The Bissell Crosswave Cordless 2582N brings a breath of fresh air to our stick vacuum comparison. This original model vacuums the floors and can clean them at the same time without resorting to steam.
As a vacuum cleaner, the heavy and unwieldy Bissell Crosswave mainly suffers from its lack of versatility, which makes it almost exclusively intended for the maintenance of hard floors. In addition, its filtration of fine dust leaves something to be desired. Fortunately, even if it leaves the floor a little too wet for our taste, it is much more comfortable cleaning floors thanks to its wide mop. Good point, its double tank system makes it possible not to wash the surfaces with dirty water, a real plus.
Strong points
- Three-in-one device that washes the floor with water.
- Automatic water circuit cleaning system.
- At home on hard floors and thin carpets.
Weak points
- Lack of versatility.
- Heavy.
- Unwieldy.
- Filtering to be reviewed.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Bissell Crosswave is connected to the mains, but it remains identical to the 2582N wireless model that we tested in detail. We therefore find a rather heavy and imposing device which mainly suffers from its lack of versatility since it is intended almost exclusively for the maintenance of hard floors. In addition, its filtration of fine dust leaves something to be desired, a real weak point for a vacuum cleaner, a function that it nevertheless endorses. Fortunately, even if it leaves a little too much humidity for our taste after its passage, it is rather comfortable cleaning the floors thanks to its wide mop. Good point, its double tank system makes it possible not to wash the surfaces with dirty water, a real plus.
