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. As a floor cleaner, the BISSELL CrossWave uses water and cleaning solution to get deep down into carpets to refresh and clean with maximum efficiency. Two-Tank Technology keeps clean water and formula separate from dirty water and dry debris. Not only does the CrossWave clean your floors, it can also clean itself!
I should say it does an okay job with corners, but not as well as it would do with a hose. So If I wanted to wash down my furniture I actually have to lift up my vacuum and place it bissell crosswave cordless on my furniture and work it back and forth. The website does say that they have improved this feature, but it’s still not ideal for those areas because there are no attachments.
This way, I can alternate the two between cleaning my floors. The crosswave is much more expensive with many more features but essentially does the same thing as the pet pro model. I don’t think it has a strong enough mopping function to clean grout lines. It does a great job at refreshing everything, but it’s not as powerful as say a steam mop.
It’s more effective than the Dyson in sucking up debris on bare floors and has a longer battery life, not to mention a much bigger dustbin. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max has some disadvantages in dealing with pet hair. It does a fantastic job of dealing with pet hair on bare floors, but you might need to make an extra pass to collect all of it on low-pile carpeting. Its brushroll is pretty tangle-prone, but thankfully you can remove it to clear away any stuck-on hair. Since you can’t configure it as a handheld vacuum, it isn’t suitable for cleaning pet hair from furniture. It also lacks a HEPA filter, and some allergens can escape from its exhaust.
The dock also has a drying rack for its brushroll and filter. 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. It also works well to pick up pet hair and bulky dry debris without losing any suction.
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. It helps with maintenance tracking, usage tips, shark cordless and offers customer service, all within the app. Yes, the Crosswave pro max does have wifi connectivity that works well with bissell app called the bissell connect app. If the upgrades are worth it and its in your budget, go for the pro max.
This isn’t deep cleaning your carpets, but it gives them a nice refresh. It will definitely help with the lighter stains, but for tough stains, you’ll either have to spot treat of shampoo. My home is over 4,000 square feet and any small appliance that is going to save me time cleaning my floors is totally worth the splurge. Both will do well to clean up floors, including pet hair.
Still, the lack of a power cord makes it noticeably easier to maneuver compared to the BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max and Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet share an upright configuration, but they’re for different uses. The BISSELL is a hybrid vacuum/mop and can deal with stains and liquid spills with minimal difficulty.
