Our Verdict
BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max
BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam
The BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam is better than the BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max. The HydroSteam provides better debris pickup performance on bare floors, and its steam-release function results in superior stain-clearing performance. On the other hand, the CrossWave Cordless Max has a lighter, more maneuverable build, and its cordless design makes it easier to clean faraway areas.
