I wanted to wait to write a review until I had tested the Little Green on multiple types of stains on various fabrics/carpets, and it has not disappointed. So far, I've had 100% success cleaning up cat vomit, dog bile, and mud. These stains were cleaned off a wool throw rug, nylon/polyester blend carpet, and polyester upholstery, respectively. I used the provided Bissel Spot & Stain Febreeze solution and didn't find it to have an overwhelming scent.

Pros:

- It works which is the biggest thing for me! Plus, a couple of these stains, like the cat vomit one on the living room wool rug, had been there for months and nothing I tried would get it out.

- The machine is relatively light to carry around and is compact to stow away when finished.

- I liked that the electrical cord was very long which made it easy to use in rooms with only a few outlets.

- Any animal lover will know that no matter how much vacuuming you do, there's always going to be some stray hairs left behind. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Little Green has yet to get clogged while I've been cleaning. I always wash the pieces after each use, but it seems like my Lab's hair could clog anything. But, not Little Green!

Cons:

- I wish I could remove the hose completely to clean it, but the parts that can be removed to clean are easy to do so.

- When you load up the water-solution mixture into its tub and turn it upside down to install it into the machine, it does leak a little bit. Once it's in the machine, it doesn't continue leaking but it did catch me off guard the first time I used it thinking I did something wrong.

- I wish the instructions told me how best to use each of the attachments. It tells you how to install them, but I had to search online for more guidance on appropriate usage.

Overall, the cons are very small things compared to the pros. Especially if you have animals (or children), I would highly recommend this little guy. I've been telling family and friends about it ever since I got mine!

I have 3 kids, a dog and carpeted floors... I had been looking at this machine for a while but didn't end up buying it until I spent a hour trying to clean a large amount of vomit out of the carpet in my son's room. The smell was so bad I decided to finally get it and I'm so glad I did! This thing is AMAZING! And it's already paid for itself, I've had it less than a month and have used it 4 times now. Twice in different areas where my kids got sick, pulled up everything from the carpet. If I put my face near where it was now it smells nice and not like puke! Used it once on my area rug where our dog had a diarrhea accident... My husband wanted to throw the rug out but I tried this on it and it looks brand new now, you would never know our dog had a accident on it. The fourth time I've used it so far was on a chocolate shake spill stain from about 6 months ago. I didn't think it was going to work since it was a old spill but I decided to try it and it worked! The stain completely gone! I also really love that it comes with a attachment to clean the hose by itself too. The machine was easy for me to use and easy to clean. It's a little loud when using it but it does a amazing job cleaning! I can't recommend it enough, wish I would of bought it sooner. If you have kids/pets and your on the fence about it, just buy it, it's worth it!

A Great All-Around Vacuum from Bissell

I’ve been using my Bissell vacuum for several months, and it consistently impresses me with its performance, versatility, and ease of use. Here are the highlights:

Performance

Powerful suction** that handles both hardwood floors and low-pile carpets with ease.

Effective pet hair pickup** on fabric and upholstery, thanks to well-designed brushes and strong suction.

Good filtration** that keeps dust and allergens in check, improving overall air quality in the home.

Versatility

Multiple cleaning modes** or attachments (crevice tool, pet hair tool, upholstery brush) make quick work of hidden corners, stairs, and furniture.

Adjustable height or suction settings** for different surfaces, reducing the need to switch vacuums.

I purchased the BISSELL Little Green to clean upholstery and spot-treat messes in both my home and business, and overall it’s been a very useful machine. It does a great job lifting stains and freshening fabric, especially on chairs and small carpeted areas. The size is convenient, easy to carry, and perfect for targeted cleaning without bringing out a full-size carpet cleaner.

My main complaint is that it doesn’t always extract as much water as I’d like. After cleaning, the surface can still feel fairly damp, so I’ve had to allow extra drying time. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of.

Cleaning the machine itself was also less straightforward than expected. The tank design isn’t immediately obvious, and I had to look up instructions to figure out the proper way to clean it thoroughly. Once you understand how it comes apart, it’s manageable, but the process could definitely be more user-friendly.

That said, it still performs well and has been very helpful for maintaining upholstery and handling smaller cleaning jobs. Overall, I’d rate it 4 stars — very useful, but with a few design improvements that would make it even better.

Also, different models have different tanks. Some come apart completely, others don’t. If you have one that doesn’t, don’t be lazy about cleaning out the dirty water, if it molds you’re stuck forever!

Great little spot and stain cleaner, 5 stars. I also like that Bissell helps support homeless pets.

I have an upright room carpet shampooer for general carpet cleaning, but it is heavy, more difficult to empty, and doesn't do as good a job on heavy spots and stains as the Little Green does. After getting up any solids and excess with paper towels, this lets you scrub the problem area as needed and control how much solution you use on it with the hand held tool. Then use several extra passes to suction it almost dry. Much more convenient and easier to use on small areas than a big shampooer, unless you want to do a whole room or large area of course. It's also good for cleaning upholstery. While advertised for pets, it's just as helpful for kids' accidents as well as for spills and such on carpet or upholstery.

The suction slot is across the very front edge of the attachment, so you can spray, scrub with the bristles, and/or suction separately or at the same time, depending on the angle you hold it and whether you press the spray trigger. This thing is simple to use and wonderful!

The tanks are easy to remove. it's very easy to fill using the solution and water lines printed on the tank and to empty the dirty water tank into a toilet and rinse it out. Also rinse off the rubber gasket on the bottom of the dirty water tank. It even has an attachment to easily clean its own hose and internal parts. The scrubbing attachment swished clean in water. It also includes a spray crevice tool but I haven't used that one.

