Bissell CrossWave HF2 3845E - Wet/Dry

Lightweight, easy-to-maneuver cleaner vacuums and mops hard floors simultaneously. Self-cleaning cycle and automatic dispensing make floor cleaning effortless. Review: Everyday Clean - Our 2 dogs are continually in and out of the garden, when it’s wet this means the floors see a lot of dirt brought in. Continually mopping and scrubbing the floors was frustrating and leading to tense moments with the other half (he sees this as the cost of having dogs!). Normally it would take me a good hour or so to vacuum clean, mop and scrub the kitchen floor, sitting room and hallway. Tonight, I gave them the once over with the Bissell H2 in only 20 minutes. Alright, this wasn’t a deep clean and I’ll still need to do that every week, but the results were pleasing. Using a mop I was continually having to change the water as it got dirty quickly. The Bissell used one container of water for all the floors and its’ self-clean. After finishing the floors our 5 month old puppy decided to help in testing it again by weeing on the floor. Two minutes and it was properly cleaned up. Jury is still out but: PROS: Dirty water is not reused, easy to operate, lightweight and manoeuverable, leaves floor almost dry (completely dry in 5-10 mins), long power cable, not bulky and doesn’t take up much storage space, good vacuum cleaning, vacuum and mop in one pass, self-cleaning function. CONS: Noisier than normal vacuum cleaner, leaves 2cm unwashed at edges of floor, only one roller supplied, very small amount of cleaning solution (only enough for 2 fills). So far, quite impressed with Bissell H2. Review: Highly Recommend - Very Happy with my purchase of the BISSELL CrossWave HF2 At £149 Its one of the cheaper models with a long cord (I prefer corded to uncorded anyway ) I have been struggling to keep my Vynl flooring clean due to ongoing mobility and pain issues with my back. The sheer effort of first sweeping or hoovering then mopping was taking hours and leaving me in absolute agony . This machine has transformed my life So easy to use It’s light weight easy to manoeuvre cleans and washes the floors in one go leaving them spotless and dry, I can clean throughout in less than an hour. It has a self cleaning system that you use when you’re finished then leave the head and filter to air dry for 24 hours and its ready to use again. Other reviews pointed out it doesn’t get quite up to the skirting board, to overcome this before starting to use the machine I use a damp flat micro fibre mop along the edges of the skirting I also purchased the recommended cleaning fluid with the machine after reading a review that pointed out it’s highly concentrated so did what the reviewer suggested and diluted it down to normal strength with water in a clean empty container . It works perfectly and leaves my floors super clean with a subtle fresh smell
