I bought this to clean the area rug in my family room. The walking path and the area between the couch and the coffee table gets dirty quickly. A professional cleaner charged $300 to clean the entire rug. This machine is marvelous! It does a superior job quickly and dries quickly. I have since used it on my tile floors and love it. I only use it occasionally because it takes some time for the parts to dry out after each use. I am sure I am not using it to it's potential.

Am I the only person that thinks that cleaning this thing out is disgusting? I am a DIY mom, not afraid of getting my hands dirty but after vacuuming/mopping just my kitchen and one decent sized area rug, the collection bin was full. And it was a disgusting mix of hair and dirty water. I then had to wash the hair out of the container with the hose, dry it, put it all back together...and go back to the next of seven rooms. I presume I would have to empty it every time. I don't have an excessively dirty house but I do have a golden retriever who is a little messy and has long hair but I think that spending 20+ minutes cleaning out the tank between each room is not a time saving. And it's gross. I think I'll return this and just go back to vacuuming the hole house and then mopping the whole house. But I'm really disappointed because I thought this would cut my floor cleaning time in half.

I really liked the versatility of use over wood and area rugs But the holding tank mixes the wet and dry for disposal and it makes a disgusting mess that takes more time to clean out than it's worth. It's not cheap and I spend more time cleaning it to keep it functioning properly than I do using it.

I was amazed at how well it cleaned our hard wood, tile, and linoleum floors around the house. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and hairballs are always everywhere, but this unit vacuumed the floors very well and cleaned well. The dirty water tank was definitely dirty and cleaned very well to where I could walk around barefoot and not have black feet. The device swivels for ease of use and is fairly light weight. It was easy to assemble out of the box and worked well. I only had trouble around the toilet areas in the bathrooms because the device was too wide to clean in that general area. You also have to clean a lot of pieces when you're done, such as rinsing the vacuum filter, draining and rinsing the dirty water tank, draining and rinsing the solution tank, and removing and rinsing the brush to keep it clean, but it is also fairly easy cleaning so it's not too bad. Overall it is a great product.

After cleaning ceramic tile the 1st time and emptied the dirty water, I immediately cleaned the floor again for the 2nd time with a new brush and water still came out dirty. Still may keep only due to back issues. Does anyone have any ideas? Other products?

I love this machine. It sweeps and mops at the same time. It saves me so much time. I cannot say enough good things about this machine. It's easy to load, it's easy to clean, it's easy to operate. All you have to do is pour the cleaning solution and water in the one container and click it in, then turn it on and sweep and mop your floors. This thing is great!!! I absolutely love it.

The cord comes from the bottom of the machine so it must be picked up and held or it tangles up in the spin roller. The machine picks up dirt and kitty litter from the floor very nicely but if you are using the wash feature you create mud and or cement in the waste receptacle which is pretty yucky. I still have to go over the floor to scrub off tough spots. Wet pet hair gets trapped in the mechanism of the filter and also in the intake area of the floor attachment.

Bissell Crosswave multi-surface wet dry vac is wonderful. I have had many vacs before and this actually cleans the surface of Tile and picks up everything in is path. I was pleasantly surprised. I. would recommend this product to anyone that finds it difficult to clean hard surfaces. The best part of it is it's light weight and easy to use. Thanks Bissell.

When you use your Bissell Crosswave 1st- Vacuum, then 2nd- pour your solution into the machine to the line water first then the solution. This solution is so powerful, I had to use less solution and more water it works sooooo good. My carpet came so clean I can see the difference. Yes I recommend that you buy you a Bissell Crosswave.

As a fifty plus year fan of Rainbow vacuums, discovering the Bissell CrossWave All-in-one was a dream come true. The Bissell is much lighter and easier to use as a floor washer than the Rainbow. Of course, I'll keep my Rainbow for the big tough jobs.
