I think I like this channel. It's rare to see reviews that take place in a real lived in house, one that doesn't look like a museum or studio.

It took me awhile to find your video after I had watched so many on the crosswave. Your video convinced me to finally buy it with all the details❤️I love it! One month in and I walk around in socks ( I had designated house shoes before) Thank you for your video and energy!! With love from Germany 🇩🇪 and my hardwood floors and tile 😂

I just bought the Bissell Crosswave max 3 days ago. I used it for the first time this morning to clean + mop my 5 bathrooms this morning. Wow! It took me only 30 min for the entire job, and it did an amazing job and I didn't even break a sweat ❤

Does it work well as a dry vacuum as well? Looks like it can do double duty all in one go. I have a pet that sheds a lot of hair so mostly it's dry cleaning, but on those situations when there's water on the floor, I'd like it to pick up the dirt, hair and any wet spots.

Great video !!! An excellent demo. I bought one for my house and 6 for my company on your presentation of the product.

My first video that I've seen of yours and the relateability alone made me subscribe. The skit of you impatiently waiting for the vacuum- then the kids to make a mess 🤣👌🏼💜

So excited to see the comparison when it comes out. I was very interested in the crosswave and never knew about the Tineco until I saw your other video and I loved their system and smart technology too so now I'm in limbo but I will definitely be ordering one or the other soon!

We are working on this comparison this week so expect the video soon. Small hint...we both love ours but for a few different reasons.😁 Thank you so much for the comment

Very thorough review!! Thanks!! Just bought mine!

Let’s just say I work at a place that sales these and since they took reps away from those store we in the field have no idea on some of their product. So Now by watching your video it looks like I’m going to probably be the cross wave sales rep. Great job on the video.

I've been eyeing this machine and watching reviews. After watching yours, I'm gonna go ahead and make the purchase!! I can't wait for it to arrive 🤩😍🤩

how do you like it since posting this?

I have one of the first models and I just got this one and I love the first model and like I said though I can't wait to use this one. What I like about it is I don't have to even read the instruction manual it's pretty self-explanatory. I like how they all have the same concept when you put water and empty out the dirty part. Also, always empty out the dirty compartment sometimes it's easy to forget but it's obvious why I'm saying this. Never let it sit there it can get pretty gross. Just dump it and rinse it after each one. Just use only what you need sometimes you need to fill it to the top fill line for big jobs and usually a huge job I can get it done with just a little bit. You can always add more water and solution. When I first use my old model which I know the new model is even better, the old model, before I bought it I thought it I would have to keep refilling it to do a big job but a little goes a long way I was shocked. I can do all of my floors with just a little bit of water and solution on the low-lying. Also with tile, keep in mind that the bottom piece that vacuums all the stuff, it has a little bit of a rubber bumper on it which is good. But with tile sometimes you have that one tile that is a little bit higher than the rest, so always remember where that one uneven tile is in your house and be gentle when you pass over that tile, I would cringe when I would accidentally go over that one spot, you don't want it to ruin your bumper on the vacuum part.

Oh that looks great! I'm looking forward to the comparison video 😆

Thank you! I like your video and my floors are very similar so seeing it in action is nice. I have a nasty pulled muscle in my back that makes mopping difficult and with a dorky dog that slobbers and two senior dogs that drag dust everywhere I need a quick spot check on demand. I’m gonna try it. Maybe I won’t gag if I’m not stepping in spilled water and dust anymore.

Nice review. Couple of questions: 1. Is it possible to clean the whole house in one charge? 2. Is it possible to clean the whole house without dismantling the parts to clean it in the middle? 3. Is there a cheap third party solutions available in any store? Proprietary solutions are usually expensive for no good reason. 4. How many times do you have to go over the whole floor for it to be 100% clean? I think the ability to not having to use a Dyson before cleaning the floor is amazing. I don't like the ritual of cleaning the floor.

I have an d corded one that has gotten tons of use through the years. I longed for a cordless ever since they came out. I now have a puppy and toddler as well as 3 other children. Today I spotted one on marketplace new in box for $100. I bought that so fast. Just put it together and toyed with it for as long as the initial battery lasted. So many improvements from the first and cord free is great. Like the self cleaning also! P.s.

