BissellCrossWave Cordless Max Vacuum Mop All in One Wet and Dry Vac Combo Hard Floor Cleaner and Area Rugs, Cordless Mop, Pack-in Formulas Included, 2554A

I'm going to write this review comparing the Crosswave to both a $30 spray mop/swiffer that you can find a million different models of on here, and to a traditional mop and bucket. Summary at the bottom.Cleaning Ability: 4.5/5The crosswave lands somewhere between the mop and bucket, and spray mop for cleaning ability. It does land much closer to the mop and bucket, however, which is the best way to deep clean your floor. What this does do better than the m&b is sanitize. I feel much better cleaning my bathroom with this rather than a mop and bucket that becomes contaminated the second you rinse the mop. Something the Crosswave also does that the others don't is cleaning solid waste. You can clean up a spilled bowl of cereal, for example, with just this one device; vacuuming and mopping simultaneously. I've had some pretty messy spills, dried liquids, food that's fallen and been stomped on, and this has no problem cleaning it up.Ease of Use: 3/5The winner here is clearly the spray mop or swiffer. I would say the mopping itself is extremely easy, but you're only deferring your effort. After use, you'll have to run the cleaning cycle, empty the drain water container, clean out the solid waste from the basket, rinse the filter, and possibly clean the rotating head every few uses with soap and water. I still find this easier than dealing with a mop and bucket, but barely. Just don't expect to be able to grab this, mop up, and then throw it back in the closet having saved so much time and energy.Price: 3/5Well, it's a bit more than a mop and bucket to say the least. I got mine on sale for less than $300, and I'm not sure I could justify spending full price ($411 List Price) on this. But, I don't have any regrets so far. I find myself much more likely to mop daily, and my house has been cleaner since I've bought it.Reliability: -/5This is an unknown, but its already lasted longer than any spray mop I've bought, which seem to fail after 2-4 months. The win here will definitely go to the mop and bucket. I'll update this if anything changes.Maintenance: 4/5Maintenance is pretty easy here. I'll eventually have to replace the filter, but it came with an extra mop head. The mop head seems high quality and should last quite a while. The filter is washable, so I haven't had to worry about that yet. I haven't tried any other cleaners, but you're supposed to use the stuff from the manufacturer, so be prepared to pay more for cleaner than you're used to, but it's pretty reasonably priced.Build Quality: 4.5/5This feels like a high quality product in line with a Dyson or Miele. My only concern is that the charging/cleaning station feels quite cheap. Other than that, I have no worries that this will last a while. The battery lasts plenty long to mop my whole house.Overall: 4/5If you have the money to spend and want to make daily mopping part of your routine, this really does beat the spray mops and swiffers of the world. It's very nice having something I can easily grab after cooking dinner and give the kitchen a once over, mopping and vacuuming at the same time. It certainly beats the mop and bucket for cleaning a localized spill, and can still handle my whole house if it needs to. It won't replace the deep cleaning of a good mop and a bucket of hot, soapy water, but it will get you 90% of the way there, and for me, that's enough to make it worth it.

I bought this during the stay at home orders. I have a weekly cleaning by a 3 person cleaning crew made up of three large burly women. When non-essential businesses had to close, I had to clean my place by myself and found that I did not have the same strength as 3 burly women. The floor cleaning was the most difficult for me. Also, I'm quite elderly. So, I purchased this product. It did the job. If it did a bit better deep cleaning on tile, I would give it five stars. And of course, I can always use a product that is lighter and lighter. It was definitely worth the money. Contrary to others, I did not find the maintenance of it to be arduous. Instead of quitting when the tank was empty, I emptied the dirty water tank and refilled the top tank. While I had lunch, I allowed the battery to charge. I able to continue on and finish a major portion of the house; the dirtiest parts. Now I know that I can take care of the floors, even if I don't have anyone to help me. Good job Bissell.several months later, I've added: A big test of a mechanical item is whether or not a hired cleaning person can use it. I raised my evaluation to five stars because my cleaning person is using it effectively and has also not broken it. She likes it so much that she cleans it all up and gets it ready for the next time. I have not had to tell her anything. No problems have occurred. I believe that this is due to the very clear training videos that she watched on her own. Kudos to Bissell for making easy to understand training videos. The fact that the roller self-cleans is a big plus. When a product can not only be easily used, but not broken by cleaning personnel is a testament to a good product.

For the price, I had really high expectations for this but I've had nothing but problems. First, I should point out that I think mine had a defect that I was willing to work around. It appeared as if water was only coming out one side of the unit. Maybe this is by design, and if it is, it is a really poor design. Basically I can only do passes that are 1/2 the size of the cleaner because water only comes out one side. Not the worst thing but it was quite annoying.I was willing to look past this and continue to use it but the issues just kept coming up. The most glaring and annoying issue which I would say by itself is a dealbreaker is that the vacuum does not clean the area directly under it. What I mean is that with the part that spins and the suction, you would expect that it would eventually dry itself off to a certain extent but it does not. You can leave it in the same spot after some use and it will just leave a pool of dirty water under it. Basically, there is no scenario where you don't have dirty water under it when you are done and you either have to clean that area by hand or just accept the dirty spot.The poor suction issue causes addition issues where even the smallest amount of dog hair will get caught in the connection between the business end and the dirty water container. Yes, it picks up a fair amount of dirty water from the floor but not enough to get it as clean as you really want it to be.So I guess the question is, is this good for anything at all? Yes. As much as I just bashed on it, it does have some uses. While the suction is an issue, it will at least pick up large amounts of water before it reaches a point where it can't pick up anymore and you have the above mentioned 'dirty water' pool. For me, it was good for cleaning up spilled water bowls, dog pee spots on the floor, and other limited scope situations.The unit itself can be cleaned some what easily by just letting it sit in your sink(unfilled) and running water and then running the unit. It will pull up clean water and wash out the business end of the unit and even most of the connecting pipe between the dirty water container. This is useful when cleaning up really gross stuff that you don't want lingering in the unit.Overall a huge disappointment, especially for the price. I would have rather waited/saved up for a unit that had more power and less problems- even if it had to be corded instead of battery.