A small bottle of the special cleaning solution for portable machines is included. The oxy formula came with mine instead of the kind shown. I also ordered a larger bottle of the pro oxy solution at the same time to have on hand. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to attach a bracket with one included screw; not sure why that isn't done at the factory. I had to use a little pressure to screw it in but no big deal. There is one little hose clip that easily snaps on. (The machine would still work the same without those, but they help store the hose neatly.) Also the tube (like a little drinking straw) had fallen inside the clean water tank but I just slipped it back on once I figured out where it attached to part of the cap. It does need that piece to work, so check that it's attached.

There is a newer boxy model that is black that was on sale for the same $99 price and also gets good reviews, but I had already ordered this green one, which is actually cuter, LOL. I wish I had bought this years ago. It's a very useful portable cleaner especially if you have kids, pets, or are clumsy.

I’ve been using the BISSELL Little Green for a while now, and it’s honestly one of those “why didn’t I buy this sooner?” tools. It’s perfect for quick cleanups—spills on the couch, carpet stains, and especially car seats. The spray + scrub + suction combo works really well and pulls out way more dirt than you expect.

What I like most is how portable it is. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around, so I don’t have to drag out a full-size cleaner for small messes. The suction is surprisingly strong for such a compact machine, and it does a great job lifting stains from upholstery and rugs. It’s especially useful if you have pets or kids since it handles everyday messes really well. The targeted spray and suction system makes spot cleaning simple and effective.

The water tanks are easy to fill and empty, and cleanup is straightforward. That said, the tank is a bit small, so you’ll need to refill for bigger jobs, and the cord could be longer. Still, those are minor trade-offs.

Overall, it’s a super handy, reliable cleaner that I reach for all the time—it makes spot cleaning fast and actually kind of satisfying.

Our dog got a disease from a wild animal and had diarrhea all over my studio rug and our bedroom rug all night before we knew she was sick.

I tried spot cleaning with a rag and vinegar water and it left yellow stains. I tried letting some dry and scraping it up and then spot cleaning, and that was better but not thorough.

I didn't want the expense of replacing both wool rugs, so I ordered this magical spot cleaner and am so happy I did.

In about an hour I got everything up from both rugs, including set-in stains I had tried for a week to get out by soaking and blotting.

The design makes it easy to move around behind me. It's not too heavy, even full of water. And the amount of water it holds did the spots on both rugs. The compact design makes it easy to use and store.

You'll need one smallish Phillips screwdriver to assemble it, but the other parts snap into place, and it's easy enough that my 4-year-old granddaughter helped me with assemble and running it.

She loves sucking the dirty water back out of the rug with the brush hand tool. The suction is powerful. I got at least half the water back in the waste tank, and oh my, it was dirty. The rug felt pretty dry when it was over and I didn't worry about it warping the wood floor underneath.

I had to crawl around on the floor, which I wouldn't with an upright, but the convenience of this spot cleaning tool is worth it. It's so much easier to handle and store and to spot clean furniture. And it fits into tight spaces better and even sits on an end table quite comfortably.

In the end, it got up all the biologic material and most of the stains. There is a faint bit of yellow in one spot on each rug where I tried to clean before and just ground it in deeper. But it removed most of it, and anyone who doesn't know it's there won't see it. And it picked up such a mess that I didn't know if I'd ever get it all out. It works well, and I'm so happy to have it. The quality seems good. But I think plastic attachments and clips may break off if banged around too much. It's not an industrial machine, but it exceeds my expectations for home use.

We recently installed new carpet and brought home a new puppy — a combination that quickly taught me how important it is to have the right cleaning tool on hand. The BISSELL Little Green has been an absolute lifesaver for tackling the inevitable accidents and messes that come with training a pet.

Setup was simple: fill the clean water tank, add solution, and you’re ready to go. The spray, scrub, and suction system works exactly as advertised. When the puppy had an accident, I was able to spray, scrub, and extract the mess in minutes. The suction is strong enough to pull out moisture so the carpet dries quickly, which is critical for preventing lingering odors or stains on brand‑new carpet.

The portability is another highlight. It’s compact enough to carry from room to room, yet the 48‑oz water tank is large enough that I don’t have to stop and refill constantly. The hose and attachments make it easy to reach corners, stairs, and even furniture where the puppy sometimes decides to test boundaries.

Functionality: This cleaner isn’t just for carpets — I’ve already used it on a fabric couch and car upholstery after muddy paw prints. The versatility makes it more than just a spot cleaner; it’s a true multi‑purpose tool for pet owners.

Value for Money: For under $100, this machine delivers performance that rivals professional cleaning services. Considering how often I’d otherwise rent a carpet cleaner or pay for spot treatments, this unit pays for itself quickly. It’s sturdy, reliable, and feels built to last — exactly what you want when protecting a new carpet investment.

If I had to note one limitation, it’s that the brush head is on the smaller side, so cleaning large areas takes more time. But for spot cleaning and pet accidents, it’s perfect.

Overall, the BISSELL Little Green is a compact powerhouse that makes dealing with pet messes stress‑free. It keeps my new carpet looking fresh, prevents odors from setting in, and gives me peace of mind knowing I can handle accidents immediately. For anyone with a new pet or new carpet, this is a must‑have tool.

Did a wonderful job cleaning my second hand couch. Removed a lot of grime and made it look like new. Was also very easy to use.

I needed to return the item (through no fault of the company or actual cleaner)….. it was great, just had the wrong plug fitting for UK. The seller went above any beyond to help return and refund, and even when it got delayed in the post to them they still refunded me. Thank you for you excellent customer service here

La mejor compra para limpieza que he hecho, muy fácil de armar, de usar, limpia super bien las superficies, quita las manchas, deja algo húmedo la tela pero se seca rapidísimo. La recomiendo 100%, te vas a ahorrar muchísimo dinero en limpieza de tu sala.
