I am the SpotBot Master!

BISSELL SpotBot

 

Yesterday I bought my wife one of these as an early Valentines Day present (aren’t I just the romantic one?). Well guess who’s been the SpotBot Dude all day? Yep, you’re looking at him…

My wife’s actually pretty happy about the whole thing. Not only does she get a toy/appliance/thing that she wanted but someone to operator it for her too! What a deal…

Actually it’s pretty darn cool. It doesn’t move around or anything like a roomba (that would be really cool), but it sure is easier to use than manually scrubbing with a spot lifter/deep cleaner. Fill it, put it on the spot, tell it to clean and 4–6 minutes later (depending on the type of cleaning you tell it to do) it’s done. Then you move it to the next spot.

It’s a very well thought-out design. The clean and dirty water reservoirs are matched in real world size (the dirty water is a littler bigger to make room for the crud you pick up and the foam, etc). So when you have to empty one, you know to fill the other. And the size is related to the two clean modes. So you get two Deep cleanings per reservoir filling or four Surface cleanings.

So now I’m hunting down and killing all the spots from all over our carpet (I’m even looking under the coffee table, LOL). But damn it, I’m about out of cleaning formula… Time to go to the store.

I really think I need a life…
