Speed & Efficiency
Bissell CrossWave Pet Pro Multi Surface Floor Cleaners aren’t just speedy, but also efficient and versatile. One minute you’re cleaning area rugs, the next you’re wet mopping your sealed hardwood floors. Part of its efficiency comes from the cleaner you use, whether it’s for refreshing rugs or targeting pet supplies, like food and whatnot.
Bin Capacity & Maintenance
Since the Bissell Pro Multi Surface Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner provides multi surface cleaning, it gets pretty dirty. To prevent this, it uses a two-tank system; one uses clean water, the other is for collecting dirty water. The tanks are 830ml and 550ml, respectively. And cleaning both takes nothing more than a rinse with soap and hot water. It’s a lot easier to clean than the Bosch Vacuum.

Durability
CrossWave Multi Surface Wet Dry Vac doesn’t have the greatest durability—it’s average. One trait in particular is the lack of plastic pieces sticking out from the vacuum. You won’t have to worry about pieces breaking off, which is obviously great. Also, the wheels are a smooth rubber, preventing scratches on your delicate flooring.
Value
This high-end, multi-surface vacuum can replace both your mop and your vacuum, plus a specialized pet multi-surface formula carpet cleaner. And it’s only $149! So yes, it’s an amazing deal, despite only running for 30 minutes at a time. Space your cleaning out and it will never become a problem. For shop vacs, you have a choice between the DeWalt Vacuum and Ridgid Vacuum.
Bissell Wet Dry Vac Wrap Up
The Bissell Wet Dry Vac may only run for 30 minutes, but in that 30 minutes it brings you excellent results. You’re always left with a clean floor, because of its two-tank system separating the dirty floor from the clean water. And its tangle-free, multi-surface pet brush roll is dynamite for lifting pet hair from carpets. It even cleans itself when not in use!
