much more frequently than I had been doing. So although it is a fairly expensive item, I am happy that I’ve purchased it.

Brilliant better than expected
I watched some online video reviews before I purchased the crosswave. As it sucked up broken eggs shells and jam off a floor I was impressed.
The day it arrived unsure as to whether it would live up to the videos, as it is easy to make things look amazing when in reality they are not.
I can happily report that the crosswave is a fantastic bit of kit.
My wife always moaned that the kitchen floor was a nightmare to mop and never looked clean (pic1)
She used the crosswave and after a couple of passes it looked so clean (pic2+3) she was quite amazed as like me she thought it would not be as good as she had seen.
The amount of dirt you see in the waste tank after using it is quite astonishing.
Only one issue she has had with it is that it does not get right up to the edges but it’s only a small gripe
I would highly recommend one for anyone who has hard or laminated flooring.
Cleans brilliantly
I was expecting to be disappointed but was really impressed. We have a travertine style kitchen tile with gold flecks in it. Despite our cleaner and us regularly cleaning the floor and steaming cleaning it we only get to see them after getting our hands and knees and scrubbing the floor. After two passes of the Bissell they are clearly evident. Though I don’t have pets I got the Pet Pro as it was a great deal, I also bought 1litre of the standard floor cleaner. I much prefer the clean scent of the Pet cleaning fluid, not too strong but has a nice clean smell. I am really impressed with this machine and has made cleaning the house a lot quicker whilst the cleaner is unable to visit because of COVID-19 (still paying her though).
So pleased with this item, I did my research and read many reviews before purchasing and was hopeful and excited to try it out. I was not disappointed. It is lighter than I was expecting which was an instant bonus. I’ve used it on my tiles floors which have a matt finish and I’ve never seen them so clean. I had moped the floors 3 days prior to using the cross wave, so thought they were reasonably clean, but after seeing the floors afterwards and looking at the waste water I couldnt have been more wrong.
The finish is great and the floors dry so much faster than if you’re using a standard mop. I no longer have to hoover, mop and hoover again to collect the bits that got away.
I would recommend this item, very pleased with my purchase.
Sucking Hell
I always do as much research online when spending a lot of money on any appliance. This purchase was no different and WOW i was not disappointed. One of the main benefits is the fact i can save so much time now, being able to hoover and clean the floor at the same time. The suction is fantastic and the wet function is great as well. It sucks pretty much everything. The best hoover I have ever purchased and I have had them all. Karchers Henrys both great but this is by far the greatest purchase of all. The only negative is getting into the corners, it wont end off I have to use a duster mop to drag anything out before hand, you do have to keep on top of the maintenance if you have pet hairs as the tube at the bottom can get clogged after a while with wet dog hair. Other than that its 9 out of 10 in my book and i would recommend anyone buy one today

Possibly the best product I've ever purchased.
This is hands-down one of the best products I’ve ever purchased. …We looked at the video reviews online and while I think it’s unlikely that you’ll suck up an entire cracked egg off your floor without using a paper towel first, this thing does the job for bits. We have actual hardwood floors (not laminate, just the pine the Victorians put down), and our wood is so textured that I do have to use the ‘rug’ button instead of the ‘floors’ button to get into all the grooves and knots. I thought I’d resent having to buy Bissell cleaner only, but I don’t (and sometimes I just use warm water). I used to mop every fortnight, but this is a lifesaver as we’ve got a small child. It’s saved my lower back as well. I thought my floor was clean, but it took 3 mops before the Bissell stopped sucking up black water. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I have waited more than a year to leave a review for this machine because sometimes they start of being great but then they break or they are hard to clean or stop doing such a great job BUT whoever designed this deserves a multitude of awards! I live in a messy house, full of boys and dogs all who do very little around the household. This machine cleans my kitchen tiles, my laminate flooring and my living room rug. It has cleaned carpet spills. The cleaning liquid is fab and the best bit is the machine is so easy to clean from the large container to the brush all of it is designed with ease and effectiveness in mind. A bit dramatic but I could not cope without having this machine in my house. Even my young son has used to clean the kitchen floor!
