I have a regular corded CrossWave, I specifically picked it over the cordless models for the increased power and so I wouldn't have to worry about battery degradation. I've been very pleased with it. The clean-water/solution tank on my model has a label that says it can handle 60°C/140°F max, so I normally use very hot water to fill it out in order to have warm water dispensed during cleaning. It's not the same as steam, but it's the closest thing to it for those with a floor that could get damaged by steam-cleaning.

From a food safety perspective that steaming vac did not get near enough to be more sanitary, You need to get water to boiling to really be antimicrobial. The biggest plus to the hydrosteam is that the heat will soften substances on the floor
Unlike these ridiculous comments about the channel doing well and needing to grow/add to the team which is awesome- I actually have a relevant question. How well do these Bissell models hold their own against the Shark HydroVac (corded and cordless models) or even the Tinecos? Really interested in purchasing one for our vinyl plank floors (I even used our carpet cleaner on them to not have to scrub them the old fashioned way 😂), but can't decide which brand/model to go with.
I have that problem what I do is I use my Dewalt oscillating multi tool with a scotch brite scrubbing pad attached to the sandpaper holder and ajax to scrub the grout lines. Is it tedious and hard on the knees Yes but it's quicker and less tiring than using muscle power.
Can you please compare the Bissell CrossWave Hydrosteam with Tineco Floor One S5 Steam? Both are corded machines that release steam so it seems fair. How do they survive the crevice test in terms of leaving water behind? Which one is better at self cleaning? Which one is better at the dried on torture test? I wish I could afford to buy both to find these things out for myself!
Great content as always. However, I just realized that one of the main reasons I watch your videos is because of the usual narrator’s voice. Please bring him back.
Do you know if they updated the drive mechanism for the roller? The gear inside is made of plastic and likes to strip out on the crosswaves/ sanitare hydrosteam.
Really great video. It's true that voice change make the first minute a little bit weird to hear but it doesn't matter in my opinion. This is the best channel about vaccums by far no matter what.
The crosswave is only good for 2-3 years before the brush motor basically fries itself, as the housing that the motor sits in can get wet. Mine started to rust after 3 years of use. Would really recommend doing a tear down of these vacuums and seeing just how low quality their engineering and parts are.
I think your specific Crosswave was only good for 2-3 years. I've had mine for over 4 years as well, with none of the issue you mentioned. It would be nice to have the steam feature though.
Could you PLEASE compare the Crosswave Hydrosteam to the Tineco floor one S5 steam cleaner? I would really like to buy one on Black Friday if they go on sale and I trust your reviews.
Me too!!! I am stuck between them to. Both have cons, Bissell Crosswavw Hydrosteam leave streaks and Tineco brand have to be repairs tooooo much. Which did you decide?
I would like to see a test with clinker floor and basically fat/protein stains. The dirt comes from dogs, our own feet's and the food the children drops. When cleaning tile by tile with wet nappings they become gray despite normal mopping, daily moping with Roborock S7 MAX and vacuum cleaning. The streamer should have an advantage there but I need some proof.
I still don't get why someone would want to vacuum big particles using a HydroSteam when a normal vacuum would do it. Main issue I have is the hardwood floors slowly accumulate dust on the floor which can't be cleaned by a normal vacuum. For this the steam vacuum looks perfect to me. I set robot vacuum to clean the floor for any big particles and use the HydroSteam to sanitize and clean the floor.
What I don’t understand is why does the steam version need to have the front of the roller shrouded? Surely if it just aimed the steam down towards the base of the roller it would quickly get wiped up anyway. It really ruins the ability to pickup larger solids, and just pushes them around.
There is! It’s called the iLife shinebot. There are two versions, a regular and “smart” version that lets you customize more options. It is a little different in that instead of spraying water directly through the roller it sprays right in front of the roller which then scrubs and sucks up the dirty water into a separate tank. It has some limitations though. It doesn’t perform as well on uneven flooring, and it has a hard time climbing over barriers (mostly because it’s designed not to accidentally hop on to the carpet). It isn’t a full replacement for a deep clean. But I use this in combination with another dry robot vacuum. I let the dry one run first, and this one runs after. It isn’t random navigation, and it does offer a few cleaning modes. I prefer it over my spin wave robot mop, which uses two spinning pads with a trickle down water system. Overall, the shinebot may not work for everyone, but it does work for me. I usually run it at the end of the day after the dry vac robot. That way no one is walking around on wet floors. It doesn’t leave the floor very wet, but it doesn’t get it completely dry either. I have a lightly textured tile plank flooring. The grout lines are not flush with the tike, but the machine is still able to pick up easy wet messes in the grout. Overall I like it and am happy with it. It does take some time to clean everything but it’s different than you having to physically clean everything. You can really just listen out for it while you do other things.
