Very good performance
I have wood floors which I cant mop or use the steam mop on, ive used just a vacuum on it for the 6 months ive lived here and it just doesnt feel like it is clean. They arent sealed floorboards and it states on the bottles of formula not to use it on unsealed floors but I used it tactically pulsing the formula onto the mop brush as to not soak the surface as a maintenance wash and daily I will use it as a dry mop! The only things that I can say make this product imperfect is the cord, if the cord gets in the way you have to lift it up and over ...Read more
the cord and doing so causes the cut off valve to initiate inside the dirty water tank, and also you have to clean the filter after every use and let dry for 24hrs, if its not dry for the next use then you have to go without until its dry (winter rainy weather can cause problems with the drying of it) im looking into buying a spare filter for it but yeah, in a nutshell its a great machine for wooden floors but if you have tiles id still have a steam cleaner at hand because if you have a tough job on the grout this machine wont do, it will clean the surface but if the grout is stained or has build up of tough grime you will meed a steam cleaner then you would use this machine to maintain and refresh.Similar opinion?

Miserable Service-No Product or Stock Knowledge
Today I tried to order a Bissell Crosswave Pet from the Bissel Outlet Shop in Victoria. As the order did not pass through the checkout I had to ring the Bissell Customer Service. Speaking to a consultant it was clear to me that the female customer service person did not have a clue about the Bissell products and about the stock situation. It lately happens that outsourced service support personnel does not have any product knowledge nor the knowledge about accounts. In my case, the consultant was hopeless and was not able to proceed with my ord...Read more
er resulting in the cancellation of my order for $445. If Bissell can afford to lose customers that is fine with me but I am sure it is not in the interest of the management of the company. Maybe it would be better to have a local in-house product customer support that understands plain English and would be able to assist the customer to order the right product and do the purchasing proceedings. Bissell, you lost me as a customer!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Time saver
I am very happy with this product, I no longer have to vacuum first and then follow through with a mop and bucket. I did have the vax floor cleaner but it broke down so I replaced it with the cross wave.
The machine is light and easy to use, the dirty water goes into a seperate container for easy emptying. I have three dogs and a cat so I generally mop every second day. This machine picks up all dirt/fur while mopping so my floors are done in half the time.
It doesn’t reach under all my furniture so I do need to use a mop in these areas but for daily cleaning it’s perfect

Not so perfect as coed is too small
Hi, I just bought this recently as I have a 2 year old at home and it’s easy as it mops n vaccumes at the same time but unfortunately the cord was so small it was not covering even 1/4 if our living room and we don’t have enough PowerPoints to cover foot path and other parts of living area and as we bought it online we dint know how to use it and it was leaking all dirty water after some time then we went to store for demonstration but even then we were not happy as the main purpose is to clean our white tiles it was not useful for us so trying to give it back unfortunately.

Cleans the floor but poor cleaning under things
This vacuume cleaner dose a great job on the carpet but is extremely difficult if you want to do under things as it dose not go low enough. The sucktion is good and cleans up even dirt but just sucks around and under things. The cord also is a tad short

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
It works great in the middle of your floors. If that's all you want clean. Doesn't go around furniture, doesn't go under furniture, and doesn't get around edges. It sucks. It does pick up and do area rugs. That's about all it's good for. Use your vacuum and buy a Ocedar Spin Mop. Then you can get all the dirt.

Does a GREAT job, Significant time saver.
Have used the Crosswave on our Tiled Kitchen and Bathroom Floors GREAT job. Also polished timer floors, what a time saver. The only issues are (1) the machine is a bit noisy but is not of great concern. Also does not clean right up to the edge of walls and Cupboards this task has to be done with a mop but considering the area cleaned the edges are insignificant. Great cleaning job and easy to clean brushes and change for varying floor types. Saves double handling with Vacuum then clean with Buckets etc. VERY HAPPY with this appliance SO FAR.

Fantastic
I’m in love with it! I moved into a new home, this machine does carpets in the bedrooms perfectly
which I dreaded as I hate carpets then I just keep going over the tiles, then over the wooden floors. It’s a miracle. The floors a beautiful and clean. Then the rest of the week I just give a quick sweep until I am ready to give another wash of the floors.

Great Product!
It saves so much time, I don't need to vacuum and then mop. The only negative is that it does not go right to the edges, which at times you need to wipe the edges. I use it everyday over tiles and rugs. There is not a lot of water left on the floor and it is ready to walk on in minutes, which is another plus.

