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.
Each time you use the product, hold the solution trigger for 10 seconds to prime the system with cleaning solution before you begin cleaning. When you hold the trigger, LED lights will illuminate. The Walmart-exclusive Bissell CrossWave Max Pet, which is basically a cordless wet-dry vacuum, is both a solid pet hair picker-upper and a pet stain remover.
When I first got the dyson robot vacuum Max, I was still learning how to use the self-cleaning function. Well, once I purchased the Bissell Crosswave last year, I quickly found out the answer – Yes! I discussed last year how the Crosswave worked beautifully on my floors and really made it easy to freshen up my space.
I can’t really find anything negative to say about the design of the machine itself or its performance. However I do have one major gripe to mention and it’s the dodgy interface between the machine and the charger-cum-cleaning station. When I first mounted the unit into the cleaning station’s provided port, it refused to engage with the power supply. In fact I had to jiggle the machine around until the charging light came on.
Its 36V lithium-ion battery gives you about 30 minutes of cordless cleaning power and convenience. This multi-surface cleaner is smooth to use, with great suction whether going over pet hair or cleaning spillages. 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. Clean hard floors and rugs with this BISSEL CrossWave Cordless Max multi-surface wet/dry vacuum.
A powerful and easy-to-use vacuum, hard floor and carpet cleaner, the Max is all you need to keep floors clean. Safe an effective on multiple surfaces including tile, sealed wood floors, carpet, rugs, laminate, linoleum, rubber floor mats, pressed wood floors, and more. I find the Bissell CrossWave Cordless a cleaning machine worth considering.

Depending on the size of your home, then, you may need to schedule your cleaning over a couple of days. Next, I sprinkled a teaspoon of rice onto the floor, then ran the cleaner over it. Here, it picked up everything without dropping any grains back onto the floor, showing irobot vacuum cleaner that this cleaner can easily cope with bigger debris. Handy LED lights at the front of the Cordless Max illuminate the area you’re cleaning, so you’re unlikely to miss any dirt. For cleaning, there’s a 0.83-litre tank that takes a mixture of detergent and water.
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.
