Fantastic video. I have many area rugs. It's great having your review so I can make an informed decision about purchasing the area rug roller brush when cleaning my area rugs.
Thanks Michelle your videos got me addicted to my crosswave I got the corded version and Iove it and I LOVE my Area rug brush. keep up the good work Michelle and I subscribed!😀🥰
Hi I saw some review on Amazon for this brush that said it ruined their vacuum as it melted off the part that attaches the brush to the vacuum:/ wondering if it’s a user error or some sort, or if you’d have any idea why that would happen? Thanks!
@@aprilronae it was probably user error just make sure that it fits in the crosswave me personally I have not had that. Issue with mine I hoped that helped
Hi, how good/effective is the Multi-Surface Brush Roll for dry-vacuuming rugs such the white rug of yours ( medium to high pile rug)? Is it better than ordinary vacuums?
Ok so you can dry vacumn with it??? I’ve heard people say that it doesn’t work to dry vacumn!!!! New subscriber here!!! Just bought this machine and hoping I’ll love it
I use my Crosswave to dry vacuum. I do not fill the fresh water tank or pull the trigger while dry vacuuming. As soon as the handle is tilted back, the suction will start and the roller will spin. I typically wash and vacuum at the same time but here and there I’ll dry vacuum my tile and hardwood floors for quick spot cleaning. Thank you for subscribing and watching! I hope you enjoy your Crosswave.
I also have an upright Dyson Animal for my living room rug. I have heard so many great reviews about Shark vacuums. I will definitely check out the Shark Vertex.
@@MesseswithMichelle shark are brilliant. The latest version of the shark cordless with power finshas a even stronger suction than its predecessor the filter stays clean longer & the power fins are great for agitating thick pile carpets lifting out embedded hair & dirt. I use it to clean my freinds shop carpet & its lifted tons of dirt out the shops carpet which is actually staying a lot cleaner now
It will suck up debris and wash the grout lines but I find it doesn’t scrub the lines to remove embedded dirt. I had to use my Bissell SteamShot to remove the tough dirt stuck in the lines. Now I use the Crosswave to maintain the floor tiles and grout and haven’t seen too much build up in the lines since steaming the dirt away.
I find the rugs are slightly damp. The dampness will depend on how much formula and water is applied during the cleaning process and the thickness of the rug. I don’t have laminate to know for sure if it will not cause harm to the floor but based on my experience using the Crosswave on my hardwood I haven’t had any issues.
I recently used mine for the first time on my area rug, over hardwood floor. I had used a carpet shampooer on my rug a few weeks before and wasn't really impressed with the result. I had moved it onto a concrete floor before I started because I knew it would be soaked. After 2 shampoo sessions it still looked grubby and it stank! I ran my crosswave over my rug to try it out and initially I thought I had made a huge mistake, it looked dirtier than before I started. But I figured the damage was done so I carried on. I was SHOCKED by the amount of dirt the crosswave pulled up left behind by the carpet shampooer! I filled the solution tank 4 times to finish that rug, and at the end of it the rug was slightly damp, the hardwood underneath was dry! I'm going to keep up with cleaning my rug with the crosswave and hopefully it can improve the cleanliness.
@@bethjones7572 I have the crosswave also. Can you tell me which brush roller you used when cleaning your area rug? The multi surface one or the one specifically for area rugs? Thank you so much in advance. Krissy
@@kdbanister8978 I used the fluffy multi surface one the first time for the best result. I think the extra contact from the fluffy fibers helped lift the dirt and wet. I tried the stiff bristle only area rug brush recently and wasn't as impressed with the result. The carpet was much damper and not as clean. I have a really low pile carpet though, so maybe the area rug head works better on a shag type carpet? BUT, I do like the stiff bristle only area rug head. I use it when I'm using the crosswave just as a vacuum. I don't add/use any cleaning solution, and put an inch or 2 of water in the recovery tank. Think like a rainbow vacuum... it seems like it traps the dust. It's also amazing on my natural slate floors! The suction action works great to keep the grimy water from building up in all the crevices. Hope that helps!
I made the mistake by cleaning bedroom surface rugs with the multi-purpose pet brush and wow I was fighting human women hair for a good time when cleaning it...
Michelle, I just received my Bissell Crosswave today, excited to use it on my area rug and only had the combo roller, I could barely push it on my rug. Any tips????
Hi Lana, the pile of the carpet could be a bit too thick for the Crosswave. I have a hard time pushing my Crosswave over my living room rug with a combo of high and low pile carpet. I just move slowly over the rug but have to give the Crosswave a few extra pushes to get it moving over the rug when it gets stuck.
I just received this brush today and I was very disappointed in it. The bristles are WAY too soft to do anything. The multi surface brush has stiffer bristles than the area rug brush roll. I wasted my money buying this roller.

