I watched your video and decided to order this! Thanks for all the details. I skipped the cordless, having a 2000+ sq ft home, 20 mins of battery life would not work for me. I've read reviews of other people regretting doing cordless for this reason. Glad I read them all! Thanks again!
So far so good with this vacuum. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.
Just bought this today after having had it with my mop and bucket. When I swiffered afterwards it looked like I hadn't done a thing. I have new luxury vinyl linoleum. This machineI is AWESOME. have new baseboards (6 1/2 inch) and the pads just gently massaged them. No damage. My "white glove test" was to run a swiffer pad across the floor ... NOTHING on the pads!! (Unlike mop / bucket .. looked like I hadn't cleaned.) I LOVE the fact I don't have to deal with DIRTY water afterwards. Tip: Pay the extra $50 and get the CHORDLESS - it's SO NICE!! Thx for the instructional video. I appreciate it. (Best Buy: $150 - chordless)
@@jonathanbelmares8241 using soap will get more dirt and grease off the floors. I wash with solution and water, then rinse the floors with water afterwards. You can opt to not use soap, but then it's equivalent to using a regular mop without soap.
Thanks for the informative video.. I have been considering purchasing a Spinwave and you helped me to make up my mind...I think I would prefer this more than the Crosswave... Keep up the great videos..
So I completed moppng my floor and drying it with the mop. I then took a white, damp cloth and ran it on the floor and it came up dirty. Well I just freaked out and then I realized something so simple! It's a MOP! You have to rinse out your mop AS YOU MOP! I realized this as I was washing out the pads in the kitchen sink. I also realized, if you are using a DIRTY pad on your floor, the mop has just morphed into a nice FLOOR SANDER! Make sure there are NO grains of dirt on the floor. So my pads are clean again, going to go over the floor a second time and see if I can get it clean for real! Oh, one other thing, if you have any pain in your wrist or hands, this is not the mop for you. My left wrist just starts screaming when I use it.
I also use a Miele canister with the parquet floor tool to vacuum my hardwood floors. I also have the Bissell Crosswave. I really want to try this out next!
Sounds like you have very clean floors! Although it doesn't suck up the water, I prefer how this Spinwave works, more than my Crosswave. This machine really hugs the walls. Basic but effective!
Do you spray SHOUT degreaser to the pads before washing them in the washer? So the machine doesn't suck up the dirty water into the tank, all the tank does is store the water and chemical before you spray the mixture on the floor to be cleaned? Where did you buy the extra pads from for the machine? Bissell? Amazon? Final questions, did applying the Pledge wood gloss to your wood floors make the floors slick to walk on? How old are those wood floors in your kitchen? They turned out pretty good in the end.
I just replaced my old kitchen ceramic tile with Adura Max luxury vinyl tile. the lvt gets dirty so quickly I'm cleaning it 2x a day with Once and Done. I was wondering if I can use the Bissell Spinwave for it or will it damage it? I know the specs say not to use a brush roller on it. I thought it would be more resilent
See the swirl marks?? On that first run?? I can't get mine to go away. The pads are super white when I am done cause I KEEP GOING OVER IT! HELP ME. what in the world am I doing wrong?
I see it sells for 109 at Walmart. Only thing I would recommend is not to store the bottle with the machine. I ruined my Bissel carpet cleaner by storing the bottle with the solution in it on the cleaner. It ruined the screw top on the bottle and I could not find where they had another bottle to buy, not even another screw top for the bottle. I would take the bottle off and let it dry out completely then store it on a shelf.
@@janelle144 I owned one, and tbh I like the Spinwave more. It has better edge cleaning and mops better. The spinwave is also much easier to clean up afterwards.
@@VacTech1 The review I saw said it has a hard time getting close to the edges. But one does have to vacuum first when the Crosswave does both. I agree, clean up on the this one is easier then the Crosswave. Just throw the pads into the washer. One has to take the Crosswave apart.
Please understand the polishing step is optional. If you want to get the soap residue off the floor, and reduce the appearance of leftover marks, I recommend rinsing and drying the floors.
