expectations, Is especially light to use has extra long cord, a light, able to vacuum all my apartment without having to stop. The Hepa filter is a must for my Asthma. A good range of accessories come with and more available to purchase. The SEBO video on You tube explains how to take care of the Vacuum, easy to follow. My previous SEBO cleaner was still working after 30 years. I chose to retire it for a younger model. Sebo have replacement parts readily available for their cleaners

My previous Shark had phenomenal suction but the Navigator PET does not. On hard floor it leaves dirt behind and on carpet need to go over the same… Read more

spot repeatedly to remove dog hair etc. I'm not sure but maybe there is something wrong with it ? Same from new, very weak suction.

I had a cordless which I gave away , and to be honest I would never buy a cordless again . Why ? Well , after 3 years it would barely hold a… Read more

charge and the operating time came down to a measly 10 minutes and the suction , sucked.

Eventually I decided on this Shark .

It was smaller than the photos would have you believe ,when it arrived I pieced it together and took it for a spin.

The suction was fantastic and I found on some surfaces I had to open the relief valve to drop the suction power .

I tried it with the canister detached and then with the wand detached , using to reach up into the ceiling for stray cobwebs and going under low furniture and my bed .

I then without telling my wife , went over some rooms she had vacuumed a few days earlier with the older vacuum cleaner she swears by, and as you can see In the photo I ended up with a canister full of dust and grime .

I have included a photo of the old vacuum cleaner, a well known brand that has factories all over the planet , and a well respected brand at that.

Out of curiosity I compared the noise level to the old vacuum cleaner, because this Shark seemed very quiet in comparison but the decibel reading were 88db for the old model and 80db for the Shark.

I put what I was hearing down to a different pitch level in the noise a bit like comparing bass to a midrange or treble.

The Shark was used on mainly wooden floors with plenty of rugs and hall runners in the mix . I didn't bother to lower the suction when shifting from the rugs to the wooden floor , it was not necessary, it was only the small light weight mats than presented a problem with the suction being too strong for these .

You have heard of washing machines swallowing socks never to be seen again well, this vacuum cleaner did the same thing , at first I could not find it in the hosing but then spotted it in the actual barrel with all the rubbish.

A couple of gripes here .

I found I could not sustain vacuuming the ceiling for long because the sheer weight of the hose and fittings were too much for me, being old, tired and decrepid probably explains why.

The other thing is, the cannister when detached is clumsy, there is no up or down unless you are actually holding it with one hand a bit like those old fashion astronauts walking to the rocket with their aux air tank , it falls all over the place. One more thing , I found the brush sliding attachment would not stay in place on the wand until I physically bent the plastic locking mechanism.

All in All I am more than satisfied , it does the job , is not to heavy to push around and with being able to detach parts to suit my needs it proved more than just a common old vacuum cleaner .

Incidentally, I got this at a steal , as there was no stock so had to wait a few weeks, but when it was in stock the price shot up to the recommended retail price only to fall again a few days later, so just be careful when buying this item as the price is volatile and never pay full price, just shop around.

Replaced my Dyson Animal and Shark Detect Pro with this. I have 3 kids and had vacuumed 3 times the morning of purchase and used this. Wow. I haven't… Read more

felt more ashamed of what came out of my floors from one use... highly recommend this if you have children and pets!

Very very disappointed what a waste of money .Will not pick up dog hair at all just rolls it up and spits it out and vacuuming having to go back over and over again shocking.No star rating for me Show details

Bought as I've only been using a cheap stick vacuum cleaner. I wanted something to pickup cat fur and give a better clean. While also being able to… Read more

vacuum skirting boards etc.

It does pickup dust and fur, I'll give you that. It is actually quiet, certainly quieter than what I expected.

The long cord is really helpful so you're not unplugging it to use another outlet.

Emptying it was also easy. Though as I thought I was returning it, I gave it a thorough clean which isn't quite so easy. Took about 15 minutes to clean.

Is quite bulky also and doesn't manoeuvre as I'd hoped it would.

