I wanted to give it a while of using before I reviewed, and now I can say that I TOTALLY LOVE THIS THING for my linoleum flooring! I bought this after the Bissel steam mop I got for Xmas back in '10/'11 (when it first came out and hubby got the hint that it was in his best interest to stand in line to make my day) fell over and the handle shattered, and was using the spin mop I had until I decided that anything that made the hated chore of mopping of the floor easier for my piece of mind was worth the price. I also bought a second set of mop heads because I have 2 dogs and enjoy doing laundry just slightly more than cleaning floors. Anyhoo, when it arrived it was really easy to put together and I kicked the hellhounds... errr, furbabies... out of the house to give it a whirl. First thing I noticed is that the vac does not have powerful enough suction to pick up the larger bits of dog food off the floor, but that's fine because I'm used to having to sweep up all the leaves and twigs and nature-y type things they drag in anyway. After a good sweeping I was off. First pass forward I used the vac to suck up any hair/dust/whatever before holding the button for the max steam, then back and forth twice before moving it over to lather/rinse/repeat. After I went over the whole floor I looked at the pad, and whew-wee... DIS-GUST-ING! I tossed that pad into the washer and put a new one on for another pass... and while not as black as the first one it was still really gross. At this point I side-eyed the back-up spin mop that was now destined for the trash (and the door that was keeping my dirt loving trolls outside), then put a third pad on and refilled the reservoir for another go. Still pretty grungy, but definitely not as gross. I was beginning to wonder if I was pulling dirt out of the floor that was ground in before we even bought the place 20 years ago. Stuck a 4th pad on and decided to go for one more round. Finally I felt I had the floor clean enough, and was able to uncurl my toes from grossing out at what my feet had been walking on when I THOUGHT my floor was clean *shutter*. Luckily it was dry outside so I didn't have to also give the dogs a bath when they came back in. After mentioning to the family that I had mopped the floor they commented that it was "oohh... soft and smooth" on their bare feet, though I don't know if that was just because they wanted to make me feel good to prevent me from telling them to do it next time. Anyway, overall it gets a toes up from me. Yes, the vac is loud... it's a vac on a hard floor. Yes, the suction is not as powerful as a standard vacuum... this is not a household vacuum, but a chance to suck up the little bits that don't mop up before they get waterlogged. Yes, it takes a bit of effort to move it back and forth... but considering I like the option of having it sit and steam the heck out of spots that are sticky or engrained, I wouldn't want a self propelled option. Is it worth the price? Well, I've never had to use 4 pads in one day again so...

This machine has changed my house-cleaning and taken it to a whole new level. I have angled tile with wood-grooves so with two dogs and a toddler running around, there has been a bunch of muck build-up everywhere. I always dreaded mopping my floors until we got this beauty. Assembly was a tad on the difficult side, most likely user-error though. Registration was a pain in the fact that the Bissell manual said the model/registration numbers should be on the back which it wasn't. I finally found it behind the vacuum canister on the inside of the unit. This baby is on the heavier side which is nice because it adds to the weight on the steam pads. I do not struggle moving it from upstairs to downstairs (I'm 29 and slightly fit). Refilling the water tank isn't all that bad. Love that it comes with a refill cup that easily sits on the hand when its full, it takes A LOT of cleaning to empty it (so I just fill it half way up to cover my hallway, living room, dining room and kitchen three times over). Changing the pads is easy too, however a few of them shrunk when washed (I bought extras on Amazon before they shrunk) but they still fit the panel when stretched over it. The chord is standard, nothing positive or negative about it. I don't mind that it is non-retractable, therefore it has to be raveled around the hooks. The buttons are easily accessible once your fingers learn them. The vacuum power is impressive as it will suck up a heavier piece of debris from an inch away (such as sticky cheerios or dry dog kibbles in the corners and sides). When pulling back the steam mop after a combo-vacuum/steaming, there is no hair/dust build-up so it's sucking up all the stuff quite nicely. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that it's a vacuum/steam mop combo. I know it's silly to say, but it really does make cleaning so much faster and easier. It is super easy to turn on/off the vacuum when needed and to disconnect the steamer panel to use the vacuum on carpet. I personally do not do this since I vacuum the rugs and carpets daily with our Dyson. One of my favorite things is that this unit stands up on its own!! It is so very convenient to stand it up really quick to move a chair or some kids/dog toys and continue on. If I could afford to buy this for every one of my family members and friends, I would.

