My Favorite Vacuum-Mop Combo Is $160 Off for Prime Day

During Amazon's Prime Day, I'm always finding sales on cool new stuff that I don't already have-but I'm especially excited when I see there's a sale on something I do have, because that means I get to share the wealth. In this case, I'm excited to say that my favorite vacuum, the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce, is on sale for the shopping holiday. Actually, no. It's not my favorite vacuum; it's more than that. This thing is a vacuum and a mop. It's extremely cool, versatile, space-saving, and functional.

As I've mentioned before, I replaced my trusty (and very beloved) Bissell Featherweight Stick with the CrossWave OmniFore a few months ago. To be clear, I loved the Featherweight Stick. It's $29.96 and beat the hell out of the vacuum I was using before that. I loved it so much, actually, that when I mentioned it in a different review earlier this year, Bissell sent me the CrossWave OmniForce to test out. It normally retails for $379.99, which is out of my price range, so while I was extremely grateful for this personal come-up, I recommended it to you all with the caveat that it's a little spendy. It's worth it, but spendy!

Until today, anyway. For Prime Day, this thing is $218.49.

Why I love it

I'm a big fan of this device because it allowed me to toss out my old vacuum and mop. It has a hefty suction force that yanks the dirt out of my rugs with almost alarming ease (which is a big deal in the summer, when seemingly everything I know and love is covered in sand after my weekend beach trips) and it maintains a solid charge long enough for me to do my whole apartment, so I'm not tethered to a cord.

You can either use the vacuum on its own or go dual mode, vacuuming and mopping all at once. It has two tanks that keep clean and dirty water separate and cleans its own brush roll so dust and debris are shifted over into the dirty tank.

It's a little heavier than what I was used to, but that's kind of the point, since it's an all-in-one deal and it needs to be sturdier to pack its suction punch. I haven't run into any issues other than that, even with my propensity for buying dirt-cheap Amazon rugs that should, realistically, fall apart under any kind of pressure. Maybe that says more about the quality of my $22 rug, but I'm always impressed when it survives another go-around with the Bissell.
