BISSELL Crosswave Turbo Vacuum Mop All in One Wet and Dry Vac Combo Hard Floor & Area Rug Cleaner, 3888A

Just used my new Bissell Crosswave machine for the first time and while cleaning my floors I kept thinking I should write a review. Then I went to empty the catch container and it was definite, I must write a review!First, this is my third machine in 13 years. I have a 3000 sq ft home with white marble tile in every room except the bedrooms where I have wood flooring. I live in SC a mile from the ocean and my husband runs on the beach every day and golf 4-5 times a week and refuses to go barefoot or wear slippers or some form of indoor only shoes. Needless to say I have sand, sand and more sand. Add to that the fact there is always something falling from the trees, and despite having an exterminator there are endless little critters of all sorts along baseboards. Until 2 years ago I had a sheltie with long hair so my Bissell machines have always had their work cut out for them and I couldn't live without one!The reason for this review? Well, with each new machine I've had, I've always found something new that made me like the newer machine best and this machine was no different. Between my long hair, and years of having a dog, I use to have to reach into the catch container with a paper towel and drag out all the hair and such. Bissell has added a screen with a handle that you lift out and all the solid stuff comes right up leaving only dirty water to be flushed down the toilet. No more digging into gunk! Just tap the screen onto a paper towel and clean up is easier than ever!I've read reviews stating this machine leaves puddles of water on the floor. My response to that is, either the machine was defective out of the box or the person doesn't know how to use it. You don't keep your finger on the trigger to release cleaning fluid constantly, but squeeze the trigger to keep the roller mop wet or for ground in dirt or spills. Add cleaning solution, then allow the machine to suck it up. Floors will be nearly dry immediately and surely dry within minutes which is also helpful with a husband that always seems to walk through the area I've just cleaned to get to another location within the house.And finally, having white marble tile floors I can tell you I see EVERYTHING!!!! While this machine cannot "mop" right up to the edge, it certainly sucks right up to the edge! Again, lots of little no seeums fly into the house, or baby spiders or "palmetto" bugs. This machine misses nothing! Its inability to "wet mop" right up to the edge is a result of the roller mop being set within the machine, so yes, periodically you need to go along with a damp cloth to wipe along the edge baseboards or cabinets, but certainly not every time you clean. Unless they found a way to have the roller mop exposed on the sides or front, which would make suctioning the water impossible, there's no way you can mop right along the baseboards. So for anyone who complains about that, well there's an opportunity for them to become the next millionaire once they come up with a design to do the impossible.So that's it! Had to right this review because these machines have kept my floors clean enough for my grandchildren to crawl around on for years and I can't imagine living without my Bissell Crosswaves!

I am absolutely in love with this machine! It vacuums and mops at the same time, and honestly, it has made cleaning my home so much faster and easier. The suction is strong, it picks up everything from dust to pet hair, and the mop feature leaves my floors looking fresh and streak-free. Instead of going over the same spots twice, I get it all done in one pass. Total game-changer.The cleaning solution smells amazing—it leaves my whole house feeling fresh, not just clean. And when I’m done, the machine itself is super easy to clean, which makes me love it even more. Another huge plus: it can even spot clean carpet or refresh the smell of carpets, and yes—it obviously sucks up water too, which makes it super versatile!I’ve seen some mixed reviews, and honestly, I’m not sure what people are reading when they look at the description. Some seem to expect absolute perfection like it’s going to scrub every inch on its own. Others have complained about “lines” it leaves behind… but I honestly haven’t seen any! I’m not sure how people are cleaning to get lines, but my floors come out looking great every single time. I also read reviews where people complained that it left water on the floor—well, it’s a vacuum mop! Of course it’s going to leave the floor wet—that’s literally the point.For me, it’s been worth every penny. It saves me time, my house looks and feels cleaner, and I don’t dread the chore anymore. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. If you want an easy, efficient, and effective way to clean, this is it!!!

This is a wonderful vac mop. It cuts my cleaning time in half. I have two super shedder dogs at home and I use this on my hardwood floors across my entire home. I’ve been using it every other day religiously. I’m impressed with how much hair it picks up, and that it can go on rugs and hardwood.You DO need to clean it thoroughly after each use. I appreciate that it was designed to be easily cleaned. I just tossed my Dyson Animal because it could not be cleaned in certain areas, which ultimately ruined it. Cleaning this one is super easy although I do think the hair filter is pretty useless. The hair gets everywhere in the dirty water tank regardless, but it’s easy to get out with a quick rinse. Then I run the mop self-cleaning mode once or twice to freshen the brush roll. And that’s it!Now, it does leave some streaks on the floor and doesn’t add any shine etc, so if you’re wanting your floors to be sparkling you’ll need something else. But I absolutely love it for an everyday clean.
