Best Vacuum Cleaner for Hardwood Floors

In the market, there is a huge variety with hardwood cleaners to choose from. Starting from really cheap ones until the most expensive ones. But there always is one question which not gets answered. Which is the best one and worth to buy? Everyone about their product says it is the greatest and the best one. But that is not true, there is a huge list of cleaners that are bad and don’t do function they should at all.

It’s not worth it to spend a fortune on tools and understand they don’t even help you. Or worst, have damaged floor with scratches.

To help answer that most asked question, here is a list of two best cleaners for hardwood floors. Both of them are good.

BISSELL CrossWave

One of the best functions this cleaner does is vacuums and washes your floor at the same time. Smart touch control allows you to easily switch between both cleaning modes.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, but it is good that BISSELL has quite a good looking design. These days there are people who hang their cleaners on the wall where everyone can see it, and with good designed cleaner it will just make them look better.

PROs

• It vacuums and washes at the same time, that will make you clean a lot faster and better
• On the handle, there are smart touch controls
• Easy to use and set everything up
• This cleaner is very well balanced and lighter than most of the cleaners in the market right now, that means it will not fall or be heavy for you
• Two tank system included, that means clean and dirty water will be separated
• It’s able to remove powerful dual brush

CONs

• The power cord is short, that means it is harder to clean multiple rooms because you will have to change outputs very often
• It’s quite noisy, so you will not be able to clean while somebody else is sleeping or if there are pets who don’t like the vacuum cleaner sound

Hoover FloorMate

This one has water for spinning brushes. This function cleans hardwood floors a lot better than other cleaners available in the market.

Thanks to FloorMate functions this model can quickly vacuum, wash and at the end dry all the hard floors.

This has dual tank technology either. That means FloorMate keeps dirty and clean water separated too.

PROs

• The long power cable that allows you to clean multiple rooms without changing the outputs
• Dual tank
• Rubber wheels, that means it will not scratch or damage the floor and easier to maneuver
• Edge to edge which will allow you to clean places others can’t
• Rotating brushes
• It has a quick-drying function

CONs

• This one is noisy either
• It’s not suited and good for carpeted floors

Comparison

If you now think, both of them are great and can’t decide, which one will fit better for you, BISSELL CrosWave or Hoover FloorMate, then here is information about which of these cleaners does every function better.

First off, what I liked better about FloorMate, it has rubber wheels. I think this extra is quite important. Because no one would like to damage their floor. Also, it’s easier to maneuver with rubber wheels than with any others, but in another case, BISSELL is a little lighter than FloorMate, that means easier to carry.

This cleaner has a longer power cable and that is a big plus, easier cleaning for bigger homes and you can even clean multiple rooms without switching the cable to another place. Sometimes it could get you tired switching outputs all the time after finishing each room.

They both have a dual tank system, which is really good. This function always means the cleaner will do its job better. This also means it’s easier to clean the cleaner itself.

BISSELL CrosWave has something almost no other cleaner has. Vacuum and wash at the same time function. If you are busy and cleaning fast is important for you, then BISSELL will help you to do that.

If you have carpeted floor and that is a part of what you have to clean, then sadly FloorMate is not able to do that. Lack of this function has made others not to buy this cleaner. FloorMate is really great cleaner and has very good reviews until it comes to carpet cleaning.

They both are noisy, so that function is not good in any of these cleaners. But almost any hardwood cleaner is a bit noisy, so it would be hard to find some quieter than these two.

If you are looking for very well balanced cleaner and easy to carry, BISSELL could be the right one for you. It will not turn around at some time or slip out of your hands. It doesn’t feel heavy either, that is a really good thing about BISSELL.

Smart touch control on the handle is something that can make the job easier for everyone. Unfortunately, FloorMate doesn’t have this function. So, this is a plus for BISSELL, because this cleaner does have this function and it works really well.

Final Thoughts

If you are asking for my opinion, which is better BISSELL CrosWave or Hoover FloorMate, both of them are pretty good and each one of them has some unique functions that others don’t have.

But I think BISSELL CrosWave still is a little better than FloorMate. If you can ignore the short power cable. The other functions is well fitted for everyone. In my case, I think if hardwood cleaner can even clean carpeted floor, it’s something to amaze, because you don’t have to buy other tools for doing that. You can do all with the same one.

Of course, FloorMate is great too, maybe it fits your needs more than BISSELL. They both have great advanced features included. And both have really great ratings and reviews also, it is hard to find someone who could say something really bad about any of these two cleaners.