@@ElectricApe. I wonder why they don’t use double rollers (counter-rotating), and have the entire weight of the machine sit on them to add more downward pressure. There’s also the added benefit of no wheels to scratch your floor or get crap in. For example the Karcher FC7 does this, but it only squeegees the rollers, no vacuum unfortunately.
I'm torn between buying a BISSELL Crosswave Hydrosteam (corded with steaming) or a Tineco S7 Pro (cordless without steaming) for my needs. Both seem reliable, but I'm concerned about durability since I can't access warranty service in Brazil. Any experiences or advice? Thank you.
Batteries across all brands wear out in 2-5 years and the Tineco's battery is not replaceable. You would be better off with the corded Bissell Crosswave HydroSteam or regular corded Bissell Crosswave. The most reliable would be a regular steam mop or Bissell Spinwave because they don't have a vacuum and have less parts to break.
If durability and longevity is an issue, just get a regular ole pail and mop. You buy these to use and throw when it spoils in a year or two. Period. If you can’t afford to replace them, then you probably shouldn’t be buying them to begin with
The Crosswave can definitely be used on carpets. They even have a carpet brush you can get separately, or in kits w/ replacement brushes and filters. The do a surface cleaning, though only for area rugs. You can ruin a medium or high pile carpet w/ these, as they aren't strong enough to get all the water that goes deeper in the fibres, so they can cause mold issues. For light area rugs, they apparently do a great job at a light cleaning and can even get out some more surface stains too.
Great video and great channel. I’m always confused why people not just you test large debris as this is a mopping device. I think I use mine for cleaning the floors not picking up spill SpaghettiOs or other large debris. It makes no sense because you’re gonna spend all your time cleaning the tanks andunit when you could’ve just wiped up the spill and then mopped it
Tineco is way better than bissell, bissells filters smell bad after use unlike the tineco, my bissell crosswave broke 2 times!! bissells customer service is bad and sluggish
I havew herd you say a few times the steam is probably better because of sterilizing but the water temp didnt seem to be high enough to kill much of anything, maybe do a test with bacteria and see
Wow! I can't believe no one has answered your question yet. 🤔 The Hydrosteam uses the Bissell cleaning solutions & they smell even more AMAZING when run through that steamer. Very happy with mine!
Hello, I see a lot of comments of people saying where is the previous or original narrator? he’s still here the vacuum wars 2.0 made a lot of changes including new narrators but the original guy is still here they just have a different narrator in each video so you will probably hear him in the next video.
The crosswave hydrosteam and these style units are advertised to "refresh" carpets. They don't provide the deeper cleaning that a dedicated carpet cleaner is designed to do.
Would you guys recommend the hydro steam or the bissell big green. I want whatever would clean carpets the best. Would probably be a decently sized area around a whole floor.
No contest the Bissell Big Green Professional Carpet cleaner is the better cleaner, it's a commercial machine and the same one you can rent at the grocery store/hardware store. The Big Green has larger tanks so less refilling, it also cleans forward and backward where the Rug Doctor only cleans on the backward pass. The Revolution HyrdroSteam is based on the smaller ProHeat Revolution. The HyrdoSteam Crosswave only wet wipes rugs.
