Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone else is having issues with their Bissell Spot Bots? I have had 2, and both do a very nice job of removing spots, however, I have had issues with each of them, and Bissell does nothing to help resolve the issue but tell me to take them in for repair, which I have done twice before, and neither time was the issue resolved. The problems are:
The vent or whatever the opening on the side is for has water leak out of it. When I bought my original spot bot it developed this problem after a while, so I took it in, not once but twice, and both times, the shops told me there was nothing wrong with it. I eventually replaced this spot bot, because I was tired of it leaking, and creating puddles of water wherever I set it when not in use, or carrying it from room to room and having it leak water all over.
The next spot bot I purchased was the same model basically, except it was a different color, and has the microban treatment to prevent bacteria from growing inside the machine. It also had the leaking issue, but since Bissell told me to take it in for repair, and I know how that goes, I have just grown to live with it. However, over the last few weeks, it has developed another issue. When I grab it by the carrying handle on the top of the unit, you can feel something shifting. Upon further examination, I found that the top, which has the tanks, handle, and controls, is lifting away from the bottom, which has the vents and the brush, creating a 1 inch or so gap that allows you to see the wires, pump, motor etc. I have never dropped the machine, so I can't figure out why its doing this, other than cheap assembly. I called Bissell, and yet again, they want me to take it in for repair. When people tend to say stuff like "My time is to valuable to waste" etc, I tend to roll my eyes, as its like get over yourself. But in this case, I feel my time is to valuable to waste. Between this one and the old one, I would have to drive to the repair center yet again, drop it off, be without it for a week or so, then drive back to pick it up, only to find they didn't fix it. (Which, you my be thinking, how hard is it to see that there is a 1 inch gap, but my responce would be how hard is it to see water leaking out the side of the machine, which they constantly tell me there is nothing wrong with.)
So my question is, should I just replace the spot bot with their newest model, get the current one fixed, or just find a different option, like a spot scrubber from someone else?
