BISSELL CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro Bundle

UPDATE about a few weeks later... We debated if its something to keep or not, for our tile floors. The fact that you have to clean it at almost each use so counter productive it makes ZERO sense. So I am opting for buying a vac only model, and continue to use a manual mop for spot cleaning. Which is often what is needed, almost every other day. I am NOT gonna take this thing out, spot clean and then clean the machine. That is insane. Why would anyone do that vs taking a tiny more effort and manually cleaning the original mess, LOL?! Just so you think technology is doing the work? LOL . News alert! Its NOT, it hardly cleans stuck on dirt even using the soaker a bunch. It also drips often. Its just an extra machine to maintain! For full cleaning of the area, I will continue using the steam mop (which we love) that gets out anything that is stuck on for overall cleaning once a week or longer. So this is technology FAILURE! Also the fact that its spray water so easily, we notice it smells even with the tiniest of messes, and you have to empty it out. Wear do you empty it out?!!! In the kitchen sink? If you dont have a utility sink, that disgusting stuff goes in your tiny bath sink? Nope, you will get water all over. You need to either take it to the yard or in the kitchen sink. I dont care if you have to once in a while use the kitchen sink for really dirty stuff, and all the hair. NAAAAH!!!! Use the manual mop that has the flat microfiber pad and toss that in a basket outside, and I dont have to think about it for next time I do dirty towel washing. Even if I get my hands in there and switch the roller, it still stinks. So this is going back for sure! ---- I got the Crosswave X7 pet pro. It cant get edges well. It cant lower itself to get under surfaces as the head tilts up and cant go low. It as loud as a plug in, and its suction is very good on low. The front has ZERO adjustments, and anything larger than a 8th of an inch, like broken glass, or pebble, or dry cat food, its likely NOT going to pick it up(PetPro??!). One thing good, as some that have multi mode, like the Teneco I had, I had to use a manual setting thats higher. That=less battery time. For spot cleaning this works well. For cleaning an entire room.....Not so much. Also, the wetness is pretty significant unless you go over it dry enough times. So I wont use it on my natural floors.. Which brings me to point that is mind boggling, yet predictable....Which genius designed the water trigger just where you stronger grip fingers are supposed to hold the machine?! I have to use 3 rear fingers, pinky, ring, and barely middle to hold the handle. This is an obvious indicator of NON-US design, let alone MFG. But we expect the latter, not the former! SO I get the floor wet almost regularly, even after I trained my grip to leave my index finger resting and pushing at the side. Harder to maneuver, but its less water accidents due to design flaw. The tanks are enough for about a room size, as you dont need to trigger the water the entire time or even half the time. I would buy 2-3 top models and then decide.As these need to fit specific needs of hard foor. What was nice is that it did well on our rugs, which are very low pile, Persian silk, but I dont use the water and move quick so it doesnt damage. But, the battery life, and suction power are so far tolerable enough to keep using it. We are in 2023, and this is the best the people get? What a crying shame and what low expectations from the public. If you look at this thing, in the past 70+ YEARS of vacuums you would think for a MSRP of 500, this thing would be a BEAST of a workhorse..LOL, you have to baby the thing as its plastic 95+% of the thing. Manufacturers are laughing their way to the bank. I do consulting to electronics engineers and MFGs, and the plan is to make it JUST good enough to be tolerable and just barely reliable enough to repurchase when the planned obsolescence is reached. Much like most of the car industry. While other sectors actually stay performing for some of the sectors.
