Not enough suction power for my family. The unit was very basic and weak
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Little Cleaner that Could

So let me get started by saying I am a Mom of two toddlers and I have two Siberian Huskies. If you haven't already guessed our life is full of messes and I am constantly looking for products to help me clean things up. Luckily, this carpet cleaner came my way and things starting to look up (and look a whole lot cleaner). This carpet cleaner is super easy to use and it's so light and portable. Its compact size allowed me to store it underneath my sink and it's didn't have a lot of complicated parts so it was very user friendly. I mostly used the cleaner on my carpets and furniture that my kids and dogs tend to leave dirty on a regular basis. The best part is that even though it was small it worked tremendously well on big stains and messes. Pasta sauce, pet urine, grease from pizza, and dirty paw prints were just a few of the things we were able to clean up with this cleaner. I was so surprised by how well it worked considering its size but it did the job and it did the job well. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this portable carpet cleaner.

Compact and Lightweight

I love the ease of putting the shampooer together. It is so common sense that I didn't even need the instructions. It's compact, cute, and I love the self cleaning included part. My previous shampooer didn't have one and it showed on the machine after a time. The Mini is also quieter than my previous carpet shampooer (although that makes sense just from the machine's size difference). The other one scares my children when I use it, but I can use the Mini around them no problem or during naptime if needed. I don't love the location that the water sprays out from since it seems harder to clean near walls/corner/edges without lifting the whole nozzle to spray separately before applying the nozzle suction once again. However, for little spills, the mini has worked well for me. I was given this portable carpet cleaner to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but these opinions are my own. I love how transportable it is; super fast and easy to clean up a spill.

Fan for life!

I have been a fan and owner of bissell products for many years. The Mini Green corded machine stands up against the best. It is compact but effective. I do wish the suction was a tad stronger, but for the size of the machine it is okay. I have 3 levels in my house so it is easy to take around for small messes. With 3 dogs and 4 kids all sizes of messes happen daily. I have used this machine to spot clean carpets, rugs and even used it on our couches. Super effective in removing the stains. It did not take much to set it up, it is very easy to clean and add the water and cleaning product to their canisters. It does have a self cleaning attachment for the hose which is a *chef's kiss*. I would gladly purchase another one of these for my family. The portability, effectiveness and ease of cleaning sells it enough on those points. Many thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this portable carpet cleaner.

Great little machine

I love corded machines because you can just feel the power! I owned a cordless carpet cleaner and never felt like it truly did a good job and the battery died too fast on the job. Being corded I feel like the possibilities are endless with cleaning and the compact design allows you to take it anywhere, within reason of course. It was very easy to figure out and clean after finished. From carpets to area rugs, I felt like this cleaned up pretty well. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try this out!

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this portable carpet cleaner. This Little Green Mini is lightweight making it so easy to carry throughout the house to clean up kids and dog messes. It's super easy to set up and use with easy to understand and follow durections. I've been able to quickly cleanup just about any mess the kids have made without having to get out the big bulky cleaner.

Small and mighty

The little green mini corded is perfect for small household jobs. I have kids and a dog who make messes constantly, but we also have a small house with little storage space. The small size is very convenient and easy to take out for spills and accidents. I do wish that the suction were stronger, but it still does a great job of cleaning for its size. I don't expect it to have the same suction of a larger or upright model. I've used it on carpet and upholstery and it did a good job on both. I wish that the hose was slightly longer. If placed on the floor it couldn't reach my couch back cushions but it is small enough to move around if needed. Overall I recommend if you have a small space and clean up smaller messes regularly. I received this product for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.

Great for immediate spills

I was given this portable carpet cleaner to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was pleasantly surprised by its size and how easy it was to put together. It's best for new spills and stains, and takes them up easily. While it can get out some older stains, it does not really refresh anything that has stains from repeated use like a dining chair. Seems best suited for low-pile carpet and rugs. I found I needed to turn it on to spray, turn it off to scrub so it wouldn't suck up the solution too soon, and then turn it back on to suction the stain. One little detail I love is that "every purchase saves pets." I didn't know this, and it was a nice plus! Overall it's great to have around especially with kids and pets. It makes cleaning up recent spills or accidents much easier! But if you're looking for something to deep clean or refresh old upholstery or worn rugs, I'd look for something a bit more heavy duty.
