CrossWave OmniForce Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Mop, 3882

I splurged on a crosswave after surgery because I couldn’t lift my mop bucket - only to realize I have deprived myself for far too long. This machine is my best friend. We live in a subtropic environment. We have so much sand, and tropical downpours in the afternoons. Add kids and pets to the mix and my tile floors are always a disaster. I can’t afford to not clean them but bending to use the dustpan and lifting my spin mop bucket were no-go’s following surgery. We got the cross wave and tried it out the same day and I thought “this isn’t half bad.” A couple of days later, knocked over a 16 oz glass filled with a freshly made iced latte. Shattered glass, ice, and coffee covered my kitchen. I picked up the big pieces of glass and set to work with the crosswave. I started by just vacuuming it. I did have to empty the dirty liquid compartment when done which revealed chunked of glass (easy to knock out from the float device that caught them). Once that was done I ran a clean and then mopped the floor with it. Just to be sure I went back over the kitchen with my broom and did find one small Piece of glad that the cross save didn’t pick up (It may have been under the fridge or In a corner). At that point - seeing how easily I cleaned up a huge mess despite my limitations - I was sold. I have had my cross wave for 3 weeks and use it every other day or so (sometimes more) and am astonished at how much dirt it picks up. Today when I cut ap a watermelon and a have landed on the floor with a big splat, I picked up the piece and quickly cleaned up the mess with the crosswave. We are a low-tox house so instead of using the bissell cleaning solution, I pre-dissolve 2 “clean” dishwasher pods into 2 liters of water and use that in the clean water compartment (this may void the warranty, so I wouldn’t suggest others do this without reading the warranty) Things I love: Easy, convenient, cleans well, easy to use my preferred cleaning solution in, even my child can use it. I also love the self clean feature Things I would change: Both clean and dirty reservoirs are small. It would be nice to see them larger but that would change the weight. It uses a lot of power - if the battery doesn’t hold up well, it won’t be much use in a few years.

I was trying to decide between this vacuum and a tineco; eventually settled on this due to reviews and the water tank capacity. The regular vacuum feature on this is fantastic, it picked so much up that our other vacuum doesn't! The first time I used the mop feature, it didn't seem like much was happening because the floor didn't look super wet. But as soon as I finished it was obvious how much cleaner my floors looked and it just smelled fresher in the house. I also noticed a few little sauce stains in the kitchen come up as I was going, so it definitely makes a difference. The water tank empties sooner than the battery, which I view as a positive. It takes about one water tank to do most of my hardwood floors and then I can finish up the rugs or areas I don't need to mop that round with the dry vacuum. From full charge, this whole routine will take about 60% of the battery. The water tank is also very easy to fill so if I wanted to do every single hardwood surface at once, it wouldn't be any trouble to refill. I noticed a lot of reviews complaining about the self clean feature not being enough to clean the whole machine. That feature is almost exclusively for the roll brush and anything that gets caught between pickup and the dirty tank, it's very effective for that; I run that feature and then can just set the brush into the stand to dry without having to do any additional cleaning. After that, I just rinse everything else out (brush cover, both water tanks, filters) and leave them out to dry. You don't have to scrub or do anything crazy, but you do need to pull those parts out to dry. I don't find this any more inconvenient than what you have to do after using a regular mop or similar device. A couple more things - this is advertised as being good for area rugs; I would disagree due to the nature of the roll brush and won't be using it on my rugs. Also, I would not say this is a substitute for fully mopping/cleaning your floors. It's wonderful for daily cleaning and keeping a fresh house, but it doesn't get all the way to the floorboards and obviously you can't do any scrubbing with the machine, so I will still be doing an "actual" floor cleaning every few weeks. Overall I would recommend this and find it very useful. We don't have pets or kids, so I can only imagine it would be even more helpful for those that do!

I decided to give into the Bissell hype when my Tineco died because I wasn’t prepared to spend nearly $600 on a new mop vac. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I’ve had this thing for a few months now and I hate it more the more times I use it. 1) They want you to put SO MUCH cleaner in this thing it’s ridiculous. When I put the amount they want, the mop gets sudsy and leaves soap residue all over my floors. Not sure if they just want me to buy a ton of cleaner since I probably go through about 3 tanks to get my 1500 sq ft done or what. BTW, 3 tanks includes the cleaning cycle I complete every time I fill the dirty water tank. 2) There may be a “dedicated vacuum setting” but the rollers seem to always be wet—ick! It says give them 24 hours to dry after mopping and before using the vacuum setting. I pulled it out today after not having used it for a week and the rollers were immediately wet when on the dry vacuum setting. This makes me wonder how much bacteria was growing on it and is now on my floor. 3) Don’t actually believe the photos where it’s picking up cereal and clumps of hair; it can barely handle a little bit of cat litter and 2 dogs worth of hair. I literally have to hold the vacuum still over large pieces so it can work its way through the vacuum without spitting it out. Most of the time the hair is rolled up and spit out and I have to go over it a dozen times just to get it up. Now, this is when it’s on the mop setting. But like I said above, even when I wanted to use the dry vacuum setting I couldn’t because the rollers seem to never dry. 4) This mop will get all the small particles for the most part so my floor looks tidier but it’s definitely not clean. This just pushes dirty water around which, given the design, shouldn’t be a possibility. But it is and it does. My floors are just streaked with dirty water. 5) The “self cleaning” is not actually self cleaning when I have to rinse the roller and cover before “self cleaning” because it can’t suction up the hair that’s caught up in there. Also, when the self cleaning cycle gets to about 70% and it really starts going fast (I assume to attempt to dry the rollers) it starts shooting little streams of water out from either side of the dirty water tank. Do yourself a favor and avoid this thing. I checked about a month ago and had a heart palpitation thinking I paid $380 but apparently I got it on sale for $230. I was okay with that then and now I feel like even that is too much. At least I saved an animal.

