Review on BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Multi Surface 3011: Advanced Cleaning Power at Your Fingertips by Nikki Williams

I am someone who can organize the whole day, do the dishes without any problems and do the laundry without complaining. HOWEVER I seem to hate mopping floors. My house has hardwood floors, carpet, tile, and linoleum, and each needs a different product: a broom, vacuum, mop, or a combination of these. Imagine my joy at having a "vacuum cleaner" that does it all and is cordless too! It includes a vacuum cleaner, two roller brushes and two bottles of cleaning solution. I love that they include an extra brush and two bottles of solution as it lasts a while and you can try their cleaner right away without having to buy extra. Now for the functionality, I'm really impressed with the capabilities of this vacuum cleaner. It handles my short rugs perfectly, jumping straight to the floor at the touch of a button and rolling in the kitchen and bathroom at the touch of a button for wet cleaning! I love using just one product and the fact that it's cordless makes it that much easier to carry from room to room and surface to surface. I've used it as a traditional dry cleaner on my carpets and hardwood floors with great results and as a wet cleaner on my kitchen and bathroom floors with satisfactory results. It's not good for really stuck spots and can't get right to the walls, so extra work is required to keep floors completely clean. However, it has reduced the time and physical effort required to clean floors from light soiling and everyday spills, and I'm on cloud nine with it. Now this vacuum cleaner is really very maintenance-intensive. The vacuum roller must be cleaned after each use. It has a self-cleaning feature that removes most of the dirt from the roller, but I have found that hair can get tangled in the roller and need to be plucked/trimmed. This might seem like a downside to some, but I would have preferred to have had the hair wrapped around a detachable roller rather than going into the vacuum where it would slow things down over time. In addition, the waste basket of this vacuum cleaner must be emptied after each use. Also. This includes the filter and filter basket, as well as the main basket with dirt and dirty water inside. It's quite a frustrating process that I know not many people will like - I certainly don't like it - but again, I can control the maintenance status of the vacuum cleaner and take better care of it. And now the most interesting. Pros: Weight: This vacuum cleaner is fairly light. The construction still feels solid and has some weight, but it's light enough that I can carry it with one hand and I don't find it difficult to climb stairs. - Swivel: This vacuum cleaner is very easy to operate during use, and the swivel tilting mechanism feels comfortable and smooth during operation. - Charging: I was a bit worried about how bulky the charging cradle for this vacuum would be, but its footprint is nice and small. The nice thing is that there's a slot for an extra roller, as well as a bottle of cleaning solution built right into the charging cradle. not cleaning all the rooms in my house at once. However, I cleaned about 4-5 rooms at the same time without any problems. Accessories: Because the caster is detachable, you can purchase different types of casters for different floor types. Both casters are available in multiple finishes, but I love that I can get casters specifically for carpet or hard floors if I want. They also offer different cleaning solutions for different floor types and messes.- Design: I just think this is a cute vacuum cleaner! Overall, this vacuum is a knockout for my lifestyle. I'm really very happy with that. Were it not for all the necessary maintenance and the high price, I would have easily given 5 stars. However, I am very happy that I now use it on my floors.
