BissellLittle Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, Car and Auto Detailer, with Exclusive Specialty Tools, Green, 1400B

I wanted to wait to write a review until I had tested the Little Green on multiple types of stains on various fabrics/carpets, and it has not disappointed. So far, I've had 100% success cleaning up cat vomit, dog bile, and mud. These stains were cleaned off a wool throw rug, nylon/polyester blend carpet, and polyester upholstery, respectively. I used the provided Bissel Spot & Stain Febreeze solution and didn't find it to have an overwhelming scent.Pros:- It works which is the biggest thing for me! Plus, a couple of these stains, like the cat vomit one on the living room wool rug, had been there for months and nothing I tried would get it out.- The machine is relatively light to carry around and is compact to stow away when finished.- I liked that the electrical cord was very long which made it easy to use in rooms with only a few outlets.- Any animal lover will know that no matter how much vacuuming you do, there's always going to be some stray hairs left behind. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Little Green has yet to get clogged while I've been cleaning. I always wash the pieces after each use, but it seems like my Lab's hair could clog anything. But, not Little Green!Cons:- I wish I could remove the hose completely to clean it, but the parts that can be removed to clean are easy to do so.- When you load up the water-solution mixture into its tub and turn it upside down to install it into the machine, it does leak a little bit. Once it's in the machine, it doesn't continue leaking but it did catch me off guard the first time I used it thinking I did something wrong.- I wish the instructions told me how best to use each of the attachments. It tells you how to install them, but I had to search online for more guidance on appropriate usage.Overall, the cons are very small things compared to the pros. Especially if you have animals (or children), I would highly recommend this little guy. I've been telling family and friends about it ever since I got mine!

This product works great! The suction is strong and it really lifts up stains. I’ve used it on spills on the couch and even when my cat has accidents, it cleans everything up really well. It’s easy to use, very effective, and makes cleaning so much easier.

Great little spot and stain cleaner, 5 stars. I also like that Bissell helps support homeless pets.I have an upright room carpet shampooer for general carpet cleaning, but it is heavy, more difficult to empty, and doesn't do as good a job on heavy spots and stains as the Little Green does. After getting up any solids and excess with paper towels, this lets you scrub the problem area as needed and control how much solution you use on it with the hand held tool. Then use several extra passes to suction it almost dry. Much more convenient and easier to use on small areas than a big shampooer, unless you want to do a whole room or large area of course. It's also good for cleaning upholstery. While advertised for pets, it's just as helpful for kids' accidents as well as for spills and such on carpet or upholstery.The suction slot is across the very front edge of the attachment, so you can spray, scrub with the bristles, and/or suction separately or at the same time, depending on the angle you hold it and whether you press the spray trigger. This thing is simple to use and wonderful!The tanks are easy to remove. it's very easy to fill using the solution and water lines printed on the tank and to empty the dirty water tank into a toilet and rinse it out. Also rinse off the rubber gasket on the bottom of the dirty water tank. It even has an attachment to easily clean its own hose and internal parts. The scrubbing attachment swished clean in water. It also includes a spray crevice tool but I haven't used that one.A small bottle of the special cleaning solution for portable machines is included. The oxy formula came with mine instead of the kind shown. I also ordered a larger bottle of the pro oxy solution at the same time to have on hand. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to attach a bracket with one included screw; not sure why that isn't done at the factory. I had to use a little pressure to screw it in but no big deal. There is one little hose clip that easily snaps on. (The machine would still work the same without those, but they help store the hose neatly.) Also the tube (like a little drinking straw) had fallen inside the clean water tank but I just slipped it back on once I figured out where it attached to part of the cap. It does need that piece to work, so check that it's attached.There is a newer boxy model that is black that was on sale for the same $99 price and also gets good reviews, but I had already ordered this green one, which is actually cuter, LOL. I wish I had bought this years ago. It's a very useful portable cleaner especially if you have kids, pets, or are clumsy.

Having good suction to remove the moisture is more important than something to agitate the carpet, at least in my opinion. This applies to wet messes as well as solids too, you can pick up the solids with a napkin/paper towel then tackle the rest like a wet mess.So you could use a shop vac but this is a lot more convenient and doesn't have garage cobwebs and dirt on it (it's inside friendly).So this is a nice solution. It has a long cord, is small enough to store indoors. Is light enough to manage around stairs (why do the pups always pee on the stairs??) and, importantly has good suction to lift up a lot of the moisture.The dirty water tank is very easy to dump out and the parts come apart easily to rinse off and dry.Very easy and effective. I recommend this over the large rug cleaners since its quick and easy to use, so you can get the mess cleaned up before it has time to stain and dry.The reason for 4 stars, instead of 5 is the main tool has a design that traps some fur/carpet fibers making cleaning more difficult. It should have a removable plastic cover, but it seems that it's permanently attached. Otherwise, its really handy and a "must have" for dog owners.
