Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright vs Bissell Spotbot Pet Deep Cleaner

There are no switches, removable attachments or different cleaning modes, making it simple and easy to understand even without prior experience.

This is one of the lightest carpet cleaners in the market. Weighing only 16 pounds, it even the elderly won’t have any problems moving this unit around.

The machine has 4 rows of power brushes that form a wavy pattern to deep clean your carpets. The intersecting movement of the stiff bristles scrubs dirt more efficiently than just sucking it up or washing with water. Bissell uses this same system for its more premium models. Keep in mind though that the motor isn’t as strong as the expensive ones so it can’t handle old and stubborn stains.

You don’t have to necessarily use the unit in automatic mode only. It can be used to manually remove stains as well. It has an extendable hose and a tool included that helps clean upholstery or car interiors.

This machine forces cleaning solution deep into the carpet, where the spiral brush, together with the suction power, removes dirt and stains from the bottom up. For both automatic and manual operation, the Spotbot sprays and suction-dries in a single step. The soft brushes will not damage carpeting.

A standout feature of this carpet cleaner is the Automated Smart System for hands-free cleaning. Just fill up the machine with the cleaning solution, place it on the stain and it will do the rest. The cleaner has two motorized brush settings, one for newer, surface stains and a second for older, deeper stains. It will automatically apply the necessary amount of detergent to get the stain out. Once finished, the unit will give an alert.
