BISSELL® CrossWave® HydroSteam™  Wet Dry Vac, Multi-Purpose Vacuum, Wash, and Steam, Sanitize Formula Included, 35151

After using this multi-purpose vac for a month heres my honest review. Pros- The vacuum part works great. It does seem to suck up every dog hair and piece of dirt. After using the dirty tank does always have really gross water & crud. So it does seem like its picking up a lot of goop. Cons- The mopping part isnt great. I just dont feel like it cleans the floors as well a standard mop or steam mop does. It also often leaves streaks and you really have to go slow to get the floors clean. I also hate that it forces you to buy their solution which isnt cheap. I had to buy additional brush rollers because you really cant use one brush for the whole house. You also have to wash brush after each use. Along with washing the brushes you have to wash out the dirty tank every use. Its also not the easiest to carry from room to room. It is very loud which doesnt bother me but I could see that being an issue if you have small kids & want to clean while theyre napping. All in all I just dont feel like this vacuum is worth the hefty price. I dont feel like it saves me any time or is any easier than using my standard vacuum to pick up the dirt and then mopping the floors with a good mop & cleaner of your choice. Also hate that now I have to buy not only the recommended cleaner but the cleaner you have to use to clean the brush rollers.

We have a new puppy and works amazing on all those little accidents.

Versatile and highly productive / useful floor cleaner. I would highly recommend over any other products I have tried, and give it 5 stars!! Well done Bissell

In love with my purchase of the CrossWave HydroSteam. This is my second BISSELL product, but first with steam function. Assembly was super fast and the instructions are very easy to follow, with great resources online for tips and tricks to get the most out of the vacuum. I have already needed to use on multiple different messy surfaces, mud/food/spills, all with the same fresh and clean results. This is now my go to, everyday vacuum. Highly recommend!

I had a Hoover Floormate for which I loved for 14 years and it just gave up. They don’t make that type of model anymore. After reading lots of reviews I decided on this Bissell. It works beautifully on your hard floors. It’s not a heavy machine and it gets in corners and along edges. Love this floor cleaner.

To be as brief as possible this is a cool machine in theory but it does not save any time nor does it do a comparable job to a steam mop if that’s what you’re looking for. I cleaned our large kitchen and two bathrooms today. I had the robot vacuum clean the kitchen and one of the bathrooms this morning understanding that in theory I did not need to, but expecting it probably wouldn’t hurt to make a first pass in those areas as we have a couple of dogs. It did a nice job grabbing the debris the robot had missed. And the mopping seemed okay too. I used the enclosed cleaner solution for the hard surface sanitize the first run but just used plain water after that as I didn’t love the residual cloudiness on the floor - and I ended up going back over everything with just plain water that I had already covered with the cleaning solution for this reason. Which honestly wasn’t a big deal because the dirty water tank fills up so quickly! Annoyingly quick. It is no where close to accommodating the large fill from the clean water tank. I didn’t count but I had to stop and empty the tank/refill at least 6 or 7 times between the three rooms. The steam it emits is not significant, but it does do a good job of sucking the water back up. The floor dried quickly. But it is LOUD So loud. In our main bathroom, where I did not run the vacuum prior, it did an excellent job grabbing all of the hair that I inexplicably lose every day while somehow still not going bald. And then when you’re all done, you have to do the self clean cycle (which is honestly pretty impressive and did actually clean the beater bar nearly completely in one cycle). And then clean out the dirty tank, the filter and dissemble the brush roll to try and wipe out the self cleaning tray if you do it to fidelity. Then I guess sometime tomorrow when everything is dry I’ll put it back together… I can’t see using this with any regularity. The tank is so small and the process to use it because of this plus the clean out process…. I could have used my upright vacuum + shark steam mop with a lot of steam (refilling the tank maybe 2x) in probably half the time. And then just thrown the mop pad in the wash and moved on with my day.

Dog lives full time in the house. Can mop and sweep prior to using and the bissell still picks up hair and dirt left behind. Easy to use and the steam function gets hard to remove spots up with ease. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I was skeptical about this product mainly because of the price and having never used a Bissell product in the past, however the difference between mopping and using the crosswave was night and day, lifting up dirt I couldn’t even see in my tile floor. Only feedback is that it does go through a generous amount of cleaning solution, which is not cheap, but a small price to pay for the level of clean you get.

Nothing gets my floors cleaner. I was hesitant to buy this because so many reviews talked about a smell or that it stopped working. You have to clean it after every use, it’s worth it, but takes about 10 minutes to properly complete. That will keep it working and prevent the smells they talk about. You have to buy the cleaning products and I buy the brush cleaner for the cleaning cycle but if you understand this up front, there are no surprises. It’s a fantastic deep cleaning tool that’s as easy as vacuuming. The first few times I cleaned what I thought were clean floors, the water was almost black. I don’t know how anyone has kids or a dog without it!

Our house is mostly tile and laminate. This is the best floor cleaner Ive found but dont let the steam thing fool you. This produces very little of it and with the tools provided this isnt going to remove grit from your grout without a manual brush and additional cleaner. But for general floor cleaning it works well. I vacuum before I use it and I have a very good Dyson vacuum but this will still pick up an additional huge amount of dog hair. So much so that I usually have to empty it frequently. If I had to do it over Id have probably bought one of their less expensive models without the steam as its almost non-existent in this model. And dont expect this to clean well close to edges. Youll have to manually scrub and use something else around baseboards. Anything closer than 1/2 inch will never get picked up or cleaned. Wait for this one to lower in price. Its way too expensive now or buy one of the other Crosswave products (preferably one without a cord). Much less expensive and I suspect will do about the same level of cleaning. Glad I didnt get rid of my steam mop that actually makes steam.