Michelle, we got ours Thursday and we're gonna try it out today.
Thank you so much for your time and videos.!!!
You're welcome! Enjoy your new Crosswave.

I really love the Crosswave as well. As soon as I heard it mops and vacuums at the same time I was sold. Thank you for watching and subscribing!

@@aprilronae ive seen those reveiws there for cheap chinese unbranded versions of the crosswave attachments
Thanks, so guess my inherited original oriental Rugs asking to much? Your video pointed out info I appreciate ! Thx!
Thank you for your videos. You have been a huge help.
You’re welcome. I’m so happy my videos are helpful. Thank you for watching!
Definitely on my wish list! Great info thanks!
You're welcome! I don't usually vacuum often with the Crosswave but definitely going to use it more frequently after seeing how well it did on my rug.
Thank you for sharing this with us 💕
You're welcome :)
How did they perform side-by-side WET??
Hi, how good/effective is the Multi-Surface Brush Roll for dry-vacuuming rugs such the white rug of yours ( medium to high pile rug)? Is it better than ordinary vacuums?
Very good information
You're welcome.
Yes I know these vacum up. But I still use my ordinary vacum first
In one room we have a very short hair carpet. Do you think this would be good on a carpet?
Ok so you can dry vacumn with it??? I’ve heard people say that it doesn’t work to dry vacumn!!!! New subscriber here!!! Just bought this machine and hoping I’ll love it

You should try a shark vertex upright I have one and it works super good for pet hair

Is the area rug brush an extra purchase, nice video.
The area rug brush is sold separately. I bought mine on Amazon for around $25 CAD. Thanks for watching
Thank you.
thanks , i have CROSSWAVE CORDLESS MAX with multi surface roller , saw there is pet roller whats the difference ?
I really don't see a different between the two rolls except the colour which could help you remember which roller you used on pet areas.
1.56 ...yours have a wifi led???i bought mine last week ( last model ...croswave cordless max ) and mine not have wifi..???? Why??
The wifi LED will light up once the wifi is connected. I haven’t connected the wifi on my replacement Crosswave so the wifi light doesn’t illuminate.
Does the brush work with all the crosswave models?
I don’t believe so. The older models have a different type of roller to fit the specific machine.
Excuse me, can this mop recline fully to clean under beds?
The Crosswave does not fully reline all the way. It does reline a bit but not enough to fit under a bed.
Thank you
Would it clean grout?
It will suck up debris and wash the grout lines but I find it doesn’t scrub the lines to remove embedded dirt. I had to use my Bissell SteamShot to remove the tough dirt stuck in the lines. Now I use the Crosswave to maintain the floor tiles and grout and haven’t seen too much build up in the lines since steaming the dirt away.
Does the cross wave leave the area rug wet? Will the dampness harm my laminate floor?
I find the rugs are slightly damp. The dampness will depend on how much formula and water is applied during the cleaning process and the thickness of the rug. I don’t have laminate to know for sure if it will not cause harm to the floor but based on my experience using the Crosswave on my hardwood I haven’t had any issues.

Did it destroy your carpet??
My area rug was fine afterwards.
@@MesseswithMichelle can you use it on the carpet too?
You just need to throw out both rugs and buy new
Right? Doesn't even look like it did anything 😑😑😑