There are a few videos that do complete the big green to some others, but the hydro steam carpet cleaner is fairly new and I don’t believe they’ve gotten to it. In previous tests the 2x revolution has outperformed even the larger machines like the big green, and that may be to the fact that it has 2 scrubbing rollers. I would say that it does depend on your situation. The 2x is much easier to use and store, and is extremely effective. To say it wet wipes the carpets is inaccurate. It does a great job of deep cleaning the carpets as it has great suction and different options for how much water is put out. If you want a light refresh vs an extra deep clean you can select less or more water to be dispensed. It’s also easier to maneuver when compared to the big green. Having used both I definitely prefer the results of the 2x and the use. The big green is great and it’s rented at stores, but if you get a sale on the 2x revolution it becomes the more economical choice after just a few uses. Plus it’s easier to get out a fresh stain vs. waiting to rent a cleaner and tackling it. Definitely spend some time watching the carpet cleaning videos. And as a note I recommend the 2x revolution pet pro over the “regular” 2x version because it has the added ability to easy access the brush rolls for cleaning, as well as the stain shot feature. Method is also important. So personally I recommend dry vacuuming really well in all directions. Doing a “lighter” pass with your cleaning solution and giving it some dwell time and then doing a “wetter” pass with just clean water only followed by several dry passes. The alternative is using a pump sprayer (or spray bottle if you want to torture your arm and hands) to apply the cleaning solution liberally across the carpet followed by wet rinse and dry passes. The solution does work great if you don’t follow it with a rinse but my preference is to rinse to avoid the carpets becoming dirty again quickly. I do know the 2x has a handheld hose attachment. I cannot recall if the big green does. You may not need the 2x hydrosteam- especially if it’s out of the budget, but I do really like the 2x pet pro. And for really tough (non protein) messes you could always use a smaller steamer separate to pretreat it. I actually have a big steamer and I’ll use the steam head brush in between my chemical and rinse cycles if it’s a super deep clean. The best results you’ll get are when you take the time to take the right steps. Make sure you know what kind of material you’re working with and how it will react to your cleaners by spot checking first. And use the appropriate cleaner for whatever the stain is. You may need an enzyme cleaner for some pet stains, etc. I’d advise against the TikTok trends as many of them don’t follow professional methods or advice and tend to use way too much of the wrong soaps. That’s a whole other discussion though. Anyway I’m sorry this is so long but I hope it helps. Edited to add: Vacuum wars does have a review of the hydrosteam and the big green does offer a handlheld attachment. Additionally I want to clarify that yes the big green has more suction power and cleans very well. It just isn’t in my opinion what the average household needs. It’s better for larger jobs or doing the whole house at once. It is large and heavier and more difficult to maneuver though. I guess it depends on your use case. But the big green might be more than you need for your home.
@@aval5098 There are so many Bissell machines. My wet wipe comment was only for the Crosswave HydroSteam. I mentioned it because Bissell says that both the regular Crosswave and Crosswave HydroSteam can refresh area rugs. Since both Crosswaves have softer brushrolls for hard floors it is more akin to wiping than scrubbing from a regular carpet cleaner.
I can’t seem to find how hot the steam is nor if it is directed to the floor. I see it coming out but the floor remains cold. Makes no sense. Tineco tells you how hot the steam is.
this is what happens when a ch becomes "big" even Doug don't do solo car reviews anymore! kinda sucks when UA-camrs have became what they set out to standout from!
The new vacuum wars 2.0 thing made a lot of changes and voices is one of them they change voices in every video so you will probably here the original guy in the next video.
The laws of physics, and the energy density of current state batteries. Creating steam means this vacuum uses 3 times more power than its unsteaming equivalent. Current cordless vacuums already kind of suck compared to their corded equivalents because batteries can only hold so much power, if you want to increase the runtime or suction power, it takes more batteries, and even more weight, which now eliminates the convenient factor to using it. It’s all a big trade-off. Once you add steam, then you need significantly more battery. I’ve heard of (can’t remember the name) a cordless “Steam” mop, but without reading any reviews, I can guarantee you it isn’t very good, or at a minimum, it doesn’t produce an adequate amount of steam to actually accomplish anything, because of well… physics!
The challenge is battery life. The best batteries on the market are those used in the Ego line of home tools like the weedeaters, mowers and blowers. We don't have anything near that power in the wet/dry vacuum lineup. If only Ego would make one.
Huh, no real comparison to the competition? No mention of battery life? No mention of how easy they are to clean? This feels more like an ad for these than an actual review... Extremely sad for this channel
Nobody ever brings this up but these devices are absolutely abhorrent for stairs... For all the types of these all in ones, I haven't seen one that can go from floor to handling my stairs.
I did not find this to be very comprehensive. It doesn't address many issues plaguing the crosswave previous crosswave like it always leaving behind excecc water it accumulating dirt in extremely hard to clean places and the very mediocre self clean function. I would have liked to know if there were improvements here
Let's be real, all of the Bissell crosswave models suck. I bought the X7 and I regret it. The vacuum part is pretty good but it's absolutely TERRIBLE as a mop. First off it leaves wheel streaks no matter what I do. (I also know multiple people who own various Bissell crosswaves and they all have that same problem) Second, you can't use it as a spot mop like I was hoping because you have to rinse and dry the entire thing every single time you mop anything up 🤦 You're much better off getting a decent cordless vac and a Shark steam mop.

