Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Carpet Cleaner, 1200BCustomer Review: I love my SpotBot! Summary: 5 Stars
My SpotBot is now my favorite helper around the house. SpotBot is an absolute MUST to have around with an indoor pet! With my allergies worsening due to autoimmunity, and being stuck in a rent house with old carpet until the end of the year, I was definitely going to have to get rid of my 5 year old cat, if not for SpotBot.
It was not enough to have my own full-sized carpet shampooer because within days of cleaning all the carpets, the cat would start up again with the puking and because she'd become obese, she couldn't clean herself well, either. While I'm helping my cat lose weight, it takes a long time and sometimes she'd dibble on the carpet, in addition to the puking. Surface carpet cleaner sprays just left too much puke and dibble in the carpeting.
As you can tell, my cat is loved because I've suffered through and finally found a way to really clean the carpeting when she gets sick or has an accident. It is so simple just to pick up any globs and then sit the SpotBot on the area and go about my business. I can clearly see that the SpotBot is getting ALL of the gunk out and everyone winds up happier and more importantly, healthier.
Save your carpet, your health, and your time and get the SpotBot. I'm just angry at myself for waiting months to get it. It has been a lifesaver and relationship saver between me and my cat.
Customer Review: A Lifesaver Summary: 5 Stars
I really cannot say enough about this little miracle worker and its maker, Bissell. The SpotBot saved my sanity when I turned my livingroom into a hospital room for months to take care of my elderly, arthritic, 85-pound dog. The machine was used often -- which after a while meant there were circles in the carpeting that were more noticeably clean than other areas of the carpet, but I wasn't only using the SpotBot to make the carpet look clean, I also needed and wanted to eliminate odors. The SpotBot allowed me to go for longer periods between professional carpet cleanings, and my home smelled fresh -- at least that's what my friends, family, and the wonderful vet who made housecalls told me. When my first year of ownership of the SpotBot was nearly up, the pump quit working. I was disappointed, but by then did not need it like I once had, and I was grateful for the months of service it gave me when I really needed it. I didn't want to give up on it though, so I took it to a repair shop. When I returned to the shop to pick up my SpotBot, I was told that I didn't owe a dime -- and rather than repair it, I think Bissell replaced the whole machine -- either that or it was marvelously refurbished. I used it today for the first time since the repair/replacement and it worked great. This is a terrific machine -- especially for homes that welcome kids and pets.
Customer Review: If you have dogs or kids you need this! Summary: 5 Stars
I have light tan carpet in my family room and between my 60lb. dog and my nine month old baby it takes a beating. I didn't have the money to get my carpet cleaned every other month and I didn't have the energy to rent a machine and do it myself. After researching the spot bot I decided to get one. It's wonderful! It's very easy to use and store. You can leave the cleaning solution in it. It's perfect for everyday spills and wear. What I did was I had my carpet professionally cleaned right before it got it. Now when we have an accident or just some muddy paw prints, I only have to clean the bad spots. The machine does all the work. You literally fill the cleaning container (it's detachable), set it back on the machine, place the bot on the spot and press start. It has two settings, surface and set-in stains. It beeps when it's finished and you simply pour out the dirty water (again the container is small and detachable). That's it! It's gotten out everything for me so far. The clean spot is damp afterwards. If you run it in the evening you'll be dry by the next day. For spots bigger then the cleaning head just run it once, move it over and run it again. I'm very pleased with it and have told all my friends about it. I think it's ideal for daily touch up's and upkeep. It will allow you to go much longer between complete wall-to-wall carpet cleaning.
Customer Review: Got Chihuahuas? Got Carpet? THEN YOU NEED THIS! Summary: 5 Stars
OK, I was skeptical about this little ditty. But I have two chihuahuas and one who pees when she is angry, when nature calls, when she feels like it, when she is bored - you get the picture. Most of the time I can get her to go outside and "do her thing" but every once in awhile she doesn't make it outside. So I bought this spot bot to get out old pee stains and also to have it on hand for future accidents.
AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!! The old stains are gone and the new ones don't even get a chance to set it.
It is as easy to use as it appears - just fill it up, put it on the spot and turn it on. If you want to use the wand to "agitate" the stain or do direct suction, you can, but you don't have to. Just let the spot bot do it's thing and you will truly be amazed.
By the way, I also accidently tracked in some tree berries on my shoes and there were a few stains around the house in the carpet. The spot bot got those out too and a few had been sitting for weeks.
If you want to clean your entire carpet - move on, this is a SPOT bot. If you want to clean a spot that is bigger in diameter than 6", you can, you will just have to do it in sections.
I highly recommend this little ditty - it is easy to use, works great and super convenient to have around.
Customer Review: Easiest spot cleaner ever Summary: 5 Stars
I have had other Bissell Green Machine models in the past and was in the market for a new one. I relied upon the user reviews here on Amazon to help select the best model and must say I was not disappointed in my decision to go with the Spot Bot! It is SO easy to use and cleaning/storage is a complete breeze. There is one solution tank/bottle that has a screw top. You simply put in a few ounces of cleaner and fill the rest with water (make it warm or hot if you like), screw the cap back on and place it on the machine. There are 2 self cleaning settings, one for fresh stains and one for set in stains. The set in stain setting will net you 2 cycles out of one cleaning solution fill. I did not find the spots to be left too wet on my carpet, which is more of a premium pad and nap. But the directions do say you can use the manual setting and brush to suction up additional liquid if you think it is too damp. The tank that holds the dirty water is just as easy to clean. Simply lift it out of the machine and dump it out, rinsing it out if necessary. Could not be easier. It too will hold about 2 cycles of the set in stain residual. The machine is very lightweight and the ability to set it on a stain an walk away is great. I am using it on fresh and set in pet stains and it is working great!
