This compact and versatile cleaner boasts a range of features, technologies, and characteristics that make it an essential tool for maintaining a clean home, especially in households with pets.

One of the standout features of the Bissell 1697 is its hands-free cleaning capability. The SpotBot is equipped with an automatic cleaning cycle that allows users to set it on a stain and let it do the work. With two preset cleaning cycles, users can choose between a 3-minute or a 6-minute cleaning option, depending on the severity of the stain. This is particularly beneficial for busy pet owners who may not have the time to clean manually.

The SpotBot uses Bissell’s patented Deep Reach Technology, which ensures that the cleaning solution penetrates deep into the carpet fibers. This technology effectively lifts and removes pet stains and odors, leaving surfaces fresh and clean. The combination of a powerful suction motor and specially-designed brushes enhances the cleaning performance, making it a formidable opponent to stubborn pet messes.

Equipped with a built-in clean tank and an easy-to-empty dirty tank, the Bissell 1697 simplifies the cleaning process. The clean tank holds the formula, while the dirty tank collects the extracted dirt and grime. This separation allows for efficient and hassle-free cleaning, so users can easily maintain the machine.

The SpotBot features a unique spiral brushing action that provides an effective scrub while being gentle on fabrics. This design prevents damage to carpets and upholstery, making it safe for a variety of surfaces. The lightweight design ensures portability, allowing users to easily carry the Bissell 1697 from room to room or even up and down stairs.

Additionally, the Bissell SpotBot Pet comes with a variety of cleaning solutions specifically formulated for pet owners, including the Pet Stain & Odor formula. These solutions work hand-in-hand with the machine to ensure a thorough clean while neutralizing any stubborn odors that may linger after a mess is removed.
