Here's what I like and don't like so much about it so far (I'll update this review if my experience changes over time - one edit added to the end): Pros: 1. I saw dust bunnies come from a few inches away to get sucked into the vacuum, which doesn't always happen with uprights. I reviewed the quick start guide to make sure I didn't miss anything, but this is one of the easiest vacuums I've assembled and disassembled for cleaning. Not only does everything snap in and out easily, the attachment points are clearly labeled in large, friendly letters that I don't need my bifocals to read. Other vacuums I've used take a lot longer to get used to, which seems trivial until you spend a couple hours pushing the wrong buttons because you're not paying attention. The swivel head does a very good job of cornering in any direction, and the handle bends down far enough to get a decent distance under furniture. While I was cleaning the first time, I knocked a full glass of milk all over the floor. The dirty water cannister has lots of places for pet hair to collect, and I'm sure not going to wash that all down the sink to cause clogs. The best bet is rinsing it with a hose in the yard, but paper towels over the trash can also work. In my experience, washing rugs without proper extraction actually makes them get dirtier a lot faster. The multi-surface worked fine on my tile and vinyl bathroom floors, but it left my hardwoods really streaky. I ended up substituting my Bona Professional Hardwood Concentrate, 1 Gallon, which is what my floor manufacturer and installer both recommended anyway. The solution tank goes empty a few minutes before you realize it (the brush stays wet and trigger light comes on, so it looks like it's working), so you'll probably have to go back over some areas. The dirty water tank is also supposed to make a higher-pitched sound when it's full, but I've never been able to tell any difference. While I like the logical arrangement, it's MUCH too easy to hit the trigger and/or the hardwood buttons inadvertently. Many, many times I'll be moving the machine, or trying to get under something, or just cleaning, and I'll see the front lights go on to tell me I'm hitting the water trigger. My favorite vacuum (if one can have a favorite vacuum) is the Shark NV650 (current model Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away TruePet (NV752)), which has spoiled me with its excellent attachments, headlight, and lift-away handle that lets me get under everything in my house. Overall, I'd love to see Bissell improve this cleaner enough to mean I really don't need a separate vacuum. I still pull out a regular vacuum for the area rugs, and to use the attachments for more thorough cleaning because of this unit's limitations."
"For the filter after I clean the house I rinse off the debris and soak it in water with dawn dish soap overnight then rinse and let air dry and no more smell to it and it looks brand new."
"I’ve used Bona on my hardwood for years and although it looked pretty good I know it wasn’t clean. I’ve also used a Hoover Floormate about once a month and although it did clean the floor more than just spraying and spreading Bona around weekly, it just seemed to put too much water out on the hardwood. (Not for deep cleaning though). Now the disgusting part – The dirty water reservoir! The unit is also very easy to use, gets close to baseboards, swivels to get under things and is light."
"The motor assembly is now junk because it can not be repaired (by design) , even by a professional. The complex and powerful motor unit is made of a very easy to break plastic that appears similar to Bakelite a thermo-setting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde," if it is Bakelite -. again not environmentally friendly." I am left with a pile of useless parts and not determined to repair this unit because the first bearing was destroyed with moisture in only 60 days."
The Bissell CrossWave is a revolutionary, all-in-one, multi-surface cleaning system that vacuums and washes floors at the same time. Smart-touch controls on the handle allow you to easily switch between cleaning hard floors and area rugs and control your solution with an on-demand solution trigger.

"Since I don’t plan to move the furniture and there is only one sanding left in my floor I decided to use them anyway."
"I have hardwood floors and one set is under a couch that keeps it from hitting the wall and tall window. After a couple of days, the area that didn't have contact rose higher and lifted off the ground looking odd."
"First night the bed falls in on itself when we were doing the inaugural "new house coitus"."
"I love these."
"We did cut them down so they wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb, and that was quite difficult due to our scissors and the thickness of the pad, but that really has no effect on how the product functions."
"I attempted to fix the issue initially by using sticky felt circles for the bottoms but what ended up happening is the bed actually wore through my newly finished wood floors creating dull circles where the feet sit. It seems with the other sticky circles it still lets the bed slide around and this is where the problem happened. I wanted to mark them down a star due to their somewhat high cost but I didn't because the product does work and if used from the start will save possibly hundreds in repairs."
"I got them to keep my couch from sliding on a hardwood floor."

The 86 comes with a 5 year warranty, a black power chord, and an accessory kit. The BG10 comes with a one year warranty, a yellow detachable power chord , and no accessory kit ( must be purchased separately for an additional 55 dollars). I have seen several reviews on this thread where people say that they bought the "Commercial " BG10 over the "Professional" 86T3 because the BG10 has 2 motors whereas the 86 has only one motor."
"The small picture I posted should give you an idea of 1-2 passes. Every unit I've used has had annoying tanks that are hard to put back or take off or plastic pieces that fall off, break, you forget how to unclip and just a hassle to take down and fill with water. It's not heavy to move so you can have the kids or your wife do it :). This is the type of carpet cleaner that will get you laid."
"Very easy to operate, and it has paid for itself many times over due to its ease of use!"
"I like having the separate clean water and dirty water."
"My old carpet cleaner years ago left lots of water, this one does not and dries in only a few hours."
"We love this machine - it is easy to use and really cleans the carpet."
"Does exactly what it's supposed, no disappointments."

Find Best Price at Amazon"People are knocking it for poor battery performance and lack of suction, however, keep in mind, this does not replace a full size vacuum. As for battery performance - I've used it 3-4 times before I decided to charge it; not because it died or loses power, but just personal preference, and that is not an inconvenience at all. People also complain about the corner brushes not on the newer model, however, this has not prohibited me from sucking things up that were nearly touching the baseboards - anything tighter, you would need an actual broom/pan. In all, keep in mind what people are rating this low for and what they're using it for - for me, it was to clean up the food left over (mostly) in the kitchen and has been a great addition."
"My husband and I purchased one of these Shark Cordless Carpet Sweepers and couple of years ago. I have a bigger vacuum I use weekly and I have cleaning ladies come in every couple of weeks to do the heavy cleaning and wanted to use the Shark regularly around the cat's litter box, the kitchen and a quick run over the carpeting especially fuzz and things that tend to show on a light carpet. I reading some of the reviews, I realized that others have had the same problem with that particular sweeper, so I decided to go back with the Shark. some said it only picked up going forward and when you pulled it back, it put what you had just swept up back on the floor. It picks up well both on my hardwood kitchen floor, my tile bathroom floor and carpeting through the rest of the place. Also several reviewers complained about the suction, but since this is a carpet SWEEPER and not a VACUUM I don't believe that it has suction so to speak of . My daughter and her fiancé bought me a Eureka vacuum for the carpeting (the Shark vacuum with the motor up by the top of the handle is a real back killer and the collection cup is too small and you have to take it apart into five pieces just to get to the cup and one of the filters is cardboard so it is going to be sold the vacuum that is not this sweeper), so I don't need to use this sweeper too often for the carpeting now."
"This sweeper really picks up a lot of dirt on my wooden floors and carpet."
"Works perfectly for my small apartment."
"I use this everyday and works great."
"It's light weight and easy to use."
"I like the carpet sweeper however it was listed as used very good condition."
"DISAPPOINTED...TAKES SOOO LONG TO RECHARGE BATTERY."
