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

So excited about this product! I have three small children who spill snacks all over and this is the only vacuum that gets everything up! I also have two cats and a dog who leaves prints everywhere! My house looks like I don’t have any animals living in it at all which is much appreciated! I can’t live without it!

I thought I couldn’t love something more than our little green machine but the CrossWave HydroSteam Plus has become a household favorite! Our daughter is 15 months and a notorious food thrower. Our swiffer can never get strawberry/blueberry stains out and the area around her high chair was becoming ruined. We use this every day!

I love how this product seamlessly works across different surfaces so I can my entire space with one machine! I used this to clean up after my dog on hardwood and a rug and saw noticeable differences! Plus it makes each room smell fresh.

Between a toddler and dog, this is just what I was looking for to clean up stubborn messes. Our hardwood floors have never looked cleaner and has become a staple in our cleaning closet. Highly recommend!

This is my first Bissell product and I must admit that I am thoroughly impressed with my purchase. Tired of mopping the floor the old fashion way, I decided to give it a try with a device that combined vacuuming, washing and steaming all at the same time. Being both a pet and a baby parent, daily messes are common in our home. When I received the product, it was very easy to assemble. The instructions were clear and the device was ready within minutes. As soon as I turned it on, the magic started. First, on the rugs that were covered in cat hair; the lint and pet hair disappeared, leaving the rug looking and feeling like new. Then on the hardwood floors, that were stained from food and other mystery ingredients, and I had the same results in minutes. Given the traffic in our home, I also used the steaming function for extra sanitization. When I finished, it was very easy to set the device on cleaning mode, empty the dirty water container and find a place to store it. Highly recommended if you like a clean space but dont have time to use multiple accessories and products.

Got to use this as soon as it arrived. After assembling the different pieces and reading the directions (yes, I am one of those who really does read the directions) I successfully washed my tile floor. My tile flow has a pattern with lots of nooks and crannies. Using the CrossWave slowly over the tile, it actually cleaned up the dirt that was ground into the grooves. No more do I need to get on my knees and handwash the floor or use a broom scrubber to get at that dirt. The steam feature is a bonus and really does a nice job of releasing stuck on dirt (or dropped paint) off of the tile.

I bought the Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam as a hoped-for upgrade to the Bissell CrossWave Pet Pro (model #2306A) that I already own. My house is all hard floor, and I dont use either on rugs or carpet. The bottom line is that the HydroSteam machine cleans about the same as the Pet Pro, but has some very small design improvements that make me recommend it over the Pet Pro if youre going to get a CrossWave (and I dont necessarily recommend them). The HydroSteam has the same cleaning width as the Pet Pro, but a slightly smaller foot, though HydroSteam is maybe a half inch taller with a larger diameter brush roll. The headlight is brighter on this machine and stays lit when just suctioning and gets brighter when dispensing cleaner; its off or very dim with the Pet Pro when not dispensing. The underside of the lid and filter of the cup (where the worst of what you picked up will collect) is curved on the HydroSteam, and its much easier to clean than the corners of the Pet Pro. Theres an extra squeegee on the underside on the HydroSteam, where the Pet Pro collects grime thats hard to clean off. The downside is the HydroSteam is 12.5lb to the Pet Pros 11.5lb, and the weight is distributed in a way that makes it feel slightly harder to maneuver. Neither machine gets the floor cleaner than I get with vacuuming and a rag mop. The benefit is doing both in one step, and being able to pick up wet/sticky/greasy things in the kitchen without ruining my nice canister vac. Neither machine is a good substitute for a regular vac because they lack edge brushes and gaskets to keep debris from flinging around on hard floor. Neither does edge-to-edge cleaning, and leaves at least a half inch margin around the baseboards. To not have streaking, you generally have to use a lot of solution or at least plain water, and I have never been close to the area estimates Bissell claims you can cover. Neither machine actually heats the cleaning water, and the HydroSteam doesnt clean or sanitize with steam. It has two tiny steam vents that inject steam into the top of the brush roll (not on the floor!), where it puts on a big show of venting out through the window. It helps to warm the liquid in the brush roll a little, but it wont take it from room temp to hot, so it doesnt improve cleaning significantly if at all. In order to sanitize, you have to use their proprietary sanitizing solution which has to remain wet on the surface for at least 5 minutes (this will take multiple passes). For comparison, plain Lysol sanitizes a clean, hard surface in 3 minutes. The liquid capacities are small; both machines hold 28oz total of water + proprietary cleaning solution when filled to the max fill line. The dirty water capacities are debatable; Bissell says the HydroSteam holds 17.5oz and the Pet Pro holds 14.5oz, but set on a level surface and filled to the max fill line, HydroSteam holds 12oz and Pet Pro holds almost 20oz. Both machines have a float that cuts off suction when they hit max fill, and it depends on the angle of the machine when the float will engage--Im not about to pour that water into a measuring cup to find out the real capacity. In either case, a full bottle of solution means emptying the dirty cup at least twice. The solution and water mix in the same bottle, which you measure using fill lines, and there are only two sets. Bissell claims the higher (28oz total) will do up to 750sqft, which is technically correct as ~300sqft is smaller than 750, but thats about the most Ive ever done on one bottle. Since the machines dont heat the cleaning solution, you probably want to use up all of what you mixed (you will never mix the correct amount) or pour solution down the drain at (best case) $0.25/oz. (A full bottle uses 2oz of solution, I think the small area is about half that). Both machines have the same plastic strainer in the dirt cup, which catches almost nothing. Its poorly sized to the cup so debris falls into the cup all around the edges, and since its perforated plastic instead of mesh, the most hair itll ever catch is whatever sticks to the handle youre supposed to use to fish it out. Given that you have to handle this thing at least 3 times for each full bottle of cleaner, I recommend you toss it out and dedicate an old metal strainer to whatever drain you use to empty the cup, unless you love paying plumbers to snake your drains. If you have the cleaning tray for the Pet Pro, youve already experienced self-cleaning on the HydroSteam. The only difference is that you dont have to hold the button down for ~30 seconds. Bissells idea of self cleaning is to run some solution through the machine, and then you take it apart and rinse it all, wipe out the tray, clear the hair from the openings, and wipe out the part that holds the roller and the squeegees. The best I can say is that they made the parts snap on and set in, instead of requiring a screwdriver.

This thing is amazing! Vacuum and wash the floors at the same time is genius. The self cleaning cycle you can do at the end is great for keeping the roller brush and machine clean. I was amazed at what it picked up!

Don’t waste your money!!! Use a mop!!!

Product fine. Parts missing.
