Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL Remanufactured SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Carpet Cleaner, 1200R
Customer Review: The Best Automotive Interior Cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the SpotBot to clean stubborn stains on automotive carpet. It far exceeded my expectations. I used to use carpet spot remover and a hand brush. I thought I was doing a good job, but when I went over the same area with the SpotBot, the collected liquid looked like chocolate milk. I liked the results so much on the carpet that I tried it on the seats. I had the same "chocolate milk" results. After going over everything a couple of times, I can now say that everything is clean. You don't realize how dirty your interior is until you clean it with the SpotBot.
I should mention that my great results came by using the machine on the "manual setting". I tried the automatic mode, but was not as successful due to lack of space. I am sure it would work great on home carpet. So far the SpotBot has worked flawlessly, but if anything happened to it, I would not hesitate to buy another one.
Customer Review: My wife's favorite household tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a Bissell SpotBot for my wife about a year ago and it has become just about her favorite household cleaning tool - she absolutely LOVES it! We have 2 larger dogs (Boxers) and even though they are well-trained, once in a while we wind up being gone unexpectedly for many hours and one of the dogs has to go on the carpet. Or they will track in something from the outside, such as when it is raining. Or our grandkids will spill something when they are visiting. The spot bot takes care of those small stain areas in a hurry, with no fuss whatsoever. The chemicals are easily obtained from Walmart and it isn't that heavy for my wife to carry around, despite having had back surgery. She would not trade her SpotBot for anything and I like it because it keeps the repeat visits from the carpet cleaners to a minimum. If you have kids or animals, this is a valuable tool to have!Customer Review: Spot Bot Gets the Stains Up
Summary: 4 Stars
After trying all different kinds of spray carpet cleaning solutions to remove pet stains and being disappointed at the results, I finally bought my Spot Bot. I am very happy with the results. It has removed all of the old, set-in stains. I would recommend this product to anyone with pets.
However, I have a few gripes: The automatic function where you push a button and walk away only works on brand new stains (even though it says it works for set-in ones). If you really want to get the stain up, use the hose. Also, the container that you fill with cleaner is oddly shaped, so you have to hold it with one hand while you pour with the other. It would be much easier if it was flat so it could stand up on its own.
Despite my complaints, I am very happy with it because it is the only thing to remove both the stains and odors from my light-colored carpets.
Customer Review: SpotBot not so Hot
Summary: 1 Stars
Stay away from this carpet cleaner. I've had two in two years and both are in the landfill. First one lasted for 5 uses then went dead. To their credit the company did a "cord cut" (you cut the cord and send it to them to prove the machine is junk) and sent me a refurbished machine. Second Machine lasted 3 uses and also went dead. No power to either one. I contacted Bissel who said I was out of luck with warranty and I should take it to a certified repair shop. I did, the repair technician told me SpotBot electronics are junk. He said I could try hitting the machine where the circut board is. So I did. Surpise it started working again! Got one more use out of it before it died for good. Bissel is ok company, this is just a bad design. Go with Green Machine, it's more reliable and less expensive. Besides SpotBot leaves little clean circles in your carpet.Customer Review: Another Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought one of these and, like a lot of handy helper gadgets, it seemed pretty neat at first. But it absolutely soaks your carpet (actually not good for the carpet or the pad), pick up most of the stain, and then spreads the remainder around. After a couple of cycles and manually sucking up the excess cleaning solution you end up with a clean carpet. But does that really save that much time and effort? After less than a year of use ours stopped pumping cleaning fluid (went through the troubleshooting, called tech support, etc) and we couldn't get it to work. So now we have an expensive scrub brush. Seems like our full-size Hoover carper cleaner (which didn't cost much more than this Bissell) has held up longer, does a better job and is more reliable. So once again, the handy time-saving helper gadget that you just can't live without is a dud.
