Bissell CrossWave Pet Pro 2224E 3-in-1 Multi-Surface Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner
Data last updated:
Our verdict
The Pet Pro 2224E is built around a fairly specific buyer: someone with pets, hard floors and area rugs who's willing to be corded and hands-on in exchange for a dual-tank vacuum-and-mop combo that handles wet and dry cleaning in one pass. At 5kg and 560W, it's not a lightweight machine, and the absence of HEPA filtration, a self-emptying dock or app control means it won't suit anyone wanting a low-maintenance or allergy-focused setup. At £249.99 through Argos, it's a fair choice for pet owners prioritising cleaning capability over convenience features.

What the Bissell CrossWave Pet Pro 2224E is
The Bissell CrossWave Pet Pro 2224E is a corded Bissell wet and dry vacuum that vacuums, washes and dries hard floors and area rugs in a single pass, rather than requiring separate vacuuming and mopping. It's aimed at households with pets, using a Multi-Surface pet brush roll spinning at 3,000 RPM to lift pet hair while cleaning. This review is based on the manufacturer and retailer spec data listed below, not on hands-on testing.

Price and where to buy
At the time this data was checked, the Bissell CrossWave Pet Pro 2224E 3-in-1 Multi-Surface Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner price was £249.99 at Argos, listed as in stock. Argos also shows a 4.7 out of 5 average from 162 customer ratings; this is retailer-published data and may have changed since. Prices and stock can vary, so check the retailer page for the current figure before buying.
Key features: what the dual-tank system actually does
The dual-tank design keeps clean and dirty water separate, so the machine isn't redistributing dirty water back onto the floor as it cleans. A one-touch switch changes between hard-floor and area-rug modes, and the brush roll is described as tangle-free, which matters for anyone regularly vacuuming pet hair. The box includes a pet cleaning solution, an easy-empty tank strainer and a storage tray alongside the machine itself.
Limitations to know before buying
This model has no HEPA filtration and the filter isn't washable, which matters if allergy control is a priority. There's no self-emptying dock, so the small 0.82L tank needs manual emptying reasonably often on larger floor areas. At 5kg it falls into the heavier bracket for this vacuum type, and being corded with a 7.6m cable, room-to-room use depends on socket placement rather than battery runtime.
Is this model right for you?
This is a reasonable fit if you want a single machine that vacuums and mops hard floors and rugs together and specifically need a pet-hair-focused brush roll, and you're comfortable with a corded, manually-emptied design. If you need HEPA filtration, a self-emptying dock, or a cordless option, it won't meet those needs. You can compare it against other Bissell vacuum cleaners or browse other wet and dry vacuums to see alternatives with different filtration or capacity trade-offs.
