CrossWave HydroScrub

Yes, it is designed for multi-surface cleaning. You can transition between sealed hard floors like tile, hardwood, and laminate, and area rugs without changing machines.

It uses a powerful suction system to pick up the majority of the liquid immediately after washing. While your floors will be slightly damp after a pass, they typically dry within a few minutes.

The machine features a self-cleaning cycle that flushes out the brush roll and internal tubing with fresh water. You should still remove the brush roll and rinse the dirty water tank manually after heavy use to prevent odors.

It handles pet hair well on hard floors, but it is not a dedicated vacuum for deep-pile carpets. If you have significant pet shedding, you may need to clear large clumps of hair before using the wet wash function to avoid clogging the intake.

Using Bissell-formulated solutions is recommended to ensure the machine's internal components are not damaged by harsh chemicals. Using third-party cleaners or standard soap can cause excessive foaming or residue buildup.

The CrossWave HydroScrub is designed to be relatively lightweight compared to traditional upright vacuums. It features swivel steering, which makes it easy to navigate around table legs and tight corners, though it is still heavier than a standard stick vacuum.
