Martha Stewart's favorite Bissell wet-dry vacuum is nearly 40% off for Prime Day

There are thousands of products on the market for cleaning your floors, from simple brooms and not-so-simple robot vacuums to spin mops and steam cleaners. But if you really want to save time, try a vacuum-mop combo. The very busy Martha Stewart recently named her Bissell Crosswave OmniForce Wet Dry Vacuum "the best new home appliance." And lest that sound to you like empty, bought-and-paid-for celebrity shilling, take note of what else she said: "This is an unpaid recommendation because I love the machine!"

If even that hasn't grabbed your attention, know this: Right now, the CrossWave OmniForce is a gobsmacking 40% off during Amazon's Big Deal Days event (aka October Prime Day).

Why is this a good deal? 💰

For starters, this wet-dry vacuum has been marked down $150! Keep in mind, you're essentially getting two devices in one. PS: As far as we can tell, $230 is the lowest price ever.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Stewart shared her enthusiasm for the vacuum-mop hybrid on Instagram, uploading eight photos of it doing the dirty work around her kitchen. "The design is simple, the parts easy to clean and anyone can use it," she wrote. "I have an old marble floor in my kitchen. Four dogs live in my kitchen! Many people are in my kitchen every day! I am a clean fanatic! Rather than sweeping (which raises dust), rather than vacuuming and then mopping, this machine does it all!" She added that it picked up dog hair, dust and crumbs, all in just three minutes.

When Stewart, the doyenne of domesticity, endorses any home product, we listen. But upon further research, we found some more reasons to love this Bissell: It's cordless and offers up to 30 minutes of run time on a single charge. You can use it on hard floors and to vacuum area rugs. It has two tanks — one for clean water and one for dirty water — and a self-cleaning mode, which freshens up the brush roll and flushes debris into the dirty tank for easy disposal.

What reviewers say 💬

There's no shortage of less famous but equally enthusiastic five-star fans at Amazon.

Pros 👍

"I love this thing," summed up a shopper. "I love that you can vacuum alone or vacuum and mop at same time." They added that the "noise level is great! I have dogs and cats and it's by far the most quiet one I've ever had ... Charge holds great and it's super lightweight. The suction is powerful. I'm for sure satisfied."

Recalled this candid customer: "When I first got this and was using it, it seemed to simply be mopping the floors … what came out in the canister is too embarrassing to even post on here! I'd used Swiffer pads for years now and thought the dirt on the pads after use proved it was getting up the dirt. The grain in my vinyl 'wood' flooring is slowly coming back through with each use of this machine, and even when I think it's clean, the canister post-use proves otherwise! Highly recommend."

"Absolutely love the convenience of this," added another devotee. "It works well and does a much better job than using a sponge mop. A once-over with the Crosswave and the floor was as clean as when I scrub it with a brush — with far less effort. I am so glad I purchased it. I have four dogs, so dog hair is always an issue. I know there is a pet model, but I have not had any problem with this one handling the dog hair and bigger pieces of debris that they bring in."

Cons 👎

Some fans noted that the machine is best used as a supplement to their regular vacuuming regimen. "By adding this once a week to the routine, my floors are clean enough to eat off of," one shopper shared, then stipulated: "If you're not keeping your floors fairly clean throughout the week, don't expect this unit to become an industrial cleaner. That's not what it's meant for."

Said this four-star fan: "The only things that hold me back from a five star review are: 1) The battery lasts 30 minutes easily when mopping and vacuuming, however you will have to refill and drain the tanks. It seems they could have made the tanks match closer to the battery life, but I suppose they didn't want it overly bulky either. 2) If the handle bent down just a bit more to get under furniture just a bit further."

But hey, if it's good enough for the Martha Stewart, we'll give it a shot. Now, onto adopting her skin-care routine...
