The Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber is a handheld appliance designed to assist in the removal of stains and spills from carpets, floors and upholstery. The device's features include a 1.5 Amp motor, a four-inch wide nozzle and a rotating power brush. The Spot Scrubber functions by spreading a cleaning solution over a target area. Once the solution has had time to work on a spot or stain, the liquid is pulled up into a reservoir attached to the bottom of the device.
