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 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.
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 irobot vacuum cleaner 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.
That said, the Samsung vacuum is considerably better at everyday vacuuming tasks. It performs much better on carpeted floors with its multi-surface floorhead, is easier to maneuver, weighs considerably less, and has longer battery life. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max is a passable option for cleaning staircases. It feels lightweight in your hand, while its cordless design ensures you won’t trip over a power cord.
Crosswave Cordless Max Multi-Surface cleaner also features improved edge cleaning for cleaning debris like pet hair along baseboards and in corners. Two-tank technology keeps clean and dirty water separate, so unlike mopping, only clean water and formula touch your floors. The self-cleaning cycle cleans the brush roll and inside of the machine after you’re finished, so there’s less clean-up after cleaning. No matter what surface you need to clean, the BISSELL CrossWave floor and carpet cleaner is up to the task. It’s safe and effective for use on tile, sealed wood floors, laminate, linoleum, rubber floor mats, pressed wood floors, and more, giving you versatility all in one 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.
