Time to check out the product page along with tons of reviews

and

Check out this handy stain removal guide

the spotbot part of this cleaner assumes that your pet will stain the carpet in an almost perfect circle. that never seems to be the case with my dog. so it seems to me that most folks will wind up using the hand-held hose and tough stain attachment.

but i do think that my previous bissell portable has seen better days; might be time to move to a newer model like this one.

I know they aren’t “pets” per se…

But these work awesome on kids’ stains as well. I just set the auto-scrub however many times is needed to fully remove the spills. Why? Because America.

I love mine. It works great. You do not have to only clean a circle of mess =) Also the hose and attachment do not work nearly as good as the circle brush, but they work good enough that I was in need of money so I picked up a free dirty couch. Spent a couple hours on it with my spot bot, and sold it the next day for $300. It really took a dirty old couch and made it look almost like new. So imagine how well it works on carpet. I picked up a stain that the carpet shampoo company couldn’t get up

I have a wonderful cat that I love with all my heart. She would be perfect except for a few unsightly markings on her thighs and on the back of her head.
So when I saw the name of this product I thought I would finally have a perfect cat.
Really funny, you guys.

There is a reason these are refurbished. I went through three of these models in 90 days. The gears for the rotating head either get gummed up, stripped or both. It then stops working. Then your “mess” keeps not getting fully drawn out of the hose, leaving it there to ferment into a smell partway between death and public restroom at a three day old burrito festival.

I don’t know what you are trying to pick up with yours, but I have had mine for 4 years and it still works great. I use mine at least once a week

The water tank leaks on mine, so always have to remove it. Yes, it does a good job-- too good. Now, unless you keep your carpets perfectly clean otherwise, your carpet has ‘ringworm’ as there are all these visibly clean circles everywhere your useless pug puked. Better than having puke spots, but you still need a full size cleaning before having company over.

I have one of these and think they are great. If you have kids or pets they are pretty much a must if you ask me. They are also good to use in your car with the detachable hose part. One tip though, after cleaning the floor with the automatic scrubber, I like to use the detachable hose attachment to go over the spot because it tends to pull out more of the water in the rug making it dry faster.

We received one of these (new) as a wedding gift in August and I love it. It works very well.

If the stain is larger than a circle, you just move it and run it as many times as you need to in order to cover the area. It really isn’t for large areas, though. You can use the hose and brush to do manual cleaning but I wouldn’t recommend that for large areas either. The hose and brush does work very well for me on stairways though.

It did a good job on a red stain that I’d worked on with a Hoover steamvac several times without success. It has worked well on a few heavily-soiled areas where the big machine really didn’t do much. However, I have had a couple old stains (origin unknown - before we had the house) that it hasn’t been able to lift, although I’m guessing nothing will take them out.

The quality of the construction seems very good. Everything fits together well and it feels pretty sturdy.

I had one of these and while it worked well, it worked too well. The super clean ring on my carpet made the rest of my carpet look dirty and dingy then I just ended up having to pull out the big cleaner to do the entire room anyway.

So while I do not recommend for the spots on carpet, since it works so well and only creates more work, I still recommend it to clean with the hand tool. It’s light, easy to carry and you dont get the random clean ring. It also works great if you happen to have stairs with carpet or stains on furniture and barstools.

We’ve had one of these for several years now. Between my 5 y/o son and my 10 y/o Miniature Pincer it sees weekly work.

Yes, agree on the “clean ring” thing, however if you use the hand tool you can “smooth” it out and make it more of a larger clean spot that’s not as apparent.

The hand tool is GREAT for furniture, I’ve cleaned entire pieces with this. It really does a good job of sucking dirt out… and the biggest plus of this tool - is…

Cleaning a car.

Yup, I’ve pulled out entire milkshakes from the back seat carpet. I’ve cleaned to the point of “new looking” automotive seat sets with 200,000 miles on them. It really does a great job.

I’ve found also that spraying the stained area with your favorite carpet cleaner, and then just filling the “clean tank” with HOT water works best in pulling stains up. Hot water works great by itself and never damages anything on the fabric.

I almost only use the hand-tool and manual mode.

The entire unit is easy to cart around, clean, and live with. Far better than a large upright cleaner.

Always clean (rinse) and drain both tanks before storage.

This is a cool little cleaning device. It turns on, spins, dispenses cleaner, vacuums it up, and does its thing. Really Neato!

There is one small issue that I had with mine, and that is IT DOESN’T CLEAN THE SPOT! Sure it works as far as dispensing cleaner and then sucking it back up. But as far as cleaning the pet stain up? Forget it. My trusty ol’ Hoover full size carpet shampooer works about ten times better.

It’s a pain to drag out the full size carpet machine for every time little spill and spot; which is why I bought this little machine. And if it would have worked that would have been great. But alas, back to the store it went.

A great idea; but woefully short of delivering what it promises: actually cleaning up spots and stains!

You sold it to us for our basement carpeting spots. Thanks for the details.

How dirty are all of your carpets that this thing is leaving behind rings of cleanliness?

Does anyone have experience with how well these are refurbished? It seems like it could be right up there with buying a refurbished toilet brush? How well would they have to clean it?
