BISSELL, 2554A CrossWave Cordless Max All in One Wet-Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop for Hard Floors and Area Rugs, Black/Pearl White with Electric Blue Accents

BISSELL, 2554A • CrossWave Cordless Max All in One Wet-Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop. I'll start out by saying this is a great vacuum all by itself. It vacuums as well as almost all other premium brands on the market both floor and carpet. It's very maneuverable but it takes a little extra force to push it compared to other brands. However that didn't present too much of a problem. The water solution cleaning feature also performed well. It did clean up regular messes decently. However I did find tough stains to be a problem to get rid of. I won't blame the machine because scrubbing by hand the stains could not be removed either. This machine is for general dry/wet cleaning. I checked on the cost of replacement Bissell floor/carpet solution and it can become pricey at 10-20 dollars depending on formula and amount, so keep that in mind. The machine is easily taken apart for complete cleaning. I appreciated that because that will save on the life of the machine and less fuss. The biggest draw back I have is the 30 minute charge. It takes 4 hours to recharge to get 30 minutes. If you have a large home to clean this is not practical. This machine is more for smaller situation cleaning and or smaller areas. This machine is pricey at almost $400. I did receive this machine for free for an honest evaluation. I ask myself would I fork out that much money to buy one after trying it. I would honestly say no because the the battery charge life situation. If it lasted an hour and the charge time was much less, I would endorse it 100 % but as it is I can only give it 3 stars. That being said this Bissell crosswave wet/cry cordless vac does work and vacuum very well.

I was soooo hoping I was going to love this. Unfortunately it was a big miss for me. 1. They advertise as self-cleaning, however there are MANY steps to cleaning parts after use. The only thing that self cleans is the roller. You have to clean out the water bin, the filter, the base, the crevices in the vacuum and then after you run the roller, you get to clean it all again. The cleaning process was so lengthy that I literally could’ve manually mopped the floor in the same time- so it didn’t save me any time. 2. The vacuum and water tanks are supposed to separately gather dry debris and the dirty water. However, there was a lot of the dry debris all throughout the various parts where it wasn’t supposed to go. I think this also made the clean up much messier. 3. The mop didn’t seem to clean the floor well. I have a laminate shine floor and a ceramic tile. The mop didn’t pick up any little spots, even when I held down on the cleaning solution and went over the same area a few times. It left a lot of streaks on the laminate- which I could have lived with if the mop actually cleaned the floor. 4. There isn’t an indicator that beeps or tells you when you should stop mopping with enough solution left to run the “self clean” roller cycle. So, after measuring it out to mop, I had to take another step to make more in order to clean the roller. The process was so tedious and messy that it defeats the purpose of a two-in-one design. It was returned the day I got it. Update: I heard good things about the Bissell Spinwave Cordless Mop so I ordered that, rather than hope for a miraculous 2in1. I posted a picture so everyone could see the difference in mopping effectiveness.

Useless! I would’ve been furious had I spent money on this. I like Bissel and I have several of their products including their carpet cleaning products. So I was really looking forward to getting this cleaner. I started off by giving it a full charge and following directions to add the cleaner and water. I primed it for 10 seconds as they recommend. First they tried it on a fresh stain on the rug. I went over and over and over that area using plenty of solution. It barely touched it. So I thought OK maybe it’s just better for floors so I tried it on my kitchen floor. It’s seem to pick up some debris that was on the floor, and it look like it was getting the floor wet but I didn’t really see it getting the floor clean. After looking and doing the entire kitchen floor, I looked at the dirty water bin and it was completely empty! So I looked at the manual and Bissell has a text-support and it was early enough so I tried texting Bissell for support. I got a response that they were overburdened at the moment and it was going to take a while. That was an hour ago. Stay away from this it will do nothing for you. So disappointing

Upgraded from the corded version and find this so much better! Count my cleaning time by 50% 1-no cord 2-bigger cleaning roll 3-self cleaning after use

I've been using the bissell crosswave for a little over 2 months now with pets and young children. 2500 square feet of a mixture of tile, hardwood, rugs and laminate. I am so friggin impressed with this thing! It picks up everything! It picked up a nightgown that my daughter tossed in its path. Seriously it's so convenient. It cuts my cleaning down considerably being able to vaccum and mop at the same time. Not to mention being able to move from room to room without a cord to plug in. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesnt like high pile carpet. Which is really hard to find in a vaccum. It does just about everything else. And the self cleaning cycle is even more impressive! For us clean freaks this is the perfect tool!

I'd like to give this a complete 5 stars, however, there is a higher pitched whirring noise that comes from the brush area I believe. I'm not sure if this is a normal noise but given how it has cleaned so far, I'm going to go with I can live with it. It feels sturdy and with after cleaning care and maintenance, I think it will last a while. I'd like to see more power from the battery. This model is cordless which swayed part of my decision to buy. The price could be better. So far, it has a done a fantastic job of cleaning the downstairs floors and the smaller carpets around the house.
