With the Vac and Steam, Bissell has developed an easy-to-use, time-saving 2-in-1 device that vacuums, mops, and disinfects in one step. It eliminates up to 99.9 percent of common household bacteria and germs that could harm children or pets in a completely natural way using hot steam and without the use of chemicals. Ready to use in 30 seconds, the Vac and Steam has a runtime of 15 minutes per tank. The digital control panel on the handle allows for convenient and intuitive switching of cleaning settings at the push of a button during use, enabling you to remove stains, dust, and crumbs in just one step. Transitioning from vacuuming to steam cleaning or using both functions simultaneously is a breeze. For easy dirt disposal, the Bissell Vac and Steam features a removable dust container and washable dust and dirt filters. The innovative dry tank technology keeps dirt residues in the collection container dry and separate from the steam at all times.