Looks like you already have damage from wetness as your edges are beaming up. Looks like they maybe composite wood. And you never want to use red or yellow based liquids or messes that easily blend into the color of the wood. You may as well spread and thin it out across and you wont be able to tell or clean the grooves...which you shouldnt have grooves, but you do as the floor got wet and damaged(hopefully this is a demo floor). Those tiles are actually pretty cool and a classic look. Maybe a update around it would have them stand out nicely.
Haha! Unfortunately my cheap laminate flooring has been damaged in spots for a long time (beaming edges). Good eye! To clarify, the Bissell did not cause that damage.
Not any harder than a mop and bucket, least you know the floors are clean. Update I bought one and I use it more than a mop and bucket because it’s so easy.
Great review! I like your 4 step method but I am afraid I am too lazy to do 4 rounds on my 2000 sq ft home. Also each room will require 4 set of pads so have to buy lot of pads.
I have Arthritic hands and can't use my mob and bucket anymore and husband would never wash a floor!!! Is there something I can use where I DON'T have to keep pushing buttons. I also have Dermatitis on my hands and the skin splits open when swishing a mop. I really am looking for help. I am elderly. Thank you if you can help me?
This one does have a button where you need to press a button as needed to spray out solution. There are steam mops out there where they just put out steam automatically once it's warmed up. Maybe that would be a better solution for you? I hope you're able to find a machine you like!
One of my wheels stops spinning when the machine is upright, but both work when I lay the machine down. Is it because my pad is dirty? I swapped it out. This is my second spin wave. Same thing happened to my last one.
It’s no longer made. That’s the sad thing. Those ones with the scrubby brushes actually worked. These ones with pads don’t. Nor do steam mops. They need to bring back the scrubby brush mops.
Hi. Loved this video. I have 5 yr old engineered floors. Totally new at the time to hardwood. As far as I know my floors dont have any kind of seal on them, unless came with it. Do you think I can use this on my floors? I just cant seem to get mine clean. You can walk on it after it dries and your feet wull get dirty. Its so damn frustrating. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Im really considering buying this product and following your cleaning method.
I think you could, and you could buy some kind of polish or sealant to apply to the floors at the end. I would just be careful not to get the floors too wet when cleaning them.
My floors don't have sealant on them but I have to use some kind of liquid on them to clean them. At least I can dry them quickly afterwards. The fact it's light is a big selling point.
Do they sell more abrasive pads than the ones you own. I can’t seem to find any that will fit this model. I need something more abrasive that will actually scrub the gunk off.
@@VacTech1 No I meant more abrasive than the 4 featured in the video. Even the wash one I feel like it won’t really scrub well. I probably need the Hoover one since that one has actual scrub brushes rather than pads. Thanks.
@@MeteoricMarlin so the hoover is far more aggressive, like a regular polisher/buffer. Works great on the floor, as long as the flooring can handle it. What I like about the Bissell though, is that it soaks up the water into the absorbent pads.
Do you empty the cannister after every use? The manual says to do it and was curious if anyone else does or if they just leave the cleaner inside the cannister after each use.
@@VacTech1 thanks. do you know if there is a reason they want us to empty it? My husband thought having to empty it does not make it quick to setup and use
@@vicktv33 I empty the tank and let it air dry to prevent the build-up of mildew or mold inside the tank. I do it with any of my floor machines that require liquid.
Don’t waste your money it’s useless. Mop your floor twice that’s as good as this bissell didn’t my floors. And my tile isn’t even all that dirty I’m the only person that lives here. Getting my money back.
I press the button to spray out all the liquid left in the machine AFTER removing the water bottle. Does anyone else do this? I am hoping it will extend the life if the Spinwave.
That's a good question! So I think it would (they would cling to the pads), but you should vacuum the floor first, and try to get all the hair and loose dirt off the floor before using this to mop.
Doesn’t say on the bottle that it needs rinsing. I wash and that’s it, with 2 dogs I’d spend my whole day washing rinsing etc. Just plug in and use one set of pads. I’d never buy it if I thought I’d have to use it this way.
