We used to have a Bissell SpotBot, and used it frequently, due to two young children constantly making messes. However, after the first few uses, we stopped using the automated feature of the SpotBot, because it uses a TON of shampoo, and cleaning up spills and stains with the hand tool took a fraction of the time anyway.
The SpotClean Pro has a more compact footprint than the SpotBot, which is nice for storage. It also has more suction, which seems to do a better job of sucking all of the solution out of the carpet or upholstery, so everything dries faster. This also means that it should suck more of the stains out.
I also much prefer the hose storage of the SpotClean Pro, compared to the SpotBot, which required wrapping the hose around the base of the unit, which inevitably caused tangles with the cord while trying to put it away.
One of my favorite features though is the ability to thoroughly clean the recovery tank. The recovery tank on the SpotBot got NASTY...and there is no way to clean it out, because the only way to get to the inside is through the dump hole in the bottom. On the SpotClean Pro, the whole lid comes off, and there aren't really any nooks or crannies for gunk to hide in. Also, both the solution storage tank and the recovery tanks are MUCH larger than on the SpotBot, so you can get more cleaned with fewer trips to the bathroom to dump and refill.
I do have a couple complaints about this unit though...it's rather heavy to lug around, and it's so loud that I have started wearing ear plugs while cleaning spots to prevent hearing damage. If you can get beyond that though, it gets an A+ for performance.
General comment on carpet shampooing: Carpet shampoo attracts dirt, which causes stains. Use half of the manufacturer's recommended concentration of shampoo and you should notice less recurring stains, with little or no loss of cleaning power. Better yet, do a rinse step after shampooing to remove the shampoo from the carpet.

My video review says it all, but in a nutshell:
* Light-weight, easy to move about the house
* Just add hot water and 2-ounces of the included cleaner
* Really gets the carpet clean -- works as good as the large grocery-store rental units
There are only two minor things I'd add to this product if I could:
* Wheels (though it is not too heavy, wheels would allow you to tackle a bigger stain faster)
* A retractable power cord. However, the cord is long, which is very convenient.
This is the perfect product for pet owners, parents -- and clumsy people like myself. :-)
It would also be ideal for restaurants and stores with carpets for fast clean-ups.
If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments section. Hope this review has helped.

One day while pregnant with our third son and obviously not thinking clearly I purchased a cream colored rocking chair for the living room. All I have to say is thank goodness one day I also purchased this little Bissell spot cleaner. Nothing on this planet is a real match for 3 boys, 4 pets and a husband but this little machine is close. One day it erased all evidence of the dried up bright purple berry yogurt I found on the cream colored ottoman. In my pictures I actually cleaned the dirty side of my cushion first which had soda dumped on it tonight but it was time for a scrub anyway. I've also used this spot cleaner on our old microfiber furniture and what little carpet we have left in the house and I've been pleased with the outcome. The dirty water it sucks out of your carpets and furniture is insane. I would totally buy this again and highly recommend it to friends....a cream chair not so much.

I purchased the Bissell Spot Clean Pro to clean my microfiber upholstery, and also to clean small spots on the carpet. I have two cats, so I need something to clean up their occasional messes. I found the unit easy to use, and easy to clean after use. It took me a little time to figure out the best way to clean without drenching the area, but once I did I found it did the job well. I have cleaned the upholstery before with a spray bottle and Shop-Vac, but the Spot Clean Pro is much easier to use, and it removed the moisture almost as well as the Shop-Vac.
I read some reviews that said the Spot Clean Pro was noisy. I didn't think it was any louder than my vacuum cleaner so I decided to test it. I have a Radio Shack sound lever meter so I did an unscientific measurement of the decibel levels. All measurements were done at 3' from each machine, one reading taken with the machine sitting on carpet, and the other reading on tile flooring. The Spot Clean Pro measured 82 db on carpet and 95 db on tile. My Eureka MightyMite canister vacuum was 81 on carpet and 90 on tile. My 8-gallon wet/dry Shop-Vac was 90 on carpet and 93 on tile. The Spot Clean Pro is a little louder that my vacuum cleaner, but way more convenient than the noisy, bulky Shop-Vac.
Overall I am very pleased with this machine. I found the 22' power cord and 5' flex hose long enough for me to reach everything easily. The only issue I had was that there is only one fill line marked on the clean water tank, and since I only used half the cleaning solution I had to find a place to store the leftover fluid, or throw it away. It would be nice if Bissell had a half-full mark on the clean water tank so you could mix enough solution for small jobs. Since the clean water tank holds 96 ounces, I measured 48 ounces of water and marked a line on my tank to make it easier next time. Other than this one small issue, I like the machine a lot and would highly recommend it to others.