Let me start by saying I LOVE this product. I have all tile floors with two large, shedding dogs and a ton of sand and grass in the yard. All of this used to equal daily sweeping, a lot of vacuuming, and mopping - although I never found anything that didn't just push dirty water around the floor. Enter the Symphony Pet. I'd been eyeing hard floor cleaners for some time, and the all in one vacuum prospect was just too much to pass up. But I must confess that a Roomba also entered the scene at the same time. So my routine is now to let the Roomba vacuum the majority of things up and I follow up with the Bissell every few days. It's the perfect combo. The Bissell doesn't balk at sucking up dog hair, grass, dirt etc., but I also don't have to vacuum the entire house with it. I tried doing the whole house once with just the Bissell and it did pick everything up, but the tank filled up quickly (did I mention a LOT of dog hair?), and having to do both at the same time still made me a little crazy (if you're going to mop, you have to vacuum first or the dog hair just get wet and pushed around). That's not the products fault, but just know that this doesn't save that much time in the end. What I love: nice long cord, good suction, ability to quickly suck up dirt right before I steam mop, the steam mop itself - left my floors so clean!, steam starts up quickly, and it rolls over the floor really easily in both modes What I don't love: mop doesn't really allow for scrubbing - you do have to do several passes on stickier messes to get it loose, and the Swiffer disposable wet pads that come with it for "throw away messes" didn't do much to help in a pet accident - they're not absorbent so it's not acting as a true "mop" (had to clean first, but was happy to be able to steam clean afterward)

We received our copy of this Vac/Steam unit just a few days ago and, so far - so good. We have two autistic kids, one 7 and one 5 year old and the two of them can make meal time... well, it sometimes looks like someone threw a grenade into a buffet table by the time we're all done eating - food gets everywhere, three times a day. Clean up with this thing has been much quicker and more efficient than by any other means we've employed to date. The vacuum has sufficient power to pick up most anything that I call "UFO's" (unidentifiable floor objects) be they small and sticky or otherwise. What the vacuum does not pick up is simply "mopped" with the steam function and to good effect, I might add. Combining the two functions is a stroke of genius. Clean out is simple enough as you just pull the collection cup and dump the contents out through the hinged bottom; the trick "plunger" action with the pre-filter helps too. The washable filter and other collection bin components are such a 'nice to have' that I now call it a necessity - just dump, rinse, dry and you're ready for another round of ruminatory mayhem. Why this thing gets four stars instead of five is that we have concerns about the robustness certain aspects of this item's construction. The locking tabs which hold the mop plate under the machine, in particular, seem like a potential weak point. They are made of plastic and not metal. Also, as with other stick vacs we've tried, the "neck" or coupling which connects the cleaner head to the vacuum body does not seem overly sturdy. Experience with similar units has shown fatigue failures at this point and there is no effective way to repair a break there. We've thrown away units that still ran as well as the day we bought them because, after a while, the plastic at the head/body junction has cracked from the daily stresses these units are exposed to under normal use. At a lower price for single function vac units, one can argue that such latent disposability can be lived with up to a point but this unit's cost raises the reliability bar in order to make it a competitive value. These concerns are conjecture at this point, of course; only time will tell. While we do take care and are not abusive with anything, we certainly do put an appliance like this to substantial use at our house; the weak will not make the cut. At this price point, I will be waiting for a while before handing over that last star. If the machine is still in service after most of a year, it could certainly be called a great value. At six moths of daily service I should well lose any buyers remorse and the machine will keep the current, four star, standing. A failure before that will get a downgrade. A timely update(s) to this review will be pending. UPDATE - Well... after more than six months, this thing is still going strong. Nothing has broken or failed. The washable filter has been great (I clean ours regularly) and we've only had to replace it once after all this vac has been through. I consider this unit, this cleaning system, to be a very good value. Five stars. :)

