Spring Has Sprung – Bissell SpotBot Review and Giveaway.

MUD!

Spring has sprung around here and that means mud! With my two kids (my husband) and a dog my white carpets didn’t stand a chance this time of year, or any time for that matter. About two years ago that changed. I found a wonderful solution for not only muddy foot prints but pet stains, vomit, spilled juice and any other kind of spill, splatter or mess that gets on our carpet.  It’s called a Bissell SpotBot Pet Deep Cleaner. This little machine has been a life saver. It’s tiny so it stores well in our hall closet and it’s super easy to use.

There are two ways of using the machine either in manual mode or hands free automatic. In manual mode you use the vacuum hose and scrub brush, this method is good for larger messes but where this thing really shines, especially in a busy household, is with it’s automatic hands free cleaning function. You simply put the SpotBot over the stain and hit a button and the unit does the rest. Its scrubs and vacuums and scrubs and the spill is gone in 3 minutes. Leaving you free to do something else while it cleans away.

The SpotBot really is a must have for any household with or with out pets or kids. That’s why I’ve partnered with Bissell to give one lucky reader a Bissell SpotBot Pet Deep Cleaner!

  40. I would love to own a Bissell Spot Bot because I just got my carpet professionally cleaned, and I am constantly worried about it getting dirty again!! This would help with those spots that show up out of nowhere that I get angry about =D

  41. I would LOVE this because I am still trying to train my boxer not to “potty” inside when I go to work but…..I am still having to clean up wet areas—paper towels and spray cleaner just is not enough

  42. I would love to own a SpotBot to take care of the small stains without having to bring out the big carpet cleaner. It’s so much trouble that I end up not doing it until the carpet is really in need of a major cleaning.

  43. I would love one because with kids, pets, and living in the Pacific Northwest, my carpets take a beating. We used to have the little green clean machine years and years ago and it worked great until we had a fire. Have always wanted to replace but have never gotten around to it.

  44. I can’t afford to buy new carpet now. Therefore, I REALLY need a good machine such as this to clean this old carpet i have,

  45. My husband is a farmer and you don’t even want to know about some of the stuff he drags in. Add to that a housecat that I swear is bulimic, a crazy grand-dog who comes to visit, plus carpet we bought to “match” the cat and the dog (light colored)…and I could sure use this.

  46. I would love to win this because I now have 4 kitties and 2 pups…. all rescues!! I just can’t say no to an animal in need, but the puppies muddy paws take a toll on my beige carpets!!

  47. I follow you ( @harmonicmama) on twitter as @nikalann28

  56. Four cats’ worth of “used food,” and two kids’ worth of juice, marker, mud, jelly, Play Doh.

    I don’t need just one, I need six.

  57. I totally need this to clean up the spots that remain when my husband doesn’t wipe his feet after coming in out of the rain! 🙂

  58. I need a Bissell because hubby doesn’t notice when he spills things (but otherwise, he’s a great guy, so I’m not complaining!).

  59. I shared this page on Facebook using your share button (although it still says 0 above it?). my Facebook ID is Deborah Rosen.

  60. I would like to win this because my sister has an older model and i just love the way it works, they are great and i need one.

  64. I would love to win the Bissell SpotBot so it would be easier for my husband to take care of the spills that happen around our house. Thanks.

  65. I would love to own a Bissell SpotBot because we have 4 cats and 2 dogs. There’s always a stain to clean up around here.

  66. I would love to own one because pet accidents are hard to clean out. This might make an accident easier to fully clean up.

  67. I need a bissell because my sisters kids spill everything possible on the floor.

  69. Our dogs bring in more gross things than the kids. A month ago it was a dead bird. Last week it was an owl pellet. So gross! And it all got on the carpet and still doesn’t look clean. So this would be awesome to win!

  70. I would love to won this to help clean up my rugs after my 3 children, dog and cat who don’t know how to wipe their feet when they enter my house! calvad at aol dot com

  71. I would love to win because between pets and kids, our carpet could use a little TLC.

  72. with the spring thaw there’s mud everywhere all the time

  73. Would love to have this little cleaner. Just moved from an all hardwood house to an (almost) all carpet home with three cats and two kids. The eldest cat has some digestion issues – need I say more? Just cleaned up a mess this morning, and know there will be more to come! My efforts this morning didn’t really cut it – there is still a stain on the new carpet – super frustrating! Really would appreciate this little unit for immediate clean up of these spots. The product reviews are exceptional! It would seem to be a great solution to help keep our new (to us), lovely carpeted home lovely!