Happy it helped, which one sounds better to you? If you have the budget our top pick now is the newer Tineco S5. I can get a link to it but it cleans better and has bigger tanks plus can get closer to the edges. We tested it against several vacuum mops and it performed best. Not everyone needs the best but to us, it is!

Good question. I would honestly say it doesn't get that inside corner as perfectly as I wish it did. I try to vacmop the corner from both ways and that helps.

Crosswave Max is $99 on clearance at Lowes. I got one yesterday! From $399 to $99.

Thank you for this video. I'm excited by the idea of a wet/dry vacuum that's easy to clean. Is it safe for solid wood floors and engineered wood floors? Does it work well to clean tile grout?

@CleanFreakGermaphobe

3 жыл бұрын

It is safe for sealed hardwood. In fact, they have a roller and cleaning formula especially for hardwood floors. It doesn't "clean" grout exactly but since using my Crosswave, my grout is definitely cleaner because I'm not just pushing dirty water into grout lines, it is sucking up the dirty water...if that makes sense. I can't tell you how much I love mine. If you decide to check it out, please use our links and thank you so much for watching 😃👍

Thank you for the informative video. Can you leave the head lamp on all of the time?

Now they have a crosswave with steam called HydroSteam. I just got it and it's amazing! Steams so well it warms the floor

Looks great! A couple of questions… Can you dry vac without the wet mop part? And, how long does it take for floors to dry? Does it leave behind a lot of moisture on the floor? Thank you! Looking forward to the comparison!

@CleanFreakGermaphobe

3 жыл бұрын

It does not leave a lot of moisture which I really like. The moisture that is there dries pretty fast. The Bissell has a trigger you can push to control when water comes out. I don't ever use this on my carpets... but I do use it on my area rugs without the water. Hope that helps. Comparison to be coming soon. 😃

@wishingb5859

I have been thinking about the same thing. The corded one is slightly more powerful and if you are a younger person, the corded one is likely to last much longer because batteries have a determined amount of cycles. Tineco's vacmop was rated to 300 cycles, which is not many years if you are using it all the time. Half of cordless stick vacuums develop battery problems within five years. But it will depend on whether you vacuum daily or on the weekends.

@wishingb5859

3 жыл бұрын

The honest answer is that the cordless will be easier to use but will probably start dying in 5 years. The corded vacmop will be frustrating at times because the cords aren't generally long enough but it could last decades. (My Shark Liftaway vacuum is still going strong after 10 years. Not sure whether newer vacuums really will last 10 years but quite possibly.)

Is the surface cleaner pet safe? Can the vac and mop functions be used separately?

Is there any wet dry vacuum which we can use on carpets? Thanks

Excellent video, and you made me laugh.

The only time I’ve had that is when the dirty water tank needs to be emptied or there’s some sort of blockage. Or the tank isn’t lined up. So if I’m coaching something really dirty at someone’s house. But it’s made to be quick and easy so you do it often and it never gets bad. I don’t have this issue and any I’ve had I’ve been able to solve (I made videos about them). I think it’s been 4 years now since I started using a vacuum mop. Even my skeptical husband can’t live without it now. What brand are you using?

Ah good question. As a germaphobe, I would disinfectant the floor around the toilet Before I used the vacmop in the bathroom. Most people would not bother with that I'm sure

Other videos show a more involved cleaning process where they have to take off the bottom and rinse it all. Do you not need to do that or is it just not shown? That’s a big part of my decision.

Why don't you pour your tank down the toiler (after you dump the trash into the trash)? I know you have a garbage disposal, I know you pour vinegar/bleach down your sink but, it's...crap, right? It's yucky food that hasn't been fermented by bacteria to be used as fuel. Wouldn't the toilet be better? Thank you for this video. Edit* I have another question: The cordless one has a different front roller. Would it make sense to have both(for maximum luxury if one can afford it)? The cordless to be used as a power sweeper and then the Max to be used as a power mop. Again, the MAX has a different front roller and you wouldn't want that for bigger debris but you would want it to mop. I have a bad back and want the cordless one, should disabled combat veterans collecting VA disabiltiy because they were maimed, get both?
