Small, Yet Mighty!
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!

Works great and is easy to use
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.

UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC MACHINE
OMIGOSH, my friend and I both ordered this and we are both blown away at how well it cleans. Bissell created a Little Green MAJOR CLEANING MACHINE. I cleaned my bedroom carpet and the hair and dirt that came out was incredible. I hadn’t even been able to see it buried in my carpet. It lifted the pile up very nicely where it wasn’t totally damaged. I WISH I HAD FOUND THIS SOONER. Didn’t know it existed! It’s so easy to use even though cleaning dirty carpeting is the hardest labor of love cleaning job. Tank size did so much––bedroom carpet, 2 chairs, living room rug and a settee bench that was filthy from storage. Quick Drying time because it doesn’t get everything too wet. The attachments that are included are actually so useful. Easy to store the small machine. It doesn’t heat. Just plug it in and use the powerful hydro vacuum to work on stains and regular cleaning. It got out a black stain on my living room rug that I’ve been staring at for 3 years! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Awesome machine but I didn’t get the solution
Over all.. I LOVE IT!! It works great as a hand held carpet cleaner and it leaves the carpet feeling clean and dry after! Which is awesome! Although whats not awesome is that I never received the cleaning solution thats advertised. Hence why I docked a star. But overall this is definitely worth the purchase especially if you happen to get it discounted like i did!!

Tiny, but powerful, gets the job done!
I have owned this for 2 years. I bought it for the sole purpose of cleaning my husband’s recliner. He owns his own concrete company so he comes home covered in dust and is DIIRTTYY! He has a recliner he likes to flop on to watch tv and play video games. Every few months I clean it because it gets so gross! You can see the grime and the difference in the recliner immediately. It is easy to use with the attachments. It is kind of loud, but it’s vacuuming the dirty water out once you spray it on with the cleaning solution. Suction on it is pretty tough. My husband always says his recliner feels so soft and smells good after every clean. I just use a big fan that I have upstairs and place it in front of the recliner for drying. It takes like 4 to 5 hours to dry after cleaning. You do have to make sure you suction out all the water though. Once I’m done cleaning I just hold the hose and let it suction and repeat that process until you don’t see anymore water.

Great little carpet cleaner
We had a stain on the stairs carpet at the bottom from putting our shoes on while sitting on the landing at the bottom of the stairs. The first step was becoming very dirty and the carpet cleaning service we had used for our rugs was out of business. I bought this machine hoping to be able to clean the spot rather than bring in a service or rent a machine meant for larger areas. I don’t have a photo to show because it worked so well. It was easy to set up, the attachment helped deliver the cleaning solution to the carpet, it was dry after a couple of hours. The tank size was perfect for the small area we were treating and it doesn’t require much space to store. My wife was initially skeptical about it doing the job but was amazed at how it was gone after we used it. Since then we started removing our shoes when we come inside and instead of using the step to support our feet while putting on shoes use the hardwood floor. As a result, we haven’t had to use it since. For a lot less than a carpet cleaning machine or service would cost this did the job.

