Bissell to Intro Handsfree Carpet Cleaner

Grand Rapids, MI, August 23—-Bissell Homecare, Inc. today announced it will introduce the world’s first "handsfree" compact deep cleaner this September, giving users the freedom to walk away while cleaning. "The SpotBot is a dream come true for time-starved multi-taskers seeking to remove spots without the hassle of having to baby-sit the process," said Jim Krzeminski, Bissell's executive vice president of product development, sales and marketing. "With the SpotBot, users simply set the cleaner on the spot or stain, hit start and walk away, leaving the SpotBot to do all the work." The SpotBot handsfree compact deep cleaner utilizes revolutionary Spiral Brushing action that safely and effectively brushes, sprays, and permanently removes stains such as red wine, cola, fruit juice and coffee when using Bissell formulas. The automatic Smart System has pre-programmed cycles for surface or set-in stains that eliminate the guess work when removing a stain. The SpotBot has two specially programmed cycles that measure and distribute just the right amount of water and cleaning formula and suction up tough stains to leave carpets clean. Industry insiders seeing the SpotBot for the first time may recognize that it physically favors another tried-and-true model in the Bissell line, the Little Green Machine. And for the millions of satisfied Bissell Little Green owners who recognize the benefits of having a compact deep cleaner with a hose, the Bissell SpotBot offers this favorite feature plus an on-board tool for versatile cleaning of stairs, automobiles and upholstery. The SpotBot is scheduled to hit the floor care cleaning isle of mass retailers nationwide in late September. Suggested retail price is $129.99.
