Bissell CrossWave HF3 Cordless Lightweight Wet and Dry Hard Floor Cleaner
Data last updated:
Our verdict
Of the CrossWave HF3 lineup, this base Cordless model stands out for actually offering a washable HEPA-sealed filter at a relatively low £179.99 price, which makes it a reasonable option for allergy-conscious buyers on a budget — provided their home is hard floors and tile only, since it isn't built for carpet. The 25-minute runtime and lack of self-emptying or app control keep it firmly in the basic-but-capable category rather than a premium all-rounder. Skip it if you have carpeted rooms to cover.

The Bissell CrossWave HF3 Cordless (model 3639E) is a cordless wet-and-dry cleaner built for hard floors, tile and other multi-surface hard flooring rather than carpets. It combines a rechargeable battery, a two-tank water system and a washable HEPA filter in a lightweight, upright-storable body. Here's what the verified spec sheet shows.

Runtime, charging and water capacity
Battery runtime is rated at up to 25 minutes on a full charge, with a charge time of around 4 hours (240 minutes). The water system uses two separate tanks: a 0.53-litre clean water tank and a 0.41-litre dirty water tank. This is a compact capacity by market standards, so larger floor areas may need a mid-clean refill or tank empty.
Filtration and cleaning features
The unit has a HEPA sealed system with a washable HEPA filter, meaning the filter doesn't need regular replacement. Other features include a self-cleaning cycle, dual Low/High cleaning modes, automatic water dispensing, and self-propelled steering. It ships with a multi-surface brush roll and a trial-size bottle of Hard Floor Sanitize Formula. As a hard-floor and tile specialist, it's not designed for carpets or rugs.
What it doesn't have
There's no self-emptying dock and no app or smart-home control on this model. Bissell states suction as 19 AirWatts rather than a standard wattage or kPa figure, so it can't be directly compared on that measure to vacuums that publish watts. No independent rating or review-count data was available in the source dataset for this model.
Is the CrossWave HF3 Cordless right for you?
This is a lightweight option for households with mostly hard floors and tile who want a single cordless tool for both wet spills and dry debris, and who don't need carpet cleaning, an emptying dock, or app connectivity. If you need longer runtime, larger tank capacity, self-emptying, or carpet compatibility, it's worth comparing other Bissell vacuum cleaners or other wet and dry vacuums before deciding.
