After we read a bunch of online reviews, this floor cleaning robot stood out for strong scores in mopping performance and in privacy combined with a really good price. The list price is on the high side, but the product is routinely discounted, so look for deals. When on sale, and given that this robot is surprisingly effective, it's a killer bargain, and you could even buy separate robots for different zones, rooms, or floors of your place.
This is a wet/dry floor robot, so you swap out a module in the back to change between wet and dry modes. It automatically avoids carpets in wet mode. The mop is two rotating pads, which is why it works so well (it actually scrub-scrubs the floor), but mopping performance is better with the included thicker scrubber pads than with the fluffy normal pads (it ships with a set of both). It does also vaccuum while mopping, but the dust compartment is smaller, so for major vacuuming use the dry mode only. For mopping, you can use plain water or add one of Bissell's floor cleaners. A small bottle of all-floor cleaner is included. Also included are an extra set of spinning brushes, 2 sets of mop pads, and an extra air filter on the dry vacuum module. You can reorder these things, and a new roller brush when eventually needed, from within the optional-to-use iOS or Android app.
Dry vacuuming performance is excellent. Definitely not as good as with our Miele cannister vac, but we have to use the Miele way way less now. It easily removes crumbs, hair, fur, bulkier items up to the size of about a large marble, smaller leaves, pine needles, and definitely dust dust bunnies. The carpets look fresh vacuumed texture-wise, too.
There are two navigation modes: back-and-forth whole-space cleaning (automatic or manual mode), and spot clean (manual mode). The privacy advantage over other robot vacuums is that this robot doesn't make an map of your house and store it in a hackable database somewhere. This means it's "dumber" than other products that have this feature. We bought this product *specifically* because of this, however. So to us, this is a feature, not a bug.
We also like the "spot" cleaning feature, where you set it in one area, and it runs in increasing and then decreasing circles thoroughly around that spot (about a 3-foot diameter area) for a deeper clean, either in vacuum or mop mode.
With sensors and a front bumper, when you start the robot, it just heads out and figures out a way to cover 90-95% or more of most floor spaces around most obstacles. It can detect some obstacles and avoid bumping into them, but even when it does bump, it is very gentle and there has been zero damage to baseboards or furniture.
You do not need to use the iOS or Android app to operate the vacuum, and instead simply press the start button 1, 2, or 3 times depending on what you want. But with the app, you can set up a daily automatic schedule, reorder supplies, see cleaning history, and change suction strength/water use, and also command it to return to its dock.
We found the robot runs for about 1.5 hours in dry mode with medium suction before needing to recharge, which is enough to clean the main floors. You can extend the run time by setting a lower suction strength in the settings.
Wet mopping can use a low, medium, or high water use setting. The cleaning with the high water use setting is very good indeed. Medium is great for dusting floors or when there is no major mess. Low mode mops less well, but the battery will run longer with it if you have a big house.
The robot is not that good at finding its charging dock when it's done if the robot ends up in a different room from the dock. However, if there is a clean line of sight, it docks no problem at all. If it couldn't dock while you were gone, just put it in the same room and press the top button twice, and it'll dock no problem.
