Bissell 1200A Reviews:
“As an aside, and as a comment to another review: This unit wasn’t built or designed to clean an ENTIRE area rug, or, of course, anything larger. That’s the purvey of large steam cleaners. It’s called “SpotBot” for a reason. And it executes perfectly. ” – User Review
“I used the carpet cleaner to pick up a full glass of coffee spilt on the carpet, expecting it the machine not to get it completely out. But to my suprise it wiped out the spill without any problems. Awesome carpet cleaner.” – User Review
