Bundle includes: (2) - 8 oz. bottles of Multi-Surface Formulas, (2) - 8 oz. Hard Floor Tough Mess + Odour Eliminator Formulas, (2) - Multi-Surface Brush Rolls, (1) - Wood Floor Brush Roll Better yet, it's more advanced than its predecessor - the Bissell Cordless CrossWave 3-in-1 Multi Surface cleaner - thanks to nifty new features like self-clean technology. It is very versatile and we love that it can be used anywhere in the house, to remove pretty much any kind of mess. Next, I tested its cleaning performance. My kitchen floor often gets quite dirty because I have three cats that regularly walk in and out, bringing in mud from outside. The CrossWave Cordless Max made short work of even toughs stains that some floor cleaners struggle with, leaving a clean and relatively dry floor. Manoeuvrability is good, with the jointed head letting you sweep around and through bits of furniture and chairs. The only issue you might have is that there are now detail tools, so you may still have to clean some areas by hand if you can’t physically get the CrossWave Cordless Max’s head into a spot.

Aside from the on/off button, the CrossWave Max also has a floor selector that activates two types of water intensity for treated wooden floors and non-porous compounds like tile, linoleum, polished concrete. A separate button activates the self-cleaning mode when the unit is mounted to the charger-cum-cleaning station.This high-performance vacuum can handle wood floors or laminate, tiles, slate and PVC, as well as rugs and carpeted surfaces. The self-cleaning cycle gets rid of dirt as well as hair - something that would lodge itself into the model we tested previously - so cleaning the appliance is no hassle at all. Big bonus.

Designed to save time and money, these powerful machines vacuum and wash everything from spilled food to pet hair at the same time across multiple surfaces. This cleaner also claims to be able to handle stains on rugs, so I put it to the test on a dried-on ketchup stain. Here, performance was okay, getting rid of most of the stain, leaving only a trace amount behind. This model offers 30 minutes of run-time from the powerful 36V battery: that’s five more minutes than the standard CrossWave Cordless. Not only that, but since cleaning ability has been improved, you’ll be able to cover a wider area on a single charge. I managed to clean my entire downstairs, plus the loft-conversion bedroom and bathroom on a single charge, and I still had a bit of juice remaining.

When it comes to hard floor performance evaluation, I’d like to think I have a good test bed for a device of this nature. Yes, kids make a mess and even some grown ups do, too. But nothing – nothing I tell you – messes up a house more than a bunch of animals. I have two labs and three cats and that means muddy floors on a regular basis… and hair. So. Much. Hair. This writer despises household cleaning machines that can’t stand up on their own so you’ll be pleased to learn that this one can. Like an old-fashioned Hoover, you simply push the handle into an upright position and, voila, it stands up on its own. That’s what I’m talking about. Note that you should only use this cleaner on rugs that are marked as suitable for wet cleaning (look out for W or WS on the care label). For day-to-day cleaning, the CrossWave Cordless Max can handle all surfaces, but if your home is mainly carpeted, or you need to deal with tougher stains, then a proper carpet cleaner such as the Vax Platinum SmartWash might make more sense. This device would benefit large families or those on their own, in smaller or larger spaces. We think it's especially useful for pet owners.
