[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the machine does clean but leaves as much or more behind. I have cleaned the same area 5 times and it leaves dirt behind. It seems to loosen the dirt and spread it around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Prefer the Wet Vac Feature Over Dry Vac

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Crosswave 1785 a couple of years ago and use it as both a wet and dry vac for my concrete tile floors. The versatility is nice and overall it does an okay job for a family of two (no fur-babies) in a 2800 sq ft home. We live in the high desert which is known for DUST and regular vacuuming is necessary. The drawback I've experienced is having to stop frequently to remove the tank and brush off the filter because it clogs easily from the accumulated dust. In retrospect I should have purchased a regular vacuum cleaner with a bag, BUT I still like this wet vac feature for my arthritic fingers that can no longer maneuver a heavy wet mop.

My floors haven't been this clean for 20 years. Love it. I wish the cord were a little shorter. Too much to wrangle with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Made a bigger mess than I started with!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mopping function in itself also was a catastrophe. I had some dry dirt + mud tracked into my house from shoes, and 1) the vacuum functionality wouldn't suck up the small dusty dirt particles (note my entire house is hardwood) or the larger pieces of mud, and when I ended up using a paper towel to clean that up, the mopping feature, i kid you not, just dispensed muddy solution all over the room and would not stop. I thought maybe the brush was too dirty, so I exchanged it with the new one, and the same thing happened. I had to then paper towel the entire floor, then get out my old mop and mop up the mess this vacuum made. This took 4x the amount of time it would have taken had I just vacuumed with my old vacuum and manually mopped the floor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Kenzie. The CrossWave isn't intended for use as a dry vacuum. It's meant to vacuum and wash sealed hard floors simultaneously eliminating the need to sweep and mop separately. Please give us a call so we can help with how to best use the machine to clean your floors! 1-800-237-7691

Leaves streaks on my floor. Can still see dirt and mud on floor after running vet vac. I have better results with a mop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is worth every penny!! I thought my floors were clean before using this product but after using it I realized they weren't! I am so glad I invested in the Bissel Crosswave. It makes my floors look so good after every use!
