Crosswave HF3 Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop, Multi-Surface and Hardwood Floor Cleaner, 3649A

Ive had this product for about a month now. I freaking love it. We have 5 pets, a short haired dog that sheds like crazy, a long haired cat that sheds like crazy, a short haired cat and two short haired kittens. We have a zoo. This vac-mop works so well picking up dirt and stuff off the floor and gives me peace of mind knowing its wiped clean at the same time. Another thing i love about this is that i can go over my washable (ruggable) rugs with ease and it vacuums and mops the rugs. And if you use the sanitizer youll know your rugs are as clean as they can be without putting them in the washer. Although, with having so many shedding pets and cats that track litter (we use natural grass litter so i cant speak about clay) youll have to rinse the mechanism and roller multiple times throughout the job depending on how many rooms you have. There is a clear top so you can see the roller, so if you pay attention as youre working youll see the hair clumping and know when to clean the equipment. Its way easier than having to vacuum with a normal vacuum (sometimes even multiple times to get everything) and then break your back mopping on top of that. But it can get real gross built up with hair that youll have to pull out with your hands and litter will clump up. We have a utility sink which makes this process much easier for me as i can rinse most of it down the drain after i pull off the large clumps. but if you dont have that you might need to hose it off outside or wipe it clean with a paper towel or if you dont mind using your sink then by all means, but i wouldn’t recommend doing this with litter in it. On top of cleaning it throughout the job youll have to give it one last good clean before putting it up until next time or it will stink. I rinse everything really well and have just started soaking it in a vinegar and water solution but i dont think that’s necessary. The only thing that i believe is necessary is cleaning the roller thoroughly with soap and wringing it out as it will stink the most. I would also recommend 1. Leaving everything to air dry before reassembling and 2. Running water through the tube thats inside the actual vacuum where all the water sucks up into the dirty water tank. That part builds up with hair. Cleaning it all together is fairly easy in my opinion. The device is quite compact and easy to store. And the noise level is really not that bad in comparison to regular vacuums. The battery life could be better though imo but all and all this thing is a life saver and i love it.

I love this machine. It makes my life so much easier and does everything I need it to do. That said, the self cleaning feature is just for cleaning the *inside*, non visible, parts. I learned a valuable, if disgusting, lesson today. DO NOT skip, or forget to clean all of the parts as instructed. It's not difficult, and should only take a few minutes to do. I got distracted after running the self cleaning function on it last week and it got left to sit. The results were disgusting, but a thorough cleaning of the unit as instructed, 4 times, followed by soaking the removable parts in bleach solution for a couple of minutes did the trick. Rewashed my floors, then cleaned it again, the way I should have, and all is shiny and disinfected. Make sure to repeat the self cleaning function until no more debris shows up in the dirty bin, then clean all of the individual removable parts and let them completely dry before reassembling. It sounds like it's more effort than it is. It's easy and it's so important.

I love this vacuum so much! Admittedly, it doesn't wet my floors as thoroughly as the previous Bissell Crosswave I had that plugged in. Not terribly powerful, either - I also have to let it hang out for a bit over a mark before it fully removes it. I don't really get the deep-cleaning feeling my old one gave me, but it does (enough of) the trick. The upside is that I can pull it out in a heartbeat like a Swiffer because it's cordless and lightweight. Fits perfectly in my laundry room and is always ready for me. Battery life is decent; I can clean about 4 large rooms before it gets low. Not a huge fan of the smaller-sized container for the cleaning solution because I have to refill after 1-2 rooms. Same thing goes for the small dirty water receptacle; I have to empty it after a room or 2. The self-cleaning feature is my favorite! I get grossed out by too much yuckiness in my wet vac, so it's nice how clean this one is by the time I take it apart. Final thought: the cleaning solutions for Bissell are expensive. When the bottles it came with were done, I switched to a (super) small amount of Fabuloso, and it cleans as well as their name-brand products. And, since I use the self-cleaning feature after every clean, I'm not worried about any residue sticking because of the non-Bissell product. So far, so great!

I did a *ton* of research before I chose this model. For the downstairs, which is all tile and hardwood, I use the Bissell PowerFresh Vac & Steam, and I love it. However, I have vinyl plank flooring throughout the upstairs of my house (four bedrooms and a hallway), and you can't use steam on vinyl plank, which is why I purchased the HF3. The HF3 has an open front, which means it can easily pick up larger debris (don't ask how Fruit Loops end up in my kids' bedrooms, just know that this easily sucks them up where other machines can't). It's lightweight, cordless, and with 30 minutes of battery, I can easily vacuum and mop the entire top floor of the house in one go. I love the self-cleaning feature. Emptying and rinsing out the dirty water container is a breeze. Because it doesn't use steam, it won't disinfect your floors, so if you're looking for something that can burn away germs in your kids' disgusting, tiled bathroom, or if you need a machine capable of melting away various food messes (jelly, yogurt, applesauce, etc.), I'd recommend the PowerFresh or the HydroSteam. If you're looking for an easy, no-maintenance system that's safe for vinyl, this is absolutely the machine for you.

Ayuda mucho solo en la orillas no entra bien y a veces deja marcas de agua pero cumple su función

Great for cleaning hard surfaces works really well. I only used it once so far. Also heard great reviews from other family and friends.

Great thanks for the quick response from the vendor side and problem resolution in a smooth and professional way. Used the vacuum and it was really effective and effort and time saving.
