Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Carpet Cleaner, 1200B
Customer Review: Leaves spots of its own
Summary: 2 Stars
While the Spotbot is good at removing all types of stains on the carpet, you'll find yourself left with even more noticeable patches on your carpet. We've had our Spotbot for about six months. Unfortunately every time we use it it does something to the carpet which causes dirty patches to form much faster. Now we've got loads of circles on our carpet which are very evident to visitors.Customer Review: Too complicated
Summary: 2 Stars
This product is far too complicated for its own good. If all one wants to do is clean a stain, why does one need an intricate set of automatic settings? What's the point? The older SpotCleaner, which Bissell no longer sells, was much easier to use, more portable, less bulky, less costly. Complexity for its own sake is just silly.Customer Review: Left rings and spots
Summary: 2 Stars
Unfortunately, I found this product lacking. When I clean with it, there are rings left where each spot had been. I have tried having a professional cleaner come and reclean and the rings came back. I had high hopes for this product, but cannot recommend it.Customer Review: SPOT remover
Summary: 2 Stars
I was pretty disappointed with this item and returned it. It seemed to only clean like half a circle and the spot size is very small. About 6 ".
It would be fine for immediate spot removal.
Customer Review: I dont know what people are RAVING about?!?!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am cheap. I will admit it. But this just seemed like a great investment for a mom of a 19 month old and another baby due in a few months. I was so excited to get this item! I couldn't wait to see how it worked since just about every review was a 4 or 5 star one.
I got it next day from Amazon. I quickly tried it on old spots. Used the Roxy stuff and didnt even lighten any of them. Even the one that dried only a few hours ago. SO far I was far from impressed. My son's sippy cup leaked and the fruit punch getfit on the carpet... here was a FRESH, WET stain! I put the SpotBot IMMEDIATELY on the spot and it lightened it but the spot is still very there!
OK... so my problems with this unit....
(1) Yes the cleaned spot is wet but you can always take the manual handle and rub the spot to help suck extra moisture out.. otherwise it took over half a day for a small spot to dry. So while its wet, you can minimize it so that wasn't terribly bad.
(2) It is very loud! Much louder then my vacuum. My son covers his ears and runs when he sees it and it is too noisy in my opinion.
(3) Yes its quick - either 3 or 6 minute cycles but... it has yet to clean any spot back to normal!.
(4) It actually makes spots WORSE on our carpet. We have a Berber type carpet. There is no padding underneath. Just wood. Running the SpotBot makes the area where it was darker then the rest not lighter like others have said.
I am realizing this may not be the fault of the SpotBot but it does horribles on our carpet.
I wanted to return it 2 days after getting it. Sadly, unless you order DIRECTLY through Bissell (they offer a 30-day money back guarantee), you are out of luck if you used the item before returning!
So now we;re left with a big, useless, heavy paperweight! I wanted to get my mother one for her new carpet, but I am afraid of what it will do to hers and I dont want to be responsible if it does bad things liek it did to ours.
I had to share my experience.