I birthed at home. I had the bed prepared with plastic and old (clean) sheets. I had a birth pool with a tarp under it. We had at least 30 towels. I wound up birthing on the carpet, on a part that wasn't protected by a tarp or a drop cloth or shower curtain or other sheet of plastic. I birthed my baby there, my baby pooped there, and I birthed the placenta there - because I was already there, I didn't want to move. You can imagine the mess. And you'll have to imagine the mess - I didn't think of getting a 'before' picture for this review (I HAD just given birth, ya know). There was quite a mess. So then I went to my bedroom, which is eight feet away from where I gave birth and I rested with my newborn while someone (my husband maybe?) got to work on the carpet. This machine IS loud, BUT with the door closed it sounded like a low hum, even from just eight feet away. When you're actually using it it's pretty loud, but the sound doesn't go through our cheap, hollow doors too much. Anyway, unless you brought a forensic team you wouldn't be able to tell that there was blood and baby poop and whatever else all over the carpet. It's an off-white, cheap carpet and it looks totally clean thanks to this little machine. So if it can handle birth, I'm sure it can handle whatever you're doing to your carpets.
Also, I noticed a lot of reviews skirting around the fact that their pets pee and poop in their houses. They make it sound like their pets are making messes in a variety of ways. Like what, is your dog a messy painter? Is your cat having keggers? No. They're peeing in your house. Just say it. Half of the people reading your review are wanting to know how this machine handles "pet messes" so just tell them. If you get to the pee soon, it sucks the pee up quite nicely. Then you spray it with the cleaning solution, scrub, and suck that up too. No pee smell remains. Your dog have an accident and step in it and track it all through the house? This machine can handle it. Pick up the solids with a bag, turn on all the vents in the house cause damn it stinks, and go around scrubbing up the poopy paw prints. This machine can handle it. The only thing is that you really need to empty the dirty water part frequently or it'll spread an awful smell. BTW, our cat who pees everywhere is being rehomed to my parents.
Oh, and I don't use the Bissell cleaning solution in this. It makes the carpet crunchy. Instead I use whatever I'm in the mood for, warranty be damned. If it breaks I'll just buy another. Sometimes I use vinegar and water, sometimes I use nice-smelling dish soap, sometimes I use essential oils. I mix it up and they all clean just fine.

We have the "football house". It's fun! But after enough coffee, food, beer, and wine stains, the floor is just embarrassing. We were going to replace the carpet but I wanted to try this first. Some of the stains were almost a year old. We used the pretreat spray and then about 1.5 hours with the bissell toy. Even my husband wanted in on the cleaning action. Before and after pics speak for themselves. I'm beyond impressed.

Just got a new house and we managed 8 days without any dog messes. Then one day we woke up to a sick Beagle and poo and vomit everywhere in our newly cleaned carpeted hall. I immediately ordered this little machine but doubted it could fix the carpet. I resigned myself to buying throw rugs.
Got the machine tonight and after about 3 minutes of setting it up I was off and cleaning. I think the pictures really speak for themselves. This machine is a god send.

First off, I think the poor reviews are because the people who bought them didn't know how to use them properly or maybe they were trying to remove paint stains or something more permanent. This is a very powerful carpet cleaner!
We were able to get out red wine stains that were over 6 months old! Dirt stains, pet urine and even "doggie-doo-doo" came out in just a couple of strokes!
The only tip I have to give is, if you are cleaning up pet urine/poop, then it is best to boil some water, pour it in a bowl or in your clean sink and suck it up once you are done using it. This will clean the brush head, the hose and the rest of the cleaning machine.
We are very proud of this investment!

Dogs + mud = disaster. I had already tried cleaning this up myself, and even the Toyota dealership said they couldn't help me. Bissell Spot Clean Pro saved my backseat and my sanity. Check out all that gunk it washed out!

We have white carpet and a new puppy. I was getting tired of the Oxyclean, towels and elbow grease method and didn't want to keep renting a Rug Doctor or shelling out for a pro cleaner every few weeks (let alone living with the stains and smells in between cleanings), so I decided on getting one of these.
I'm really happy with this little workhorse.
I was deciding between this model and the pet specific SpotBot. I chose this one because of its larger tank capacity and multipurpose design (use on stairs and cars). Plus, in case of larger stains, I didn't want to have to move the unit in case it couldn't all fit under the circular cleaning area.
Got this yesterday and used today. The first thing I noticed was the minimal amount of packaging in this box. No styrofoam either, so that's always good. It's already assembled - just snap on one of the brush tools. This came with a 3in and 6in. Pretty much identical attachments except for the width so I thought that was a bit redundant but I suppose the narrow one could come in handy for tighter spaces, wherever those might be.
This came with a small bottle (8oz) of Deep Cleaning solution but I had also purchased the Pet Stain & Odor solution and used that instead. Filling up the tank was super easy. Just unscrew the cap and fill to the line with hot water (heat helps with cleaning) and add a capful of solution. I like that the tank has a flat side to sit on while you fill it. Then screw the cap back on, place back in unit, plug it in, press the only button that's on there and you're ready to go.
At first I didn't think the spray trigger was working, but that's because it's a pretty fine mist and I was working with white carpet. I sprayed (1in above carpet like instructed), counted to 10 (thought I should give it some time) and then vacuumed. I was delighted to see the solution being sucked back and the carpet getting cleaner. Do not expect an instant squeegee-like result - you'll have to take a couple passes spraying and vacuuming. I experimented with going up and down, then in diagonals. I pressed down quite a bit to make sure all the liquid had been sucked up so that got a bit tiring but the results are worth it. The carpet looks really great and the scent from the Pet solution is nice but slight, which I like.
Cleaning up was a breeze too. Pull out the dirty tank, swing the lever/handle down, take off the top and pour it out. Rinse out both tanks and take off the attachment to rinse that too. The hose dripped a bit, as did the clean tank when I took it out from the unit but I'm ok with that. The hose and the power cord wrap up nicely and lock into place.
This unit is compact, relatively light and quiet (come on, it's a vacuum), super easy to use and works well.
