The Bissell SpotBot Pet might actually be a dog or cat owner's best friend. Puppy training "accidents," spit-up hairballs, the occasional half-eaten chicken carcass: with pets in the house, cleaning challenges come with the territory. Some of the worst mishaps happen when there's no one around, creating set-in stains that resist the most stubborn scrubbing with a sponge or rag. This pet-friendly compact deep cleaner does all its work hands free, meaning users can fold laundry, wash dishes, even walk the carcass-scatterer while the mess gets cleaned up. To use, clear away excess debris and place the cleaner over the spot. Once engaged, the SpotBot Pet's unique Automatic Smart System measures just the right amount of cleaner and water and sprays it onto the cleaning area. Next, the machine's spiral brushing action scrubs away spots and odors, while its heavy-duty suction draws up both water and stains. Users can choose one of one of two pre-programmed settings, a three-minute cycle for fresh or surface dirt or longer for set-in stains. A beep announces when the cycle is finished, and the pause/resume function puts the cleaning process on hold if need be. The SpotBot Pet can also be used in manual mode on upholstery, stairs, or car interiors, using a vacuum flex hose and three-inch Tough Stain Brush. Also included are 8 ounces of Bissell's specially formulated pet odor and spot remover, as well as a 16-ounce bottle of Oxy Gen2, a multi-purpose oxygen booster for tough stains like red wine, coffee, and fruit juice. Equipped with a 32-ounce cleaning tank and 16-inch power cord, the SpotBot Pet measures a compact 9-1/2 by 20 by 14 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty.
