It is going to happen at some point. Your little one has an accident. No stress here if you have this machine in your cleaning Arsenal. 3 or 6 minute cycles provide automated cleaning. Problem solved with a push of a button.

This is the second SpotBot I've owned. The first was leaking more than it picked up, but it was also 5 years old. This is a step up from previous designs, being more compact & easier to clean. It doesn't pick up all the water on its own, so I always use the hose to manually get the rest out of the carpet. Overall it does what it's supposed to and helps me easily clean up after my pet makes a mess.

I have two dogs and I'm a clean freak. Our whole house is carpeted and I hate getting out my big steam cleaner every time there is an incident. I love to just set this unit and let it do its thing. As other reviews state, you do have use the hand tool after you are done to get the excess moisture from the spot but it really does great. You can usually get two to three spots every tankful and every time I use it for one spot I try to find two others to go ahead and get. If you use it in high-traffic areas it might clean it too good and leave a round spot. But I'm not complaining. It just showed how dirty my carpet was and I got out my big machine and that solved that. Great machine. I use it in my mini van too. Great for those little spots and easy to get out without involving a whole big project.

I have two dogs and, needless to say, they make messes on the carpet. I hate having to pull out the large steam cleaner just to get rid of one spot. I also don't like having to get down on my hands and knees to manually clean and/or use an appliance. Enter the SpotBot. This is exactly what I was looking for with a spot cleaner. Fill the chamber with water and some solution, put the device on the stain, and it does the rest. Pick it up, drain the waste compartment, and you're good to go. There are three modes when using the SpotBot: surface stain, set-in stain, and manual mode where you use the hand tool. I've used the hand tool once just to try it out and it works but manually scrubbing the carpet kind of defeats the purpose of having this as Bissell makes a manual spot cleaning device that costs half as much as this. Generally speaking, the surface stain setting (which takes about 3 minutes vs the 7 minutes for the set-in stain setting) is enough to get things clean. I've clean dog urine, stuck on dog fecal matter, dog vomit, spilled soda, spilled fruit juice, chili sauce, and various other things from my off-white carpet and the SpotBot is able to take care of every stain. The only thing you have to make sure is that you use the SpotBot as soon as you are aware of a stain. Old stains, ones that have been set-in for years, aren't going to be removed by this unless you discover some special cleaner that I haven't come across. I use multiple types of cleaners, anything made for a large carpet shampooer/steam cleaner will work with this. I knocked this off by one star as the device is pretty noisy, I can hear the scrubbing brushes through the floor when I'm in the basement cleaning the first floor. It also beeps whenever it is done and doesn't stop until you hit the "finish" button. Overall though, this appears to perform a deep clean on my carpet and I've used it on Berber and standard carpet along with rugs. It's a nifty little device that makes cleaning spots easy so you don't have to pull out any large equipment. It's easy to setup, use, clean, and then store away. The SpotBot is a little on the expensive side (seeing as how you can buy full sized carpet cleaners for $25-$50 more) but it's worth it for the convenience. Plus the cleaning head is pretty much the perfect size for capturing pet messes so you can just "set it and forget it."

Every puppy should come with a SpotBot. It does a great job of cleaning, and is super simple to use. The cord is a good length should your furry friend piddle in the middle of the room, away from an outlet. Can be noisy, but nothing terribly loud.
