Key Features:

1. Cordless Convenience:

   • One of the standout features is its cordless design, which offers greater mobility and flexibility. With a 36V lithium-ion battery, it provides up to 30 minutes of run time on a full charge. This is ideal for cleaning larger areas without worrying about being tethered to an outlet.

2. Multi-Surface Cleaning:

   • The CrossWave Cordless Max is suitable for cleaning sealed hard floors (like tile, laminate, and hardwood) as well as area rugs. The machine can seamlessly switch between different surfaces, making it a multi-purpose solution for home cleaning.

3. Wet and Dry Cleaning:

   • This vacuum can mop and vacuum at the same time. It handles wet messes like spills or dried-on stains and picks up dry debris such as dirt, pet hair, and dust. It’s particularly effective for households with pets or children.

4. Two-Tank Technology:

   • It uses two tanks: one for clean water and formula and another for dirty water, ensuring that you're always cleaning with fresh water. This improves the effectiveness of cleaning compared to traditional mops or vacuums.

5. Self-Cleaning Cycle:

   • After use, the self-cleaning cycle flushes out dirt, hair, and debris from the brush roll and inside the machine, helping to maintain its performance and reduce the need for manual cleaning.

6. Wi-Fi Connectivity & Smart Features:

   • The vacuum is equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing it to connect to the BISSELL Connect app. This app provides real-time notifications, maintenance alerts, and usage tips. While not essential, it's a nice addition for tech-savvy users.

Pros:

• Lightweight and Maneuverable: Its cordless design makes it easy to navigate around furniture and tight spaces.
• Multi-Surface Capability: Handles different surfaces without needing separate tools.
• Effective Cleaning: Mops and vacuums in one step, saving time.
• Pet-Friendly: Picks up pet hair well and works on wet messes like spilled pet food or water.
• Easy Maintenance: The self-cleaning function and separate water tanks simplify after-cleaning tasks.
• No Mess Disposal: Dirty water and debris are stored separately, so there’s no need to touch any mess directly.

Cons:

• Limited Run Time: While 30 minutes is good for spot cleaning or small areas, it might not be sufficient for cleaning larger homes in one go. Some users may need to recharge between uses.
• Charging Time: It takes around 4 hours to fully charge the battery, which is long considering its run time.
• Weight: Weighing around 11.5 lbs, it’s a bit heavier compared to traditional vacuums, which may be a drawback for some users.
• Expensive: It is a premium product, which might not fit into everyone’s budget.

If you're looking for a versatile, time-saving cleaning device and don't mind the price, it’s a solid choice.
