Product Overview
The BISSELL Little Green Portable Carpet and Upholstery Spot Cleaner is intended for use on smaller areas of carpets, upholstery, stairs, automobile interior fabrics as well as other types of fabric that do not require a larger scale carpet cleaner. The machine's small size, extendable hose and portable hand held cleaning accessories allow you to quickly clean up spills and stains in your home.
This cleaner works by spraying a cleaning agent onto the area being cleaned, scrubbing with an attachment tool provided, and then using vacuum to suck dirty cleaning liquid back into a recovery container. The separate clean and dirty water containers make set-up and clean-up much simpler than they would have been otherwise. Additionally, the built-in handle for carrying the unit and its compact design make this product easy to move from one location to another.
Customers Say
A number of consumers have reported that the Bissell Little Green has performed well in eliminating daily stains such as food spills, pet accidents, mud spots, etc. from sofas, chairs, area rugs, carpeted floors, stairs and auto upholstery.
Customers generally agree about the product being lightweight enough to easily transport from room to room and that it can be stored much easier than most traditional home carpet cleaners due to its smaller dimensions. A common compliment to the product was the lengthy hose which allows users to reach into furniture and vehicles.
Some common complaints included needing to fill up the clean water tank when completing large cleaning tasks and the necessity of washing both the hose and dirty water container each time you finish using the unit. Some consumers also complained occasionally there would be some drips or very minor leakages if the tanks or hose were not properly connected.
