Good but not Awesome
I have used this multiple times now. The product is good but too heavy. It is bit complicated to use and after use cleaning part is too much.

bissel crosswave cleaner
i have wooden floatingf floors throughout the house .even though i sweep the floor before using the bissel it still does a very good job of cleaning the floors and picking up the dog hair and dust .the only downside of this machine is that it needs a strong person to use it if you have alarge area to clean .i would reccommend that if purchasing this machine you purchase an extra brush so that you can change them over si that the used one can hung out to dry after use n

Works extremely well on hard floor/tiles
Cleans extremely well. I have porous tiles and this gives a good deep clean. Love the self cleaning and storage stand so the roll can dry tidily.

Great upgrade from the original CrossWave
We upgraded from an older CrossWave to the Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam, and the improvement has been noticeable. It cleans the floors better than our old CrossWave, and the steam mode is particularly useful as it leaves the floors much drier after cleaning. The main downside is that the dirty water tank is still a little small when cleaning large areas that are particularly dirty. I find that I need to stop and empty it several times during a bigger clean. The self-cleaning function is also a significant improvement over our old CrossWave and makes cleaning up after use much easier. Overall, it is a great upgrade from the previous model, with better cleaning performance, faster-drying floors, and a much-improved self-cleaning system. The small dirty water tank is really the only drawback I've noticed so far.

Make things easier
We are a senior couple and finding things a bit harder to do. We watched a video online on how to use and off we went. We are very pleased between the pair of us we have done all the floors and amazed at the dirt we collected. We had been hand mopping them weekly. This was daunting at first but pleased we purchased.

At a glance
The Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam is a multi-function hard floor cleaner that vacuums, washes, and steams in one pass, making it a strong fit for pet owners and busy homes with mixed flooring. Its key strengths are sticky-spill cleaning, pet hair pickup, and corded runtime for longer sessions. The main trade-off is that it is better suited to sealed hard floors and low-pile rugs than deep carpet cleaning.
What it’s great for
- Pet Hair Cleanup
- Sticky Spill Cleaning
- Everyday Floor Washing
- Mixed Floor Maintenance
- Sealed Hard Floor Refreshing
Where it works best
- Family Homes
- Pet Households
- Kitchens
- Dining Areas
- Living Rooms
- Hallways
Who it’s for
- Pet Owners
- Busy Households
- Families
- Homeowners with Mixed Flooring
- Regular Cleaners
Things to consider
It offers strong all-in-one floor care, but specialist carpet cleaners or dedicated steam mops may outperform it for deep carpet extraction or single-purpose steam cleaning.
Pet hair performance score
9/10 - pet-focused brush roll and wet-dry pickup make it well suited to frequent fur cleanup on hard floors
Allergy suitability
Moderate - useful for removing wet and dry mess from sealed floors, but it is not positioned as a dedicated allergy or HEPA-focused cleaner
Ease of use rating
8/10 - one-step cleaning, self-cleaning cycle, and corded operation are convenient, though tank refills and cord management still require some effort
Noise level vs category
6/10 - similar to many corded hard floor cleaners due to its 1300W motor, rather than especially quiet
Floor type compatibility
Sealed hard floors including tile, timber, laminate, marble, vinyl, and engineered surfaces, plus low-pile area rugs
Key benefits
- Vacuum, Wash and Steam Function: Cleans sealed hard floors in one step to reduce the need for separate cleaning passes.
- Pet Brush Roll: Helps lift pet hair and everyday debris more effectively from hard floors and along edges.
- 1300W Motor: Provides powered wet and dry cleaning performance for handling daily messes and sticky spills.
- 7.6m Power Cord: Gives extended reach for longer cleaning sessions without stopping to recharge.
- 0.83L Clean Water Tank: Supports longer cleaning runs before a refill is needed.
- 0.62L Dirty Water Tank: Separates collected dirty water to help keep fresh solution isolated during cleaning.
- LED Headlights: Makes it easier to spot fur, dust, and debris in dim areas and near edges.
- Self-Cleaning Cycle: Helps rinse the brush roll after use so it is easier to maintain between cleans.
Q: Is it suitable for sealed timber and laminate floors?
A: Yes. Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam is designed for sealed hard floors, including timber, laminate, tile, vinyl, marble and engineered surfaces. It is not intended for unsealed, waxed or other moisture-sensitive floors.
Q: Can this clean rugs or only hard floors?
A: It cleans sealed hard floors and can refresh low-pile area rugs. It is not a substitute for a full carpet cleaner, and it is not positioned for high-pile rugs or wall-to-wall carpet cleaning.
Q: How often do the tanks need emptying?
A: Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam uses a 0.83L clean tank and a 0.62L dirty tank, so the dirty tank will usually need attention first. For larger or dirtier areas, expect to stop to empty and refill during the clean.
Q: Does it pick up dry crumbs before washing?
A: Yes. Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam vacuums and washes in one step, so it can collect dry crumbs, pet hair and damp messes in the same pass. It is intended for everyday household debris, not heavy building dust or oversized debris.
Q: What floor cleaner can I use with it?
A: Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam is designed for BISSELL CrossWave cleaning solutions. Using the matching formula supports the wash system and self-cleaning cycle, while other liquids are not part of its documented compatibility.
Q: Will the steam mode leave floors very wet?
A: Not usually on sealed hard floors. Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam applies water and then collects dirty liquid into a separate tank, so floors are not left heavily soaked, but some drying time is still needed after cleaning.
