BISSELL® CrossWave® HydroSteam™  Wet Dry Vac, Multi-Purpose Vacuum, Wash, and Steam, Sanitize Formula Included, 35151

I actually liked the fact that there was some weight to this. It felt like there was a bit more pressure on the floor so that the scrubbing really got to do its work. The brush design was great - I liked the soft brush with hard bristles integrated into it. Its a bit noisy but definitely great suction. Would have been helpful to have instructions on how to remove the handle to disassemble, but a quick YouTube search did the trick. Just remove the water bottle and insert a screwdriver into the little hole to press the release button and pull the handle off.

If you have a big house, are you trying to do a big space you’ll need more than one brush. The brush will get so soapy then I’ll start to leave. Streaks and sudden marks I really like the steam feature.

To be as brief as possible this is a cool machine in theory but it does not save any time nor does it do a comparable job to a steam mop if that’s what you’re looking for. I cleaned our large kitchen and two bathrooms today. I had the robot vacuum clean the kitchen and one of the bathrooms this morning understanding that in theory I did not need to, but expecting it probably wouldn’t hurt to make a first pass in those areas as we have a couple of dogs. It did a nice job grabbing the debris the robot had missed. And the mopping seemed okay too. I used the enclosed cleaner solution for the hard surface sanitize the first run but just used plain water after that as I didn’t love the residual cloudiness on the floor - and I ended up going back over everything with just plain water that I had already covered with the cleaning solution for this reason. Which honestly wasn’t a big deal because the dirty water tank fills up so quickly! Annoyingly quick. It is no where close to accommodating the large fill from the clean water tank. I didn’t count but I had to stop and empty the tank/refill at least 6 or 7 times between the three rooms. The steam it emits is not significant, but it does do a good job of sucking the water back up. The floor dried quickly. But it is LOUD So loud. In our main bathroom, where I did not run the vacuum prior, it did an excellent job grabbing all of the hair that I inexplicably lose every day while somehow still not going bald. And then when you’re all done, you have to do the self clean cycle (which is honestly pretty impressive and did actually clean the beater bar nearly completely in one cycle). And then clean out the dirty tank, the filter and dissemble the brush roll to try and wipe out the self cleaning tray if you do it to fidelity. Then I guess sometime tomorrow when everything is dry I’ll put it back together… I can’t see using this with any regularity. The tank is so small and the process to use it because of this plus the clean out process…. I could have used my upright vacuum + shark steam mop with a lot of steam (refilling the tank maybe 2x) in probably half the time. And then just thrown the mop pad in the wash and moved on with my day.

Our house is mostly tile and laminate. This is the best floor cleaner Ive found but dont let the steam thing fool you. This produces very little of it and with the tools provided this isnt going to remove grit from your grout without a manual brush and additional cleaner. But for general floor cleaning it works well. I vacuum before I use it and I have a very good Dyson vacuum but this will still pick up an additional huge amount of dog hair. So much so that I usually have to empty it frequently. If I had to do it over Id have probably bought one of their less expensive models without the steam as its almost non-existent in this model. And dont expect this to clean well close to edges. Youll have to manually scrub and use something else around baseboards. Anything closer than 1/2 inch will never get picked up or cleaned. Wait for this one to lower in price. Its way too expensive now or buy one of the other Crosswave products (preferably one without a cord). Much less expensive and I suspect will do about the same level of cleaning. Glad I didnt get rid of my steam mop that actually makes steam.

At least I hope thats what it was. Right out of the box mine did not produce any steam at all.. it didnt even get warm. Without the steam its still clean my floor pretty well, but I am returning it.

Don’t waste your money!!! Use a mop!!!

We liked that some of the purchase was donated to animals! Really easy to use and clean.

With dogs, cats and red Texas clay, Cleaning floors is a daily occurrence for me in one form or another. This is as light as a good vacuum, vacuum, mops, scrubs and steam cleans all at one, uses VERY little water and has a post cleaning cycle to assure the unit stays clean and fresh. Definitely worth the money!!!

Perfect all in one vacuum!! Great for picking up dog hair!

Unlike similar floor cleaners, this cleaner has a steam feature. It shoots out a great amount of steam, scrubs the floor, and sucks up the water thoroughly. Of course it vacuums as well. But, I’m a bit old fashioned and pre-vacuum my floor first. The other advantage of the steam feature is there are no streaks. FYI, I put a small amount of Murphy’s oil soap in the clean water reservoir (this might void my warranty).
