Bissel 2 in 1 Crosswave or similar product?

[lindyanne]

Anyone have the bissel or something similar that vacuums and mops at the same time. We recently went from tile/wood/carpet on our first floor to all LVP. The dogs have always drooled and left spots but it is much more noticeable on the new flooring. We are going to order some area rugs but for the time being it’s about 2k square feet so I would love to combine the chore. We are also doing basement construction and we are going to be getting dust and stuff from down there so I am going to have to do it pretty much every day for awhile. Would love your reviews or recommendations for that or a similar product.

I don’t have a 2-in-1 but I have a robot vac that does my LVT basement every night. I also have a Bissell spin wave to do the mopping, which I like. I don’t mop too frequently but it does a good job.

My experience with 2 in 1s is that they do two things very poorly. The vacuum never sucked hard enough to really get things clean, and the mop head was just meh for cleaning. Maybe other folks have different experiences, but I would avoid them. The robot vacuum is a good idea for staying on top of the big stuff, and it's easy to run and not really a chore. Then do a deeper vacuum and mop less frequently.

Thanks. I do have a roomba that I need to "fix" (it keeps kicking itself off of the network so it won't work). I needed something easy to mop with so I was thinking I could combine the two. I'll look for other options.

I have a tineco and I LOVE it. This is dramatic but it has seriously improved my mental health. When my dogs get muddy paw prints everywhere it’s not overwhelming anymore. It saves me so much time and effort and it cleans really well. I have the ifloor 3, I got it on sale at Best Buy for $200, if you go with that model I’ve seen it for $250 frequently, so don’t buy it if it’s more than that. If you have any questions let me know! Also drink spills are so easy to clean up since it sucks up the liquid and then cleans the floor. No more sticky spots where a drink spilled!

Thank you. I got it for $189. It will be here tomorrow but the solution isn't coming till early Jan.

I hope you like it! Mine came with a bottle of solution so maybe yours will too. Also, I should’ve mentioned but it’s not for rugs/carpet. Just hard floors. I know my dad has one of the cross waves that can do the mopping and then turn that off for carpets, but this one doesn’t. I didn’t need that so this is perfect for me.

I have a Bissell crosswave and it works great for what I need it for. It doesn't do a great job along the wall area. I like that it can do both at the same time. It gets my floor clean enough considering I really need to replace the floor eventually. I only use it on hardwood floors.

I came *thisclose* to buying the crosswave from Kohls when I had a 40% off coupon earlier this month. We moved this summer and our main floor is all hardwoods, and dh got me a robovac for my bday that does a really good job keeping up with the dog hair (we have 2 dogs), but when he was looking at them, he asked if I wanted one that would mop too, and I said no. And then fall hit, and our yard became a mud pit, and our dogs that go in and out 1000 times a day get muddy puppy prints all over the floor every single day, and I regretted not getting the mopping feature. But I ultimately decided against the crosswave and decided to just stick with a swiffer wet jet. Please update if you like whatever you get!
