It helps maintain the machine’s cleaning performance by cleaning the brush roll and inside of the CrossWave, so there’s less clean-up after cleaning. Thanks to two-tank technology, you can separate the clean water and dirty water. You can use it on tile, sealed wood floors, laminate, linoleum, rubber floor mats, pressed wood floors, and more. It is safe and effective on multiple surfaces and even refreshes area rugs.
Did not get all the extra shampoos and extras which are now advertised. I’m Jason Moe Roberts, an appliances expert and blogger. I’ve worked at Walmart for more than 15 years, in the house appliance department. I love to use home equipment and I spend a lot of time testing the best products and reviewing them. My family and friends also recommend me as a caring person, a great dad and a loving husband. We love helping our customers live an energy-smart life.
This multi-surface tool will arrive dissembled, and every time you use it you will have to fill, and then after using, clean this machine. But don’t worry as this gets easier every time you do it. And it’s all pretty self explanatory in the instructions. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. With the power on, the Bissell CrossWave Cordless operates in vacuum only mode. This is handy, as it means that you can use it to pick up wet spills, say when you make a mess cooking.
It only takes 4 hours and you will have your device ready. It comes with a comfortable handle that lets you move the unit from one place to another. While this feature may seem insignificant, it’s pretty useful for users who have to clean surfaces on different floors of their homes. The control buttons are placed within easy reach, on the handle. You get to operate the vacuum without struggling to find anything, which is a commendable design.
The CrossWave Cordless Max features a 36V lithium ion battery, running for up to 30 minutes1 at a time. “There never seems to be enough time when it comes to prepping for the holidays, so I’m always looking for ways to make the most of the time I do have,” says Berk. They are not intended for dry vacuuming only, will not work as well as a regular dry vacuum cleaner does. Comes with two 8oz bottles of two difference cleaning solutions (Hard Floor Tough Mess + Odor Eliminator and multi-surface cleaning solution). The CrossWave assembles in an instant and it’s ready to use in a few minutes. You only need to ensure the battery is fully charged before you begin cleaning tasks.
In fact the only thing that lets it down a little is the useless charging interface. Now release the trigger and pull slowly back to suck the mess up into the 550ml dirty water tank. If you have tiling, polished concrete or linoleum, go the full hog and select the appropriate setting which dispenses more shark cordless water per pull of the trigger. No reaching for a mop and bucket, no dollops of elbow grease to release sticky substances. Since the Bissell CrossWave mostly washes floors, we will talk first about the tank which holds the dirty water. It’s a 14.5-ounce bin positioned in front of the vacuum’s body.
A notable issue I’ve had with other vacuums is the spitting out of kitty litter. The CrossWave easily slides over litter without throwing out even a single particle. I have yet to find another machine that does this so well.
Its pet hair strainer also helps separate and trap pet hair and debris in the dirty water tank for easy emptying. Need an extra boost when scrubbing stains and removing pet odors? Add Bissell’s specialized pet cleaning formula into the mix. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max is great for pretty much anyone with several rooms to clean, but little time to do so – since it does three jobs in one. Though saying that, we didn’t find that this machine dried floors as well as we would hope. They will still be damp, but not as wet as they would be after mopping.
