Others say...
"Great Job Cleaning - Machine itself is difficult to clean " We bought this product because we have an elderly cat, who gets ALOT of hairballs. It does a fantastic job cleaning our light beige carpet from these nasty little messes....but I am truley disappointed that I cannot take the machine completely apart to clean it. I cannot find instructions anywhere on how to disassemble the machine to clean it. We've had it for a little over a year and a half now and after we use it, and do all the things the instructions tell us to do to keep the hose and parts clean, it still gets moldy ! YUCK. I think that is the reason why on the newer models of this machine Bissell choose to make the hose green colored, instead of the clear hose like the older machines have, becuase they don't want you too see the mold growing. I wouldn't recommend this machine based on the mold factor. "Positives outweigh negatives" We've had this machine for over 5 years, and only now am I going to replace it due to wear (and the smell). I completely agree that it is difficult to clean, but if you soak the return tank in diluted vinegar, it helps. I usually don't empty the tank after every use, so that probably makes the issue worse. The return tank has also started to leak into the plastic bottom, but I think that's because the gasket on the main unit is old and starting to come off. My hubby used this when housebreaking our puppy, and in the past six months, I've used this 2-3 times a day with a potty training toddler, muddy dog, and home improvement messes (dirt, paint, etc.). It's been a lifesaver! I haven't had a big problem with leaking because I put the machine in the garage as soon as I'm done. The 2 times I had serious leakage problems were because I put the machine back together incorrectly. One time I put the rubber gasket for the solution tank on wrong, and the other time it was the rubber insert for the return tank. We've more than gotten our money's worth from this machine, and I'm looking forward to getting a new one. I wish Bissell would make the unit easier to clean, but hopefully I'll be better at emptying the new one! "This cleaner doesn't SUCK! (literally)" I bought this after coming back from vacation,and finding that my cat used my brand new couches as a litter box. It started out working fine for the first time I steamed the couches. Then I noticed that it seemed to be leaking from the bottom of the machine the second time. The third time I noticed that the trigger leaked solution water on my hands. The fourth time I was already used to the problems that I was encountering. I let my friend use the machine once to clean his bed because his dog marked his mattress. He gave it back to me letting me know about the leaking and what not. I come back from my last vacation to find that my cat did the same thing. I break out the Little Green to clean up the mess again to find that the machine doesn't suck anymore. There is no longer any vacuum after only 5 uses. This machine is not worth the time or the money even if you are desperate. Now I have to go buy a different cleaner so I can hopefully salvage my couches. "very worth the money" I would say that this product was worth the money...we have two kids and we use it on the sofa and does a great job....so me and my wife think that this a great prduct! "just as good 2nd time around" This my 2nd "Little Green" I/we wore #1 out. I like the new design and preformance is tops with me. Having 2 dogs and two big babies (husband and son) we DO put it to the test. I recommend highly.

What our customer's say! "Doesn't work", I bought the Little Green machine new. I used it twice, once to clean a spot on an area rug and once to clean car upholstery. The next time I tried to use it the machine would not turn on. No power at all. I changed outlets. Still no power. Tried the switch several different times. No juice. It is absolutely ridiculous that a new product can only be used twice before it breaks. The machine I have was never dropped or abused in any manner. It was cleaned carefully after each use and store properly indoors. If this is how Bissell creates products then I'll never buy from them again. "Do not buy this!", As well as it's poorly designed tank system which you can never get totally clean, it just doesn't work that good in general. I have had this little green machine for a couple years now and only used it a couple times. The reason? Because woolite oxy deep and a rag works a million times better! It is more frustrating to pull out this machine and while you think it is going to be easier cleaning up a mess it isn't. i have to scrub harder with the bissel attachments then I would with just a rag. Save your money & buy some oxy deep! "the little machine that could", I bought the bissell carpet cleaner primarily for use in our motor home. Not only does it work fantastic in there, it is great for the house as well. I have had no problems and it cleans great. "Poorly Designed", THE BAD: The little green machine and the big green machines made by Bissell are poorly designed. Before you buy, be sure to do a web search of forums, blogs and reviews on the machine. You'll see (on Amazon.com for example)that they leak, triggers stick, poor suction, won't spray, and a myriad of other problems. I've owned several of these machines over the years, and there is always a problem near immediately or within a short time. I've bought pumps, hoses, brushes (cheap and break easily), handle assemblies, etc. Cords used on all models are cheap and stiff and kink easily. Their wands (on the big green machines don't hold together well. All in all, imo, they are not worth the money. If you insist on having one, however, I'd suggest you buy a refurbished one, since they are cheaper, no worse than new (sometimes better as they are oft' remedied), and often available and easily found (what does this tell you?). Currently, I need a small plastic part with spring for the trigger handle of a little green machine pro-heat model. Why? Because the spring that is supposed to return the spray trigger to its original (out) position when you take your finger off of it after spraying is rusted solid. Why is it rusted? Because it's made from steel, not stainless which is something Bissell should learn about using if they make products that handle water and are destined to get wet. Now, when I take my finger off the spray trigger, it sticks (no spring back with a lump of rusted spring), so the water continues to spray madly with no way to stop it other than turning the machine off. This is a quick fix with an easily detachable $2.00 plastic part with spring that snaps out and will snap in after removing two screws on the handle. The kicker, however, is that Bissell will not sell you this part. Instead, they direct you to contact one of their local dealers for service. You learn, however, when contacting a dealer to order the part (not wanting to pay the dealer megabucks to do some a fix so simple a monkey could do it, you learn you have to order the WHOLE handle assembly WITH HOSE to the tune of $30.00 PLUS shipping and handling. For a $2.00 part that snaps out after removing two screws on the