I have a model 1425-1 that has started leaking and has lost a lot of suction. What can I check to correct this? It's worked great up to this point.

I did just buy this product today, but I came home and immediately put it to work! My children have managed to get some spots on the carpet that I couldn't get out no matter what I tried and didn't want to drag out the big machine for a few spots! Anyways, this machine put my expectations to shame! The stains are gone, the water was filthy, and my carpets look and smell good! Couldn't be happier!
I love the green machine but it all of a sudden stop spraying the water through the hose when I push the button. How can I fix this problem or should I get a new one ?

Great machine for those in-between messes that require a carpet cleaner. This is actually my second unit - the first went 7 years before quitting. I was excited to find the newest model hadn't changed from my old machine and was able to keep the attachments/tanks as spare. I do agree that it is hard to clean out scuzzy water from the collection tank, but better in the tank then on the floor:).

We have been using one version or another since they 1st came out. 3 cats kept them busy. Every one of them suffers from the same problem; see review below. "Love Hate Relationship with Little Green August 14, 2013 I want to say I love the way the Little Green cleans our pet messes. I also want to add there should be a way that you could take the 3" scrubber attachment apart to clean as well at the dirty water tank.(that is the part I hate) REALLY? You expect people to use dirty smelly attachments and tanks? Please help with a solution to this problem." I wouldn't be without one of these machines even if I didn't have pets. The advanced features on the higher priced models do not enhance their performance. They all soak, brush, and suck. That is their job.

Thank you for your review. To clean the tools and upholstery hose; just take a bowl of tap water and suction the water back into the tank to push the debris through. It's fine to soak the tanks in hot water and a bit of BISSELL formula.

Thank you for your review. To clean the tools and upholstery hose the best way is to take a bowl of tap water. Suction the water back up to push the dirt through. You may have to do this a few times until clean water comes back in the tank. For the collection tank; we recommend soaking with hot tap water, and a little of the BISSELL formula to loosen the dirt.
For me the Green Machine is good. True it's a little hard to hand clean but it's perfect for me. Have used about 3times now at about 2 hrs. each time and it's better than trying to use a rag and cleaner as I have a pet.
