Key Features

1. Hands-Free Cleaning: The SpotBot operates autonomously, allowing you to place it on a stain and let it do the work. This feature is especially useful for busy households.

2. Deep Clean Technology: It employs a combination of suction, brushing, and cleaning solution to penetrate deep into carpets, effectively removing dirt and stains.

Users generally report positive results with the SpotBot, especially when dealing with pet stains. The automated cleaning feature is praised for its effectiveness and convenience. Many find that it removes stains better than expected, with notable results on both fresh and set-in stains.

Ease of Use

Setting up the SpotBot is straightforward. You fill the tank with water and cleaning solution, choose a mode, and let it work. The compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight spaces. However, the hose attachment for spot cleaning can be less intuitive for some users.

Drawbacks

While the SpotBot is effective, it’s not perfect. Some users find that it doesn’t completely eliminate tougher stains or odors on the first pass. Additionally, the cord length can be limiting in larger rooms.
