It was a fortuitous sequence of events. Bissell’s SpotBot rug cleaner had caught my eye months ago, and only a handful remained on sale at Ollie’s, the local discount and buyout store. But I still held out for a potential discount coupon in the ...

Pros: It actually soaks, scrubs and vacuums all by itself. I'm delighted.
Cons: Hose should have an extension.

When my husband and I moved into our first house two years ago, there was nary a speck of carpet in sight. Just hardwood floors and linoleum. Sometime during our first year in our house, I made the grave mistake of wanting carpet in our bedroom. I ...

Pros: Cleans everything from the carpet! Very simple to use! Has gone down in price.
Cons: Goes through solution quickly; manual setting, brush area could be larger

My home has generally included some form of stain removing/carpet cleaning device over the past 10 years. With 2 cats, a dog and 2 little children. It has been a necessity. Often the device in my home has been a Bissell. In fact, none of us would ...

Pros: Simple to use, excellent results, powerful hand tool, compact, easy to clean, fairly quiet
Cons: Have to suck up excess moisture (personal choice), small water reservoir

I have 2 older cats (can't always find the litter box) and a puppy who isn't quite use to "going" outside yet, as well as 3 kids (3, 6 & 8). So you can imagine what my carpets look like! I would steam clean with a full upright at least once a month, but ...

Pros: Hands Free Operation & Actually does the job
Cons: Pricey, Loud, Leaves a small Wet Spot

I first developed an interest in the Bissell Hands Free Spot Bot when I saw it advertised on television & thought it would be perfect for my fiance. He has two cats that get sick constantly! In fact, I found myself not wanting to pet his cats because ...

Pros: It cleans pet accidents extremely well, and jam pretty well. Not so great with grease.
Cons: Manual mode is annoying. Noisy.

Executive Summary Update: I have had the SpotBot for several months, and it is one of the few products I've bought that I have absolutely no regrets about buying. It works, over and over again, very well. I mostly use it for cleaning up pet ...

Pros: Gets out the Spots, long and effective hose, and great for those smaller jobs.
Cons: Very loud and relatively small solution tank depending on the situation.

My wife and I bought the Bissell SpotBot over a year ago and has it ever lived up to its name! If you have ever wondered whether or not it's worth the money, then read this review and judge for yourselves. However, I'm certain that you won't go wrong. ...

Pros: Performs as promised; easy to use
Cons: a little heavy for its size; availability of cleaning solution

Pros: Efficient, fast, thorough, automatic. Turn the clock back on your carpet!
Cons: Some places charge WAY too much for the cleaning fluid. Manual mode takes some practice.

I have two kids (3 years and 5 months old) and five cats (two 7 years old, three 4 years old). When trouble happens (spit up, cat vomit, juice spills), we put the spot bot down, plug it in, hit a button, and walk away. 4 minutes later, it beeps to ...

Pros: Works very well, one-touch and walk away, picks up everything it puts down
Cons: Makes "crop circles" in carpet, Kinda loud, the beeping sound when done is annoying

What I use my SpotBot for: I needed this spot lifter because of my adorable, sweet, cute little Chihuahua is a lean, mean, 6 pound peeing machine who can't understand the concept of not peeing on the carpet. Trial and Error with other ...

Cons: High consumption of costly solution in auto mode. When done, beeps til turned off.

I debated over buying the SpotBot (now known as Rosey in our house, after the Jetson's maid who did everything for them!) for several weeks, and did as much research as I could before taking the plunge. I even went to the store intending to buy the less ...

Pros: An amazingly easy way to deal with messes.
Cons: Noisy, uses a lot of cleaning solution

When I first saw this on television (HGTV's "I Want That!"), I thought it was an interesting idea, but that it could not be that good, especially that easy. I ignored it. But then, in a moment of weakness, I adopted two Katrina puppies and found myself ...
