This just in: You no longer need to mop to keep your floors clean. Hear me out.
The BISSELL CrossWave Edge Wet/Dry Vacuum vacuums and mops at the same time, offering a major upgrade to the traditional multi-step chore of cleaning your floors. Skeptical? I was too. But as someone who strongly dislikes mopping, I was hopeful.
See my full review of the BISSELL CrossWave Edge — now discounted by $50 on HSN — below, including notes on the vacuum’s impressive suction power and innovative ZeroGap Edge Cleaning Technology.
A seamless setup
The BISSELL CrossWave Edge is exactly what I want in a home appliance: minimal parts and easy setup — my package to plug-in time was under five minutes. Let’s break it down.
The only real assembly for this vacuum is attaching the handle to the body. Then, you fill the clean water tank with water and the cleaning solution — this one came with a 1-L bottle of BISSELL Multi-Surface Formula, plus an 8-ounce bottle of BISSELL Pet Pro OXY Formula since I ordered through HSN.
Before I even turned it on, I was impressed by how lightweight it is — under 10 lbs and easy to maneuver with one hand. Time to put it to the test.
Tackling multiple surfaces
When I first used the BISSELL CrossWave Edge, two things stood out as most important to me:
- How effectively does it clean various surfaces?
- Can it replace a traditional mop? (Because if I never have to deal with a mop and bucket again, I’ll consider that a win.)
To test the vacuum’s ability to handle multiple surfaces, I used it to clean up a spilled mug of coffee on both hardwood and tile. It transitioned between the two effortlessly and left no trace of the spill — even in the cracks of the tile.
Then, I put it to the test on carpet by pushing the Multi-Surface Button to transition from hard floors to carpet. The vacuum handled the transition with ease, cleaning dirt off the carpet that I tracked into the house when coming inside from my morning walk. My favorite part? It only took one pass to suction up all of the mess.
To test the BISSELL CrossWave Edge as a viable mop replacement, I used it to clean the hardwood floors in my hallway, entryway, and living room. The vacuum’s powerful suction removed debris, hair, and even some sticky honey my husband spilled while making breakfast earlier that morning. I especially appreciated its ZeroGap Edge Cleaning Technology that allowed me to clean all the way up to the edge of the wall and baseboards.
The ultimate test: puppy messes
My family has two recent additions: a five-month-old dachshund named Penny and a four-month-old jack russell named Poncho. As much as I’d love to say that we’ve mastered potty training, we haven’t.
I used the vacuum to clean liquid puppy messes on hardwood, tile, and carpet, and can confirm there was no smearing of the mess — it was effortlessly suctioned into the dirty water tank, never to be seen again. Further, there was no lingering scent of the mess.
Also, worth noting: The BISSELL CrossWave Edge’s Tangle-Free Technology means that I don’t have to worry about hair clogging the inner components. This feature really stands out — pet hair constantly clogs my regular vacuum, but this will keep things running smoothly.
Self-cleaning mode is a game-changer
There’s a lot I love about the BISSELL CrossWave Edge, but the self-cleaning feature might be my favorite. With the push of a button, the machine automatically cleans the brush roll and internal components.
The first time I used it, I watched the dirty water tank fill with murky fluid and immediately saw how effective it is. It doesn’t just clear away excess hair and debris from the brush roll; it also flushes out the inside of the vacuum, so the mess you just cleaned doesn’t linger inside.
Final thoughts
If you’re someone who dreads mopping (like me), the BISSELL CrossWave Edge might just be your new best friend. It’s powerful, lightweight, and efficient. From muddy paw prints to spilled coffee and sticky surprises in the kitchen, this vacuum handled everything I threw at it without missing a beat. Add in the self-cleaning feature and pet-hair-friendly design, and you’ve got an appliance that’s built for real life — especially if your home includes pets, kids, or just general chaos.
