 Cheap plastics ruin this unit March 6, 2010
Konrad Witte (Scottsdale, AZ)
Bissell "spot bots" suffer from horrendously cheap plastics and a slew of yet-uncorrected design flaws.
I am now on my third "spot bot"; as others have described, both my previous units failed within 15 months of purchase, each for the following reasons:
1) various components in the cheap plastic suction hose/sprayer attachment fractured and disintegrated
2) the screw post underneath the water/solution reservoir cracked and disintegrated
2) poorly-galvanized vacuum motor suffers from pitting corrosion due to inadequate seal of overflow safety flap
Again, all after nearly 1 year! Now, in our latest "spot bot", even the electronics have begun to act quirky.
Conclusion: If you buy a "spot bot", expect to fuss with having to exchange for a new unit roughly annually.
Bissell: either use higher grade plastics or move on to aluminum or stainless steel. This is ridiculous. Are your margins really that thin? Step up.
 Well.....it could be much better February 11, 2010

Ok. I bought the Spot Bot when it first came out, so I've owned and used it for about 4? years now.
I have oatmeal carpet (meaning off-white with flecks of brown and black). Not a good choice in color when you have kids and animals. I'll admit it was a poor choice. Needless to say, because of my poor choice, I now have spots in my house, hence buying the Spot Bot.
Positives:
*Small/compact handheld thing vs. steam vac size
*hose!
*you can set it and it'll clean the spot without your help
*Long cord
Negatives:
*The Spot Bot leaves dark circles in my carpet.
*I use the hose because, funny, the hose doesn't leave marks. (No it's not because of the soap/lack of soap. I've tried everything.)
*The 'junk' that you suck up gets left in the hose and there's no way to get it out. I've cleaned up vomit and dog/cat 'stuff' with this hose. You can imagine the smell every time we use it. Makes me want to add to the vomit that's being cleaned up.
*Bad 'brown water' tank design. There's the white "thingy" that's in the middle of the tank. It's where the dirty water gets brought into the tank. There is NO way to clean that either! So unless you get a long bottle brush or a thin toothbrush or something, all that 'junk' stays in there.
So what is the point of the Spot Bot? Taking the smell out of your carpet/upholstery into another container. EWWW. I'd suggest finding something else that can be cleaned out better.
Great Idea, just needs to be better thought out.
 GREAT INVESTMENT!! February 7, 2010

I bought this after getting a new puppy - wish I had bought one a whole lot sooner! It does a terrific job of clean old and new stains. It ought to be mandatory for anyone with an indoor pet!
Surprise! February 3, 2010

Got this for when our cat vomits on the rug. Thought it was overkill, but it's not. It's an amazing machine! Not only does it do a great job, when she has an accident on the rug, I use this on the spot. She cowers and leaves the room. But when she gets sick on the floor, I just wipe it up. The surprise is... she learned to get sick on the floor instead of the rug so that big machine doesn't start to roar! HA!
LOVE the SpotBot January 30, 2010

I love love love the SpotBot. I gave my husband the ultimatum to buy the SpotBot or get rid of the dog. He chose the SpotBot. It is very easy to use and to keep clean. We have used it for "old" stains and it WORKS! The setting for "set it stains" is great, you set it with one button and walk away. It beeps when it's finished. I have white carpeting throughout the house and the stairs seem to get the most abuse. We have set the SpotBot on the steps and it has COMPLETELY removed dirt stains. The removable hand piece works great for hard to reach places. I prefer not to use chemically based solvents in my home (small children) so I use straight vinegar in the SpotBot and have had GREAT success. It is easy to keep clean and store. The only thing I have found is that when I store it with the vinegar in it it slightly leaks (not enough to have standing liquid, but enough that I can tell where it was sitting). I now store it empty. This is nothing that would keep me from purchasing it. It has saved us a small fortune, I'm sure, from having my carpet cleaners come in every time I have small stains!
