The multi-surface design vacuums and washes floors simultaneously, and the powerful battery offers up to 30 minutes of use per charge. This BISSEL CrossWave Cordless Max multi-surface wet/dry vacuum includes a docking station that charges the battery and automatically cleans out dirt and debris. Inside, the dual-action pet brush roll is designed to clean dyson robot vacuum up more pet hair, dirt, and debris along edges and in corners compared to CrossWave and CrossWave Pet Pro models. Its pet hair strainer also helps separate and trap pet hair and debris in the dirty water tank for easy emptying. Need an extra boost when scrubbing stains and removing pet odors? Add Bissell’s specialized pet cleaning formula into the mix.
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.
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.
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.
When I first got the shark cordless 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.
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 dyson robot vacuum 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.
