Amazon.com Review
The Bissell SpotBot Pet might actually be a dog or cat owner's best friend. Puppy training "accidents," spit-up hairballs, the occasional half-eaten chicken carcass: with pets in the house, cleaning challenges come with the territory. Some of the worst mishaps happen when there's no one around, creating set-in stains that resist the most stubborn scrubbing with a sponge or rag. This pet-friendly compact deep cleaner does all its work hands free, meaning users can fold laundry, wash dishes, even walk the carcass-scatterer while the mess gets cleaned up. To use, clear away excess debris and place the cleaner over the spot. Once engaged, the SpotBot Pet's unique Automatic Smart System measures just the right amount of cleaner and water and sprays it onto the cleaning area. Next, the machine's spiral brushing action scrubs away spots and odors, while its heavy-duty suction draws up both water and stains. Users can choose one of one of two pre-programmed settings, a three-minute cycle for fresh or surface dirt or longer for set-in stains. A beep announces when the cycle is finished, and the pause/resume function puts the cleaning process on hold if need be. The SpotBot Pet can also be used in manual mode on upholstery, stairs, or car interiors, using a vacuum flex hose and three-inch Tough Stain Brush. Also included are 8 ounces of Bissell's specially formulated pet odor and spot remover, as well as a 16-ounce bottle of Oxy Gen2, a multi-purpose oxygen booster for tough stains like red wine, coffee, and fruit juice. Equipped with a 32-ounce cleaning tank and 16-inch power cord, the SpotBot Pet measures a compact 9-1/2 by 20 by 14 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park

3 out of 5 stars Excellent - in the short term but broke after 2 months   December 2, 2008
Doris (Toronto, Canada)
I really loved my spotbot for the first two months. I used it daily as a result of a sick pet. The machine did a great job, although it occasionally left ring patterns in the carpet. It is very easy to use and clean, but is short lived. It broke after 2 months, and will not spit out any cleaning fluid. I thought it might be jammed with a hair ball, but it is impossible to dismantle and clean out. Now, do I get another one because it works so well, or not because of how quickly it broke down? We really need something, so I will probably buy another one.


5 out of 5 stars Love it   November 30, 2008
Elizabeth W. Shaw (Catonsville, MD)
The SpotBot has been great for cleaning my cat's throw-up recently. I just spray the spot with a spray carpet cleaner and put the SpotBot on the spot, turn on and walk away, it works on the spot for about a minute and it's gone. I like that I don't have to stay there while it's working.

I've also found you can use other kinds of carpet cleaners (not only the Bissell ones that go with it) but you have to be careful to only put a little bit in, because they seem to sud more and cause the SpotBot to have suds coming out the back end.



4 out of 5 stars SpotBot Pet Gets the Job Done   November 23, 2008
Marcia Berg (Las Vegas, NV United States)
Having three cats who occasionally deposit yucky "surprises" on my almost white carpet, trying to clean up after them satisfactorily presented a real challenge, and I purchased the SpotBot Pet compact deep cleaner as a last resort. That turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Actually, using it hands-free doesn't work on my carpet because it's too flat and the brushes and suction barely touch it (which is why I gave the SpotBot only a four-star rating), but using the attachment instead works like a charm. It takes no time at all to get the job done (and well!) with little effort. No more embarrassing carpet stains between professional cleanings!

I can't say much that hasn't already been said. I'll just add my 5-star vote to the count! I'm a very satisfied customer!


1 out of 5 stars Don't believe the Hype!   November 18, 2008

I am truly disappointed, for all the claims and good reviews this product does not live up to them.
A. My carpet is a fairly new upscale in cost cream with roses.
B. My daughter has an all out fetish with Gatorade and spilling it on the carpet.
C. She also likes those moisturizing creams that turn your skin a shade darker
Ok that is just to give you a sort of history of with what I am working (or working against). So I bought my Bissell Spotbot Pet because they didn't have the little green spot bot at Bed, Bath and Beyond and I just couldn't wait with Thanksgiving around the corner I wanted to have a nice clean carpet. I also paid about 30 dollars more for this model. Let me start off by saying NONE of the spots have been removed after multiple applications and going through 7 very expensive bottles of their cleaning formula and boosting oxygen agents.
1. A filled tank only cleans three spots (and yes I use the word clean but I should just say wets it down)
2. A bottle only fills two tanks, and at a cost of 3.99 to 7.99 it will get very pricey if you have a lot of stains to remove.
3. Maybe my expectations are too high but a machine that does all the work for you?? Yes it is too good to be true. First of all you might fine yourself using the hand held attachment to get up any excess water that the machine so graciously leaves behind. If I wanted to do the cinderella scrub I would have done so and not gotten the machine.
4. The machine is loud. My daughter can't nap during it in an entirely different room. It sounds like they are doing construction in my bedroom.
5. I thought for once I would get a great product that would help instead of frustrate me. Honestly maybe I did let the stains go to long, pet stains have never really been a problem with me but juice Gatorade and lotion, I give this thingy a thumbs way down....