Have you done a review on the steam and vac options out there? I only know of the Bissell Symphony. Why has that option not taken off @VacuumWars

Hello👋When to replace the filter and brush?How often?
The crosswave is only good for 2-3 years before the brush motor basically fries itself, as the housing that the motor sits in can get wet. Mine started to rust after 3 years of use. Would really recommend doing a tear down of these vacuums and seeing just how low quality their engineering and parts are.

Thank you! 😃
Can't wait to see the overall show down!
with steam, Bissell becoming real all-in-one vaccum cleaner!
I like these hard floor wet/dry vacuums
I always trust you the most when looking to get a new vaccum.
How about edge cleaning? Or streaking? I had a Crosswave several years ago and it cleaned pretty well, but it left streaks, so it got returned.
I just purchased a HF3. It cleans about a 1/4 inch from a wall. I'm still very happy with mine.
The crosswave hydrosteam really improved on the streaks! It’s waaaay better than the older crosswaves
is it ok to add boiled water in the hf3 or at least half & half?
what would you estimate as the cost per use per square foot? the hydrosteam has cleaning solution, or can you use your own concoction?
Could you PLEASE compare the Crosswave Hydrosteam to the Tineco floor one S5 steam cleaner? I would really like to buy one on Black Friday if they go on sale and I trust your reviews.

Does it work with tile flooring? My house is all tiles and carpet 😢
I'm torn between buying a BISSELL Crosswave Hydrosteam (corded with steaming) or a Tineco S7 Pro (cordless without steaming) for my needs. Both seem reliable, but I'm concerned about durability since I can't access warranty service in Brazil. Any experiences or advice? Thank you.
Batteries across all brands wear out in 2-5 years and the Tineco's battery is not replaceable. You would be better off with the corded Bissell Crosswave HydroSteam or regular corded Bissell Crosswave.

Seems to me that the ONLY steam vacuum to buy is the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam.
Can you please tell if Bissel Hydrosteam or Crosswave can be used on CARPET floors? Or are they more designed towards hard floors?
The Crosswave can definitely be used on carpets. They even have a carpet brush you can get separately, or in kits w/ replacement brushes and filters.

You may not need the 2x hydrosteam- especially if it’s out of the budget, but I do really like the 2x pet pro. And for really tough (non protein) messes you could always use a smaller steamer separate to pretreat it. I actually have a big steamer and I’ll use the steam head brush in between my chemical and rinse cycles if it’s a super deep clean.
The best results you’ll get are when you take the time to take the right steps. Make sure you know what kind of material you’re working with and how it will react to your cleaners by spot checking first. And use the appropriate cleaner for whatever the stain is. You may need an enzyme cleaner for some pet stains, etc.
I’d advise against the TikTok trends as many of them don’t follow professional methods or advice and tend to use way too much of the wrong soaps. That’s a whole other discussion though.
Anyway I’m sorry this is so long but I hope it helps.
Edited to add: Vacuum wars does have a review of the hydrosteam and the big green does offer a handlheld attachment.
Additionally I want to clarify that yes the big green has more suction power and cleans very well. It just isn’t in my opinion what the average household needs. It’s better for larger jobs or doing the whole house at once. It is large and heavier and more difficult to maneuver though.
I guess it depends on your use case. But the big green might be more than you need for your home.
@@aval5098 There are so many Bissell machines. My wet wipe comment was only for the Crosswave HydroSteam. I mentioned it because Bissell says that both the regular Crosswave and Crosswave HydroSteam can refresh area rugs. Since both Crosswaves have softer brushrolls for hard floors it is more akin to wiping than scrubbing from a regular carpet cleaner.
This machine isn't intended to clean carpets. It's a hard floor cleaner. It comes with a brush roll for area rugs, but that's it.
I mean, unless these things are using the Ego battery technology, I'm going to prefer corded every single time.
Can you use without steam
Can you still include dog hair on your vacuums designed for hardwood floors.
Hi, I got the hydrowave and it’s great however it is SO loud lol.
What about on Laminated flooring 🤔 is what i got now
Check with the floor manufacturer if you aren't certain any floorcare product is appropriate.