Overall, for carpet a definite yes I would say it's great. Tiles, not so good. (My opinion only - would suit a larger home, to give a really good workout.)

Unfortunately I'm unable able to use it as well as I'd hoped as it's a bit heavy for me to push.

I didn't realise that I couldn't get a refund if unhappy with the product. I've never had trouble returning an item that has been unsuitable for me to use.

Now I'm stuck with an item I will have to try and sell, to get maybe half or less than what I paid.

I gave it 4 stars as it does pickup dust/ fur and dirt etc. But 1 star for not being able to return for at least something more suitable and at most - my money back.

Heavy and difficult to manoeuvre across the floor – This vacuum does a good job overall, but is very heavy to operate. My main complaint is that the vacuum head swivels and you cant lock it in position… Read more

so you need to have strong wrists and hands to keep it moving in the direction you want. I would not recommend this vacuum for middle aged people for this reason alone.

Great vacum – I am happy with the suction of my Felix vac,it is easy to manoeuvre how ever I find the handle slips from my grasp,is there an attachment for the… Read more

handle that gives it more grip,I use the vacum on fitted carpet floating wood floors and thick rugs,the various speeds and suction are great for my needs, I find it is easy to get under furniture and beds, it is the quietest vacum I have ever owned

If you think you are getting a good machine, then think again. Would never ever buy something like this again. Heavy and very awkward and still… Read more

waiting for Dyson to send me the replacement tube as it is so hard to use. Find something else not worth spending the money.

100% DISAPOINTING, to small a capacity of cleaning/dirty liquids. First time use as of today, 24 April 2026. The appliance does what it's designed … Read more

for , however time consuming when using due liquid capacities. I purchased from Thomo's Betta Electrical in Rockhampton and they would not match The Good Guys pricing of $80.00 less. Unfortunately The Good Guys had sold out of there stock.

A few months ago I purchased a Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam, Model no 3670F this product works like a dream and is correctly designed, engineered and tested to be practical and a asset to making house cleaning easy, hence the massive DISAPOINTMENT. BISSELL HAS DEFINITELY DROPPED THERE "LEADING EDGE" on this model of the crosswave HF2.

Have had my bissell cross wave corded cleaner for more than 5 years. Have always loved using it. Picks up all the hair and gives a superb clean. Would recommend Show details

very poor – i just gave it away and purchased a replacement mielie , heap of rubbish not suitable for carpet and not great on hard surfaces with the bonus its difficult to maneuver and has some sort of super ridge electric cable. no more Dyson for me ever. Show details

Best unit under $300 have had 3 Dysons they cost a mint to repair and battery life not the best The suction power of this Shark is excellent even with pet hair

Just bought a day ago from Harvey Norman. Well built, affordable price, and loaded with essential features. I like the detachable feature for vacuuming with convenience when needed. Show details

I need an invoice – I have been very happy with this product for just over 3 years. It has just stopped working. (I think it's the battery) I contacted Tineco and was… Read more

told it would cost $218. This includes freight to and from Melbourne plus repairs if possible. They say if it can't be repaied a full refund is given. Very Fair. My issue is Tineco want me to pay via direct deposit or PayPal but will not issue me with an invoice. Is it unreasonable to require one?

Stay away from roborock! If I can give 0 stars I would. Their customer service sucks. I got this and 15 months in the battery got busted. Because it… Read more

was just outside the warranty period, how convenient is that? Most companies I deal with this similar issue would just cover it anyways as its just outside the warranty period but not this one. They refused to cover the repair and shipping, after back and forth they offered to only cover the labour and freight of return and I'd need to pay for the assessment, spare parts and freight to send it back to me. After reading reviews about people not getting their unit back I decided to play it safe and asked to buy a replacement battery instead. 1 month later and still waiting for them to send me an invoice so I can pay and get the battery but now I'm doubting they will even send the battery after I pay it! Customer service saying they are waiting for sales team to generate the invoice, totally ridiculous and waste of money, $600 down the drain just like that with no resolution.

