No suction

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.

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.
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.
Bissell made an excellent disposable unit. There is no way to clean the collection tank or the cleaning head. You have to replace these units. I mean seriously?!? The dirtiest parts of this unit and there is no way to disassemble them and clean them, your only solution is to replace them with new ones. While I like how it works, I would have paid a bit more to have a unit that I can clean and not constantly order new pieces to replace the old ones once they start to smell, and they will start to smell.

We bought the Little Green Machine to clean our 14 year old Hunter Douglas Sillouette blinds. We cleaned all 11, and they look much better. It was amazing how dark the water in the catch tank looked when emptied. We are glad that we found the recommendation on one of the blogs, and plan to use the machine again before another 14 years.
I got a new puppy and she had accidents, I'm 7 months pregnant and can't sit and scrub her accident up and this works wonders. Except you can't clean the suctioning part of the nozzle. But it's lightweight and cleans great. If you order from the site I got $10 off and free shipping.

Thank you for your review. The best way to clean the tools is to take a bowl of water and suction the water back into the collection tank to push the debris thorugh. You may have to do this a few times before clean water comes back. This is a good way to clean the upholstery hose also.
I wanted something portable for cleaning up pet messes. This machine puts down a good spray and the brush loosens any dried mess and then does a good job of sucking it all up. I had trouble with a previous machine on other than flat areas. This machine works great on all contours.
This machine worked WONDERFULLY at first for getting out pet accidents! Then though... No matter how much I vacuum first, pet hair gets trapped in the clear plastic area but you can't take that piece of the machine apart. Sometimes it is just too disgusting from past uses for me to want to use again because I can't clean the machine properly. Not a fan of that lack of function.
