Its motor is not as powerful as dedicated dry vacuums or mops, however, but makes up for it with cordless, daily-use convenience for quick cleanings. It does not clean narrow grouts well, but because the dirty water is scooped up right away, grout is left looking better than with a regular mop. With three dyson robot vacuum cats and a dog, we spend a lot of time alternating between vacuuming and washing our floors, so this would definitely be a major time, space and back saver! I love that they include decent trial-sized bottles of their cleaning formulas. When you run out, use the app to quickly and easily order more.
It has a purpose and it serves that purpose well, but it doesn’t do everything. Given my general animosity for all things mopping, I decided to test out the CrossWave. It’s cordless, after all, and I have two pets that leave a nice dusting of hair wherever they go. The X7 showed up in a relatively small box, and setup was actually a breeze.
Even just hair from the floor, cat litter or dirt, you still have to stick your hands in there and clean it out. The concept is cool, but you’ll be disgusted in keeping it clean. Impressive cleaning and vacuuming performance, the thicker roller will see you quickly cover floors. Its high price means that those who don’t shark cordless need the convenience of cordless power should seek out cheaper, plug-in alternatives. Bissell produces battery powered Crosswave wet dry vacuums as well as corded Crosswave models. The CrossWave Cordless Max can vacuum up wet and dry messes with astonishing ease, mopping as it goes to leave no trace anything was amiss.
Both the tank and its filter can be easily rinsed clean. For wet spills, we first need to fill up the water tank to the desired level. With a water solution mix, press the trigger periodically to keep the brush saturated with water and it works really well. Overall, this vacuum works well for general, wet-dry vacuum cleaning.
Comes with two 8oz bottles of two difference cleaning solutions (Hard Floor Tough Mess + Odor Eliminator and multi-surface cleaning solution).

As a dry vacuum, the CrossWave provides over 100 AW suction. You can use it to remove even the dirt that is set deep in carpets. On hard floors, it works impressively with its spinning shark cordless brush roll and powerful air flow system. When used as a mop, it sprays cleaning liquid, loosens dirt and auctions it up into the dirty water tank with its strong vacuuming system.
BISSELL Connect app provides helpful alerts, maintenance tracking, and usage tips. Hand wash the filter and screen with Rinse the float located at the bottom warm water and mild detergent. These vacuums have built-in battery pack which is not detachable. The Crosswave cordless has a HARD FLOOR button and a RUG button, you press one of them to turn on the vacuum, press the button again will turn it off. The Max has a power button to turn on/off the vacuum and a mode button to switch between two modes.
These will give you a hint of what to expect from the device and whether it meets your preferences. The body of the Bissell CrossWave swivels to offer you better control of the device when cleaning. You get to guide it around objects easily, which makes cleaning activities more comfortable and fast. The swivel is smooth, and you won’t be using a lot of effort to turn the handle. I might also venture to say it’s very similar to the recent Hoover ONEPWR FloorMate Jet, which I’ve just reviewed. However, Bissell has been working on their CrossWave for at least 3-4 years, ever since they’ve released the first version of this wonderful cleaning appliance.
With the touch of a button, you can seamlessly switch from cleaning hard floors to vacuuming and refreshing your area rugs, all with one machine. A powerful 36V Li-Ion battery ensures you get constant performance throughout the entire cleaning process while enjoying the cordless freedom. Its battery life is also considered to be a pro as well. In our test they got 31 minutes in hard floor mode, which is really good though. Clean all types of floors with this all-in-one multi-surface cleaner without the hassle of cords.
The Max models use solution from the clean water tank whereas the Crosswave cordless models use water from the docking tray.
