BISSELL - SpotBot Corded Handheld Deep Cleaner - Grapevine Purple/Titanium

The quick clean is a little too quick but I guess if you get the stain right after it happens it’d be okay. I’ve got cats with hair ball pukes that stain the carpet. This little Spot Bot on the deep clean cycle worked great. I do agree with another reviewer saying they used the hose after just to suck up any excess water— I did that and got maybe half a tablespoon of water up extra after the cycle but nothing major. Before and after pictures included.

I had an older model of this awhile ago that I left with my brothers when I moved, well my dog threw up on a very expensive area rug in my house so I decided to go pick up one of these again. Works great and as advertised....easy to use

Works great for this little accidents our new little puppy has!

Cleaned a stained chair and some old stains in my rug and cleaned them right out! Extremely impressed

I’ve used the Spot Bot more than I wish I had to, and it has certainly met the needs and expectations of a $150 carpet cleaner. However, if a bigger, more powerful version with more attachments and features existed I would likely have chosen that. The handheld hose option is good, but only for small spots, and sucking up the last bit of water the auto-head can’t get. I would like to see a bigger attachment with a roller brush, with better, more-sturdy handle. This would be for the wider spots on the carpet that need elbow grease. Also, a built in water heater would be worth the upgrade. Moving on, the unit leaks a bit. There is always a small puddle under the auto-cleaner part (underside brushes) when I’m rinsing it out by sucking up clean water with the hose at the sink. Sometimes there is a leak from the handheld end of the hose after using the attachment. I think the hose is shrinking with the weather, its about 70 in my house (which is not that cold... normally warmer in the house, 80) and the hose is more rigid and therefore harder to bend around and plug back into the slot, feels like I’m pulling too hard on it to plug it in, which can’t be good for it in the long run, and will likely wear out when out of warranty. Maybe it just needs to be an inch longer. Using cheap material, or not enough, is how they keep the price low, but ends up costing us more a few years down the road when we have to buy a replacement, because you know there won’t be any replacement parts available in 5 years, or you’d have to send it in to get repaired which would cost as much as or more than buying a new one. I’m not the biggest fan of the “clean-side” water tank. It’s precarious to hold; it has slipped out of my hand since there isn’t a good handle shape and it’s slick plastic. And the odd horseshoe shape makes the water slosh around when you’re filling it, and with one tiny little fill line marker on the end of the horseshoe you have to set it down on the sink for a minute for the water to level out, then add the cleaner solution through the hole in the tank that is SMALLER than the hole in the bottle of solution. The “dirty-side” tank must be handled with great care or it will spill. Also no handle shape (finger indention, etc) in the molding of the plastic, and not very grippy texture. There are holes on the top and bottom, the water is supposed to pour out of the top hole when tipped, but some water inevitably ends up going down the internal chute and dripping out of the bottom hole. So, have your sacrificial towel at the ready whenever you use this. Overall, it’s a great value when you consider the cost of renting a stand-up unit from the grocery store, which costs about half as much as this for 24hrs. And it’s MUCH better than using a spray, brush & towel when you have small messes from pets that forget the carpet isn’t their toilet.

Honestly, I hate cleaning. So i bought the Neato D5 to vacuum while i do other things, and the Spotbot to clean the pet mess. Can't say enough good things about it, works awesome. Tips: 1: always vacuum first before using any shampooer, they're not vacuums.... 2: Yes, it leaves behind a wet circle (using the automated feature) after it does it's thing, this is the not a flaw (it would be way more expensive if you had to do nothing)... It wets the area, then scrubs for you, and sucks up what a robot can, then the user comes through with a quick swipe or three from the hand attachment. Presto, done and dry, and only on my knee for about 20 seconds to swipe up the little be of moisture left over. 3: electric and water don't play nice, get the warranty best buy offers (don't be cheap).

Upgraded from an older model and this one beats it by a mile. It's much more powerful and the deep clean brush works well over the wand for stubborn stains.

We have an older cat who often throws up liquid on our carpets. It's usually clear so I'm sure there are spots we don't even know about, but when we catch it this "robot" handles it. I know there are reviews that say these break down after a few months but ours is going strong for well over a year with frequent use. Honestly, if it stopped working right now I would go buy the exact same one. We've already gotten our moneys worth after the first 6 months.
