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

Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam
1 source$749as of Oct 17

The Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam is a cordless, self-propelled vacuum mop with a steam mode, a self-cleaning dock and a 0.88-litre clean-water tank. Vacuum Wars found it among the strongest hard floor cleaners it has measured, with 151 points in its dried-on stain test, 0.4 g of water left behind and a 75-minute battery run. Popular Science found it handled pet hair, spills and an old berry stain on linoleum, ran far more quietly than a full-size vacuum and never tangled the roller. It suits owners of large hard-floored homes, pets included, who want vacuuming, mopping and steam in one machine; anyone who struggles with a 13.5 lb machine or mainly has carpet should look elsewhere.

Strengths
  • — Scored 151 in Vacuum Wars' dried-on stain test, against a 140-point average
  • — Left 0.4 g of water on the floor in Vacuum Wars' test, against a 1 g average
  • — Ran 75 minutes in Vacuum Wars' battery test, against a 35-minute category average
Watch-outs
  • — Heavy at 6,148 g (13.5 lb), the second-heaviest model Vacuum Wars compared
  • — 0.88-litre water tank is smaller than the 1-litre category average
  • — Not built for deep carpet cleaning; it handles light rug passes only

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.

Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam

At its $749 listing the S9 Artist Steam is a flagship alternative to the Bissell CrossWave Edge, the DREAME H12 PRO and Tineco's own Floor ONE i5 Stretch, distinguished by a dedicated steam mode and a 75-minute measured runtime. Its 13.5 lb weight and 0.88-litre tank are the plain costs of that steam system.
