Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Among the Bissell units we tested, the Bissell CrossWave 1785A had an especially nice design; at 11 pounds it was the lightest cleaner we tested, and its swivel design made it far and away the most agile.
The Bissell Crosswave comes with lots to talk about. If you're looking for a cleaning tool to scrub both area rugs and hard floors, you might really enjoy using one of these. The 2 tank system allows you to clearly differentiate between solutions. The dual action brushroll allows you to vacuum and mop at the same time, while the usability is greatly enhanced by the ergonomically placed fingertip controls and the swivel steering. Overall, a great unit with minor drawbacks.

What reviewers didn't like

But it just didn’t work that well. It’s probably better suited for hard flooring, and it still costs way too much.
The only real drawbacks I could find on this product are the small tank and that it takes a while to clean with it, as you need to move slowly.
