Excellent results

I bought this Green Machine when I had taken on a stray dog at my last residence to clean up 'accidents' on carpet in the house. It worked excellent for that. Then I moved to a smaller house without the dog and thought about getting rid of it but, I purchased cushions for a day bed I bought that had a 'strange stain' on them. I got them for a good price. They were excellent quality in material. I took them to a professional cleaner thinking the 'green machine' couldn't do the job. They tried their best, even cleaning the cushions two times but this strange stain would not disappear. I think the stain was animal. I think, the previous owners had let animals sleep on these cushions. So having nothing to lose, I tried the 'green machine' on them. They came up beautiful. Whatever the stain was, this cleaning machine dislodged it! They are clean and soft to the touch, unlike before they had been cleaned. This machine gave me results above a professional cleaning!

Worth every penny

When I received this unit as a Christmas gift several years ago, I got online and looked at reviews to see if it was worth keeping, as I had my eye on a more expensive unit. I saw that Little Green received many unfavorable reviews because the sprayer became gummed up by the cleaner and didn't work anymore after a few times. One review mentioned cleaning the injector/sprayer after each use, so that's what I did. It's been 4 or 5 years now, and our Little Green is still going strong. Here is what I do to clean it (and it only takes 5 minutes): Clean dirty water out of tank and put back in unit. Rinse the clean-water tank so that all soap has been rinsed out. Fill it up with clean, hot water. Turn the machine back on, heater and all, and spray all the water into a bucket - Here's where I notice the biggest difference - I spray about a third of the water from clean water reservoir into the bucket before sucking it up. This way, there is a good deal of force that pushes any dirt/dust/hair out of the guts of the dirty water tank. Repeat that until the water has been sprayed out and vacuumed into the dirty water tank. Your scrub brush end attachment should've been cleaned out some by doing this, as well. Hope this helps!

Love this little machine!

I have had mine for about 2 years and use it frequently, especially when my elderly mom would have accidents or spill things. It also did a terrific job on my pick-up truck seats that got muddy paw prints on them. I have given away 3 as wedding & birthday gifts too! I do wish the suction head had a removable plastic part to get it cleaner but I will try sucking up clear water as was recommended under some other reviews. Seems like a slight flaw in planning - should have a hinged opening or snap on/off section. If Bissell ever perfects it, I would love to buy a new nozzle.

Good little machine

from Owls Head, ME, USA
I'm a bit of a neat freak and use my machine quite often (almost daily) .I have a large dog and 10 cats to clean up after as well as my elderly dad who has bladder/bowel control problems. I've had it for at least 5 years and haven't had any problems with it. The suction is good as is the spray. Great for small jobs. It is hard to clean after using so I put the cleaning head under the facet turn it on and run clean water in it until the tank is almost full, empty it and do it a second time.

No suction
on February 21, 2014

My dog yakked on the couch. Took out my new Bissel Little Green machine. What a joke! I could have done a better job with a mop. It has next to zero suction. Sprays nicely heated hot water on, but doesn't remove but about 10% of it. My couch is now soaked. Using the rest of the tank on some carpet spots, and then refilling the tank once, before the recovery tank was only half full. It has a useless venturi driven power brush that can be used as a brush, or an extraction head, but not both at the same time? Who thinks of this stuff? The spray nozzle puts out a beautiful even spray, about 4 inches wider on both sides than the extraction head, so you're not able to control what gets wet or not. Like the arms of the sofa. You're going to soak the cushions and the floor at the same time. Spending more time cleaning up after the machine than the machine does cleaning. This is the worst design ever.
Response from BISSELL HomecareBy bissellpwr, bissellpwr, April 21, 2022
Depending on the material of your couch, you may want to work in small areas spraying then immediately scrubbing and suctioning back up. This will help eliminate the formula from soaking into the couch making it tough to suction back out of the cushioning. I hope that helps.

Does the Job

Used the Little Green for the first time. How amazing. Been wanting to clean a VERY DIRTY wing-backed chair. Upholstery cleaner/sprays just don't do the job. Can't tell you how clean the chair now looks. It did take a couple of cleanings---but it was very dirty--you should have seen the water! Also, have started to clean some carpeting--again, will take a few tries but it is getting clean. Hope it continues to work.

We have two inside cats and there is always something to clean up. This little machine is great. It is hard for me to get down and clean the areas very well and I am impressed with this machine.
