    First, I’m a hydraulic professional, retired. This motor isn’t producing the suction required to move material through the center tube into the refuse collection area. This workaround is technically called an ‘orifice’. It restricts the flow inside a larger tube than a pump can maintain constant suction through. This throttles the larger diameter tube causing a bottleneck behind this orifice aka lid. I’ve installed the lid and it does improve suction, but also greatly impacts objects in the tank tube as they’re more difficult to move through it. I’m seeing little to no effect on my secondary issue: dirty water pouring out across a cleaned floor as unit is being moved. Water builds up inside the mop head that suction provided won’t clear. Essentially the fix causes a stall, just enough to build a constant restriction of dirty water from the fix back to the mop head, which only works when enough water is present to fill the void(s). Still ruins a cleaning job. $300 doorstop!

    Most of the time you can change the brush and filter and that fixes the problem…sometimes the entire vaccuum needs new lubricants added by opening up your vaccuum

    This is a design flaw 100%. The original crosswave as well as the newer X7 BOTH have tubes that taper to a smaller diameter at the outlet. Meanwhile the Cordless Max has a tube that’s not only larger diameter, it doesn’t taper. You can see the water trying to suck up the tube but falling back down because there’s not enough suction to pull the water up that tube. I am trying to find a way to add a taper to it, possibly heat the tube and bend it flat or maybe try and cut a similar sized funnel spout and put it in there. Either way, they messed up on the dirty water tank design on this model and the water that remains suspended in that tube spills out onto the floor when you shut the machine off and it drives me crazy!

      see my hack
      problem is the BACK of the dirty bin - gets WARPED OUT - need to put a little Dollar Tree Scratch resistant sticker pad CIRCLE about 1-1 1/2" from the joint seal / CENTERED to the back of the machine
      You can TIP me if you LIKE MY HACK VenMo @MCSky appreciate $1
      Suction is much better no need to restrict hole althogh there will be another hack coming in couple of months
      leaking air around the Dirt Bin and Top Cap - now 100% of suction (still not OVERLY impressed) but the water is not GARGLING not making into the Bin now..

    Tried this fix and it didn't help at all. I actually removed the lid with the hole in it and went back to using it as designed. The solids got stuck at the lid and clogged up the hole so it wouldn't pick up water. It also caused the base to shut down during the cleaning process because the water couldn't flow quick enough.

    I've went though 2 replacement ones so issues with all 3 and because my warranty just ran out bissell doesn't want to help and I spent almost 400 for this crappy machine. I've had issues with the same leaving puddles and not putting water out at all or I keep having to constantly push the button and very little water comes out then each time. Can you help with the water not coming out?

  • @michelvianlotti3483
    @michelvianlotti3483 2 роки тому +7

    Sure it became now a vacuum for ONLY dust and rice the machine lost the ability to suction relative large particles like Fruit Loops etc because of the Very small diameter on the green bottle cap after this trick the particles in the floor that are bigger than the little hole on the green cap will get stuck between the floor suction hole and that green cap never making it into the receptacle and subsequently clogging that section and forcing you to push it out every time a big mess is made. So thanks but no thanks

    • @AskYouTubeDad
      @AskYouTubeDad  2 роки тому +6

      It actually went from not picking anything and leaving the fruit loops on the ground along with the milk to actually be able to pick up liquids and small particles, so it literally went from inoperable to operatible.

    I'm a little concerned that it may increase the suction but it also causes the other debris that is usually caught by the strainer to get caught by the newly installed lid with the hole in it.

      But isn't the point of this machine to be able to vaccuum AND mop? I appreciate your DIY solution, but it effectively turns the machine into an expensive power mop. I just got one and am immediately seeing issues with it not being able to manage pet hair and mopping without streaking. If I have to vaccum separately, I'm returning mine and going back to a simple Bona spray mop that gets the job done simpler and faster!
