Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL SpotBot Pet Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner, Blue Illusion, 1200A
Customer Review: Finally, a cleaning product that works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't imagine how many tools or other cleaning products I've bought in my life that didn't do even one tenth of the things they promised. The SpotBot really surprised me. I had made an appointment to have my carpets cleaned by a professional cleaner and happened to see SpotBot in Target. I didn't buy it then because I had not heard of it. I came home and Googled it and read the reviews. I ordered it from Amazon and after receiving it I couldn't believe the results. I started cleaning a couple of spots just to see if it worked. It cleaned them so well, I didn't want to stop, but since the carpet cleaners were coming in a few days I wanted to save something for them to clean.
I have one small area outside my kitchen door that doesn't stay clean for very long after cleaning, but I don't believe that is the fault of SpotBot. I don't know what was spilled there and I think I will have to replace the carpet altogether to be rid of it.
I followed the instructions for mixing the cleaning solution I found in the booklet that came with the appliance and it works fine. I agree that it does leave the carpet wetter than I would like, but I dry it the best I can, using the hose attachment and then put a single sheet of paper toweling over the spot so no one will walk on the spot while it is still wet. My husband says he is glad I finally found an appliance that I'm happy with.
Customer Review: Spot Bot Rocks! Really does a great cleanup job.

I have a pet bunny, and though he's litterbox trained and very good, occasionally there are accidents on our nice, expensive cream/oatmeal colored berber carpet. After manually cleaning up a couple of accidents with Folex (another great product) when he didn't go back to the litter box to pee, I started doing research on the internet. After a good amount of research and reading a lot of reviews, I ordered SpotBot Pet (same price as regular green SpotBot) and it works beautifully. The instructions are simple to follow and it is a very user-friendly machine. I stayed in the room the first time I used it and watched with fascination as it 'did its thing' cleaning up the urine stain. The carpet does get wet, so I followed advice of other reviewers and used the manual hose/brush to vacuum up the excess water. Within a few hours the carpet was dry, no 'crop circle' rings were left and the urine stain was completely gone. This is a great little machine, even if the formulas aren't cheap and you use a decent amount, they're not unreasonably priced. Plus, it's well worth it to have the stains gone so easily (and cheaper than carpet cleaning). I highly recommend this product -- it really works great, and deserves the high ratings given by so many reviewers on a variety of sites.Customer Review: Excellent product

I was apprehensive about another bissel product, having already owned a small carpet cleaner. This vacuum works amazingly well though, much to my surprise. So far I've cleaned an old cat vomit stain, a bunny blood stain (he got in a tussle with our cat, but fought back and won. He's fine, don't worry :) and it got both stains out on the first try. I suspected it was more the water/brush/spray technique that worked, so I tried cleaning a stain without solution, but blotting with a clean paper towel revealed the stain on the surface of the carpet. So you do really need to use solution. One tank full of clean water will allow 3 cleaning cycles on the set in stain setting. I'm now using a ginormous leftover bottle of hoover cleaning solution which I've had sitting around for a while, so I'll probably be complaining about the high cost of solution when I need to repurchase. Right now I'm happy though, and my carpets are cat vomit stain free!
UPDATE: I am now using this machine with hot water only. A carpet cleaning professional suggested that, except for very difficult stains, I should use hot water only to avoid leaving residue in the carpet. The machine works very well without solution. I use the hottest water I can get straight from the tap.
Customer Review: Super Easy & EFFECTIVE

I received my SpotBot Pet just today and have already eliminated 3 stubborn set-in pet stains. This little powerhouse removed spots from my carpet which I thought would be difficult, if not impossible to do.
It was super easy to use. I read the instructions and began my hands-free spot removal!! Amazingly, the stains was removed with NO effort on my part. I did nothing but position the Bot over the stain and walked away. That was IT!!!
These pet stains were "gifts", my cat's hairball puke.. Ewww.. I did clean them, mind you, in the traditional sense. On my hands & knees with spray cleaner, scrub brush and towel which achieved results that were less than desirable!! You could still see them on the carpet!! I thought these hideous "gift" remnants would be part of my permanent decor.
So, I used the "set-in" setting along with the INCLUDED samples of the Oxygen2 cleaner and Pet Odor/Stain cleaner that Bissell provided. These two cleaners combined with the Bot's scrubbing prowess not only saved my carpet, it "salvaged" my fabulous yet very shabby chic ;-) decor!!!
I would highly recommend this product to my pet-loving family and friends with "babies" prone to having accidents or leaving "gifts"!!
Good Luck!!
Customer Review: Great timesaver & does a much better job me alone
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this machine. I have many, many, many pets and children, and a husband, and a fulltime job outside the home. So anything that will help clean my carpets and not make me have to drag out the steam cleaner is greatly appreciated. It also has the advantage of being small enough to fit on the stairs - unlike my steam cleaner.
I always have it loaded and ready to use, because there is almost always an accident (usually vomit) that needs my attention in the morning before I go to work. It works way better than any pet stain remover I've ever used. All I do is pick up the chunkier parts, put it on the stain and let it run while I get myself ready to go. If there is a second spot or two then I just set it on the addtional area let it run while I'm gone.
While this does not replace an actual steam cleaning, it does help my carpet go much longer between. This isn't meant to house break a puppy (you need an actual steam cleaner). But this is great for owners of adult pets who sometimes vomit(for me this is a daily experience), or have the occasional accident.
I love this so much that I'm buying another one for my mother who has the same pet problems that I do.
