Bissell Crosswave Cordless Max Multi Surface Wet Dry Vacuum Review

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. It only takes 4 hours and you will have your device ready.

It’s soft enough yet effective at dislodging dirt. That means you won’t need to worry if your home is multi-floored or even if you have sensitive surfaces such as hardwood. You can only use the CrossWave brushroll on sealed hardwood, though.

I came across the Bissell CrossWave while researching cordless vacuums. Initially, I was just looking for a dry vacuum, but I was intrigued by the CrossWave’s multipurpose design. The CrossWave Cordless Max is the most feature-rich, premium of the CrossWave series, and is designed to vacuum and wash supported floors at the same time. Unlike dedicated dry vacuums and carpet cleaners, this appliance will not be as powerful as the aforementioned, but rather for general, daily use.

Just run over the dirty spot without pulling the water trigger; that will suck up any remaining water. Inside the box there’s everything you need to get started, including two small cleaning solutions . But before you get to cleaning, you’re going to want to charge the thing for at least four hours so you can get the most out of your vacuum. As for that vacuum, it’s sleek, with a copper-colored handle and lights that turn blue and white. If a vacuum can be cool, this is definitely one of them, and I say that as a Dyson owner. I took over and found the Bissell Crosswave Cordless was far harder to move on one of our thick pile rugs.

My wife had mopped our floors and we went back over our floors with the Bissell Crosswave and was shocked to see the amount of dirt and grime that it was able to get off our floors. All of the buttons that control and activate different features on the 2554A are placed in the perfect spots. It’s great for people staying in places with a combination of both hard and carpeted floors. Put the 2554A on your carpet and watch as it lifts all the things you see that are making your carpets dirty, and what you don’t. Small cat hairs, dog hair, and dirt from outside come up quick, even when traveling over rugs. However, setup and preparation after that are what’s most important.

Both settings work similarly, but when set to rug cleaning, the vacuum releases four times the amount of cleaning solution. The accessibility of the controls ensures continual cleaning and supreme ease of use. In terms of design, the two Crosswave models are in shark cordless many ways identical. They have similar dimensions, dirty water and clean water tank capacities, and several other features. While the Pet Pro is meant to be used by pet owners, the CrossWave cordless is an all-round device for the whole home cleaning needs.

If done incorrectly, the machine won’t mops or vacuums as well as it does when all pieces are refreshed. Again, the brush is self-cleaning, but that’s all. For most jobs, the lithium-ion battery will run for about thirty minutes. It could go for longer if you factor in the number of times that you stop, or keep the machine stationary. Too frequently, we forget to clean the equipment we use (the fridge, washing machine, etc.) It’s something we need to be doing more to ensure things last much longer.

If your home is anything like mine, you have a small army of cleaning appliances to help you tackle the myriad of messes that come from living with pets & kids. Break free from the restrictions of cords and wires with the BISSELL 3-in-1 CrossWave TM Cordless cleaner. Ideal for regular, routine cleaning as well as those messy accidents that simply happen in an active family home. 25 minutes of uninterrupted run time enables you to simultaneously vacuum, wash and dry multiple rooms and floor types in the average sized house. To test out the bissell crosswave cordless Max, I put it through a series of real-world tests, combining both vacuum and hard floor cleaning. First, I started by spreading a teaspoon of flour onto the kitchen floor, right up against the skirting board.

Finally, I’d love to see the next generation of this machine offer attachments to freshen up upholstery and reach tight corners on the floor. My area rugs are noticeably cleaner after using the CrossWave. I typically do three passes over an area before moving on to another.
