Regarding battery time, you should get up to around 30 minutes of use from a complete charge. And that’s more than enough time for any task bar perhaps a full four-room mopping session. The Crosswave Cordless Max can also be used to vacuum a rug or refresh it with a quick wet application though, in the latter respect, it’s no substitute for a bona fine Best Carpet Cleaner.
It’s heavy with a water tank on-board as well as a tank for collecting dirt, debris and dirty water. Though saying that, we did find that it gets into corners and along skirting boards. Going from hard floors to carpeted areas or rugs is quite easy, though depending on the difference irobot vacuum cleaner in the thickness you may have to lift the machine. The Cordless Max Pet combines all of your floor cleaning chores with cordless freedom in an effort to save you precious time and energy. And since your dog probably isn’t going to lend a hand, you’ll need all the help you can get.
It’s also easy to use with a sleek digital interface – just press the button on the handle to power on, and select whether you are using it on hard or soft flooring. You’ll want to hold the trigger each time you want to release cleaning solution on your floors, and then move it forward to mop and vacuum, and release the trigger and pull back to dry. If you want to use it for deeper cleaning, move the brush roll over the area, hold the trigger for a few seconds, and pull back to dry.
This cleaner is created to work as a high-performance vacuum, a mop and it dries your floors simultaneously, but just how well does it perform? We put it to the test in our home – you can read the verdict below. Compare the nozzles, cleaning heads, brushes and other accessories are included with each stick vacuum.

My first test was on the kitchen floor which was a different colour to what it was last week – more a shade of dark oak than the lighter shade of pine it should have been.
The BISSELL® CrossWave™ Max Vacuums, mops, and dries in one go. Its multi-surface cleaning capabilities let you easily switch from cleaning sealed hard floors to refreshing area rugs and tackling messes, dyson robot vacuum whatever they may be – wet or dry. Anyway, the upshot is that the CrossWave Cordless Max performed a miraculous feat by restoring the floor to its original condition – well at least close enough.
Preferably, this plug socket will be out of sight from you and your guests, since this machine isn’t exactly the smallest. This is one of our only issues with the BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max – it’s quite hard to store. Ours is currently sitting in our kitchen, charging through a plug that sits above our worktop. It’s worth us noting that this machine has to be sat on the dock to charge, and you’ll want to place it on there when self-cleaning, too. If you are short on storage space, this is not the appliance for you.
In fact I had to jiggle the machine around until the charging light came on. I wouldn’t say it’s a deal breaker but it sure is frustrating. A separate button activates the self-cleaning mode when the unit is mounted to the charger-cum-cleaning station.

It performs much better on carpeted floors with its multi-surface floorhead, is easier to maneuver, weighs considerably less, and has longer battery life. The BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max is a cordless upright hybrid vacuum/mop. Compared to the corded BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro, it has a less powerful motor that leaves it incapable of cleaning dense high-pile carpeting. That said, it’s easier to maneuver and does just as good a job when vacuuming debris or scrubbing away stains on bare floors.
