 In love... September 8, 2010

So I bought this little beast two Xmases ago for my mother in law, who was also getting a puppy. I thought it looked perfect for an older person who might have some nasty messes to clean! A winner gift for the grandma with everything! Fast forward a while, and now it's my doggie who has gotten a little geriatric and is having some problems in the potty department. So, I asked her if she wouldn't mind if we borrowed it, since her pooch is no longer in the puppy stage. She happily conceded and I brought it home yesterday. I was extremely disappointed to discover that it's never been out of the box! But fortunately, my dog was quick to provide an opportunity for use tonight! Well, bottom line is.... she IS NOT EVER TAKING THIS BACK. I will hold it ransom! It was awesome and totally her loss!!!! It easily cleaned up the mess that my dog had left for us. In three minutes, my carpet looked as if it had never been touched! The only little annoyance was that it took some priming for the cleaning fluid to squirt out (but customer service quickly and politely helped me out) and now it's great! I have used it 3 times tonight and I am totally in love with this little machine. Her loss is definitely my gain, so........MERRY CHRISTMAS to ME!
 SpotBot never worked August 28, 2010

From day 1, the switch for the automatic brush did not work. "Manual" use is ok, but, as others have mentioned, the water is only partially vacuumed. I compare it to a Hoover which, alas, is no longer made. For the price, I believe all the advertised functions should have been operational. A relatively heavy appliance such as this should have at least two wheels.
Can't say enough good about it August 15, 2010

I can't say enough about my SpotBot. I have a dog and a cat, and both have a real knack for vomiting on the carpet instead of my tiled rooms. The SpotBot ALWAYS gets the spot out. Amazing, given that my carpet is very light tan, and the spot usually bright orange. Per the recommendation of previous reviewers, I use spray bottles for the Little Green and oxygen cleaner -- rather than putting those solutions into the machine's reservoir. To repeat what so many others have said (and thank goodness they did, encouraging me to buy one)... EVERY pet owner should have one of these! Very highly recommended.
great product July 29, 2010

Imagine waking up one morning to find a plate-sized splat of dried vomit on the bedroom carpet, and then finding scattered about the rest of the house multiple small spots stained with vomit or diarrhea. This happened on two consecutive mornings, until a 500-dollar vet visit and treatment calmed Evie's tummy. After a two day hiatus the nightmare repeated with little Piper. There was also the constant of little Bella's occasional carpet muffins.
I finished off a 32-ounce bottle of cleaning solution, a smaller container, and most of the OXY GEN² in five days and usually used only half of the recommended amount of cleaner. Despite my initial skepticism, the SpotBot has proved its value and effectiveness repeatedly. Most stains magically disappeared after one cycle of the wondrous SpotBot. A couple, especially messy spots needed two long cycles. Every single spot eventually succumbed to the little wizard of a cleaner. The SpotBot is the fourth wet carpet-cleaning machine I've owned and is by far the best. My experience with the sick dogs was an irritant, without the SpotBot it would have been a major catastrophe and ordeal.
The turbo brush attachment for manual cleaning is absolutely fabulous. As water/solution is sprayed on the stain, little brushes massage the carpet fibers. The suction mode leaves the carpet damp after extracting most of the liquid. I sometimes follow up a programmed mode with a swipe of the manual brush to suction up additional liquid. The brush is excellent for cleaning larger areas or in corners where the SpotBot can't reach. An alternative is to clean larger areas with overlapping cleanings with the circular SpotBot, a practice that reminds me of the Venn Diagrams from my middle school teaching days.
The clean solution tank holds four cups of liquid. If one follows the guide lines on the clear tank, one would use one cup of water and three combined cups of the soap solution and OXY-GEN. That's putting a lot of cleaner in one's carpet. I don't like the idea of leaving soap residue in the carpet fibers to attract dirt later. With this in mind I use half the recommended amount of cleaner and achieve superb results. When a particularly stubborn stain forces me to increase the amount of cleaner in the solution, I go over the area a second time with clear water. Even after first rinsing the tank thoroughly, soapy water fills the collection tank from the previously cleaned carpet area. It entails some extra time and work, but I recommend following up every cleaning with a rinse of clear water. It extracts soap residue from the carpeting and cleans the SpotBot's plumbing to boot.
The two tanks are extremely easy to remove and reposition on the SpotBot. I'd like to see a flat bottom on the clean water/solution tank so one can rest it on a flat surface while filling it with solution. I try to remember to remove the cleaner's lid before adding water to the tank to avoid cradling it in my arm while unscrewing a container's lid.
Spotty is not excessively noisy, but of average vacuum volume. While going through its cycles, it sounds like a vacuum and washing machine running simultaneously.
The cycle ending beep chimes continuously for half an hour until the stop button is pushed. It can be annoying, but that's a minor complaint.
As someone who's used the SpotBot more times in a week than many will in a year, I highly recommend this carpet-cleaning marvel to anyone with pets, small children, or frequent spillers.
It has far exceeded any and all expectations I had and has been a blessing for our carpet.
Got a puppy? Gotta have a SpotBot.