Brilliant
This product performs brilliantly it has fantastic suction, easy to maneuver. I did an area of approx 100 sq mtrs on about 2 fills of water bottle. I purchased it yesterday & have used it twice already both on tiled floor & our rugs. We have 2 German Shepherds who wander in & out as they please with red muddy feet & shed hair daily so you can imagine the mess. The crosswave cleaned it all up perfectly in one easy go usually I have to vacuum then mop this is just so easy thanks Bissell

Game changer!
Used it once and I’m pretty sure this is a game changer! I did a very quick pre-vac but realised quickly it really wasn’t necessary. Suction is great, floors come up squeaky clean, plus it could pick up things my stick vac couldn’t (like sequins.) Once you’ve read the instructions once everything is straightforward and simple. Cleaning is easy and not as yuck as I might have anticipated. Machine can dry out amply so there’s is no residual damp smell.
It has a few drawbacks in my opinion: you need to carry the cord because it gets in the way...Read more
, it missed about an inch around the walls, you can’t get under things as well as you might like (although no problem getting under something like a dining table) and it’s loud. Plus, the Bissell solution that you have to use to keep your warranty is really expensive for how quickly you’d go through it. I’m just going to use hot water though and am confident that will suffice most of the time. None of these drawbacks are significant I think. For anyone who has trouble finding the time to vac then mop, and for anyone with pets or young kids, I think the Crosswave serves its purpose really well.Similar opinion?

Crosswave review
I love that I purchased this machine. Had it a few months and my carpet and floors have never stayed so clean. I have used it on my carpets and tile floors. Also have used it on my buddies hardwood floors and rugs. He had a rug outside that had been stained for years. Took me a couple times to go over it, but the stains were pretty much all gone. The stains didn't come out 100%, but you had to truly stare at it to realize any were there. And these stains that you could see was from mud that had been on the rug for years. The only issue I have f...Read more
ound is how often you have to change the water and empty out the dirt and water trap. I haven't dealt with any streak issues like some have stated. And the fact that I can shampoo the carpets every couple weeks has kept my carpet soft and fluffy.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

HAPPY CUSTOMER
The performance of this crosswise is exceptional, if you think you have clean wooden floors, think again! This machine certainly works hard, and is one of the best floor cleaners I have ever used. You will never use a mop and bucket again. We use it on our tiles under the pergola, on our carpets and in the tiled areas of the bathrooms.
I have wooden floors, ceramic tiles and carpet and my house is huge.
It is easy to use, light and extremely functional.
Very very happy with this crosswise, and I am sure you will be too when you purchase it.

Marvellous Product
Stop press, don't buy any steam or floor cleaner before you check out the Bissell Crosswave it is the best invention for a floor cleaner it just makes work so easy and the floor so shiny from the first time and I can't fault any of its performances either on the hard floor or on rugs ... but be careful not to use it on carpets ... I found that you can do so if you buy the brush only attachment and clean the dirty water tank twice while cleaning 3 bedrooms

Perfect product for my requirements
I had read a lot of positive reviews about the Bissel Crosswave, made the leap and purchased one. It was simple to assemble and my package included 3 types of cleaners and spare rug and floor brushes. It works a treat, is easy to use and manoeuvre. It would be great to have a bigger tank but given how compact it is having bigger tanks would have made it heavier. It is as noisy as a vacuum cleaner.
The beauty of the system is the vacuum and wash in one step - the post use cleanup is not onerous. I was surprised at how dirty my floors were and...Read more
how clean they now are. Before the Bissel when I wiped up a spill it was clear that the floor wasn't as clean is it could be. This doesn't happen after using the Bissel. I used it on vinyl flooring, rugs and freshening the carpet (although it is not apparently meant for carpet cleaning). Revolutionises floor cleaning. .Similar opinion?

I love my bissel cross wave
Since purchasing this last year the floors have never been cleaner. It’s amazing to look at how dirty the collected water is after washing a seemingly clean floor.
I was convinced it was the perfect machine for me after seeing video reviews of it sucking up a broken egg. It really can handle just about any situation on a hard floor.
The unit is designed to clean mainly hard floors and low pile area rugs. The two settings on the handle are rug and hardfloor, the only difference being that it pumps more cleaning solution out when you have it ...Read more

upright vacumm with cord price around $78

I paid over $400 hope not lol. If it is a crosswave (mop vac) grab it. Let me know where is so, I’ll buy another one
Cheers
Corinna G.asked
does it leave streaks on high closs (very shiny) tiles?
2 answers
I haven’t used it on shiny tiles. My experience is that it doesn’t leave streaks if you don’t put in too much cleaning solution and you refill the reservoir with fresh water and solution before it is completely empty. The key is using the right amount of an appropriate cleaning solution.
thank you, will keep that in mind if i get one (soon)
