I use the crosswave on almost all my floors. The laminate and my linoleum and it's actually fun and easy. I couldn't believe how dirty my floors were until I used this product. I love it,
We recently updated most of our floors from carpet to hard surface. Although our current vacuum cleaner does vacuum floors we wanted a vacuum to perform both duties at once. My original results expectation of the CrossWave were average. After a quick learning curve and understanding the best way to operate put my average expectations to rest. Simply put, the CrossWave's results speak for themselves! In short, the CrossWave gives great results and is very easy to operate much like a traditional upright vacuum. The only downside to the CrossWave is no different than cleaning with a traditional bucket and rag. Probably a good idea to clean the entire unit when you done cleaning.
Just used it for regular laminate flooring. Not enough suction. Small rocks and debris kept getting trapped in the bottom part of the vacuum, so when you shut it off, it would leave a trail of debris on the floor. Definitely returning it unfortunately
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

90% of my flooring is hard laminate, and tired on going through a whole box of swifter wets. The crosswave I'm using a bottle and a half of solution so on the long rub I'll be saving time and money. It was just time to invest. I had a shedding dog so I do vacuum with another machine before using the crosswave.