Rinsing is optional, but i do it because it's an effective way to get the leftover soap/chemicals off the floor. I don't want to be walking around barefoot on chemicals after I clean. Also, If you get the soapy residue off the floor, the floors will stay cleaner longer afterward, saving you work down the road. Thanks for watching Iris!
I recommend buying a rubber broom and sweeping and vacuuming before washing the floor. I have 5 cats so I get the hair issue. It's a little extra work but it makes mopping easier.
I love mine but help! It just stopped spinning today on hardwood floors wet. It spins when I don’t have it on the floor but if the floor is wet it will not spin. I replaced the pads two different pads make sure they were placed properly but as soon as you turn them onto the floor they won’t spin. I’ve only had it six weeks. Any advice? It’s like the motor Isn’t working properly.
??? Why are you surprised that Bissell made this product? There is actually a lot of modern technology in this device, even though it does not have a LED display and cordless feature. It that your complaint?
You put waaaaay too much cleaner, and shaking with presumably not cold water is why it was squirting out of the tank. You can just turn it upside down, right side up and it will mix.
I’ve worked in restaurants and cleaned my home since I was a child and NEVER have I heard of rinsing a floor after mopping. That’s not usual. I don’t know where you got that idea, but it’s very unnecessary unless you used way too much soap and can feel it under your feet. This machine does not clean well so I can see why you are doing so many steps.
Try having a more open mind. Just because you have never heard of it, does not mean that it has never existed. in my opinion, it does make sense to mop the floor with a rinse to get up any leftover residue. Although mopping is different than washing your clothes, in the washing machine, there is a rinse cycle to remove the residual soap.
I think rinsing is super smart. My floors show my foot prints and my puppies foot prints even after dry. Maybe product build up or the wrong product because this issue is new. Maybe I ruined the floors. I ordered this machine. I will do everything he does but the last step. If you use a product like that on Luxury Vinyl plank then a professional company will never touch them. I imagine he has engineered hardwood.
After see the video I bought the Bissell SpinWave. Here’s my experience I was so happy when I use for first time. Cleaning is amazing. But After a couple of months. Suddenly stopped. Isn’t a new product. It’s refurbished. Just work for 2 months. Amazon Warranty is only one month. Bissell waranty is a nightmare. Bissell Customer service it’s a joke. There are a lot of better brands. I don’t recommend it.
I feel even more confused after watching this video......it looks like a complete "four-cycle" method would give you the best result of getting rid of all dirt, water streak, marks, or whatever. But apparently the so called steam mops couldn't apply this method. So why are there lots of people swear that they are super satisfied with their steam mops? Does it mean steam mops can achieve the same great results with only ONE cycle of mopping, meaning steam mops are more efficient and effortless than this product? I slightly preferred this one over the steam ones because of spinwave's light weight, quiet operation, and easy access to small areas. But the annoying beep sound! And the four, or three cycles! Mmm......
@@VacTech1 I just watched the video again. I noticed she had some wood flooring that was white. It's just eerily similar. So never mind lol. Btw this is a great video and sold me on the spinwave. It's out for delivery today and I'm really excited. I have a family of 5 and a dog so every one dirties the floors faster than I can clean them. This is going to be a game changer.

How often can you wash your pads before buying new ones?
Once you use the pads are you washing them or reusing them a few times before washing?
Oooohhh nevermind. I wasn't drying. Lol patience and directions are not my forte lol thanks a mil for the vid!
I hope you like yours!
Do you think this will help remove the to buildup of other cleaning products? I am trying to avoid paying for a professional buffing service. Thanks!
Please keep in mind, it's not an aggressive spin mop. I would say it's more for light-duty maintenance, rather than stripping flooring.
Great review! I like your 4 step method but I am afraid I am too lazy to do 4 rounds on my 2000 sq ft home. Also each room will require 4 set of pads so have to buy lot of pads.

Just curious, is your floor laminate? They look great and was wondering about the pledge floor shine. Want to make sure I can use it on my floor.
