BISSELL Launches CrossWave® OmniForce™ with Industry-First Feature

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 2, 2024 – BISSELL, a leader in homecare cleaning solutions, today introduced the CrossWave® OmniForce™ - a wet dry vac and cleaning powerhouse that delivers twice the clean in one machine. The most innovative CrossWave® machine yet, the CrossWave® OmniForce™ Wet Dry Vac, delivers the best of both a mop and vacuum, equipped to tackle crumbs and kibble in Power Vac mode and muddy paw prints in Power Mop mode. The duality of the cordless machine makes it the ideal everyday product for households with a variety of mess-makers, from cats and dogs to kids and partners.

“BISSELL has a history of intentional innovation dating back to 1876 with the original carpet sweeper,” said Max Bissell, president of wash and global sales. “We have developed beloved home cleaning solutions like the Little Green®, and the CrossWave OmniForce is our latest invention in the hard floor category.” 

Standout product features of the CrossWave OmniForce machine include:

• Power Vac Mode | Tackle dry debris and dust with 75% more suction¹.
• Power Mop Mode | When vacuuming alone isn't enough, combine vacuuming and mopping at the same time to tackle everyday cleaning or wet and dry messes
• Tangle-Free Technology | Minimize hair wrapping and clogging for uninterrupted cleaning.
• Cordless Power | Enjoy a lightweight design with up to 30 minutes² of powerful cordless cleaning.
• Self-Cleaning Cycle | With the press of a button, freshen the brush roll and flush debris in the dirty tank for easy disposal.
• Two-Tank Technology | Keeps clean and dirty water separate so you’re always cleaning with fresh water and formula.
• Cleans & Sanitizes | Includes BISSELL® Hard Floor Sanitize Formula to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria³ on sealed hard floors, while also cleaning up sticky messes and grime from tracked in mud, dirt and pet messes.

BISSELL introduced the first ever 2-in-1 vacuum and mop for hard floors in 2016 when it launched the first CrossWave® machine. Now, eight years later, the CrossWave® OmniForce™ Wet Dry Vac is revolutionizing everyday cleaning with a cordless offering that is delivering on the consumer need for simplified, efficient and powerful tools to deliver a true clean with a single all-in-one machine.  

Bissell continues, “We pride ourselves in understanding consumer needs, especially the needs of pet parents, and we do this through a significant amount of consumer research, including in-home testing. Our pipeline of innovation demonstrates our commitment to delivering dependable cleaning power alongside increased efficiency and adaptability for pet messes of all kinds, and the CrossWave OmniForce is no exception.”  

The new CrossWave® OmniForce™ machine doesn’t just clean up after pets, it helps save them, too. When you buy a BISSELL® product, Every Purchase Saves Pets™ through its support of BISSELL Pet Foundation®, a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing pet homelessness.