The video is basically all about laminated flooring 😂
Our LVT can’t have certain cleaners or steam. The floors are ok, but in the future we will get something that can be steam mopped.
The crosswave Hydrosteam is my favorite crosswave because the steam cleans better
Well back to the new trial voices... I've commented on all the videos, just not the same and worth listening to.
I can’t seem to find how hot the steam is nor if it is directed to the floor. I see it coming out but the floor remains cold. Makes no sense. Tineco tells you how hot the steam is.
Isn’t steam bad for wood floors???
So if it's actually steaming why are people complaining about it?
Maaaaan we need vacuum wars review for eufy mach v1
Are you going to be doing the bespoke jet ai? From Samsung
no offense but I like the old voice and also here before thousands of comments were here
this is what happens when a ch becomes "big" even Doug don't do solo car reviews anymore! kinda sucks when UA-camrs have became what they set out to standout from!
It sounds like AI. I don’t like it either.
The new vacuum wars 2.0 thing made a lot of changes and voices is one of them they change voices in every video so you will probably here the original guy in the next video.
No offence but I don't like your comment
“sucks when UA-camrs have become what they set out to stand out from!”
that literally doesn’t apply here in the slightest. Just pure nonsense
If anyone invents a cordless steam that would outsell everything. Not sure what the big challenge is.
The laws of physics, and the energy density of current state batteries. Creating steam means this vacuum uses 3 times more power than its unsteaming equivalent. Current cordless vacuums already kind of suck compared to their corded equivalents because batteries can only hold so much power, if you want to increase the runtime or suction power, it takes more batteries, and even more weight, which now eliminates the convenient factor to using it. It’s all a big trade-off. Once you add steam, then you need significantly more battery. I’ve heard of (can’t remember the name) a cordless “Steam” mop, but without reading any reviews, I can guarantee you it isn’t very good, or at a minimum, it doesn’t produce an adequate amount of steam to actually accomplish anything, because of well… physics!
The challenge is battery life. The best batteries on the market are those used in the Ego line of home tools like the weedeaters, mowers and blowers. We don't have anything near that power in the wet/dry vacuum lineup. If only Ego would make one.
I legit subscribed because you said subscribe
Nice! Thank you!
I'm shocked that the HF3 washes with cold water? That makes little sense for me
Can someone help me to choose between the bissell HF2 PRO and the HYDROSTEAM please ? (i already have a bissel Vac and Steam) Thank you ^^
Huh, no real comparison to the competition? No mention of battery life? No mention of how easy they are to clean?
This feels more like an ad for these than an actual review... Extremely sad for this channel
Nobody ever brings this up but these devices are absolutely abhorrent for stairs... For all the types of these all in ones, I haven't seen one that can go from floor to handling my stairs.
HF3 or Hydrovac???
Who is this new fella?
Hf3 vs tineco
I did not find this to be very comprehensive. It doesn't address many issues plaguing the crosswave previous crosswave like it always leaving behind excecc water it accumulating dirt in extremely hard to clean places and the very mediocre self clean function. I would have liked to know if there were improvements here
😩keep the old guy!
They have a different voice in every video so you will hear the original guy soon. It’s part of the new vacuum wars 2.0 thing.
not interested in 'sanitizing' my floors. I walk on them not touch them with my hands
IM SCARED OF CHANGE
Come back this afternoon for our original guy. 😉
😂😂
@@VacuumWars People are so mean, you're all doing great work
I don't know
Please bring back the previous narrator.
Let's be real, all of the Bissell crosswave models suck. I bought the X7 and I regret it. The vacuum part is pretty good but it's absolutely TERRIBLE as a mop.
First off it leaves wheel streaks no matter what I do. (I also know multiple people who own various Bissell crosswaves and they all have that same problem)
Second, you can't use it as a spot mop like I was hoping because you have to rinse and dry the entire thing every single time you mop anything up 🤦
You're much better off getting a decent cordless vac and a Shark steam mop.
Who are you ?
The people freaking out about a different narrator are idiots. Just be happy the channel is growing enough for them to NEED another narrator
Where is our original guy? This one sounds similar but super young. I had to look at what year this video was from.
Taking a break??? Does it matter?????? Stfu.
Same here. It started and I thought it wasn't vacuum wars.
Our OG is still here doing videos and narrating; we just have been looking to add another narrator to the mix so it's a little easier to keep up.
Can we bring daddy back thank you again. I like you but it’s not the same fix.
