Machine is a nice size, but I've never used it since the assembly directions are incomplete. I'm using the 1400-7 Little Green machine and I'm dissapointed that the engineering (or marketing?) department did not include instructions showing where the black rubber piece fits in the dirty water collection tank. I'm very irritated because I want to use this but I don't want it to leak....would you please post a better diagram of where all the parts fit together? I can't tell which way to insert the rubber piece. thanks.

The tall "duck bill" side of the gasket should be inserted into the opening on the outer, rounded side of the tank. The short side of the gasket should be open to the flat side of the tank.
When inserted properly the gasket should be flush with the bottom of the tank with the tall "duck bill" side going into the larger area of the tank. We redesigned the gasket with a notch in it to clearly fit on the tank because of the issue you are having with reinserting it.
If you need a new tank and gasket you can get one at this link: http://www.bissell.com/parts/?id=9143&sc=product&productid=2854&icid=ccrr
I purchased this product for the purpose of cleaning one rug in my daughter's bedroom and the interior of my car. I cleaned the rug in her room and it looked great. However, I could not even get the Little Green unit to REACH my vehicle. I have two power outlets that I utilize for outdoors, and both are well over 15 feet away from accessing my vehicle. It would not be a problem except that you can't use an extension cord with the Little Green. I researched the Proheat Autocare but it only has a 15 foot cord as well. I would highly recommend that Bissell consider increasing the legnth of the cord to at least 25-30 feet or figure out a way to make the product safe to use with an extension cord. I am extremely disappointed and will be returning it to the store where I purchased it.

That is correct Jillmtc. You can read all precautions for this unit on page 3 of the user's guide. Here is a link to it: http://www.bissell.com/downloadfile.aspx?id=529&icid=ccrr
Having 2 Chihuahuas that go everywhere, I didn't want to drag out the upright carpet shampooer just to clean a few inches of carpet. The little green machine is perfect in this capacity. It's very compact, stores easily, has very good capacity and does a great job spot cleaning the carpet. It also works very well on upholstery. Just don't expect miracles. It's meant for spot cleaning. For the big jobs, use a full sized unit. When used as intended, this little cleaner will prove to be invaluable.
I think this a great machine but had to keep a towel under it to soak up the cleaning solution that would leak out of it. Found the problem in the cleaning solution tank where the straw is pushed into the cap assembly. The area that the straw gets pushed into was cracked. Seems like a bad design if a rubbery straw can put enough pressure on it to crack it. Had to order a new cap assembly and seems to be ok now. We'll see how long this one lasts.
Loved mine so much I ordered one for a wedding gift.

I love my "Little Green" so much I ordered one for my Niece as a wedding gift. It has been such a life saver for me with two dogs and four cats, that I knew she will be in need of one in her new home with a cat, a dog and two new step-children.
I was amazed at what this little machine can do. We had a cola spill in our home office on a light tan carpet. This little wonder made very short work of cleaning up the mess.
I bought a LGM thinking it would be helpful for small cleaning jobs on furniture, in the car, etc. The spray/scrubbing nozzle is designed so poorly that the cleaning solution sprays side to side and is virtually impossible to direct where you want and need it. I took the machine outside to the driveway to measure the spread of the solution spray and it was 3 feet left and 3 feet right with a large gap in the middle. I gave the stupid thing away.

Sorry about your first use with the Little Green. The 3" Tough Stain tool shouldn't do that and we could have replaced the tool for you. The Deep Reach Pet tool does spray sideways as it is mean't to be brushed into the carpet and then pressing the trigger to release the formula deep into the carpet.
