After using this machine you will want to press and hold the button that looks like a fan, just under the display, and it will begin a 30-second self-clean. You will still have to empty water tanks and clean brushes, but this does help along the way as it flushes out dirt, hair and debris from shark cordless the appliance and brush roll. Once finished you’ll want to grab and empty both water tanks – be prepared for what you’ll find in the dirty tank – and with the dirty tank, remove the filter and clean it thoroughly. Then, take out the rotating brush bar and give it a good clean under your tap.
In fact I had to jiggle the machine around until the charging light came on. I wouldn’t say it’s a deal breaker but it sure is frustrating. A separate button activates the self-cleaning mode when the unit is mounted to the charger-cum-cleaning dyson robot vacuum station. Even though being able to clean my wooden floors in one go is such a time saver, it does have one downside. After I mop with the Bissell Crosswave, my wooden floors stay damp for quite some time.
It’s also easy to use with a sleek digital interface – just press the button on the handle to power on, and select whether you are using it on hard or soft flooring. You’ll want to hold the trigger each time you want to release cleaning solution on your floors, and then move it forward to mop and vacuum, and release the trigger and pull back to dry. If you want to use it for deeper cleaning, move the brush roll over the area, hold the trigger for a few seconds, and pull back to dry.
As with its sibling, the dyson robot vacuum Max can tackle hard floors as well as rugs and carpets. I was super impressed by the way it miraculously removed all traces of pet hair and ketchup, returning the brush to near new condition after just one cleaning binge. I just wish Bissell could improve the interface between the cleaner and cleaning base because the current method is way too clunky. You can use it on your floors, linoleum, wood, tile, and rugs — wet, dry or yep, even both at the same time for a deeper clean.
Bissell’s newest, wet-dry vacuum cleaner promises a cordless, light, easy-to-use appliance to help bring some sanity back into families’ lives. This warranty applies to a product used for personal purposes, and not commercial or rental service. Safe an effective on multiple surfaces including tile, sealed wood floors, carpet, rugs, laminate, linoleum, rubber floor mats, pressed wood floors, and more. My kitchen floor often gets quite dirty because I have three cats that regularly walk in and out, bringing in mud from outside. The CrossWave Cordless Max made short work of even toughs stains that some floor cleaners struggle with, leaving a clean and relatively dry floor.