Very happy with this after a lot of research. We’re using it in our pottery to clean the floor which is constantly covered in clay and glaze. My partner says it’s not perfect and leaves some clay marks on the floor but there’s never going to be a machine to equal scrubbing on your hands and knees in my opinion and I prefer the convenience to perfection. It works better if you go slow but sometimes I skim over and don’t get everything off the floor, and ideally I should let the floor dry so I could see what’s been missed and go over it again, but life’s too short and this machine means I can keep the place looking ok if not perfect for minimum effort. I love that it sucks as well as mops and you can change the amount of water being used by choosing the hard floor or rug setting. The water tank is easy to empty (and the disgusting mess that comes out shows how much it’s picking up). If you were a family member I would not hesitate to recommend.
So we’ve had this for a few months and I think I can probably give an good overview of the product now. Overall it’s very good- it makes cleaning hard floors much more convenient and less messy with a few caveats;
This is not an industrial scrubber- think of it as a vigorous wiper. It will clean most of the dirt off your floor but will not handle really stubborn stains.
You have to pass over the floor slowly to be effective- it’s not like a vacuum cleaner.
It can get to within an inch and a half of skirting boards.
It’s important to clean it out soon after you use it, otherwise it starts to smell
All this said, if you use this often it makes light work of keeping a floor clean. The floors come up slightly damp and dry quickly and it’s a lot less effort and mess than manual mopping.
Works well On our karndean floors and handles the dog hair with no blocking.
I run a small.domestic cleaning business and therefore clean a lot.of houses, many with large areas of hard flooring. There is absolutely no doubt that this item saves time on the traditional vacuuming and mopping and anything that saves time in my industry gets a big thumbs up from.me.
The suction on this machine is excellent and it will suck.up almost anything, wet or dry. However, I wouldn’t say it is a miracle cleaning machine, it cleans no better than a vacuum and steam mop and one downside is that it doesn’t really reach the edges and corners of the room. It works well on most hard floors, wood, tile and ceramic, however, if tiles are very shiny, the roller tends to skid around and leave marks behind. It is also good at cleaning rugs as long as they are large and weighted, otherwise it will just suck them up and get jammed. I don’t agree that the machine dries as it goes, although it doesn’t take long for the floors to dry, it cannot be drying when the roller brush is constantly wet!
The dirty tank is small and gets full very quickly, however it is quick and easy to empty to carry on. Cleaning the machine when you have finished with it is also easy and quick but I would recommend getting a second filter and roller brush as they take 24hrs to dry between uses.
The biggest thumbs down is the cost of the formula, which doesn’t go far, I can get through a one litre bottle of this stuff after cleaning about 3 houses, so.I do have to limit how.much I use the machine because of this. Shame really as I would use it.much more otherwise.
Overall, an excellent time saving piece of equipment but expensive to run.
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.
Does what it’s supposed to do and so I’m happy. It’s pretty noisy so I use ear defenders as I have a dodgy ear but I suspect most users wouldn’t bother.
Due to the way it’s constructed it leave an unwashed strip of about two centimetres from the room wall but I don’t find that such a big deal.
When you empty the collected water from the collection tank you will be amazed at the amount of dirt it has collected. So, it works the

Absolutely love it. I had steam cleaners and other suction washing cleaners but this is far the best I have had and used. It will vacuum and clean at the same time but having a furry dog with lots of molting hair I do lightly vacuum first then wash. I use it to lightly go over my rugs and runners to freshen them up and it only leaves them slightly damp. Don’t try to use it as a carpet cleaner as that’s not it’s intended for. I compared this to the Karcher and I’m really pleased I chose this. One thing I found was that the detergent, spare rollers and everything else is a lot cheaper from the Bissell online shop take a look.

I was hesitant about buying this. I already have the Karcher floor cleaner, but this wasn’t performing that well.
I have had the bissell 2 days and have used it throughout my bungalow.
The benefits against the karcher is that the bissell releases more water onto the rollers. Because of that and the faster roller spin it cleans much faster. I can do my kitchen floor in half the time! The floors are a tiny bit wetter but much cleaner.
As a lot of the other comments have stated it’s shame it doesn’t clean to the edge. It probably leaves 3cm.
It also picks up dog hair much better too. My karcher used to spit chunks out. But the bissell is great.
So for those wanting to buy one of these I would recommend the bissell every time!
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.
