It solves the problem of floor maintenance time. People buy it for convenience and modest pricing.

“nothing but problems. It is supposed to have some intelligent navigation but I have had nothing but problems. It keeps losing connection to cloud. Poor suction in dry mode, It is supposed to do vacuum/mop at the same time, that did not work as the poor suction left all debris for the mop to smear all over. Bissell customer service response time via email is 48 hours which is very slow in my opinio”
