Customer Reviews for BISSELL - Little Green Mini Portable Carpet Cleaner - Tea

The Little Green Mini is a beast. Good things really do come in small packages! Easy and efficient great little carpet cleaner. I have a dog and I’m kind of a slob so this is perfect for those spots and spills. The BISSELL cleaning solution is both gentle and powerful. I’ve even used it on my Oreintal Rug.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looked great “in use” on the internet. I put the machine together and used for 1st time… water came pouring out heavily and now I have additional streaks from solution that wasn’t rinses away. Along with original stains.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from BISSELL HomecareBy Janelle McFarlane, BISSELL Consumer Care, August 11, 2025
Thanks for your review, Dar—we’re sorry to hear about the leaking and streaking during your first use. That’s definitely not the experience we want you to have. It sounds like the clean water tank may not have been seated properly, or the solution may have been over-applied. Try running a rinse pass with just water to help lift any leftover formula. If the leaking continues, please reach out at support.bissell.com and we’ll help get your machine working as it should.

Worked great at first, leaks all over now

I purchased this product last year and use it sparingly for pet messes. It now leaks all over the place. Product is good for cleaning but not so good for longevity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear your Little Green® Mini is leaking—that’s definitely not how it should perform, even with light use. Sometimes a loose tank or worn gasket can cause this, and we’d love to help troubleshoot or explore replacement options. Please reach out to us at https://support.bissell.com so we can make this right.

Cute but wimpy

Poor engineering to achieve cute design. They must have designed the look and then told the engineers to make it work, but it didn’t go well. Unlike our full size Bissell upright pet carpet cleaner that is as strong as something you would rent, this is weak. The upright is designed so you turn the solution bottle upside down and it stands while you fill it, but this one’s reservoir doesn’t have a flat so you have to hold it while filling, and boy is that annoying if you have not uncapped the cleaning solution before you fill the reservoir with water. This one has its vacuum outlet underneath so you can’t set it down or the vacuum fan can’t work properly. You can feel the vacuum get stronger when you pick it up. And God forbid you tip it over! It pumps out the dirty water in seconds, all over the place!
You can also tell that it’s really just a toy because the reservoir doesn’t hold enough solution to do an entire flight of stairs.
Such a disappointment compared to our upright!

Thank you for your honest feedback, Adam. We’re sorry to hear the Little Green® Mini didn’t meet your expectations compared to your upright cleaner. This model is designed for quick spot cleaning rather than large areas, which can make the reservoir feel limited. For tips on maximizing performance or finding a machine better suited for bigger jobs, please reach out to us at support.bissell.com—we’d love to help you find the right fit.

Great cleaning machine

I was very impressed with this cleaner. The assembly was very easy, it was basically click and connect. It was simple to fill up the water container - there was clear guidance on the container regarding the water level and solution quantity needed. The machine itself is very lightweight. The cleaning process is easy, you just run the brush over the area you need to clean. I used it to clean a heavily trafficked area of carpet with deep stains. It took all the stains out in less than 10 mins cleaning. I also used it for a small stain on my couch and it was effective there too. There's no physical effort required other than running the brush over the area! I would definitely recommend this cleaner. Note I received the cleaner through the Stellar Product Testing Review panel.

Little Green Mini Corded Cleaner

I was given this portable carpet cleaner to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I love how compact and easy this machine is to use. I have the original Green Cleaner from Bissel and it is definitely a little bulky. This mini machine works just the same, but so much more portable! I was able to use this machine everywhere I normally used the larger version. I was able to use this on my upholstery, carpets, and rugs. It cleaned just as well if not slightly better than the original. Set up was so easy! It is super self explanatory, and the instructions were super easy to read. My favorite feature on this mini cleaner is the head nozzle. You can actually remove the nozzle top to better clean the machine after use!

Small but Mighty!

I love that this little cleaner packs a punch akin to my full size cleaner! Best features for me are the simple design, size, the fact that all cords and hoses have a place to live AND the self-cleaning function. My full size shampooer STINKS and is a hassle to pull out for smaller spills (like my toddler spilling chocolate milk on the couch and pet stains). This Iittle green mini is powerful, simple and the self-cleaning feature means that the hoses don't get stinky. It is my new go-to for small to moderate messes. I was able to do my entire couch on one tank of water so don't let the size deceive you! The noise level of this machine is also very manageable. BISSEL knocked it out of the park. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I would buy it for our house

I received the Little Green Mini Corded as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The carpet cleaner was easy to put together and use. I only gave it four stars because part of the directions were out of order. I was able to figure it out and use the machine. Also, I had to go over one of the carpet stains about three separate times before it camei out. I am impressed though with how I cannot tell where the carpet was stained anymore. Cleaning the machine was a breeze. The dogs arts were easy to disassemble and wash.
