Bissell CrossWave Edge
3 sources$229.99as of Oct 11

Bissell aims the CrossWave Edge Cordless at busy households, pet owners in particular, and prices it accordingly. Reviewers singled out its ZeroGap Technology for cleaning right up to the edges, and liked that it vacuums and mops in one pass. The self-cleaning cycle doesn't fully do its job, and the cleaning solution runs out quickly. For everyday cleaning it's good value; anyone who needs stronger performance should look at higher-end alternatives.

Strengths
  • — Features ZeroGap Technology for edge cleaning flush against walls and baseboards
  • — Combines vacuuming and mopping in a single pass for mixed messes
  • — Includes vacuum-only mode for added flexibility
Watch-outs
  • — Self-cleaning cycle does not fully clean the roller
  • — Cleaning solution runs out quickly during use

NARWAL S20 Pro
Ranked #4 in Best Wet Dry Vacuum Mops
NARWAL S20 Pro
1 source$324as of Oct 17

The NARWAL S20 Pro is a cordless, self-propelled vacuum mop for hard floors, weighing 9.41 lb with a 0.79-litre clean-water tank and a self-cleaning, hot-air-drying dock. Vacuum Wars measured top-tier mopping, 151 points in its stain test and a combined score of 175 that tied for first, while noting low usable suction and a smaller-than-average tank. Business Insider found it picked up everything from flour to syrup in a single forward pass, cleaned flush to walls and left the brush roll dry after its self-clean cycle, but did a poor job when pulled backwards. It suits buyers who want mopping results close to flagship machines in a lighter package; anyone who cleans with long back-and-forth strokes or has rugs should look elsewhere.

Strengths
  • — Tied first in Vacuum Wars' combined mopping test with 175 points, against a 138 average
  • — Cleans flush to walls, with no dry gap left at the edge in Business Insider's test
  • — Self-cleaning and hot-air drying left the brush roll fully dry
Watch-outs
  • — Cleans poorly in reverse; coffee and cereal caught behind the wheels
  • — Usable suction measured 0.55 kPa, well below the 1 kPa category average
  • — No LED headlight on the floor head to show up debris in dim areas

How they stack up

Bissell CrossWave Edge

The Bissell CrossWave Edge cleans flush against walls with ZeroGap Technology and includes a vacuum-only mode. Its self-cleaning cycle does not fully clean the roller, while the DREAME H12 PRO Vacuum Mop finishes self-cleaning with hot air drying of the roller. At 9.5 lb it is lighter than the H12 PRO at 10.8 lb and the DREAME G10 Pro Wet Dry Vacuum Mop at 11.2 lb, and its 30-minute runtime matches the Tineco Floor ONE i5 Stretch.

NARWAL S20 Pro

Listed at $323.99, the S20 Pro is a lighter, lower-priced alternative to the Bissell CrossWave Edge, the DREAME H12 PRO and the Tineco Floor ONE i5 Stretch, weighing 9.41 lb with a self-propelled head. Its measured strengths are mopping and edge cleaning; buyers who clean in long back-and-forth strokes should weigh its weak reverse pickup.
