    5 out of 5 stars tsquared72   September 5, 2008
    Love Love Love this product! We have 3 cats and one of then loves to eat plants and barf all over the carpet all the time!!!!

    I had a Little Green previously which I also adored until I saw the Spot Bot. Seriously you just set it down and turn it on!!!

    My only complaint is that you have to sort of take a towel and rub out the freshly cleaned area so that you don't see the "swirl" area in the carpet. Otherwise this item works perfectly!!

    I'd read the other reviews where they said that the brushes left color on the carpet. This never happened to me! I would buy this product again and again and again!!! I can't wait to see what they come up with next!



    5 out of 5 stars Ten stars, at least!   August 8, 2008
    I read many reviews before purchasing this product. Yes, it leaves a slightly damp spot, you can blot that up while re-fluffing the carpet. Or not. It dries quickly. With an old dog and old cat at home, we find this is nothing short of a wonder. Position the Spot Bot, push a button, done. Carpet clean and fresh smelling. Easy to clean an refill. Go for it!


    4 out of 5 stars Nice little machine to have handy...   August 2, 2008
    I don't buy a lot of appliances or gadgets, as I've learned the hard way that most of them end up covered in dust in a closet. My light colored carpeting forced me to start looking for something stronger when the vacuum won't cut it. I was attracted to the SpotBot mainly because of its size. Its very compact and makes efficient use of its body -- with the hose and attachments wrapped around its sides.

    I have been pleasantly surprised to find that this item performs as promised. It cleans up stains both in automatic mode and with the hose. As others have mentioned, it cleans up so well in automatic mode that it leaves a big clean circle where the brushes rotated. My solution has been to just use the hose and clean stains manually. This eats up a lot of cleaning solution though. I'm already on my 3rd bottle and I've had the SpotBot only about 6 weeks.

    I would have given this another star except for one problem. When you fill the tank with solution, you have to use the entire tank in that session. Whatever is unused has to be dumped. I don't see anyway around it. If you leave the cleaning solution in the tank, it leaks (at least mine did.)

    When I got the machine, I went around and spot-cleaned a number of little stains, and used several full tanks of solution. Now that I'm caught-up, so to speak, for every small new stain, I don't need a full tank. I have to try and fill the tank accordingly or else dump whatever is left. I wouldn't normally care but the solution isn't easy to find and it's expensive to ship. If you get irked over waste, this may annoy you.

    Other than that, I would recommend this machine and would buy it again.





    3 out of 5 stars Spot Bot Review   July 31, 2008
    Product not exactly what I thought it would be. I was disappointed to find it for $60 at BJ's the week following my purchase. Ease of use is not what it should be and I think if it had better suction that would be an improvement.m Also disappointed that I had to purchase the attachment. For the price it should have been included.


    5 out of 5 stars Comments as it ages   July 28, 2008
    My spotbot just died, after 2 years of service. I'm not going to repeat other things people have said, just that:

    1) I believe that it was worth the money.
    2) It have kids. Stuff gets spilled on couches and chairs. The handheld attachment did a good job of getting that stuff out.
    3) I have 2 cars. Kids spill stuff in cars. Both the main unit and the heldheld attachment did a great job of shampooing the carpet in the car.
    4) I have had 3 dogs. The spotbot successfully removed vomit and excrement without any problems, with the exception that it could never completely remove the urine smell that one of the dogs left when it was very young.
    5) It was able to get up many accidents that my kids had when they were potty training.

    In short, if you have kids and dogs, this is a great little device. One warning I would give, is that some people recommend that you use vinegar as a substitute for the shampoo. I think if you do this, you will reduce the life of your spotbot. The seals start to leak. But the vinegar does an awesome job and costs a lot less.