That's right, my flooring is laminate. It worked well. I think the Pledge Floor Gloss is made for a variety of hard flooring types.
One of my wheels stops spinning when the machine is upright, but both work when I lay the machine down. Is it because my pad is dirty? I swapped it out. This is my second spin wave. Same thing happened to my last one.
Best video of this. Thanks a lot. One question pls can this be used on white marble floors?
Yes, it sure can! It's made for all sealed flooring.
Can buy another bottle to attach to it? I bought one not here yet just wondering since be good if use more than one kind of cleaner
Would you please link for the pads that you bought that are extra?
No problem, I have a link to the pads I bought, in the video description.
thanks for sharing. do you think that its possible to add Hardwood oil+detergent solution diluted in the water tank? thanks
Do u have a link for the hoover product u were referring to I'm this video?
It’s no longer made. That’s the sad thing. Those ones with the scrubby brushes actually worked. These ones with pads don’t. Nor do steam mops. They need to bring back the scrubby brush mops.

Nice video. You convinced me but does it work on the laminate floors?
Yes it works great on them! Be sure to swap out the pads and at least wash, rinse, and dry the floors.
One side has quit spinning. Any suggestions?
Easy to use but leaves swirl marks. Any ideas on how to get them out?
Yep, rinse and dry the floors with additional sets of pads. Works well for me!
@@VacTech1 I'll try the rinse. Since we live in the desert with very little humidity the floors dry almost immediately. Thanks.
I wish the spin mops still had the scrubby brushes instead of microfiber cloths. Or at least the ability to attach brushes or cloth.
I think you should create this, its a great idea. seems to me all you need is a sewing machine and a trip to the fabric store.
Koblenz still sells floor scrubber polishers like that old Hoover shown in the video. Ive had one for a few years and they are nice machines.
So if i use a vinegar solution, or very little soap, can I skip the rinse.
I wouldn't, but that's just my opinion. I guess vinegar wouldn't be as bad, but I try to get the chemicals off the floor if possible.
Is this safe to use for hybrid vinyl flooring? Tnx
Yes it would be safe to use on that. Like with any mop, be careful, but it's safe to use on any sealed floor.
How good of a job would this model do on a tile ?
I think it would do very well indeed!
Don’t waste your money it’s useless. Mop your floor twice that’s as good as this bissell didn’t my floors. And my tile isn’t even all that dirty I’m the only person that lives here. Getting my money back.
I press the button to spray out all the liquid left in the machine AFTER removing the water bottle. Does anyone else do this? I am hoping it will extend the life if the Spinwave.
Why are you rinsing afterwards?????
Which model would help with the the grout and dirt stuck on the tile ?
I have this question too. The grout between my kitchen tiles is really stained...going to try this tomorrow.
How would this work for vinyl flooring?
It would work very well, indeed!
Can you turn the beep off?
On this model, you cannot. I’m not sure if they’ve added that feature to newer models.
Does it collect hair well?
That's a good question! So I think it would (they would cling to the pads), but you should vacuum the floor first, and try to get all the hair and loose dirt off the floor before using this to mop.
Doesn’t say on the bottle that it needs rinsing. I wash and that’s it, with 2 dogs I’d spend my whole day washing rinsing etc. Just plug in and use one set of pads. I’d never buy it if I thought I’d have to use it this way.
Rinsing is optional, but i do it because it's an effective way to get the leftover soap/chemicals off the floor. I don't want to be walking around barefoot on chemicals after I clean. Also, If you get the soapy residue off the floor, the floors will stay cleaner longer afterward, saving you work down the road. Thanks for watching Iris!
Can you use any solution or does it have to be bissel?
I think you could use any solution, as long as it's made for hard flooring, and diluted correctly.
Does anything come off while pulling the pads off?
No, but they can hold quite a lot of water and get pretty wet.
Will this damage original hardwood flooring?
I dont think so. It doesnt put down much liquid, and the washable pads are soft, like a towel.
Links to the pads that you bought?
I added a link to the pads in the video description. Thanks for watching!
Can you use it for a rug ?
Sadly, no. The pads are made to work with hard flooring only. It would bog down and stop working on rugs.
