Decent battery life combined with fast cleaning should result in enough juice for most people to manage their homes. A relatively high price means that those on tighter budgets will be better off with a plug-in model. Admittedly this multi-surface tool isn’t as easy to manoeuvre as a stick vacuum is – or even an upright vacuum. It’s heavy with a water tank on-board as well as a tank for collecting dirt, debris and dirty water. Though saying that, we did find that it gets into corners and along skirting boards. Going from hard floors to carpeted areas or rugs is quite easy, though depending on the difference in the thickness you may have to lift the machine.
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. You can pop these tools on the 3-in-1 docking station to dry. The Cordless Max Pet irobot vacuum cleaner combines all of your floor cleaning chores with cordless freedom in an effort to save you precious time and energy. And since your dog probably isn’t going to lend a hand, you’ll need all the help you can get. It can tackle messes on hard floors like tile, linoleum, wood, or laminate, as well as carpets, rubber floor mats, and area rugs.
And as of March 7, you can get it on sale for just $339. Annie is the UK Shopping Editor at Real Homes, Ideal Home, Livingetc, Gardeningetc and Homes & Gardens. She reviews everything from home gym equipment to floor care appliances. She lives in a spacious two-bedroom flat which is fitted with laminate flooring, along with her partner and her two pets – so there’s plenty of mess to clean. So, as we have mentioned, this machine comes with a 3-in-1 docking station for storing.
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. I was disappointed that this machine is 1) heavy and hard to maneuver; 2) takes up more room than expected; 3) leaves a puddle of dirty water once you stop cleaning.

Most of my pros have stayed the same, but I have had more time to figure out what exactly I like about the Crosswave. The Crosswave also made it super easy to give my carpet a quick freshening up. As I said in my first blog, it does not completely replace shampooing your carpet. I have had the Bissell Crosswave Max for about a year now, and I am ready to give another review. As for comparing the Bissell CrossWave Cordless with the Hoover FloorMate Cordless, the table above speaks for itself. On one side, Floormate is cheaper, weighs less pounds, and has interchangeable batteries.
First, I started by spreading a teaspoon of flour onto the kitchen floor, right up against the skirting board. Running the cleaner through on vacuum mode, it picked up most of it when running the head along the skirting. Bissell says that the edge performance is 60% better here than on the CrossWave Cordless – and it would appear so; there was just a small trace of dirt left to be collected. For an in-depth review of this upgraded wet dry vacuum from Bissell, read on.
Part of having a pet means having to bring out the mop and vacuum a bit more often. Check out these 4 Reasons To Love The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max Multi-Surface Wet/Dry Vacuum that makes life easier by being all-in-one. 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. This product comes with a minimum one-year manufacturer’s guarantee and retails at £329.99 at the time of writing.
So I am back to buy the corded version of the Crosswave today. The 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. It’s also great for parents and pet owners, since it can vacuum up liquid-based mess, too, and it rids the need of getting out your vacuum and mop when something is spilt.
