Is the CrossWave HF3 good on carpets?

It is designed for hard floors and area rugs, not wall-to-wall carpet. Use it on rugs for surface cleaning, not deep extraction.

How long does the battery last and how long to charge?

Bissell rates it at up to 25 minutes of runtime on a 22.2V lithium-ion battery. A full charge takes about 4.5 hours.

What is the difference between the HF3 and the CrossWave Pet Pro?

The HF3 is the cordless version with a 22.2V battery and up to 25 minutes of runtime. Corded CrossWave models run without a battery limit but need a wall outlet.

What comes in the box?

The machine, two 0.3L trial-size bottles of Multi-Surface formula and one additional Multi-Surface brush roll.

Does it work on sealed wood and laminate?

Yes. Bissell lists tile, sealed wood, laminate, linoleum, vinyl and rubber floor mats as safe surfaces.

Do I have to use Bissell formula?

Bissell specifies its own Multi-Surface formula for the machine. Other solutions are not recommended for the two-tank system.