Pros:
- Really quiet operation--not silent, but quiet enough you can watch TV or take a phone call with it running
- Acceptable operating time between charges; charging is fast enough to run two automatic schedules per day (but only if it makes it back to the dock in between)
- "Dumb" navigation is actually a plus because of added privacy; there are still onboard sensors and navigation algorithms to avoid or work around obstacles which work decently
- Navigation is effective in a relatively uncluttered space
- Sensors effortlessly avoid "cliffs" such as stairs, in wet mode also avoids carpets
- Bumper is gentle and sensor can detect some obstacles without colliding first at all
- Once everything is set up optimally, you can have it operate at night or when out of the house with no worries
- Pricing: one of the most affordable robots with the best bang-for-the-bucks (be sure to look for sales)
- Excellent vacuuming, including pet hair and food mess
- Wet mode also includes a light vacuuming
- Rotating mopping pads are highly effective
- Cleans really well under furniture (better than with a regular vacuum)
Cons:
- Takes about a week of trial and error to clear clutter/tweak furniture arrangements and where best to put the dock so that the robot operates reliably enough to leave the house or have it work overnight
- Can get stuck sometimes in tight places
- Crumpled carpets can get it stuck
- Things like hairpins or thumbtacks will stop the roller brush (which would probably not happen with a regular vacuum)
- Doesn't detect visible messy areas to focus on
- May not detect charging dock when in another room
- Sometimes weaker at mopping edges of rooms and corners
- May miss ~5% of a given space, but over multiple days it does get the whole area cleaned
- Smaller dining tables with chairs seem to be harder for it; if you can put your chairs up on the table overnight, and that will improve performance if your dining area proves too tricky
- We think you still need to do a detail/base clean about once or twice a month using your regular vacuum and steam mop, but the robot is great for everyday maintenance
Who is this for?
- If vacuuming and mopping just aren't happening, then you, because it's way better than not cleaning.
- If you already vacuum and mop two or three times a week, maybe you don't need a robot at all.
- Works equally well on hard floors, vinyl, tile, wood, and on carpet, and mopping performance good (but not as good as a human)
- The target audience is pet owners, so, yes, if you have a pet this will work for you--but if you don't have pets, it's a great product at a great price regardless
- If you have younger kids, you'll need to clean up toys and clutter from the floor first and larger bits of dropped food, but otherwise it should work OK on wet and dry messes. There is a sanitizing solution you can buy for use with the mop tank, too.
- If you have older kids who are good at doing chores like vacuuming and mopping, you can skip the robot, but if your kids are too busy or not good at chores, then the robot may be a really good idea.
- Households that are not very cluttered will fare better. If you tend to store things on the floor or hide stuff under furniture, you would need to declutter a bit for best effect.
- Small spaces including apartments (as long as not cluttered) and midsize homes should do well. Large spaces are fine, too, but battery may need recharging to fully cover a larger home.
- When on sale, you could buy multiple robots to cover different zones or floors of a larger home separately.
- People with mobility issues and certain disabilities may really benefit from a robot vacuum, but you have to evaluate if a pricier product that uses mapping technologies and automatic waste removal would be better.
Bottom line:
In our household, the vacuuming and mopping just wasn't getting done. This robot vac/mop is thus a huge net improvement for us, and it forced us to declutter slightly which is also a net improvement. We also really like the affordability and the strong mopping performance. Definitely recommend.

Pros and Cons 6 months out.
Well after having this for about 6 months I have to give it a full-fledged review.CON: For wet mopping- these tanks SUCK. Bad. After a few uses, they start dumping water all over the floor. As in, they will use the entire tank of water within a few minutes. I have 4 tanks now that were sent to me by Bissell and they ALL did the same thing- even though I took care of them and followed the instructions meticulously. I have to walk behind the Spinwave with towels to mop up all the water so my hardwood floors don't get destroyed. If it weren't for the tank issue, this product would do a really decent job. But after 4 new tanks I do not hold out much hope. The vaccuum is ok, picks up dirt decent. My regular vacuum does a better job. Its too tall to get under the furniture, unlike my Eufy, and both the vacuum and wet mop need MUCH babysitting because they get stuck all the time (again- unlike my Eufy that I just ran at night- maybe because it wasn't as tall and never got stuck under anything).PRO: Customer service at Bissell was great. They actually sent me not ONE but TWO new Spinwaves to try to solve the problem. Except the problem isn't the Spinwave- its the tank. Something about how it distributes the water is messed up. I WISH they would find a way to fix this issue.Overall, I miss my Eufy, I think it did a better job but I don't think Eufy makes a mop- and if it did, it wouldn't have the spinning mop which I love.
