It's a more advanced version of the Bissell CrossWave 3-in-1 Multi Surface cleaner, with a sleeker look, which cleans on a variety of surfaces and can even clean itself with the push of a button. This model offers 30 minutes of run-time from the powerful 36V battery: that’s five more minutes than the standard CrossWave Cordless. Not only that, but since cleaning ability has been improved, you’ll be able to cover a wider area on a single charge. I managed to clean my entire downstairs, plus the loft-conversion bedroom and bathroom on a single charge, and I still had a bit of juice remaining.

In terms of noise, I measured the cleaner at 76.9dB, which is similar to a regular cordless vacuum cleaner: you’ll hear it, but it isn’t unpleasant to use. Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max Conclusion Powered by a battery, the Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max provides the freedom of cordless operation, eliminating the hassle of dealing with tangled cords or limited mobility. This makes it easier to maneuver and clean hard-to-reach areas without the constraints of an electrical outlet. Next, I tested its cleaning performance. My kitchen floor often gets quite dirty because I have three cats that regularly walk in and out, bringing in mud from outside. The CrossWave Cordless Max made short work of even toughs stains that some floor cleaners struggle with, leaving a clean and relatively dry floor.

This is ideal if you want to make floors look glossy and give carpets a sort-of deep clean (it really is fantastic; 30 minutes with this vacuum and half the house looked like it had undergone a complete makeover). For cleaning, there’s a 0.83-litre tank that takes a mixture of detergent and water. There are handy fill lines for large and small areas, which means you won’t be wasting detergent. It couldn't be easier to put the CrossWave Max together: simply slot the handle into the body of the Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max to assemble it. This cleaner also claims to be able to handle stains on rugs, so I put it to the test on a dried-on ketchup stain. Here, performance was okay, getting rid of most of the stain, leaving only a trace amount behind.