Would Give 10 Stars if I Could – This MACHINE is AWESOME!
The media could not be loaded.
First let me say I don’t normally take time to write reviews but I just had to share my story because I’m still giddy about how well this machine worked.I recently purchased a beautiful cream, designer chair at a furniture consignment shop and the lighting must have been bad in the store because I didn’t notice at all that it was quite dirty. I was just so excited that it was exactly what I had been looking for – color, size, style and price!When I got it home it was perfect in every way EXCEPT the off-white that was so perfect in the fluorescent lighting was a dingy EWWW in the natural light of our living room. I took the armrest covers off and YUCK! I noticed how dirty the arms were and then noticed that I hadn’t looked that closely on the store – there were spots all over the chair!The store doesn’t take returns AND I loved everything about the chair except the grime and spots (how did I not notice those in the store???) so I googled best upholstery cleaner and the BISSELL Little Green Machine showed up as top-rated in multiple blogs so I searched for it on Amazon. It had awesome reviews confirming what the blogs has said so I ordered it.It came super-fast and was easy to set up. I got to work. Well, my sweet husband got to work. My plan was to have him handle the task as he’s usually in charge of the grimy stuff. Love that man. 😊🙏Well I had no idea cleaning upholstery could be so fun! This little machine sucked the grime right out! It was really satisfying to see it get sucked out right before my eyes. Before my husband knew it, he was free to watch his baseball game because I had taken over.When I was finished the cream chair looked like new!And I didn’t stop there.I had a 14-year old blue chair in my home office that had weathered two babies, lots of journaling and phone conversations with my feet tucked up underneath me, latte spills and just…a full life! Our whole family loves mommy’s blue chair as it’s where good conversations and snuggles have happened my kids’ entire lives. When we recently remodeled our home I was looking for a new chair for myself. My whole family protested because they loved it so much. It bummed me out because – well LOOK at the “before” photos of the blue chair I posted. Our whole house was clean and fresh from the much-needed after 17 years in the house remodel. Having to look at that chair, as much as I loved the memories of it, grossed me out.So when I finished the cream chair I thought, I’m going to see what the BISSELL Little Green Machine could do for the blue chair. I figured, worst case scenario it would make it worse and then I’d HAVE to get my new chair. 😀I honestly didn’t think it would make a difference. I had actually had a professional rug + upholstery cleaner look at it and say he couldn’t do anything to make it look better just two months ago during the remodel. So despite seeing the INCREDIBLE results on the cream chair, my expectations were low. Additionally, this was an inexpensive chair with a sueded microfiber fabric – not nearly as well made as the cream chair so I wasn’t sure if the not super-sturdy fabric would withstand the cleaning fluid or brush.I was blown away. As you can see by the Before and After photos – the BISSELL mighty little machine did an amazing job!!! The blue chair is saved and we are ALL excited. Yes, even me. 😃 I just wish I would have taken videos of cleaning the blue chair – the water was SO dirty. GROSS!Again though, it was SO satisfying throughout the process to see the dirt come out and have brand new chairs.This machine is WELL worth the very reasonable price and I also absolutely love being able to restore two chairs rather than buy new ones. Less landfill and consumerism to help the planet. And the pocketbook!!!A little technique scoop (if you’re still reading) – on the cream chair we sprayed the cleaning water from the machine on the area, then sprayed Resolve and let it sit for a minute or two before we sucked up the dirt. The Resolve did make the dirty water in the tank pretty foamy and I’m not sure if it could damage the machine or the chair but when we tried it we were kind of thinking we didn’t have anything to lose as the fabric was so grungy when we got it home to natural light, we would not have kept the chair if the BISSELL didn’t work. The machine seems totally fine and of course the chair is now clean and beautiful!I could not possibly love this little machine more and now I can feel much more confident with all of our new carpet and furniture because if we get a spill or a stain this lightly little green machine will take care of it!I highly recommend the BISSELL Little Green Machine!

Little Green Fighting Machine
OMG I love this little green cleaner. I bought this purposely to clean my outside patio cushions. I ended up cleaning them & everything else. It works so well & easy to use with the attachments that come with it. The size of the tank is perfect, you get to see the level of dirt that is being vacuumed up through the plastic tank & comes with the cleaning solution. The machine it very compact & easy to store. I am very pleased with this purchase.

This machine is a little beast
This has been one of the best cleaning purchases I’ve made. I have a toddler, a baby, a German Shepherd, and an American Bulldog, plus we live in a rainy area, so our furniture gets put to the test. This machine has cleaned literally every fabric I’ve tried it on, from our cloth couch to upholstered furniture, and it keeps everything looking brand new. It’s surprisingly tough on dirt, muddy paw prints, spills, and everyday messes while still being easy to use. The tanks are a good size, it’s easy to carry around the house, and the suction leaves fabrics drying much faster than I expected. I also highly recommend picking up the BISSELL cleaning solutions because they make an even bigger difference in stain removal and leave everything smelling fresh. If you have kids, pets, or just want to keep your furniture looking new, this is absolutely worth it.

Highly recommend it for any household!
It’s a must have! I have been borrowing one from my friend and end up buying my own because I love it so much. I have an expensive velvet couch that is used daily by a large family. We don’t eat on it and try to keep it nice but over time it’s still gets dirty. This vacuum does a great job cleaning it. It’s very satisfying watching it go from dirty to clean! It’s easy to use. It’s light and not huge. It has a good size tank for clean water (enough to clean my couch). I usually wait a day for the couch to dry out completely before letting anyone sit on it…I think it’s a good drying time. The cleaner itself seems like a good quality and it’s easy to clean.
