BISSELL CrossWave 1.0 Multi-Surface Wet & Dry Vacuum, 3-in-1 Vacuum Wash Dry, 560W, Corded — Model 1713

What is the BISSELL CrossWave 1.0? A 560W corded multi-surface cleaner that vacuums, washes and dries hard floors and area rugs in a single pass. Instead of sweeping first and mopping after, you do both at once — which is the core reason people buy this machine over a conventional vacuum.

How does it clean three ways at once? A motorised brush roll scrubs the floor while cleaning solution is applied, and the 560W suction lifts the dirty water straight back up. The floor is left damp rather than wet, so it dries in minutes instead of the extended wait after conventional mopping.

Does dirty water mix with the clean solution? No. Two-tank technology keeps them completely separate — a 0.6L clean water tank and a 0.8L dirty water tank. You're always applying fresh solution and water to the floor, never redistributing what you've just picked up. That's the fundamental difference from a mop and bucket.

What surfaces can I use it on? Sealed hard floors — tile, marble, laminate, sealed wood, vinyl, linoleum — plus area rugs. The microfibre and nylon brush roll is designed to handle both in the same pass, so you can move from a tiled floor onto a rug without stopping to change settings.

How do I switch between floors and rugs? Via the Smart Touch Control on the handle. You adjust the setting with your fingertip as you move between surfaces, without bending down or stopping the machine.

Is it heavy to push around? At 5.2kg it's light for this class of machine, and swivel steering lets it turn easily around furniture legs and into corners. That matters more than it sounds — a heavy multi-surface cleaner is one you stop using after a month.

How messy is it to empty? The dirty water tank lifts out for emptying, and an easy-clean storage tray catches debris separately so you're not fishing hair and grit out of the tank. The brush roll removes through an access window for rinsing or replacement.

Is it noisy? It's rated at 80 dB, which is normal for a machine combining suction and a motorised brush roll. Comparable to a standard upright vacuum — not something to run late at night in an apartment.

Does it need special cleaning solution? BISSELL's Multi-Surface formula is what it's designed around, and it's what delivers the streak-free finish on hard floors. A starter bottle is included. This is an ongoing consumable, so factor in repurchasing.

How it compares to the Bissell cleaners you already stock

You now have three Bissell machines that solve genuinely different problems:

Choosing between them: the CrossWave is for regular floor cleaning where you'd otherwise vacuum then mop. The TurboClean is for periodically deep-cleaning carpets. The 4720E is for treating one stain without dragging out a full machine. Many households end up with two — a CrossWave for routine floors, and a 4720E for spills.

Who is this for? Homes with predominantly tiled or hard flooring — which describes most UAE villas and apartments — where vacuuming and mopping are two separate weekly jobs. Particularly worthwhile for households with pets or young children, where floors need frequent attention. Also practical for serviced apartments and small hospitality operators handling turnovers in-house.
