Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL SpotBot Pet Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner, Blue Illusion, 1200ACustomer Review: Worked wonders on my 5 Stars
We have tan micro fiber couches and a 1 and 3 year old. So needless to say that our furniture takes quite a beating with juice, food, and recently throw up when both the kids got the stomach flu. We have gotten them cleaned where they come out looking brand new but it costs a couple hundred dollars to clean the entire set when its really only the seats that get dirty, then it seems like within days they have more stains. My mom got us this for Christmas and I used the wand to clean them myself and they look great! I am not crazy about the cleaner that comes with it. It left the fabric a little stiff and when I got a little on my hands and feet it burned my skin so I was concerned abot it getting on my kids. I just started using my own cleaner which worked better. My only problem with the actual machine is that the sprayer is pretty broad so you tend to spray more than just the area you were aiming for, but that can be fixed by holding it closer. This cleaner is such a life saver and it has already proved it is worth the price by cleaning our couches and 2 more chairs. Plus now I will be able to maintain them better instead of having to wait 6 months between cleanings. EXCELLENT BUY!!
Customer Review: I can keep my cats! Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This thing is great. We purchased it as part of our wedding gifts. My husband was skeptical. However, it is perfect. We had a light gray berber carpet in terrible shape, between 2 gastro-intestinally challenged cats and 4 kids who like orange soda. THe SpotBot did clean so perfectly that it left perfect circles on the worn carpet. It was all the incentive we needed to replace the carpet. We had been hesitant to replace it because we figured it would just get re-stained. However, since the Spot Bot worked SO well, we can keep the new carpet in perfect condition. So far, it has completely removed pee and puke stains. The new carpet is a frisee (kind of fuzzy). We've also used it on old stains on the upstairs plush carpets. Completely gone. As to using too much detergent, I use WAY less than it suggests, remembering that Bissel is promoting its own product by requiring so much for each use. Totally not necessary. I use about 3 tablespoons per tank, and get great results. Each tank leans for 3 cycles, so that's not expensive to maintain. Thanks to the Spot Bot, I got new carpet, and don't have to have the discussion about "Are The Cats Worth Destroying This House?" :)
Customer Review: A must have for pets Summary: 5 Stars
We have a 5 month old German Shepard and 10 year old cat. The cat has from time to time vomited on our carpet. Food, hair balls, bile, etc. My wife and I both work and sometimes we come home after such an excretion, we wipe up what we can and hit it with the Spotbot. Even if it has been sitting for hours or a few days, it is amazing how perfectly well it cleans. We finish the cycle by manually using the hose and vacuum attachment and sucking up any residual fluid. As a puppy, our GSD would run around playing and decide it was time to take a crap. Wipe up what you can and Spotbot does the rest.
The other day we came back from a beach fishing trip. Some how our bait cooler tipped over and some of the juice ran out into the carpet of my car. The smell was indescribable and it wasn't going away so I pulled out the Spotbot with the manual hose attachment. The trigger on the attachment sprays the cleaning mixture in a fan pattern and then you can scrub and suck it up. Easy, easy, and most importantly, no more odor.
This is the second review I've ever written but I had too because this thing is worth the investment.
Customer Review: Worried about Kitty Smells Summary: 5 Stars
My cat is very picky about his litter and has a tendency to go outside the box if it's not cleaned everyday. I love my kitty but my apartment was starting to smell like one huge litter box from his "accidents" and I was on the verge of making him an outdoor cat. I've tried almost every product out there to get the smell and satins out but they only worked for a little while or not at all.
I registered for the SpotBot Pet cleaner for my shower hoping that this would finally work. If it didn't at least I wasn't spending money on yet another product that didn't get the job done. I pulled it out last night and IT IS AMAZING! I found the spots with a black light and sprayed them with the pet stain cleaning solution. Immediately, the stain started to fade under the back light. I did a little scrubbing (nothing intense) and dried it with the hose and turned the black light back on. NO MORE STAINS! The smell was completely gone and I felt like crying. I annoyed the heck out of my fiance by gushing about the machine for 20 mins :)
I highly, highly recommend this machine if you love your pet and the smell of clean air.
Customer Review: Gets the job done. No muss, no fuss. Summary: 5 Stars
We have two dogs, and hound and a chihuahua. The small one occasionally has issues overnight, and the larger one will backslide on his training every once in awhile. The SpotBot does an excellent job taking care of these accidents in between professional carpet cleanings (we have the major rooms done every year or two).
On the plus side the SpotBot does exactly what it's supposed to do. It thoroughly cleans small stains (pet or otherwise) on carpets with virtually no effort on my part (hey, you do have to fill it, plug it in, press a button, and empty the waste water when it's done).
As others have noted, it does tend to use a lot of cleaning fluid. I think other reviewers have suggested a way to deal with this. Mix the solution and water in appropriate ratios and put it in a spray bottle. Fill the SpotBot with just hot water when you need to use it. Spray the solution on the spot and get it thoroughly wet, then use the SpotBot normally. Saves on solution and gets the stains out just as well (maybe better since, if you let the solution soak in for a few minutes, it acts as a pretreatment as well).
