A:AnswerHi Val - the CrossWave isn't intended to be used as a dry vacuum. It will vacuum and wash your hard floors and area rug at the same time. So for best results, it should always be used with water and BISSELL CrossWave Formula.
A:AnswerThis machine doesn’t use steam to clean. It is a rotating brush and water/detergent dispenser. The water can be any temperature you choose under 140 degrees according to the canister.
A:AnswerThis device is not a rug/carpet shampooer, it's a light vacuum that mops. It's really designed for hard surfaces but can vacuum area rugs ok. The cleaner just wets the brush, it doesn't spray directly on the surface to be cleaned. Use it in that context and it works great!
A:AnswerThis cleaner, vacuums up the dirty water at the same time and it is in a separate container. The floors dry very quickly since it is being vacuumed up.