I am in love!!! This is the most amazing floor cleaner I have ever owned and I hate to mop. My floor is never completely clean and I have a lot of floor. I ordered another brand and sent it back and thought I'd try one more time. I got this Bissell CrossWave OmniForce and can't get over how well and how easy it works. First of all, it charges on a stand so no cord. The charge lasts a long time. I cleaned my entire floor and only used about 40% of the charge time. I am not a technology person so the digital stuff scares me but this machine is so easy to use. First I vacuumed to dry surface. I dumped the container. Then added solution(included) and water to water basin. I push one button which releases water as you go over the surface. I did about a 5x6 area then pushed another button which switched to all dry so it sopped up the water and cleaned the floor. Then I moved back and repeated the process. I'm telling you, my floor has never been this clean. The dirty water in the dirty water tank was proof of what it got up. My floors were dry when I finished mopping an area (good for laminate) and at the end of the entire job, the mop head was almost dry. I dumped and rinsed the dirty tank, washed the mop head and set it out to dry then tested my floor for dirt. I got a clean white towel, wiped it across the floor, then wet the towel and did the same thing. No dirt showed on the towel!!!! Amazing!!! No more dirty socks!!! I am sooo excited!!

I've had this for awhile now, and I've used it several times. I gave it 4 stars because, as a hardwood floor vacuum, it does a good job. The battery lasts a long time, the suction is good, the motor is quiet, the freedom from a power cord is awesome, and it maneuvers well (although it has a high profile and does not fit under furniture as well as some units might). It is easy to empty and the filter works well. The things I don't like as much include the need to wash the filter and let it dry overnight (it doesn't seem to really get clean, and I worry about mildew growing in the folds of the filter fabric). Also, I'm not as impressed with the unit as a floor washer. Yes, you can add water and have the soft brush "scrub" your floor. However, it's a huge pain. Every time you do that, you then have to completely disassemble everything and wash each piece, thoroughly wash the soft scrubber brush, and then let everything dry out overnight (and the soft scrubber brush usually takes about 2 more days to dry out completely, before you can put it back in the unit). Plus, I didn't think it did a super great job with scrubbing/cleaning the floors. I honestly got better results with my Swiffer Wet Jet. So now I use the unit only for dry floor vacuuming, then I go over the floors again with the Wet Jet. It felt like too much of a hassle to box it all up and send it back for a refund, so I just kept it (I needed a new floor vacuum anyway)....but if I could do it over again, I would have saved myself the money and got a less expensive unit that only did dry floor vacuuming.

Edit: two week update. my apartment is much cleaner, it's so much easier to use this than a plug in vacuum and a mop, and then you realize how gross old mops really are. apartment overall is cleaner bc the floors are. original: I have a cat, he doesn't mind this vacuum and hated my other one. I have a thick carpet and this is able to vacuum and steam it. so my cat doesn't hate this vacuum, he just watches it. This is my first cordless vacuum, and my apartment has a lot of corners, so that's also really fantastic, I don't think I'd get a wired vacuum again. it got all the kitty litter off the floor, all the dust out, picked up more than my old plug in vacuum, the apartment smells great. I realized how gross old fashion mops were when I used this, bc I vacuumed and mopped my floor, but you're taking a dirty thing, even if you wash it, and putting it in yucky water, steam sanitizes and takes care of pet allergens so it's great if you have friends with pet allergies. it also cleaned some cat vomit off my white carpet, so it paid for itself on day 1, 6 out of 5 stars. I can't recommend it enough. The battery life is 30 minutes, this is the only drawback, but that's bc I bought the one for a thick rug, if you have a thick rug you need this... but it's so easy to setup, pick it up and go, I find myself just keeping the place a lot cleaner. I have used a less powerful shark one, I got this one on sale for the same price, this got up more, it's meant for pets, so there is a pet cleaning solution. I think this is why the battery life is shorter, but I don't need a corded vacuum or a mop anymore, so overall I'll have less stuff, and the place is cleaner and has less allergens.

Perfect appliance for the daily and monthly maintenance of all my floors. Light, easy to use, and cordless. Great for quick pick me ups and unexpected spills. A definite winner in my book.

This thing is ok at best. It makes it easy to vacuum and mop at the same time or separately. It vacuum as and mops decently. And the battery lasts long enough to do what you need. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because it’s a mess to clean. You have to clean it after each use. Makes sense. However, the dirt and hair from the vacuum mode is mixed with the dirty water. So it’s not as simple as just dumping the debris in the trash. When you clean it, you are kind of forced to dump it in the toilet. That’s fine. But you have to clean a lot of it with your hands. You don’t want that hair and dirts going down your sink because over time it can clog it. Then you have to rinse it out. And it’s to narrow to get your hands down in the dirty water/debris container. Then you have to clean the filter components and use your hands. It’s still fairly easy but who wants to do that? Especially for how much you’re spending on this. And the self cleaning mode, laughable. Because after you run that feature, you still need to pull it apart and set it in the tray to dry. You also need to wipe all the dirt and hair off when you pull the roller out, then once again clean the dirty water container. What the self cleaning mode does is run clean water over the roller and spins it to get the water out of it. But the guard and housing collects the hair and dirt. None of this is difficult but it’s inconvenient. The water tanks are small.
