BISSELL CrossWave OmniForce

How long does the battery last and how quickly does it charge?

The CrossWave OmniForce provides 30 minutes of continuous cleaning time on a full charge. This runtime covers approximately 240m² of floor space. The battery fully recharges in just 4 hours using the included charging dock. The 64.7 watt-hour battery maintains consistent suction power throughout the cleaning session, so you won't experience power fade as the battery drains.

What surfaces can this machine clean effectively?

This multi-surface cleaner works on sealed hard floors and area rugs. Hard floor types include laminate, tile, vinyl, sealed hardwood and linoleum. The machine simultaneously vacuums and mops these surfaces in one pass. For area rugs, it provides a refreshing clean by removing surface dirt and debris. The brushroll design prevents damage to delicate surfaces whilst maintaining effective cleaning performance.

How do the three cleaning modes work and when should I use each one?

PowerVac mode handles dry debris like crumbs, pet hair and dust without using water. PowerMop mode tackles wet spills and general mopping with cleaning solution. Turbo Mode delivers maximum suction power for deep cleaning stubborn dirt and heavily soiled areas. You switch between modes instantly using the button controls. Each mode automatically adjusts suction power and water flow for optimal results.

Does the self-cleaning system really work and what maintenance is required?

The automatic self-cleaning cycle flushes dirt and debris from the internal system after each use. This keeps the machine hygienic and prevents odours from developing. You still need to occasionally rinse the brushroll and filter components under the tap for thorough maintenance. The dirty water tank requires emptying after each cleaning session and the clean water tank needs refilling with fresh solution.

How does the anti-clog technology prevent hair wrap issues?

The advanced anti-clog technology uses a specially designed brushroll that prevents hair and debris from tangling around the bristles. This eliminates the frustrating task of cutting away wrapped hair that commonly affects traditional vacuum cleaners. The system maintains consistent cleaning performance even when picking up pet hair, human hair and stringy debris like cotton threads.

How noisy is this machine during operation?

The machine operates at 69 dBA during normal cleaning, which is relatively quiet for a powerful vacuum cleaner. Users report it's surprisingly quiet during regular use. The noise level only increases during the self-cleaning cycle, but this process is brief. At 69 dBA, it's quieter than many corded vacuum cleaners whilst still delivering strong suction performance.

What's included in the box and do I need to buy additional accessories?

The package includes the main unit with one brushroll and filter pre-installed, plus a 236ml bottle of Natural Multi-Surface Pet Cleaning Solution and user guide. The machine comes ready to use straight from the box. You'll eventually need replacement brushrolls, filters and cleaning solution, but the included components provide everything needed to start cleaning immediately.

How much more powerful is this compared to previous CrossWave models?

The CrossWave OmniForce delivers 75% more suction power than previous cordless CrossWave models. This increased power translates to better dirt pickup, more effective wet spill removal and improved cleaning on textured surfaces. The enhanced suction works across all three cleaning modes, making it particularly effective in Turbo Mode for deep cleaning tasks that would challenge less powerful machines.