handle????? Come on! That's nuts, not to mention a waste of time, money, materials, and natural resources! The bottom line here is that I'm done with Bissell until they start making available to us lowly consumers exactly what is needed to fix their poorly-designed products, i.e. ONLY the cheap part needed to replace the cheap part they manufactured. Oh, one more thing on the little green machine: As others have stated here (and elsewhere), because of another poor design feature, it's nearly impossible to get out all the wastes, including slime, fuzz, dirt, mold, bacteria, pee, feces and/or whatever else you sucked into this machine. To make matters worse, the filthy collection of waste water leaks into the bottom of the machine tray (outside of the holding tank). Bottom line here: If you're a science teacher or microbiologist, I'd recommend purchasing this machine. It has the potential to be a terrific science project or can serve as a novel research project re how to best incubate and propagate an unusual mix of symbiotic micro-organisms. Whatever you do, be sure NOT to use the machine shortly before company comes for dinner. Although this little machine's suction "sucks" (does a poor job), it is most effective at blowing/venting out some amazing, noxious odors from the accummulated biological wastes in the holding tank. The smell is akin to an unsanitized porta-potty on a hot and humid summer day in the tropics. THE GOOD?: When company vomits from the foul odors emitted from your little green machine, you can quickly suck up the vomitus with your little machine, adding it to the ongoing experiment in the holding tank! Now, ain't that handy? "Own It and Like It", My husbadn and I own this and my husband is using it as I type this review. I really like it. It's easy to use and does a great job at removing stains in carpeting as well as the futon mattress as we are discovering right now. Our male cat is having issues and decided that the futon was as good as the litter box. The Little Green machine is taking out the urine stains plus the smell. It's taking some elbow grease in which my husband is more suited for, but it's working. We are not having any issues with dirty water leaking or not being able to empty and clean it sufficiently between uses. I recommend this machine for the price and the portablity of it. ![]()
Read this reviews before You buy... "Great little cleaner", This product is better than expected for it's compact size. I have two siberian huskies who are getting old and need a lot of clean up after they come in from the rain etc. This machine really gets the dirt out and has powerful enough suction to get all the dirty solution up out of the rug when you are finished with the cleaning. Excellent product. I would not be without it. I would suggest getting the one that heats the cleaning solution. I don't have that feature so have to microwave it to get it hot. "This was a life saver!!!", Bought this machine when my cat was sick and we had frequent clean up (stinky watery cat poop so you know what we're talking here). This went on for months while the vet was trying to diagnose and cure our poor kitty. It really saved my sanity and our carpet. I kept the solution tank full of Nature's Miracle. After removing the bulk of the soil with paper towel, I used this machine to spray on the Nature's Miracle and let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes. Used the regular brush to vacuum up the stain (forget about the turbo brush). Only in dire cases, did I need to soak the area and let it evaporate on it's own (as the Nature's Miracle directions suggests). Kitty is feeling back in the pink, Mom still has her sanity and we continue to use this machine for any kind of spill or kitty mishap. Works great with carpet shampoo as well. "I'm a pro, and say it's great.", I've owned a cleaning business for 26 years, and this machine is great. There are a few secrets to success with it: To clean it and keep it from smelling, flush it after using. Suck hot clean water through the hose. If your unit is really dirty, suck a mild bleach solution and let it sit. ALSO, remove the rubber gasket at the bottom of the waste tank and clean it... this can be a major source of odor. It's very easy to do, but not mentioned in the instructions. Use just clean water in the solution tank, and put the cleaner in a spray bottle. (The less soap the better. Use the scrubber on the nozzle and allow a few minutes of dwell time). Think of your machine as the rinse cycle in a clothes washing machine. Rinse the dirt and soap out, leaving a minumum of residue. A seperate bottle also allows more precise application of cleaner. And it extends tank refills, so you won't have to wait for the spray pump to reprime as much. Durablility? I've used mine several times a week for almost a year now, what with business, dogs, and small children. No sign of wear whatever. This is a brilliant design. Don't let the reviews that don't know how to work with it dissuade you. It is one of the finest, best engineered consumer appliances ever made. Get the least expensive model, as the Turbo Brush and heater don't work well and are not needed. Drawbacks? Okay, it doesn't have the suction power of a commercial machine. If you want that, pay three hundred dollars more and lug an extra thirty pounds around the house. "Sprayer broke after a year of light use!!", My sister and I each purchased this Bissell model because we both own dogs and there are a couple of carpeted rooms in our homes. I had researched the Bissell Proheat and the reviews all said the sprayer mechanism melted and quit working and they had recommended the little green without the proheat feature. Well, after a few months my sister's machine stoped sucking up the water and after a year the sprayer on mine completely stopped spraying. I have switched over now to the Bissell Spotbot for Pets and so far so good. It's got the handheld manual hose feature and the hands free smart clean which I LOVE because there is no scrubbing involved. I recommend it. As for the Little Green Machine and the Pro Heat models. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY or TIME!!! We had to just pitch them both in the end because it would have cost more to fix them then to replace them completely. :( "pays for itself in one use", I love this thing. I only have area rugs, but I also have four cats -- this comes in handy. Plus, I use it to clean all of my upholstered furniture at least once each year. This machine costs less than what I have paid to have my sofa cleaned. It does really clean and it really does suck the dirt out! I love my Little Green and have removed some awful tar stains from a relative's carpet. I saw the results myself and otherwise would not have believed them. The dirty water was black and more viscous than it had been. I left off a star because it would be nice if the nozzle were a bit larger and easier to clean and the machine a a bit more power. I would like to buy a machine somewhere between this and the uprights. But, especially given the price, this is a great device that delivers what it promises. Use this properly and it will reward you with a cleaner home! ![]() |
