Finally decided to spend the money and try the CrossWave as I have trouble with my back and using my hands and mopping was hard. I have mainly hardwood and tile floors. 2 dogs and 2 cats in this household. While I won't throw out my vacuum and suggest pre-vacuuming the bare floors of pet hair and dirt (I use a light-weight cordless sweeper), the vacuum part of this still lifted hair and dirt missed by vacuum. Mopping was very easy to do and I did grow to really like it by the end of my first use. Fill the tank with warm water and solution and off you go. Hardwood had no streaks and floors dried quickly. The mop roller was not that hard to clean. Put some clean water in the storage pan and turn the unit on. It washes off the roller. Lift the clear top plate and remove the clean roller and it stores on the storage pan. Rinse the other parts and let dry then replace. I did moan at first that the cord attached to the unit at floor level but then discovered there was a small clip in the handle to hook the cord on. I even did a test on carpet with the normal cleaning roller. While it didn't clean the carpet like a rug cleaner would I did manage to lift the spot. Instead of using the solution-water over and over, I used a spray bottle of plain water and the CrossWave to lift the water from the carpet. For an older person or someone with a hurting shoulder, the unit is a bit heavier than a normal stick-vacuum but better than having to mop and wring. The unit head was just slightly to wide to fit between the toliet and wall in one bathroom but did in another. I also have a Bissell Steam and Sweep that steam mops and vacuums and the CrossWave is a far better product to spend your money on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used to vacuum our floors and rugs every other day (pets, walking in from the garden, etc. ). When we used the CrossWave for the first time, we were very surprised at how much dirt came up! Yikes! We are buying a second one for our relatives.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OMG!!!! I can't believe how awesome this CrossWave is. I am not young anymore and was worried it might be too heavy. I am here to tell you OIT not heavy at all and is easy to use. A real eye opener is how much dirt this picks up. My floors didn't look that dirty but the CrossWave proved me wrong!!! Awesome product!!! D Clark, Texas #sweepstakes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely understand why all the women have been raving about this. It worked so good on stuck spots that I usually have to get a rag to. The not having to sweep beforehand. The drying it up. It was just SO GOOD. I've never been so excited to clean my floors now ❤

If you started with a reasonably spotless floor, this could be the product for you. For me this product was great in theory, but wasn't that great in scrubbing spots. I found even when I went over spots over and over, I still had to go over them with my steam mop. I sent it back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a family member who is incontinent of bowel and bladder. I daily need to clean up after accidents. The Cross wave has made that job infinitely easier.and faster. It was worth every penny I spent on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a toddler. The cross wave wet cleaning does the trick. It cleans with clean water, scrubs the sticky spots, and vacuums up the dirty liquid and solids alike with ease. Some have noted there is a little cleanup to do after as being a downside but I find it very easy and fast. I also appreciate the capacity to clean my entire house without needing to refill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My home has 3 types of flooring: hardwood, laminate wood flooring, and tile. This little Vac really cleaned my entire house in an hour, with no need to manually mop the floor afterwards. My hardwood floors are from the 1950's and have cracks between the planks. This vacuum really got the floor cleaned, even the cracks. I was amazed at the amount of debris in the dirty water tank, since we also have a new Rainbow vacuum that we use regularly. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering this type of product. The reviews can't really do it justice.

This was a Christmas gift so I have only used once but so far as I can tell this machine is going to be a great addition to my life. Love that I only need one machine to vacuum and scrub the kitchen and bathroom floors. Would recommend to anyone who desires any easier solution to cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors.

I found it very easy to use. I suffer from back pain and it doesn't help that I have OCD and having clean floors is a must. I also have 2 dogs and a messy child and hubby. :) With a press of a button, you select hardwood or carpet. The solution release button is at the handle grip so it's super easy to release solution on first pass and suction on second pass. The cord didn't get under my skin as I thought it would, and considering I did my entire home, floors and area rugs, it took me just under an hour. I even did my Persian rugs and the amount of dirt it picked up was unbelievable. The version I got has the carpet roller and the multipurpose floor roller. I used both. All in all, it's worth every penny!
