Perfection in blue plastic but for one drawback
4/5
This cleans floors well and truly does vacuum as well as it mops. It is not as heavy as I thought it would be and is much lighter than a dyson vacuum cleaner (old style plug in). It is really manoeuveable, too, as you can tilt it right back to go under things, and the head is wide and flat so you can follow a wall right under a radiator. It all comes apart very simply and cleverly to clean after use.
There's one drawback and it's a biggie which is why an otherwise outstanding product such as this doesn't get five stars. It doesn't mop within about 3cm of a wall whether you are sideways or straight on. It vacuums right up to the wall, but does not mop. On a floor with stuck on mud or dirt you'll need to go round the edges after with a wet wipe. I note that a yellow-coloured competitor product appears in hindsight to be superior in this respect, although I daresay lacking in some other areas in which the crosswave excels.
