TypeCorded, heated-water portable spot cleaner with steam
Tank Size60 oz clean water + 40 oz dirty water
Suction & Extraction18,000 PA (18 kPa)

The Starrybot Portable Carpet Cleaner is a corded, heated-water spot cleaner with 18 kPa suction power and multiple cleaning modes (cold water, warm water, steam, and sanitization). It features a 60 oz clean water tank and 40 oz dirty water tank, paired with versatile brush tools: a 3" hand tool for stubborn stains, a 5" wide brush for larger areas, and a crevice tool for tight spaces. A 6.5 ft hose provides decent reach. At 13.42 lbs, it's lightweight and portable—designed for carpets, rugs, upholstery, car interiors, and stairs. The brand is emerging and has limited community footprint, though the feature set (steam + heating) competes with established brands at a lower entry price (~$100 on sale). Best suited for budget-conscious owners seeking versatile spot-cleaning with thermal sanitization, but lacks the review volume and brand trust of category leaders like Bissell Little Green.