As for the product it was very convenient to mop and vacuum at the same time but self clean was not great and the drying was just a fan and did not get the job done so you will need to wash the rollers everytime you use it. Battery was not enough to clean my double story house in one charge. I was unable to buy the replacement battery anywhere online in Australia either.

Updated: finally got the invoice for the battery from their third party repair centre and it was shipped out to me promptly. We were right, it was a busted battery so the mop is working again. A but disappointing that the battery only lasted for a year and we weren't using it that often either! The battery wasn't cheap and I think if it busts again I'm better off just buying a new mop unit elsewhere. Will not be buying from roborock again.

The mop is unable to roll anymore after 2years use. Very disappointed. Due to the purchase price of this product, you would expect the product should… Read more

be last longer but not malfunction after 2years. This vacuum mop is also too wet which leaving water marks on the floor. Specially when it tries to mop the corners, too much water coming out. You would not pick up this issue until you buy another vacuum mop brand to be able to compare. Steaming function is good idea but when you have wood floors then this function is useless. Overall not recommended to buy for such a price.

So dissapointing – Well I certainly got talked into this vacuum by 2 smooth talking sales people.Every thing they showed me seemed so simple.Its so loud it will send… Read more

you deaf unless you wear protection.Changing attachments is a pain after a few months of ownership.Its got a rubber belt that wears out.The wands keep coming apart,wont fit under beds like normal vacuums.Some good points are it cleans carpet really well.Forgot to say its cumbersome as well.Yes I dont recomend this.

Wow!! We regularly vacuum our floors. We were amazed at how much grub this machine pulled out of our rugs. We have since done bedroom carpets, again… Read more

wow. We did our friends carpet after her little dogs kept having accidents on it, she was amazed as well to see results, the carpet came up nicer then when she moved in. The Bissell solutions smell clean and fresh after cleaning for days, weeks. Easy to use, pretty straightforward how to fill and empty. After reading a particular review saying ‘renters dream’ is what sold us to purchase it. We highly recommended this machine to anyone with carpets. We will never need to pay anyone from here on in to clean our carpets. Money well spent on this machine we have nic named our ‘Bissell Beast’. LOVE it.

Worst vacuum cleaner ever. Do not buy this shoddy product. Always stopping with error codes from out of the box. Show details

This is by far one of the worst Vacuum cleaner I ever owned. Bought it for my Mom, originally wanted a regular cordless vacuum but a friend convinced… Read more

us to get the mop one because "it's so convenient". Turns out the vacuum is complete garbage, doesn't do any good at either vacuuming or moping, the engine is very weak and doesn't suck well at all, the whole system is garbage and doesn't get the dirty water inside the tank, so it ends up back on your floor... It works for about 10 minutes then needs to be completely cleaned out so it doesn't leave dirty water everywhere. The product was advertised as being of good quality, even above commercial grade but it's worst than that. I do not recommend this product or that Brand that has poor ratings overall.

I find it very noisy, difficult to move, can't get under lounge furniture very far, can't change power level for upholstery, curtains etc. Overall,… Read more

I'm very disappointed as reviews I had read seemed positive. Very short cable - I have attached a 10m extension lead so I don't have to change sockets for every room in the house. Cleans carpets well, for the areas it can reach. Wooden floors also ok but the head is so large it can't access small spaces eg round toilet or bathroom fixtures.

It’s the secret to my spotless house – I am obsessed with Bissell Crosswave. Its cleans the floors picking up all the bits and bobs of food or whatever and at the same time mopping the… Read more

floors clean. The dirty water doesn’t mix with the clean water. The self cleaning part has to the cherry on top. Highly recommend it.

I purchased a Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam from The Good Guys Carindale less than a year ago and it has already stopped working. I contacted Bissell… Read more

customer service and, after a long wait, they troubleshot the issue over the phone and then insisted it be sent to their service centre via a Post Office barcode.

It has now been almost 15 days and there has been no proper arrangement made for a replacement or a timely fix. In the meantime, I’m unable to clean my floors and have been left without a working machine. For a premium product to fail in under a year, and then receive such slow, almost non-existent support, is very disappointing. I would seriously think twice before buying this product again or recommending it to others.
