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

THis product is an amazing addition for my pet household! It is the perfect addition to my other Bissell products (Little Green & CleanView vacuum) as it is a product that can also scrub, mop and steam hardwood floors with hardly any effort. The different modes make cleaning all sorts of messes super easily. I was shocked at how easy to use it was--essentially you can remove from the packaging and immediately start using the Crosswave HydroSteam with very minimal direction, and I am happy i did not have to spend a lot of time with assembly. Since I recieved it, my floors are always clean and smell amazing--I even got compliments from a guest on how fresh my apartment smelled! A great purchase!

Pros: steam works great, suction on smooth tile and textured left almost no water in first wipe. Self cleaning on its own dock, cleaned entire base and roller impressively! Cons: it is loud and heavy piece of equipment. Dirty water tank is a third the size of the clean water. Stopping to dump tank, is irritating. Overall, I really like the Bissell! Its a steam mop, light duty vacuum, and a scrubber all in one! Its understandable its heavy.. but way heavier than I expected.

While the mop is a little heavy (due to all its features) it is a phenomenal buy if you have little humans or pets!

I really wanted to like this. When it worked for the first few seconds of it working, it worked great. I purchased the first one and had an issue with the vacuum disengaging where it would no longer suck up the water from the floor. So I returned it and tried a second one. The exact same thing happened to the second one. I will not be ordering another one and would not recommend this product.

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.

I love the Self Cleaning on this machine!! My previous Crosswave was amazing and worked so well on my hard floors - I saw this updated model and decided to give my original to my daughters and take the new one and I’M SO GLAD I DID! This model has steam cleaning mode as well as a clean cycle which cleans the roller brush (which we all know is the most disgusting part). Mine came with two small bottles of cleaner/sanitizer and a small bottle of clean cycle solution. For cleaning, you empty and clean out the dirty water tank then reattach. Fill the clean water reservoir with hot water to the mark, the pour a small amount of the cleaning solution into the storage tray. Set the machine in place and press the clean cycle button. The initial sound worried me, but then it kicks in and cleans the brush. Once finished you open the top, remove the brush, and set it into its slot to dry. I’m a little concerned what that cleaning will cost over time when I have to purchase the cleaner, but not touching the nasty brush is a plus. Everything else works mostly like my last machine. It vacuums up most dirt (with a struggle on anything larger like many machines these days), but mopping at the same time is so convenient when you’re busy!! The light is bright and helpful, though the light stays on when the machine is plugged in-not just when it’s on. That’s a little annoying for me, but certainly not an issue. Huge fan of this machine!!

I have only used it once, but I am so happy. After a recent remodel and all hard flooring I was so tired of sweeping and mopping, I felt everything was always covered in dust. The water was so dirty after the first pass. The water trap for dirt reminds me of my mom’s old rainbow vacuum. No horribly dusty bins to dump after vacuuming. I am loving it so far. Providing it continues to do what it has done, I will continue loving it. Our floors have light traffic, so mostly dust no really bad messes yet.
