One distinct feature that the Bissell CrossWave has that the Hoover Floormate doesn’t have is that the crosswave can be used as just a vacuum where as the floor mate can not. Safe and effective for use on tile, sealed wood floors, area rugs, laminate, linoleum, rubber floor mats, pressed wood floors, and more. Any parts that you wash under water should be left to dry completely before refitting them. The dyson robot vacuum Max is reasonably easy to maintain.
Smart-Touch Controls on the handle allow you to easily switch between cleaning hard floors and area rugs. This on-demand, moisture-control trigger gives you control over the amount of formula being dispensed on your floors and area rugs. The bissell crosswave cordless Max’s real-world suction performance is poor. It uses a less powerful suction motor than the corded BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro and is likely to have more trouble drawing out debris wedged deep within cracks and crevices.
The shark 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. You simple attach it to the 3-in-1 docking station, add clean water to the clean water tank, then hit the self-clean button.
At this point, I pop out the roller and windshield attachment to make sure everything is wiped out and cleaned before retiring my vacuum for the day. I can get about 2,000 sq ft done in about 30 minutes, so about half my house. I will say that if the roller gets too oversaturated with water it can leave streaks, but the key is to let go of the trigger and roll over that area to pick up the excess water.
As a bonus, my Bissel Crosswave vacuum came with a second brush for backup! This way, I can alternate the two between cleaning my floors. If the upgrades are worth it and its in your budget, go for the pro max. There is another vacuum that closely resembles the Bissell crosswave. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max doesn’t come with attachments, though there is an additional replacement brushroll for its floorhead.
