Hello,
by now there are quite a few different household appliances for cleaning floors, such as robotic mops, electric wet mops, and steam cleaners. Do you use any of these, or do you simply use a bucket with a mop?
Best regards,
Sabine

It seems like a lot of people here own the Crosswave! Amazing!
I told my wife to look into it. Maybe it’s something for her/us?!
Which Crosswave model should you buy?
What about the brushes? Replacement intervals? What do you think about the cleaning solutions? We also have the standard corded version. We replaced the roller brush once after about one year. Regarding cleaning solutions, we started with the original one (included), but now we use regular floor cleaners (like Mr. Clean, Frosch, etc.). I haven’t noticed any difference...
We have an iRobot vacuum that runs every day. Occasionally, I use the regular vacuum cleaner because the robot can’t reach everywhere. I have a Dyson handheld vacuum for places like stairs, but I don’t find it very good for regular vacuuming. Tiles are cleaned with a steam cleaner (Diavolo: expensive, but the one with the highest pressure), which is very easy to use. For parquet floors, I use a parquet cleaning solution with a mop that can be wrung out in a bucket.
A few people here seem to have Dyson cordless vacuums.
My partner’s vacuum (should be a V6 model) loses power or suction after just one use because the cyclone filter unit (that purple part with many tubes) gets clogged. It’s not the filter that, according to the manual, needs occasional cleaning (which is fine and easy to remove), but the intricate plastic housing parts that have to be pried open with a screwdriver and force to access all the tubes.
He carefully disassembles the unit, pulls larger debris out of the tubes with tweezers, and then blows everything through with an air compressor. And then he says, “That’s just how it is.”
I can’t quite believe that, and I haven’t been able to find much about similar issues online.
Does anyone know this problem? Otherwise, I would be really impressed with the vacuum—its suction power is excellent when freshly cleaned—but this kind of effort can’t be normal.

With my partner’s vacuum (I think it’s a V6), after just one use it already loses suction power because the cyclone filter unit (the purple part with the multiple tubes) gets clogged. Not the filter that you’re supposed to clean regularly according to the manual (which is fine and easy to remove), but the nested plastic components that you have to pry open with a screwdriver and force to reach all the tubes.
So, they carefully disassemble the unit, use tweezers to pull larger debris out of the tubes and then blow everything out with an air compressor. And they just say, “That’s how it is.”
I find that hard to believe and haven’t really found similar complaints online.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Otherwise, I’d be impressed with the vacuum—the suction power is great when freshly cleaned—but that level of maintenance can’t be normal. Never done that myself. I find it hard to believe.
What are you vacuuming? Small pet litter?

hampshire15 Jan 2020 17:11We bought a Rowenta cordless vacuum cleaner because we couldn’t notice any significant difference compared to the much more expensive Dyson. Bagless cyclone vacuums are naturally a bit more complicated to clean, but I haven't observed any notable loss of suction power so far. Is it possible that a filter component was lost during one of the cleaning procedures?
