Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max Multi Surface Wet Dry Vacuum Review

To make sure this vacuum functions the right way every time, cleaning it out is essential every time you use it. The battery level only lasts 30 minutes or so before needing to be back on the charging dock. Due to having a large home, how much square footage I can cover really depends on how fast I can work. If the upgrades are worth it and its in your budget, go for the pro max. The Crosswave tests show that it is very effective at removing almost 100% of all wet and dry debris.

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 Max does a good job dealing with stains when used with the Multi-Surface cleaning formula.

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. It also works well to pick up pet hair and bulky dry debris without losing any suction. I also appreciate that due to it’s compact size, it cleans small areas just as well as large areas.

Probably my favorite feature of the Bissell Crosswave Max is that it works on carpets! Not only does it vacuum everything up on my carpet, but it refreshed my carpets making them smell fantastic. Try releasing the trigger after making a pass and going over the wet spot a few times without spraying. But be careful not to use too much cleaning solution as it could leave a sticky residue behind.

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.
