After my Shark Steam Pocket Mop died, I just took it apart and threw it in the trash. Now I'm in the market for a new floor cleaner, primarily for my laminate flooring downstairs.
A member on here recommended two Bissells to me: the CrossWave, which vacuums and washes at the same time, or the Symphony, which vacuums and steams at the same time. Which machine would be best for my needs? Below is a pic of my floor.

Glad you listened. There pretty much same machine. Crosswave is newer and I believe it has a swivel head.
They function almost the same. If my symphony dies I'll buy a crosswave. I spent $160 twice one for each level. Crosswaves were not available yet. Find the best deal on either one and you can't lose there both good. Les |

We have a golden lab indoor dog poodle and two cats. We have 250-300 square feet of white tile and 2 2more bathrooms taking up 350 square feet all white tile. We have 600 SF carpet and 750 SF of oak wood floors.
The Bissell symphony steam cleans and vacuums very well. The wood floor had 4layers of wax on it. We used it and makes wood vibrant. It probably just as good at mopping as crosswave. The crosswave probably vacuums better. I vacuum all floors first with my compact and 360 Wessell werk power nozzle. I then do floors with Bissell symphony. It makes them look like there brand new. Use only distilled water though. Crosswaves is a little better as it is newer but both are light years above steampunk mop by shark. Les |

While i've not used a Symphony I can't imagine it's steam mopping function is too different from any other steam mop.
While steam mops have their purposes I don't think they clean all that well Really you're just rubbing a cloth over your floors the dirt doesn't really any any place to go, Sure some of it is going to get pulled into the cloth but some of it will just get smeared around. The crosswave should be able to clean more thoroughly it's putting down fresh water and vacuuming up dirty water. I've not used a crosswave but i've owned 2 different floormates. When my floormate dies It'll probably be replaced with a crosswave. |

You are correct. It vacuums which can get stuff stuck totally oblivious to the picking up up water.
But dirty water going back into system . The symphony I'm not sure inhaling dirty water is a plus. The symphony has clean water uses pad to pick it up. I bought bona pads and they scrub and have dirt stick to them. Now I know crosswave triple function. Mop old water pickup and vacuum has me sold. Buy the crosswave. I'm going to be buying one in next month or too. It's like I knew what it could do but duh. Crosswave. Les |
