 On the Spot Cleaner July 25, 2010

Imagine waking up one morning to find a plate-sized splat of dried vomit on the bedroom carpet, and then finding scattered about the rest of the house multiple small spots stained with vomit or diarrhea. This happened on two consecutive mornings, until a 500-dollar vet visit and treatment calmed Evie's tummy. After a two day hiatus the nightmare repeated with little Piper. There was also the constant of little Bella's occasional carpet muffins.
I finished off a 32-ounce bottle of cleaning solution, a smaller container, and most of the OXY GEN² in five days and usually used only half of the recommended amount of cleaner. Despite my initial skepticism, the SpotBot has proved its value and effectiveness repeatedly. Most stains magically disappeared after one cycle of the wondrous SpotBot. A couple, especially messy spots needed two long cycles. Every single spot eventually succumbed to the little wizard of a cleaner. The SpotBot is the fourth wet carpet-cleaning machine I've owned and is by far the best. My experience with the sick dogs was an irritant, without the SpotBot it would have been a major catastrophe and ordeal.
The turbo brush attachment for manual cleaning is absolutely fabulous. As water/solution is sprayed on the stain, little brushes massage the carpet fibers. The suction mode leaves the carpet damp after extracting most of the liquid. I sometimes follow up a programmed mode with a swipe of the manual brush to suction up additional liquid. The brush is excellent for cleaning larger areas or in corners where the SpotBot can't reach. An alternative is to clean larger areas with overlapping cleanings with the circular SpotBot, a practice that reminds me of the Venn Diagrams from my middle school teaching days.
The clean solution tank holds four cups of liquid. If one follows the guide lines on the clear tank, one would use one cup of water and three combined cups of the soap solution and OXY-GEN. That's putting a lot of cleaner in one's carpet. I don't like the idea of leaving soap residue in the carpet fibers to attract dirt later. With this in mind I use half the recommended amount of cleaner and achieve superb results. When a particularly stubborn stain forces me to increase the amount of cleaner in the solution, I go over the area a second time with clear water. Even after first rinsing the tank thoroughly, soapy water fills the collection tank from the previously cleaned carpet area. It entails some extra time and work, but I recommend following up every cleaning with a rinse of clear water. It extracts soap residue from the carpeting and cleans the SpotBot's plumbing to boot.
The two tanks are extremely easy to remove and reposition on the SpotBot. I'd like to see a flat bottom on the clean water/solution tank so one can rest it on a flat surface while filling it with solution. I try to remember to remove the cleaner's lid before adding water to the tank to avoid cradling it in my arm while unscrewing a container's lid.
Spotty is not excessively noisy, but of average vacuum volume. While going through its cycles, it sounds like a vacuum and washing machine running simultaneously.
The cycle ending beep chimes continuously for half an hour until the stop button is pushed. It can be annoying, but that's a minor complaint.
As someone who's used the SpotBot more times in a week than many will in a year, I highly recommend this carpet-cleaning marvel to anyone with pets, small children, or frequent spillers.
It has far exceeded any and all expectations I had and has been a blessing for our carpet.
Got a puppy? Gotta have a SpotBot.
 Worthless July 13, 2010
disappointed
This product was a waste of money. The spray function did not work at all. (I could not return it as I live overseas.) I manually sprayed carpet stains with a spray bottle and the entire unit died after two months of use.
Leaks & Uses Too Much Solution July 7, 2010

I just received my unit today, and I'm returning it. It's already in the box and ready for the UPS pickup. The bottom of the unit (the part that's supposed to be bolted-together plastic) leaks. It also uses soooo much solution! I only got through two "set-in stain" cycles before the solution was gone.
Good little machine. Better on darker carpet? July 7, 2010

I bought the Spot Bot after moving my bed and finding an old crusty pile of cat barf underneath. I had been wanting a carpet cleaner and didn't put off buying it any longer. The Spot Bot was delivered and I cleaned the cat barf immediately. The carpet was like new again; I was so impressed! After that I cleaned up various spills and stains and it worked quite well.
I recently moved into a house with white carpet - Ugh! I woke up this morning to find that my dog went poop and pee on the carpet and it's stuck and stained. Great. So I get out my little spot bot. I put some Bissell Pet cleaner in it and let it go to work. It picked up most of it but still left a slight stain. Why oh why do they even make white carpet?!?! All in all I like the Spot Bot and I'm glad I bought it. I do wish it had better suction and I also wish I had a high end darker carpet, but it's a great little machine anyways.

As soon as we got the bissell cleaner my Mom used it on the carpet in the computer room and it worked for her very well. I am very happy with my purchase of the Bissell SpotBot cleaner.
