Are you tired of the never-ending battle against dust, dirt, and pet hair? Do you dream of sparkling clean floors without sacrificing your precious free time? Traditional cleaning methods are time-consuming, back-breaking, and often inefficient. Sweeping simply pushes dirt around, and mopping can feel like a never-ending chore, especially with pets adding to the mess. But what if technology could offer a smarter, more efficient way to clean? Enter the Bissell SpinWave Hard Floor Expert Pet Robot (3115) a revolutionary 2-in-1 cleaning companion designed to liberate you from the drudgery of floor cleaning.

Overview

The Bissell SpinWave is not just another robot vacuum. It’s a sophisticated cleaning system that combines powerful vacuuming with active mopping, all in one compact and intelligent device. Designed with the specific goal to bring to our consumers an effortless cleaning process, using state-of-the-art technology. This robot is engineered to tackle the challenges of modern households, particularly those with pets, offering a hands-free solution to keep your hard floors spotless. Its low profile design, standing at only 4 inches tall, ensures it can reach under most furniture. The white finish is both stylish and practical, making it easy to spot and clean.

Design Philosophy - Cleaning Reimagined

Bissell’s design philosophy for the SpinWave Robot centers around creating a seamless and intelligent cleaning experience. They’ve focused on developing a product that not only cleans effectively but also integrates effortlessly into your daily life. This is evident in the robot’s sleek, modern design and its intuitive app control. The goal is to transform cleaning from a chore into a background task, managed efficiently by a smart device. The low profile design and app control embodies this philosophy, allowing for thorough cleaning with minimal user intervention.

Dual Cleaning Powerhouse: Vacuuming and Mopping in One

At its core, the Bissell SpinWave is a 2-in-1 cleaning robot, capable of both dry vacuuming and wet mopping. This dual functionality is a game-changer, as it eliminates the need for separate devices and streamlines the cleaning process. Let’s delve into each mode:

Dry Vacuuming Mode: A Triple Threat to Dirt and Debris

When operating in dry vacuum mode, the SpinWave utilizes what Bissell calls a Triple Action Cleaning System. Let’s break down how each component contributes to the cleaning process:

• Dual Spinning Edge Brushes: These brushes are strategically positioned at the front corners of the robot. As the SpinWave navigates your home, these brushes rotate, sweeping debris inwards from edges and corners. This is crucial because these areas often accumulate dust and pet hair that a traditional vacuum might miss. Think of them as nimble little brooms, expertly guiding dirt towards the main cleaning path.
• Rotating Brush Roll: Located centrally beneath the robot, the brush roll is a cylindrical brush with bristles designed to agitate and lift embedded dirt from various floor types. Whether it’s hard floors or low-pile carpets, the brush roll helps loosen particles, making them easier to be suctioned up. It’s analogous to the beater bar in an upright vacuum, but optimized for a robotic form factor. It also comes with a tool that looks like an envelope opener to make sure no hair, or string gets tangled.
• Powerful Suction (Up to 1500 Pa): This is where the heavy lifting happens. The SpinWave boasts a powerful motor that generates suction up to 1500 Pascals (Pa). For context, Pascal is a unit of pressure, and in the realm of robot vacuums, 1500 Pa is considered quite strong. This suction power ensures that the dirt and debris loosened by the brushes are effectively drawn into the robot’s dustbin. According to user reviews, the robot effectively removes debris from floors. Many users with pets praise its ability to handle pet hair.

Wet Mopping Mode: Spinning Pads for a Sparkling Shine

When you switch the SpinWave to wet mopping mode, it transforms into a different kind of cleaning beast. Here’s how it achieves that sparkling shine:

• Two Tank Cleaning System: This is a clever piece of engineering. The SpinWave features two separate tanks: one for clean water and your chosen cleaning solution, and another for collecting the dirty water. This separation is critical for hygiene. You’re always cleaning with fresh solution, not just spreading dirty water around your floor. One user, with two huskies and two human boys, reported this made a huge difference in their ability to keep up with the messes.
• Rotating Mop Pads: Instead of a static mop cloth, the SpinWave utilizes two circular mop pads that rotate at high speed. This spinning action mimics the scrubbing motion you’d use with a traditional mop, but with much greater efficiency. The rotating pads work to loosen and lift dried-on spills, sticky residues, and other stubborn grime. There is also a small chamber built in to catch dry debris. One reviewer praised this feature because they were worried about any mop smearing wet hair all over the floor. The added benefit of the dry debris chamber, prevents this from happening.
• Specialized Wood Floor Formula: Bissell offers a cleaning solution specifically formulated for wood floors. This formula is designed to be gentle yet effective, cleaning your wood floors without causing damage, and even restoring their natural shine. It’s like giving your floors a spa treatment!

Intelligent Navigation: Cleaning with Precision

The SpinWave isn’t just about raw power; it’s also about smart cleaning. Here’s how its navigation system works:

• Soft Surface Avoidance Sensor: In mop mode, the SpinWave utilizes a special sensor that detects the difference between hard floors and soft surfaces like carpets and rugs. When it senses a carpet, it automatically avoids it, preventing your rugs from getting soaked. It acts as a virtual boundary, ensuring that mopping is confined to the appropriate areas.
• Cliff Detection: This safety feature is essential for homes with stairs or elevated areas. The SpinWave is equipped with sensors that detect edges and drop-offs, preventing it from accidentally falling.
• Automatic Docking: When the SpinWave is low on battery or has completed its cleaning cycle, it automatically navigates back to its docking station to recharge. This self-sufficiency means you don’t have to worry about constantly monitoring its battery level. The Bissell Spinwave cleans in an optimized row by row pattern to ensure an efficient coverage area.

User Convenience: Designed for Your Life

Beyond its cleaning prowess, the SpinWave offers a range of features designed to make your life easier:

• App Control: The BISSELL Connect App allows you to control the SpinWave remotely. You can start, stop, and pause cleaning cycles, schedule cleanings for specific times and days, and even monitor the robot’s progress, all from your smartphone.
• Quiet Operation: Compared to traditional vacuums, the SpinWave operates at a significantly lower noise level. Many users have commented on how surprisingly quiet it is, allowing them to run it without disrupting their daily activities. One user even mentioned being able to watch a movie while it was running.
• Easy Maintenance: The SpinWave is designed for easy upkeep. The dirt bin is simple to empty, the mop pads are machine washable, and Bissell even includes a special tool for cleaning hair and debris from the brush roll.

The Bissell SpinWave offers a range of benefits that extend beyond just clean floors:

• Time Savings: Reclaim your weekends and evenings by automating your floor cleaning.