Absolutely in love with this product! Bought it when there was a prime offer on so I got a great discount. I have a big dining kitchen and it used to take a good 30 mins to vacuum and mop and then another 30 mins to dry. With the Bissell I can do all that in 10 mins and the floor looks great! It also cleans the long rug/mat I have the is right inside the back door and gets really quite dirty (especially in this weather) and it comes up like new each time. I would not be without this product – best purchase in a long time
I have to say I was sceptical about purchasing this product however I am glad I did & extremely pleased with its performance, makes cleaning so much easier . Before I would have to hoover then mop which was time consuming and a drag. I actually enjoy using the bissell 3in1 it does exactly as stated! hoovers cleans and dries and floors are gleaming after use .so best 200 spent I would say,
One slight niggle is it cannot get right up to skirting which leaves a half inch mark all the way round your floors that u have to wipe by hand and the underbase itself can drip dirty water so on that basis I rate it a 4* but all in all a great device would definitely recommend to anyone
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.
I am delighted with this machine. I live in a large farm house with lots of floors that never get cleaned because I am too busy. This machine really made it so much easier to wash floors and carpets. The carpets really came up well and were only mildly damp afterwards.
Well built and easy to use. Maybe a little heavy for some people.
I bought this rather than the Karcher because the reviews of the Karcher told me the Karcha roller brushes don’t last long. The brush on this machine seem to be solidly made
Be careful when closing and attaching the water bottle. First time round I did not screw it tight enough and teh water leaked out everywhere.
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.
I have a house with 7 dogs and I am constantly cleaning the floors. The CrossWave is the best thing I have ever bought!!!!!!It is so easy to use IT dose pick up the dogs hairs and leaves a lovely nearly dry floor which dry in next no time. Would I recommend this cleaner Yes I would, in fact I have recommended it to many of my friends. Very happy with my purchase it dose as I says hoovers and cleans at the same time marvellous
This machine is fantastic. We have stone tiles in our garden room, kitchen and utility. They are textured with deep grout lines which have always been a problem to clean. I had only just purchased one when we had a flash flood in our garden room where we had left the veluxes wide open. The machine not only sucked up all the water but hoovered up all the dog hair, dead flies etc, cleaned everything and left it very nearly dry. Brilliant, would totally recommend it.
This hoover/washer is a real find…. pricey… maybe… but you get what you pay for…. suction is awesome… I could see the dog hairs being pulled out of the corners!! It even took off the emulsion paint off my laminate that I had split the night before and hadn’t noticed… a product that truly lives up to its claims!!
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.
It took a while for Amazon to get them back in stock, but I am so glad that I waited. I did a lot of research on finding a hard floor cleaner, and this one seemed to be the most recommended. I have not been disappointed!
It is really simple to use, and easy to clean afterwards. More importantly, it also does a fantastic job. We have a quite clean house (no pets, and I am a little OCD so keep things very clean), and I am always stunned at the colour of the waste water after my weekly clean with the Bissell.
I had a look at the Krcher after buying this, as the were demonstrating it in Costco, which reaffirmed that I had made the right choice.
This has made my life so much easier! With 8 dogs cleaning the tiled floors in the house was becoming a bit of a nightmare as conventional mops just didn’t get the floors properly clean and we were reduced to scrubbing with a brush instead which took forever. I do tend to hoover first if there is a lot of fur around as I find that the dirty water resevoir doesn’t fill up so quickly but the machine picks up too absolutely fine if I can’t be bothered! Floors dry really quickly and the Bissell cleaning fluid shifts the dirt and has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. The only downside is that it really is quite noisey but having tried so many other ways to clean floor I’ll put up with it.
This is a great piece of kit. After I got floorboard type tiles I struggled to clean into their groves and keep them streak free. The Crosswave is brilliant, it cleans, dries quickly and it copes with fur as well as muddy paw prints! On that topic the fur will gather in the waste water collection tank and cause it to make a terrible choking sound after about 35/40 sq metres (my dog sheds a lot) don’t panic, just empty the tank. The machine works better (no streaks) if the cord is behind it so, while the cord is fairly long, I use an extension cord to do my hall from the kitchen socket.
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!
We have recently moved into an old property with a tiled floor and backing into fields. With 2 dogs regular mopping did not seem to be effective.
After a bit of research we ordered the Bissell hard floor cleaner. As you can see from the first photo the floor appears to be reasonably clean. (Part of a 20m2 tiled floor) After 1 pass using the rug setting the dirt container has collected enough dirt for an archaeological survey.
