I was having the same problem with mine leaking dirty water all over the floor and, determined not to let the thing beat me, I fought with it. I found that the black gasket that is supposed to be at the junction between the collection tank and the machine was stuffed up inside the tube and was therefore simultaneously preventing proper suction and preventing dirty water from getting into the tank. I pulled out the gasket and put it back in its proper place and Presto! It is perfect again. Just thought I would post this in case someone else was having the same problem. It was easily fixed for me once I realized what was wrong.

My machine has been well-used for an elderly dog and then a puppy, but I have only had it about two years. It started developing leaks, and then I noticed that the dirty water container was not filling up. It seemed that all the dirty water was collecting in the bottom and leaking out on the ground. I have been limping along with it like that, but last time, it was a mess. I know I need a new one since yesterday, we had another vomit experience and my son just had a bloody nose all over the carpet. Gotta love the SpotBot!

I have had mine for a year with no problems . love my machine. Have you contacted Amazon. If you have only had your machine for a short time you may be able to get a new one . so contact Amazon

As with other posters, we've never had an issue with ours leaking and have been using it for many years. Sounds like a defect, or like it may have been cracked by dropping/dishwasher/etc.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

Sorry to hear about the leak! It could be caused by dirty debris wrapped around the brushes or underneath the unit. Try cleaning the bottom and if you are still having issue please contact us so we can help. http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

to what product are you running thru it? I have never run into that problem! I do know in every system when something runs thru it, it does need some cleaning of the lines depending on how much you use it and what product you use. It is a good system but it is still a machine. I would research from the manufacturer. I know I didn't really help but I hope your research helps.

I have not had that problem. As someone who has owned a few machines I would advise to have a professional look at it. These machines, even if not used often, require cleaning and oiling regularly. That may be your problem. Good luck to you.

I have had mine a few months... do not use it as much as I would like but have had no problems with leakage. Hopefully it will last a good, long time, but I have not had mine long enough to know.

I didn't have that problem, and I dropped mine plenty of times. There were other issues with leaking, but not that. I did try to contact them to ask about issues, and I couldn't find a contact number or email address, so you're on your own with it unless you can find a way to contact them.

Mine did that too, at first. I found I did not have it seated properly. Once I had it fitted correctly it never leaked again.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

No it should not leak at all. I would try to re rap the fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope again to see if that stops it. If you can tell it is coming from the regulator I would send ot back for a replacement.

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

It is faulty, I have had several of these and once in a while you get one like this...sorry but they are cheap. The one I have now flows great too, like most do. It must be something to do with manufacture process...FYI

Mine is leaking the coffee from bottom when brewing. I can foresee more leaking problems in near future. I only had it for a few weeks too.