2024 Update: we now have 4 dogs and a kid and this thing is still going strong!! For reference, we bought it in 2018! Update 2: one day it suddenly stopped steaming...the filter or something was clogged. Easy fix. Update: I have had it for like six months now and I still love it. It works exactly as it did new. Steaming: This function is great. It can remove some of the hard spots with just water. Sometimes, and I mean itβs rare, I have to spray a spot with some cleaner for it to come up. I live in a one bedroom apartment with three dogs. We like to be outdoors and go on adventures which inevitably means there will be mid and gunk on my floors. This thing handles all our mess. In the kitchen, I had a few cooking stains I couldnβt get up with a swifter mop. First time using this thing and no more stain. If I remember correctly it was a sugar based glaze that had been heated to look like glass on the stove. Vacuum: I donβt even sweep anymore. Like I said, three dogs and lots of dirt and this handles it all. Iβll include a picture of my flooring and my dirty dogs for reference. It gets pretty bad. The suction gets up any and all loose particles and the steam and pad takes care of the rest! Efficiency: I can do my floors in like 1/3 the time I was previously able to do them. The vacuum cuts out sweeping time and the steam mop helps not have to go over and over messy areas for them to be clean. This is a wonderful steamer mop combo. The only complaint I would have is that it sometimes leaves a few streaks. But overall the quality is great and it does such an amazing job. I have linoleum floors and it is amazing.

I read so many glowing reviews that I was excited to receive it and try it out. First off, my floors are all 24" porcelain tiles, and were not overly dirty. I have 2 small dogs so I get pet-hair dust bunnies if I don't stay on top of the vacuuming. After trying it out with very poor results I went back and looked at the negative reviews. The problems I had were things that other reviewers mentioned. I only tried it with solo vacuuming and with the steam on high, and only tried it in my kitchen (tile). It just wasn't worth continuing. The photos were taken after making multiple passes with the vacuum on and steam on high. Was very disappointed and am returning it. PROS: > it arrived super fast and snapped together easily > the instructions were clear: when I didn't get steam I reread them, and held the trigger for a full 60 seconds. I heard the noise of it priming just as mentioned in the instructions, and then the steam came out. > it is light weight and was pretty easy to use CONS: > it took a couple of passes to suck up pretty much anything, so very poor suction > it left trails of dirt and pet hair and in a couple instances even left trails of dirty water droplets > the bristles at the front clumped with wet pet hair/dirt which I had to remove > it took several passes to remove even the smallest dirty areas that I would normally remove with a mop---where drops of liquid had splashed and then dirt stuck. I switched to the bristle pad but it still required multiple passes and I had to manually scrape anything that was the least bit dried. > I tried cleaning around the pet bowl with very poor results -- it didn't pick up small bits of food and even multiple passes didn't remove spills. > it did a poor job on the grout Like others have noted it did not perform either function well, so I would not recommend. I really love the idea of sanitizing the floors with steam, so I'll be looking for 2 separate products to vacuum and clean my tile. Amazon was great about the return and even made an exception to give me free return shipping on the extra mop pads I had bought for this product.

I have only had this for 2 weeks. So far i'ts great. I was looking for something to save time and be lightweight. The Symphony Pet vacuum mop is lightweight (about 10 lbs) and easy to use. I considered buying the Bissell Crosswave and looked at Shark and other vacuum mops. This was the only one that kept dry dirt and debris in a separate dry cup. The cup is easy to empty and is washable. I use the vacuum only first, then do a second round with vacuum and steam or just steam. I also like that it uses steam without a detergent. I used to sponge mop the floor and always had streaks. My laundry room has vinyl flooring and is where I keep cat litter pans. I used the Steamboost tray and disposable cloths to get the floor clean. I am happy with the result. I also have ceramic tile in the bathrooms and use high steam in there. They look great. This is so much faster than vacuum/sweep and then sponge mop. Some reviewers complained that it leaves streaks on floor. I bought extra pads and if the floor had a lot of dirt, I will mop it once, then replace the pad and mop it a second time. No streaks with a clean pad. A couple of things to be aware of: Cleaning the equipment: I did a lot of research before buying this. I recommend emptying the dirt cup after each vacuum. It helps avoid build up. Some reviewers said they had a lot of moisture in the dirt cup. I did find a little bit of moisture that made fine dust stick together, but it is easily cleaned. The wheels can easily pop off with a screwdriver. This allows you to push the wheel off the pin to get all the hair wound around the wheel. Then just pop them back on. Its easy to clean the filter on the dirt cup. Let it air dry 24 hours after washing before reuse. Steamboost disposable cloths are no longer available. Bissell only sells them in the kit (which includes the steamboost head) so its expensive. After some research I found that Swiffer and Bissell are owned by the same company. You can use Swiffer Wet pads as a replacement. They are not individually wrapped and some folks complained they have problems with shipping because the package breaks so you might want to buy them locally. The cloth mop pads are washable. Just throwing them in the washer doesn't seems to get out all the dirt. I soaked them in liquid clothes soap and baking soda for 30 minutes and rinsed them well, then threw them in the washer. Not bright white, but they do look okay. When not in use, store the vac mop on tile or put a tray underneath it so it doesn't leave a white spot on hardwood.

