Does the SpinWave R5 vacuum and mop at the same time?

It can vacuum and mop in one run, but the mop pads are meant for sealed hard floors. On carpets it works as a vacuum only.

How long does the battery last?

Bissell rates it at up to 80 minutes of wet cleaning and up to 110 minutes vacuuming hard floors in low mode. A full charge takes about 5.5 to 6.5 hours.

Does it work on carpets?

Yes, as a vacuum, but 2000 Pa of suction is modest. It is best for low-pile rugs and daily dust rather than deep cleaning.

The Bissell Connect app handles mapping, scheduling and no-go zones. You can start cleaning without it, but you lose the advanced navigation features.

How does it compare with a robot vacuum only?

It adds scrubbing mop pads that most robot vacuums lack, at the cost of weaker suction than premium vacuums. It suits hard-floor homes better than carpet-heavy ones.

Our take on the Bissell SpinWave R5 Cordless Spin Mop

The Bissell SpinWave R5 is a robot that both vacuums and scrubs sealed hard floors with spinning mop pads. It maps your home with 360-degree LiDAR through the Bissell Connect app and runs up to 80 minutes in wet cleaning mode on its lithium-ion battery. Suction tops out at 2000 Pa, which is modest next to premium robot vacuums, so it suits daily dust and light messes rather than deep carpet cleaning. Its real edge over most robot vacuums is the pair of spinning pads that scrub sticky spots; rivals like the iRobot Braava Jet focus on mopping alone, while the R5 does both. Owners like the hands-off scrubbing but note the long recharge and the need to swap pads and tanks by hand.