I have labs not sure this will be good me way to much work
Hair sticks to everything
I recommend buying a rubber broom and sweeping and vacuuming before washing the floor. I have 5 cats so I get the hair issue. It's a little extra work but it makes mopping easier.

I love mine but help! It just stopped spinning today on hardwood floors wet. It spins when I don’t have it on the floor but if the floor is wet it will not spin. I replaced the pads two different pads make sure they were placed properly but as soon as you turn them onto the floor they won’t spin. I’ve only had it six weeks. Any advice? It’s like the motor Isn’t working properly.
Oh no! I would contact Bissell, as the vacuum will still be under warranty.
my liquid supply quit spraying
Does has steam on it?
No. This machine is made for scrubbing and washing the floors.
Don’t waste your money
I feel like this would just spread around the dirt and not clean
It's all about swapping out the pads and cleaning in stages. It gets the floors very clean if you use the method I did.
??? Why are you surprised that Bissell made this product? There is actually a lot of modern technology in this device, even though it does not have a LED display and cordless feature. It that your complaint?
You put waaaaay too much cleaner, and shaking with presumably not cold water is why it was squirting out of the tank. You can just turn it upside down, right side up and it will mix.
I’ve worked in restaurants and cleaned my home since I was a child and NEVER have I heard of rinsing a floor after mopping. That’s not usual. I don’t know where you got that idea, but it’s very unnecessary unless you used way too much soap and can feel it under your feet. This machine does not clean well so I can see why you are doing so many steps.
I used it tonight... my tiles isn’t even that clean. Don’t waste your money
Try having a more open mind. Just because you have never heard of it, does not mean that it has never existed. in my opinion, it does make sense to mop the floor with a rinse to get up any leftover residue. Although mopping is different than washing your clothes, in the washing machine, there is a rinse cycle to remove the residual soap.
I think rinsing is super smart. My floors show my foot prints and my puppies foot prints even after dry. Maybe product build up or the wrong product because this issue is new. Maybe I ruined the floors. I ordered this machine. I will do everything he does but the last step. If you use a product like that on Luxury Vinyl plank then a professional company will never touch them. I imagine he has engineered hardwood.
After see the video I bought the Bissell SpinWave. Here’s my experience
I was so happy when I use for first time. Cleaning is amazing. But After a couple of months. Suddenly stopped. Isn’t a new product. It’s refurbished. Just work for 2 months. Amazon Warranty is only one month. Bissell waranty is a nightmare. Bissell Customer service it’s a joke. There are a lot of better brands. I don’t recommend it.
Sorry to hear yours didn't work out! Appreciate the feedback.
Geezz...i like the idea...but That's too many steps...!! Not quick and easy
India prices
I would use this mop with the Bono solution
Bono leaves a build up on floors! I hate it.
I feel even more confused after watching this video......it looks like a complete "four-cycle" method would give you the best result of getting rid of all dirt, water streak, marks, or whatever. But apparently the so called steam mops couldn't apply this method. So why are there lots of people swear that they are super satisfied with their steam mops? Does it mean steam mops can achieve the same great results with only ONE cycle of mopping, meaning steam mops are more efficient and effortless than this product? I slightly preferred this one over the steam ones because of spinwave's light weight, quiet operation, and easy access to small areas. But the annoying beep sound! And the four, or three cycles! Mmm......
nice video, i may get one
Thanks, Rocket Dingdong! If you go for it, I think you'll like it!
Don’t waste your money
This video is identical to another video I saw by a woman in another channel. Literally identical. Even the rooms and floors are identical.
Hmmm. Are you saying she used my footage, or it was shot similar?
@@VacTech1 I just watched the video again. I noticed she had some wood flooring that was white. It's just eerily similar. So never mind lol.
Btw this is a great video and sold me on the spinwave. It's out for delivery today and I'm really excited. I have a family of 5 and a dog so every one dirties the floors faster than I can clean them. This is going to be a game changer.
@@kirstenmorrissette5052 glad to hear it! I hope you like yours.
