Bissell Crosswave Cordless Max Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vacuum

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.

You’ll likely find it easier to move the vacuum from place to place by using the grab handle, which has a rubberized surface to give you a more secure grip. Most of its controls are within easy reach, with its surface mode switch on top of the handle and a detergent trigger just underneath it. Consumers should immediately stop using the bissell crosswave cordless recalled vacuums and contact BISSELL for a free battery pack replacement. I can only get it to work for about 2 minutes before two red lights start flashing and the whole thing stops. The guide says internal error with no solution on how to actually fix it. As a bonus, my Bissel Crosswave vacuum came with a second brush for backup!

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

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.

Its brushroll motor is stronger than its cordless alternative, so you can use this vacuum to clean carpeted floors. However, the Cordless Max can be used to easily clean faraway rooms with minimal difficulty. It also features a self-cleaning function that slightly reduces hands-on maintenance requirements. After being impressed with the Bissell CrossWave Cordless hard floor cleaner, the company is back with a lighter, more powerful model. As with its sibling, the Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max can tackle hard floors as well as rugs and carpets. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max and Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet share an upright configuration, but they’re for different uses.

You can then easily lift out the brush and stand it upright for drying. With the brush removed, you can wipe the floor head clean. Although this model is called the CrossWave Cordless Max, it’s no bigger than the previous CrossWave Cordless.

The Max offers good battery performance. It can run for almost 40 minutes on a single charge, which should give you enough time to clean most rooms without running out of charge. The Bissell Cordless Max multi-surface cleaner has a 36 V lithium-ion battery. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max’s performance on low-pile carpet is poor. It has a hard time with both fine debris like baking soda and larger material like sand on this surface type.

It easily clears away small and bulky debris like rice and cereal, with no significant loss in suction performance as its dustbin fills up. The dyson robot vacuum Max has a fairly spacious dirt compartment. It’s smaller than that of more conventional cordless uprights like the Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away, though it does have a max fill line that lets you know when it’s full. It’s important to note that this vacuum also has a 28 oz (828 ml) water tank for its mopping feature.
