How often do you change the roller on a Bissell CrossWave?

The roller on a Bissell CrossWave should be changed every 6 months for optimal cleaning results. This recommendation applies to three models: the BISSELL CrossWave, CrossWave PET PRO, and CrossWave Cordless.

The brush roll in these machines is designed to be easy to clean and replace. Regularly changing the brush roll ensures that it continues to effectively pick up dirt, debris, and pet hair from your floors. Over time, the bristles on the brush roll can become worn or clogged, reducing its cleaning performance. By replacing the brush roll every 6 months, you can maintain the best cleaning results from your CrossWave.

To change the brush roll, follow these simple steps:

1. Make sure the CrossWave is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Flip the machine over so that the brush roll is facing up.
3. Locate the brush roll release tab or button, usually located on the bottom of the machine.
4. Press and hold the release tab or button to unlock the brush roll.
5. Gently pull the brush roll out of the machine.
6. Dispose of the old brush roll properly.
7. Take the new brush roll out of its packaging.
8. Align the new brush roll with the slots or pegs inside the machine.
9. Insert the brush roll into the machine, making sure it is securely in place.
10. Press down on the brush roll until you hear a click or feel it lock into position.
11. Flip the machine back over and you’re ready to start cleaning with your new brush roll.

By regularly replacing the brush roll, you can ensure that your Bissell CrossWave continues to provide effective and efficient cleaning performance. It’s a simple maintenance task that can greatly extend the lifespan of your machine and keep your floors looking their best.

Remember, the frequency of brush roll replacement may vary depending on individual usage and the condition of your floors. If you notice a decline in cleaning performance before the 6-month mark, it may be a sign that the brush roll needs to be replaced sooner. Additionally, if you have pets or frequently clean high-traffic areas, you may need to change the brush roll more frequently.
