I wonder if there's some connection between interior design trends and the rise of wet/dry vacuums. As Aussie homes move more to hard floors rather than carpets, it gives an opportunity for brands like Tineco and BISSELL to launch better and better wet floor vacuums.
BISSELL's new range starts at just $349, giving everyone the ability to step up their hard floor cleaning regime.
The new lineup includes three models designed to vacuum and mop your floors at the same time, so you can skip the sweeping and get straight to washing in a single motion.
All three models feature a design that allows the cleaning head to reach right up against your skirting boards.
They also use a two-tank system to keep clean water and cleaning solution separate from the dirty water you suck back up.
For pet owners, tangle-free technology stops hair from wrapping around the brush roll and clogging the machine.
When you finish cleaning, an automatic cycle flushes out the debris and refreshes the brush roll for next time.
Choosing the right model
The entry-level CrossWave EdgeFind is a corded model that introduces dedicated headlights for finding pet hair.
These warm and cool LEDs illuminate the floor ahead of you, revealing hidden fur and dust you might otherwise miss, which is a similar idea to the green light found in the Dyson PencilVac.
Stepping up to the CrossWave Edge Cordless drops the power cable in favour of a battery, offering up to 22 minutes of runtime for quick cleanups.
At the top of the range is the CrossWave OmniForce EdgeFind, which delivers up to 30 minutes of cordless cleaning.
It features two distinct modes, allowing you to vacuum and mop simultaneously or switch to a vacuum-only mode for dry messes.
Chris Egan, Managing Director of BISSELL Oceania, said the new range was built for the reality of modern homes. “Busy households need cleaning solutions that combine performance with convenience,” Egan said.
