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.

I love the way it cleans the floors but it doesn't get all the way to the egde. I still need a mop to clean near the baseboards. Overall it's fantastic! If bissel could improve on the edge cleaning, it would be even better!! Thanks Bissell for a really good product!!

Machine is easy to use a does a reasonable job cleaning. It is so loud, however that even though we have a 3-story home, my family will not stay in the house if I turn this on. No have several other Bissell hard wood floor cleaners. This one is the easiest to use but will likely return it because it is so annoyingly loud.

My wife goes over the kitchen floor with a Swiffer Wet-Mop almost daily, and the floor looks clean. But the first time we used the CrossWave on the kitchen floor, it picked up dirt that we couldn't see -- we couldn't believe how dark the water in the dirty water tank was. The floor looks almost new again. We have two small children and want them to be able to run and play on a clean floor.

I vacuumed my rugs with my old vaccume first. I have two large dogs that shed a lot. Boy that was a waste of my time! My new crosswave picked up close to FIVE POUNDS of dirt and dog hair from one room! I threw my old vaccume out. No more wasted time for me!! Thanks Bissel!!

I live in a desert climate and have mostly tiled floors. This machine is a whiz at cleaning the tile and grout - picked up more dirt than other competitive products on the market and I've tried most because I'm a neat freak and I like to walk around the house barefoot. Cleaning is a snap and I love the fact that the roller brush pops out and I can rinse it in the sink if I want to. Good suction too...floors dry within a minute or two. Only drawback is it doesn't get close to the baseboards, but a quick wipe with a cloth does the trick. That may be a little extra work but the rest of the floors are cleaned VERY quickly and easily which makes up for the manual wiping of the baseboards. And now I can do a quick cleaning of the high traffic areas in the area rugs too without a hassle. I feel the floors have never been cleaner ! The dirty water in the intake tank is visual evidence.

I bought the crosswave in June because I was having surgery on my hand with a nine month recovery. I really love Bissell products and have had many but this one is unimpressive! It's more work cleaning it up after you use it then it is to sweep and mop. If I could send it back for a refund I sure would!

I bought this and I am not impressed. I think the competitive Floormate has a lot more cleaning power, especially along baseboards. Even with pre-cleaning dog hair with a vacuum, I find clumps of wet dog hair left behind. I also prefer the spinning scrub brush heads on the competitor cleaner. If there is something dried on the floor, I often have to wipe it up by hand when using this floor cleaner. I uses a lot less water, which is beneficial to wood flooring

I received my Crosswave yesterday. It shipped very quicklyand I was excited when I received it. The process of putting it together was very easy & quick. I read the manual and off I went on the living room tile. The whole cleaning process was so simple and easy that I did every floor in the house!!! Now I ran out of floors and could do a bunch more. I absolutely LOVE this machine. Best money I ever spent!

I LOVE the concept and functionality. HOWEVER, it falls apart quickly. I just ordered my 3rd foot assembly (the part the covers the brush roller). I have only owned my crosswave for about a year and a half. That is not the only replacement part I have had to order either. It works great when it works, but the parts don't last long!! I owned a Symphony before this and was excited when they came out with a mop/vacuum option. I have a full house (lots of kids and pets) and we are constantly cleaning up messes. Just really wish it was more durable and I wasn't constantly having to replace parts!!