I tried 3 different mop vacuum combos. The Tineco iFloor, the Bissell Symphony Pet and the Bissell Crosswave Cordless Max. The Tineco was ok on hardwood floors. The water streaked when it came out of the device, which was frustrating because I didn't think it accurately covered the floors. The suction power was just ok. It did better on the hardwood....or maybe hardwood just hides dirt better, but after using the Tineco, my hardwoods felt clean under my feet. The truth was shown on my white slick tile, however. The Tineco could not pick up hairs off the floor no matter how many times I readdressed them. We have cats, so this is a problem for us. The TIneco would do OK with stuck on food after a few passes. Often I would just bend down and scrape the food with my fingernail a few times to release it and then the Tineco would clean it. The Tineco felt like pushing around a tin can. Clunky. It cannot lean back far enough to get under my coffee table, so I would need to move the table for cleaning. The maneuverability was stiff and I found myself often frustrated that it wouldn't move how I wanted it to. I did love that it is cordless and easy to grab and use all day long for quick pickup's, which is what made me look at the Bissell Crosswave Cordless Max. I would have kept the TIneco if it did better on my tile, but my kitchen is the most used room in the house and I need the tile to be able to look & feel clean. The Tineco iFLoor wasn't cutting it. The Bissell Symphony Pet works differently, since it is a steam mop. I will say that after using the Bissell Symphony...my floors felt the absolute cleanest! The steam feature lets you know that you are truly disinfecting. I have engineered hardwood floors. I took the Symphony to my sisters farmhouse and she has wide plank hardwoods that were designed to look old. The symphony was VERY HARD to push across her floors since the floors were not perfectly even. The Symphony cleaned my tile floors REALLY well. Out of the 3, the Symphony was most impressive on the tile. When it came to stuck on grime, I would just pause over that area and release the steam...then give it a few passes and it would come up. The suction powder of the Symphony is pretty impressive as well. Better than the Tineco iFloor, for sure! But that is not a surprise, since the Symphony is Corded and the TIneco is not. The Symphony would have been a winner...HOWEVER....ITS CORDED. And that just ruins everything! I was constantly feeling trapped to the wall and could not manuver around my home as quickly as I would like because of the dang cord. UGH! The maneuverability is much smoother than the Tineco...but that cord ruins everything because I was constantly bending back over to pick the cord up out of my way. The nail in the coffin for the symphony was when I went over a spill the kids had made, the Symphony picked It up no problem, but started spewing liquid out of the waste container. The container was practically empty, so overfilling it was NOT the problem. bummer! The Symphony made me really want a STEAM CLEANER in my Arsenault...but not a corded one. The Bissell Crosswave Cordless Max is the one I am sticking with. Yes, it is pricier than the other two...but worth it in my book because it combines the cordless convince of the Tineco with the cleaning power and maneuverability of the Symphony. I also really like how easy it is to clean out. This is where the Symphony also falls flat...because you have pads to wash, the waste bin is easy enough to clean out...but to fill the symphony with water you need to use their special filling cup, which tends to get lost around my house with 4 boys. The Crosswave and the TIneco allow you to pull the clean water jug out of the vacuum and fill it under the faucet which is much handier. The Crosswave does much better on my white tile floors than the TIneco! It is tied with the Symphony on tile, but their is something about that steam feature the Symphony has that just lets you KNOW that it is clean! But again, the cord kills it. The Crosswave has better suction than the TIneco...which should happen with the bigger price tag. I still think the Symphony has the overall best suction due to it being corded....but I need a Cordless grab and go option or it won't get used as often. The Crosswave has very pleasant maneuverability. It cannot lean back far enough to get under my coffee table, so I would need to move the table for cleaning. I think anything with onboard water won't be able to lean back super far....so I am getting use to it. The Crosswave cleaned my sisters farmhouse hardwoods great as well as my engineered hardwoods. My floors look and feel clean with the Crosswave....possibly even cleaner than using a broom and mop! I've read some negative reviews about the Crosswave crapping out around the 6 month mark, which really makes me nervose...but I am going to registrar the Crosswave with Bissell today to make sure I get their warranties on the product. If Bissell comes out with a vacuum/steam mop option that is cordless...they will prob get my money again! Hope this review was helpful to you!
