With the touch of a button, you can seamlessly switch from cleaning hard floors to vacuuming and refreshing your area rugs, all with one machine. A powerful 36V Li-Ion battery ensures you get constant performance throughout the entire cleaning process while enjoying cordless freedom. The shark cordless Max is reasonably maneuverable. Its floorhead pivots, allowing you to maneuver around obstacles pretty easily.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
This is the first time it has happened – when I put on the docking station and push power a red light comes on then after a second or two it beeps and the red light goes off. This machine is about a year old but has probably only been used a dozen times. This will run for about 40 seconds and shut off when it’s done. The dirty water tank icon will flash to remind you to empty the tank. It will then enter into a self-cleaning mode where It flushes out dirt, hair, and debris. When the self cleaning cycle is finished, simply empty the dirty tank of water and its ready for the next use.
