It makes clean-up so much easier, and I am always confident that the vacuum is working well. I’ve noticed the weight mostly on stairs, as I try to vacuum each step and bring it to multiple levels of my house! It also takes a bit more strength to maneuver around things like furniture. It is tempting to pull out the Crosswave and get the mopping done because it really is easy, but I have to plan before I mop. The Bissell Crosswave Max has a charging time of four hours, and it runs for 30 minutes. This short run time requires me to clean my house in two parts.
While the cleaning width is shorter on this model, the Cordless Max has a thicker floor brush, allowing greater depth for absorbing dirt. The roller also features a few hard for agitating dirt. 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.
I liked it for my tile floor, but not so much on carpet. Especially when you clean hard floor at the same like you So, it is an expensive mop. I don’t have wifi so i don’t have whatever that offers. I will try to get used to it and decide if I want to send it back. I was disappointed that this machine is 1) heavy and hard to maneuver; 2) takes up more room than expected; 3) leaves a puddle of dirty water once you stop cleaning.
It leaves the surface slightly damp but has no trouble clearing the water as a whole. While it has a less powerful motor than the corded BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro, that’s somewhat balanced out by its fluffier brushroll, which does a better job absorbing liquids. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max isn’t designed for use on high-pile carpet. Its brushroll motor isn’t strong enough to keep the roller moving on thick carpeting, making it very hard to push around. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max doesn’t come with attachments, though there is an additional replacement brushroll for its floorhead. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max’s range is limited only by the remaining battery life and the room left within its dirt compartment.
Regarding battery time, you should get up to around 30 minutes of use from a complete charge. And that’s more than enough time for any task bar perhaps a full four-room mopping session. The Crosswave Cordless Max can also be used to vacuum a rug or refresh it with a quick wet application though, in the latter respect, it’s no substitute for a bona fine Best Carpet Cleaner.
I then added a squirt of ketchup to see how well it cleaned it up and how well the self-cleaning system performed. Lo and behold, my new floor dynamo completely eradicated the ketchup after just two passes, depositing it all in the dirty water tank which by now resembled the contents of a cesspit. Emptying the contents shark cordless into the sink was easy but I did have to manually remove a bunch of hair and rinse the whole tank under the tap – par for the course with any floor cleaner. The CrossWave’s 828ml clean water reservoir comes with two sets of measurement markings, one for short emergency whizzes and another for a full household clean.
Preferably, this plug socket will be out of sight from you and your guests, since this machine isn’t exactly the smallest. This is one of our only issues with the BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max – it’s quite hard to store. Ours is currently sitting in our kitchen, charging through a plug that sits above our worktop. It’s worth us noting that this machine has to be sat on the dock to charge, and you’ll want to place it on there when self-cleaning, too. If you are short on storage space, this is not the appliance for you.

This Bissell has become my go-to when something spills on the floor. I don’t scramble for a paper towel roll, I can just go to the closet and get the Bissell!
It performs better on bare floors than the Hoover, and its fluffy brushroll is better suited to drawing debris up from cracks and crevices. The Hoover is a more conventional cordless upright that you can easily use on carpeted surfaces. It’s also lighter, charges faster, and has a dustbin that’s roughly twice as large. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for the convenience of vacuuming and washing my floor at the same time.
The CrossWave Max weighs a very respectable 5.22kg and comes with an extra large 828ml clean water tank and a larger-than-average 550ml dirty water tank with filter attached. This means you can clean for much longer than others without having to refill the clean water tank or empty the dirty one. I was impressed and surprised by how much dirt is picked up within the dirty water tank, and the convenience of this appliance makes it easier to perform quick cleanings on a more regular basis. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max does a good job dealing with stains when used with the Multi-Surface cleaning formula. It’s worth noting that this vacuum can leave behind a small amount of residue after completing a pass, though thankfully, it’s pretty easy to clear away.
