[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a one year old learning how to feed herself, I didn't want to have to get down and scrub the floors everyday. And a simple sweep was just not cutting it. I was at a loss, that is until I had the opportunity to test out the CrossWave HydroStream from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This vacuum was exactly what I was looking for. First, I appreciated its versatility. I don't want to have to store three products when one will do. And this machine does just that. Its various settings allow me to go from the hardwood floor, to the tile, to the area rugs all in one shot. Now, for the set up. Because of the type of machine this is and the added features from a traditional vacuum, it did take more set up then simply taking it out of the box and plugging it in. But not much more. The instructions were thorough and clear. I was able to follow along and start steaming in about 20 minutes. The self cleaning cycle was equally simple to navigate and execute. Which for a busy mom, is a must. I don't have time to sit down and take everything apart, clean the parts, and the assemble it again. Now for the results, I was pleasantly surprised and the level of clean this machine was able to achieve even with the first pass over the surfaces. My floors have never been so clean! Now, to be sure, if there is a bit of truly stuck on food, you will still probably have to get on your hands and knees to clean, but this machine takes care of the vast majority of your everyday messes. And I will always chose to spot clean one or two spots rather than the whole floor, so this wasn't a deal breaker for me. The only slight downside to this machine is the noise when it was running. It was just a little too loud to run during nap time. Overall, I appreciate the ease and multi-functionality of this machine and will continue to use it to keep my floors as clean as they can be with a one year old learning to feed herself!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't believe how shocked I was to receive a product that cleans AND isn't an eyesore. I found it to be easy to setup and fairly intuitive to use. It was comfortable for myself (5'7 woman) and my husband (6'0 man) to use. I was pleased with the quality of the products used to make this appliance and I would consider my standards for purchases to be fairly high. I have two young children and a golden retriever so a clean floor is a constant battle and a necessity for me! Can I get a whoop whoop for an anti-tangle brush roll and a self-cleaning cycle?!?!? If I had to choose between this product and another product that performed similarly, I would choose this one based upon aesthetics. I absolutely love the rose-gold/copper color that they used to accentuate their machine. It definitely gave me a higher end feel and not racing to shove it out of eyesight as soon as I could! The only con that I have found is that I wish that there was a more organized way to store all of the gear. I like my house to be organized and I felt like I would need to find a solution to store everything. Overall, I would recommend this item without hesitation. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to enjoy this amazing product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this a few weeks ago. Although I have only used it once it was extremely easy to use. I was grossed out and satisfied all at the same time with the dirty tank compartment. The strainer/hair catcher makes it super easy to clean out the compartment. And the Bissell solution with febreeze smells amazing. #sweepstakes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I have to thank Bissell for providing me with this product for free in exchange for leaving my review. This Bissell campaign was offered to me thru the BzzAgent Program. I struggle constantly trying to keep my floors and area rugs clean because we have a young Shih Tzu puppy that is in the process of being potty trained and still has accidents. The instructions were simple, and the vacuum required very little assembly. This machine cleans, steams, and vacuums at the same time. Perfect addition to my home which has sealed hard wood floors, ceramic tile, and several area rugs. I was amazed at just how dirty my area rug was. Not only did it do an excellent job at cleaning, but it removed odors, as well as dog hair. I no longer need several machines for cleaning. I absolutely love the self-cleaning cycle this machine has. After use, just place it in its tray with some formula and press the self-cleaning button to get your roller clean and ready for the next use. This amazing machine does it all! Excellent quality and works extremely well. I couldn't be happier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is so great! The ease of using it is the biggest selling point for me. It is versatile and in a fast paced lifestyle it's an essential product. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for an efficient cleaning tool to add to their inventory!