    Thanks for entering me, and for hosting such a great contest!

  74. I would love a SpotBot because I have my clumsy days here and there–and they always seem to happen when I’m eating something with red sauce or drinking red wine… or… you get the picture! My poor carpet. Even though it’s darker than the standard beige, it would be great to have a handy little machine to do the cleaning, rather than my muscle power and a bottle of Woolite. LOL. 🙂

  75. I want to win because our cat barfs everywhere, and occasionally will drag his butt across our carpet for fun. We need this!

  76. Horse Ranch… rain, snow… mud, messes, hay, 7 horses, 2 dogs, 8 puppies, 13 cats, 3 kids and 1 me…. need I say more 🙁

  77. Well, I have three cats – that says it all! thanks for hosting!

  78. I would love to own one because I have three boys under 6 and very light carpet in our new house. It is a constant battle to keep it stain free.

  79. Ok well, I have 4 kids under 7, and 2 cats, and a dog… Plus a husband who works in construction! 🙂 That’s why I want a spot bot!!

  80. I’m a fan of Harmonic Mama on fb too. Jennifer Harriman

  81. I need the spot bot
    I have tons of puppies running in and out all day long
    willdebbie97 at yahoo dot com

  82. I need one of these bad! I have two Shit-zus and for some reason they have accidents more than they should and this would save my back and knees.

  83. I would love to own a Bissell SpotBot because I have both a cat and a dog….need I say more? 🙂 Thank you.

  84. I need a spot bot for my Australian Shepherd. She doesn’t see a problem with being in the creek and then jumping over the porch and into the house.

    Also, we doggie-sit a Golden Retriever and a Golden Doodle. Neither understand that from Creek to Porch should be a pause before coming inside.

    This win would be FABULOUS!

  85. I would like to win this because I am always cleaning up hairballs from my cats off of the carpet.

  86. I would love to win this! I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a 9 year old! It definitely won’t just sit in a closet with me lol.

  89. I would love to win because I have 4 kids, 2 dogs, and a Do-It-Yourself Husband, all which translates to mud, dirt, spills, and mystery stains on my floors.

  90. It sounds like this could really handle some big messes…I’d love to try it out.

  91. My son plays sports and is always tracking in mud and I also have an older cat that sometimes makes messes so this would really come in handy in our house! Thanks!

  92. This Would be great for all stains that i get on my carpet !!!!!!!!

  93. I have a husband and three kids in the house, that means there is always something to be cleaned, and sometimes a straight up vacuuming is just not enough to get the job done. That’s why I would like to win.

  94. I would love to own a Bissell Spotbot because:
    1. We have replaced most of the carpet in the house, but we still have a couple of rooms plus some area rugs.
    2. We have 9 cats.
    3. Said cats throw up a lot.

  95. With our first and only litter of border collies, this would be a lifesaver!

  96. would love to own a Bissell SpotBot for my pet messes

  97. I live with two men, two dogs and one cat in a little apartment. I think that is all that needs to be said about why I want to win this!

  98. With 3 young kids, messes happen all the time! I’d love something easy like the Bissell to help me clean up! 🙂

  99. I would love one of these as I have 2 dogs (not to mention the 5 kids that are just as dirty!) and when they want to yak up something I can only hope they’d run for the hardwood floors but nooooooo they do it on the carpet. I just spent $30 for a carpet cleaner rental to get 2 spots out of the carpet. Yeah, fun.

  100. Oh why, Oh why you ask do I need this wonderful Bissell Spot Machine?
    The first two reasons, I scream out loud and clear….my sons- Andrew and Michael, wipe your shoes your tracking mud all through the house!
    Least I forget the 4 rescue pets meow, meow, meow and bark…
    But the worst culprit of all is the man i’m married to, as he leaves a trail from room to room.

  102. I’d love to own this because I have so so many spots and stains on this rug that need tended to, was going to rent a machine but if we had this it should do the trick. emmaspeel(at)gmail.com

  103. I have five pets (four cats and a dog), and consequently my home is often a mess! I’d love to own a SpotBot to hit those places where someone just *has* to yack, or worse.

  104. i would love to own a bissell spot bot because our house gets a lot of traffic and it’s hard to keep the carpet clean!

  105. I would love to have this because I have pets and this sounds just like what I need!
