Perfect complement to stand up rug cleaners

Perfect for hard to reach areas which stand up rug cleaners can't reach. Great portability, does according to description, and has already paid for itself.
I needed something that would do stairs in a rental that I live in. I was amazed at how well they cleaned up. The real test was the Berber carpet in the living room that was stained from the previous tenants with gum and other marks. Imagine my surprise when this little machine actually pulled the gum up and I can once again see the natural mat of the Berber carpet. A bit of a pain to do the carpet on my hands and knees, but the results were completely worth it. I had used a rug doctor previously on this same carpet and it did not do half the job the Bissell little green did.

Thank you for your review. We have many upright deep cleaners for large areas to clean. To view, please click at this link: http://www.bissell.com/upright-carpet-deep-cleaner-formulas/?icid=ccrr.
I borrowed my sister's little green machine to clean the carpet in our truck, and it worked so unbelievably well I went out and bought one for myself. When I told my sister, she said hers quit working after I returned it; it was used less than 10 times. Mine was used 4 times and quit spraying as well. We went through the troubleshooting and my husband took it apart to clean it thoroughly,he is very handy and can fix anything. Not this machine, though. I would never waste $100+ on this machine again. When it works, it does a fantastic job. It is not a good value for something that shouldn't be "disposable" after a few uses.

I purchased this product on Friday (11/10), and used it on Tuesday (11/13) and I was very impressed. I have a berber carpet all throughout the house, steps included, and it's very hard to clean. I used this on a piece of carpet I keep as a "welcome mat" and on the steps, and this Little Green did the job. I couldn't believe the difference. This was a great investment and I would recommend this product to anyone who asks.
This is a great little cleaner! I have used it on my upholstery, my daughter-in- laws upholstery, and just about anything that can't go in the washer! I've only had it a couple of months and it has more than paid for itself! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good upholstery/spot cleaner.
We bought little green machine 1400 series 4 years ago. We have used it about 10 times. It no longer sprays water or stolution. Did all the trouble shooting steps 5 times. We cannot recommend this product. Bissell should build a little green machine that does not quit working after using very infrequently in 4 years

Sorry Terryo, to hear your unit isn't spraying anymore. You may want to try removing the tool on the end of the hose and soaking it in hot water. If this doesn't help, there are a few additional troubleshooting steps not listed in the user's guide at this link: http://www.bissell.com/FAQDetail.aspx?id=1191
This is is one of the BEST and handiest household machines I have ever had! I just finally had to ditch ours after 20 YEARS..YEP! I said TWENTY YEARS. I have used it for all kinds of stains from wine to foot traffic to blue raspberry drinks my son spilled as a toddler (he is now 21) and we also used it to detail both our vehicles! I made my own carpet cleaner concoction only because I am moneywise and know how to get anything but nail polish out of any surface...and do pretty good on nail polish often. I never needed a heating element in mine and figured it was just something else to break. I have tackled larger entry-ways, on my hands and knees, that greyed during winter traffic and snow melts and still got it clean. I did clean & dry out all parts after use so it was taken care of. The only part to ever break was the button that makes the water suck back up on the brush handle, and once that was gone I ditched it. I am here to buy another machine for me and one for my son for Christmas... probably the same Green Machines!! I wish you'd kept the Little Green or Little Black names...can't beat them! WooHoooo!
I agree with most of the previous reviews. Very easy to use, solution works well on very dirty furniture. Only drawback is the brush is hard to clean out. The clear part should be removable so it could be rinsed clean. The brush is cheap enough to replace, but wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to replace it?
