• Versatility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.8
  Owners highlight its ability to vacuum and mop hard floors and wash area rugs in a single pass, effectively replacing a separate vacuum and steamer for many mixed-floor homes and making quick pet or kid mess cleanups easier.
• Cord length ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  The roughly 25 foot power cord is long enough to clean most average rooms from a single outlet, though larger spaces and multi-room jobs still require moving the plug.

• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  Tests with rice, cereal, and kitty litter suggest the CrossWave handles larger debris on hard floors without clogging or scattering, usually picking everything up cleanly.
• Mopping performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.5
  For everyday hard-floor mopping it does an excellent job, often leaving tile and hardwood looking noticeably cleaner and shinier than a basic steam mop, though it is still better suited to maintenance cleaning than to restoring deeply stained grout.

• Storage footprint & upright-stand stability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
• Filtration / Dust Containment ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Its filter and wet pickup system trap most dust and grime inside the bin rather than sending it back into the air, and some owners feel it helps reduce allergy-triggering dust compared with dry sweeping or simple mopping.
• Hair Pickup — Carpets ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  On rugs and carpets it can pull up embedded hair and dirt effectively, leaving the pile cleaner, though some people still prefer a dedicated carpet vacuum for large areas.
• Suitability for small spaces ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  The CrossWave’s slimmer, swiveling body makes it easier to maneuver in cramped bathrooms and cluttered kitchens, so many owners see it as a better fit for small apartments and obstacle-filled rooms than bulkier hard-floor cleaners.
• Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
  Overall sentiment is very positive, with many reviewers and even professional cleaners saying it largely lives up to its strong reputation as a convenient all-in-one hard-floor and area-rug cleaner, though some still point out noise, solution costs, and limited deep-restoration power compared with heavy-duty machines.
• Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
• Area Rug Handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.0
  On area rugs it generally performs strongly, lifting dirt and even pet hair while leaving the pile looking refreshed, though very muddy or heavily soiled rugs may still benefit from pre-vacuuming or deeper cleaning.
• Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Routine care involves rinsing the dirty tank, cleaning or replacing the filter, and clearing the brush roll after bigger jobs, with ongoing costs that stay modest if you stretch or DIY the cleaning solution.
