Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam

It is designed for sealed hard floors like hardwood, tile, laminate, and vinyl, as well as area rugs. Because it uses steam, you should avoid using it on unsealed wood or delicate surfaces that are sensitive to moisture and heat.

Yes, it is designed to vacuum, wash, and steam in a single pass. This combination allows you to pick up dry debris while simultaneously using steam and formula to break down sticky messes and sanitize your floors.

The pet hair strainer is located inside the dirty water tank. It separates solid pet hair and debris from the liquid, which makes emptying the tank much cleaner and prevents hair from clogging your household plumbing.

The self-cleaning cycle is excellent for flushing out the brush roll and internal tubes after every use, which keeps the machine smelling fresh and running smoothly. However, you will still need to occasionally remove the brush roll to clear out any stubborn hair wraps or debris that the cycle might miss.

The HydroSteam technology is engineered to provide consistent, powerful steam performance regardless of the cordless format. While battery life is a factor, you won't sacrifice cleaning efficacy or sanitization power during your cleaning session.

For optimal performance and to protect the internal components, it is recommended to use Bissell-compatible cleaning formulas. Using third-party or harsh chemical cleaners can damage the machine's seals and void your warranty.