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive a free Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam Plus Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vac through BzzAgent. I eagerly awaited its arrival because I had heard great things about Bissell products. When I finally tried this vacuum, it did not disappoint. My house is all hardwood floors with area rugs adorning some rooms. This product was an effective multi-surface cleaner that could be used in every setting. The steam-powered vacuum cleaned grime and spots that would be not necessarily be addressed in a regular cleaning. The vacuum itself was easy to use and I loved how you could change settings (steam, hardwood, and rug) so quickly. One of the most unique parts of the vacuum was it ability to clean and then suction up the water. It is so inventive how it is able to clean in a variety of ways, leaving little mess behind. I realized after using this vacuum how much I missed cleaning with my old methods. The floors looked amazing and it was definitely the type of cleaning needed in a house that gets a lot of tracking of dirt. With two kids and two cats, this vacuum makes it possible to give the floors a deep clean in a short time. With one child that has asthma, this vacuum will help get rid of cat dander and other allergens that can cause irritability. I am so thankful that I got to try this Bissell vacuum free product. Although the first cleaning took a little extra time to understand the mechanics of the product and proper cleaning/storing after usage, the directions made this learning process easy. I would definitely recommend this vacuum to others and I look forward to trying other Bissell products after this positive experience. The innovation behind this vacuum allows for a professional clean every time. This will definitely make cleaning floors in my house easier and more effective.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm thankful to the Stellar product testing panel for proving me this wet and dry vacuum. I have really enjoyed having this as a busy mom of 2 and 2 dogs. It's pretty rad that I can't just clean the floor and don't have to sweep before I mop. I was surprised with how much gunk and dirt that it picked up. We often times eat around the counter in our kitchen so it can get pretty messy with a toddler eating and preparing meals. The wet/dry vacuum was able to tackle all these messes quickly and efficiently. Although my dogs aren't shedding much they are like velcro to dust and this thing does such a great job picking it all up! I was so impressed with how easily it glides on hardwood floors while cleaning. It also moves from hardwood to my throw rugs in an instant. And you can switch between modes or just keep it on steamwash. All in all I'm very impressed and excited to clean my floors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First the unboxing: Upon first glance I could tell this is a very sturdy and well made product. Included are three 8 oz mini bottles. 1.Multi-surface cleaner 1.Hard floor sanitizer 1.Cleaning cycle formula to rinse the brush. An extra dust filter is also included. Vacuum performance: I am very satisfied on how well this vacuum picks up direct, large debris, cleans stains on hard floors. It is very easy to maneuver and has a generous amount of power cord. Switching between hard floors, carpet/rugs or cleaning formula is a breeze, just press the button located on the handle. Compared to my much pricier battery powered stick vacuum, I can honestly say this vacuum does just as well if not better! Pros: 1)Vacuum easily switches between hard floors, rugs, carpet, wet or dry mode at the press of a button. 2)Vacuum features are very user friendly and easy to learn. 3)Trash bin is very easy to remove and dump in trash can. It also includes a strainer to separate larger debris. This is very useful when using the cleaning formula. 4) Vacuum works great on wet mode to mop hardwood floors and freshen up carpets/rugs. Note: this is not a deep cleaner like those commercial carpet steamers but more of a carpet/rug refresher. 5) Bright LED light. Cons: 1)Vacuum has a hefty weight to it, so if you have a large area or home to clean it can be a good workout. 2)Vacuum is loud, which I guess would be expected for a machine this size. 3) Washing the parts after every use can become a chore. Especially when having to clean the bin, filter, brush, formula dispenser. 4) While It's uncertain how long the brush is expected to last due to the soft material you can prepare to purchase additional brushes. 5) If you plan to use the wet mode to clean floors and freshen up rugs/carpet's be prepared to invest in more bottles of solution. Final thoughts: Personally I feel it's a wonderful all in one product! If only it had vacuum hose to clean hard to reach places it would perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item through the Stellar product testing panel. I had been looking for a multi surface floor cleaner, but many of the other models/brands that I had seen were much more clunky. I love that this has a smaller footprint when it comes to storage, and it's light enough to use throughout our multi level home, without struggling to take it up and down the stairs. I previously had a steam mop, which I loved, but this is great when you want a deep clean on the hard floors, and it also does a great job on our area rugs. We do not have carpet in our house, so I love that it is versatile enough to use on both our hard surfaces and our rugs to maintain cleanliness throughout our home. The different options for cleaning solutions was also a plus.
