You can just pull out this filter and throw away the dirt, pouring just dirty water away down the sink, without fear of causing a blockage. Once you release the trigger, the floor cleaner then sucks up the dirty water (and any other debris) into the waste tank. The tank has a capacity of 0.55 litres, so you’ll likely have to empty it a couple of times for each full tank of cleaning solution. The water tank was pretty dirty after cleaning my area rugs so I know it did its job. My real highlight with the Crosswave vacuum is the mop for hard surfaces. The irobot vacuum cleaner Max does a good job dealing with stains when used with the Multi-Surface cleaning formula.
This on-demand, moisture-control trigger gives you control over the amount of formula being dispensed on your floors and area rugs. Two tanks keep clean and dirty water separate to ensure you are always cleaning your floors with a fresh mix of water and formula. Note that you should only use this cleaner on rugs that are marked as suitable for wet cleaning (look out for W or WS on the care label). 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. 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.
It’s perfect for pet owners looking for more frequent use as it only comes in a plug-in model. This way you do not have to wait on the battery to charge. One distinct feature that the Bissell CrossWave has that the Hoover irobot vacuum cleaner Floormate doesn’t have is that the crosswave can be used as just a vacuum where as the floor mate can not. Due to its contents, this product cannot be shipped via our Priority Service or sent to Alaska, Hawaii, P.O.
It can be hard to push around on low and high-pile rugs, as its brushroll can get bogged down on carpet fibers pretty easily. Still, the lack of a power cord makes it noticeably easier to maneuver compared to the BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max and BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro each have distinct advantages, meaning one might suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. Both vacuums use similar detergent-dispersal functions and do a good job of dealing with dried-on stains as well as liquid spills. They’re also pretty similar in terms of dimensions and overall weight. That said, the corded Pet Pro can run indefinitely but at the cost of a limited range.
After the warranty is up, feel free to use whatever you like. To add the solution to the tank, all you have to do is first add warm water to the waterline, and then add your solution to the solution line. No, you definitely don’t have to only use the Bissel CorssWave’s solution for your vacuum. I used the solution it came with until it ran out and then I used my castile soap solution. The Bissel CrossWave does an outstanding job picking up messes on floors. For instance, it will even pick up items as large as cereal and small legos.
The Bissell crosswave pro max has many more high end features with its cordless design. The pet pro is not cordless but it does have a larger roller at 12in covering a bit more of a large area at a time. We’ve done the research on products designed to save you time and money. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max feels decently well-built. It’s similar to the BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro in terms of overall build quality, with a body made mainly from hard plastic and an aluminum wand. The floorhead release hinge unlocks with very little effort, making it hard to roll the vacuum around when it’s positioned completely upright.
That said, the Samsung vacuum is considerably better at everyday vacuuming tasks. It performs much better on carpeted floors with its multi-surface floorhead, is easier to maneuver, weighs considerably less, and has longer battery life. The Max is a passable option for cleaning staircases. It feels lightweight in your hand, while its cordless design ensures you won’t trip over a power cord.
Here, it picked up everything without dropping any grains back onto the floor, showing that this cleaner can easily cope with bigger debris. For cleaning, there’s a 0.83-litre tank that takes a mixture of detergent and water. There are handy fill lines for large and small areas, which means you won’t be wasting detergent. At the end of a clean, the CrossWave Cordless Max can be placed on its charging dock and the self-clean button hit to automatically clean the brush.
It works well at freshening up carpets, including rubber floor mats, while also cleaning multiple types of hard flooring. Bissell provides 1 litre of cleaning fluid in the box (its multi-surface cleaner) and you can buy more for £12.99 a pop. Bissell also sells formulations for pet and wood (both £12.99 each). While the cleaning width is shorter on this model, the Cordless Max has a thicker floor brush, allowing greater depth for absorbing dirt. Impressive cleaning and vacuuming performance, the thicker roller will see you quickly cover floors. Its high price means that those who don’t need the convenience of cordless power should seek out cheaper, plug-in alternatives.
Hands down, I would 100% recommend this small appliance if you’re in the market for a new vacuum cleaner. To use this feature all you have to do is make sure there is enough solution in the tank. If not, fill up the tank with warm water to the self-cleaning line. I have a few shag rugs and the high-pile seems to get caught in the roller. My cleaning isn’t delayed by having to clean the brushes and then letting them dry before using again, because they do need to be rinsed with hot water between uses. The crosswave is much more expensive with many more features but essentially does the same thing as the pet pro model.
