Bissell SpotBot Compact Carpet Cleaner

A "Must Have" for Parents and Pet Owners

Cindy Tabacchi
The Bissell SpotBot® allows easy spot removal from carpets and upholstery. It can be used hands free or manually. This little machine is an effective way to keep your carpets and upholstered furniture free from spots and stains. Anyone with pets or children should consider purchasing the Bissell SpotBot®.

The SpotBot® is very easy to use. Simply add water and cleaning solution to the tank, plug in the machine to an electrical outlet, and set it on the surface to be cleaned with the soiled area under the spiral cleaning brushes. Designate "Surface Stain" or "Set-in Stain" with the touch of a button, and let the SpotBot® work. The "Automatic Smart SystemTMTM" regulates the amount of cleaner used depending on the level of soil in the area to be cleaned. It applies cleaner, rotates the brushes and suctions up the dirty water within a few minutes. When finished, the used water tank is easily removed, rinsed and replaced for the next use.

For stains over a larger area than the size of the spiral brushes, there is a manual cleaning hose and attachment built in. That's one of great features about the Spot Bot. Everything is built into one compact unit. The manual cleaning attachment includes a brush and is especially good for cleaning spills on the upholstery.

My family has used thSpotBotot® on several surfaces. We found that the automatic, "set it down and walk away" function works great on cut pile carpet. However, when used on berberer-type carpet, it leaves a noticeable circle on the carpet. This can be removed with the manual cleaning attachment. We also found that the manual attachment works well on both cotton and synthetic upholstered furniture, and to clean stains from mattresses.

There are a number of cleaning products available that will work with thSpotBotot®. There is a product to eliminate pet stains and odors. Anyone with dogs or cats will appreciate this product when used with thBisselllSpotBotot®. The occasional "accident" while house-training your dog isn't a problem. When the cat coughs up a fur ball on the carpet or sofa, don't panic. The stain can be treated by thSpotbotot® while you are off working of something else. There also are products for allergen control and for basic carpet cleaning.

ThBisselllSpotBotot® is a great compact deep cleaner. Cleaning up those spills and other stains as soon as possible may mean getting the entire carpet cleaned less often. ThSpotBotot® would be especially valuable to anyone with pets or children.
