Bissell Little Green Pet Deluxe Portable Carpet Cleaner and Car/Auto Detailer, 3353, Gray/Blue

The media could not be loaded. First let me say I don’t normally take time to write reviews but I just had to share my story because I’m still giddy about how well this machine worked.I recently purchased a beautiful cream, designer chair at a furniture consignment shop and the lighting must have been bad in the store because I didn’t notice at all that it was quite dirty. I was just so excited that it was exactly what I had been looking for - color, size, style and price!When I got it home it was perfect in every way EXCEPT the off-white that was so perfect in the fluorescent lighting was a dingy EWWW in the natural light of our living room. I took the armrest covers off and YUCK! I noticed how dirty the arms were and then noticed that I hadn’t looked that closely on the store - there were spots all over the chair!The store doesn’t take returns AND I loved everything about the chair except the grime and spots (how did I not notice those in the store???) so I googled best upholstery cleaner and the BISSELL Little Green Machine showed up as top-rated in multiple blogs so I searched for it on Amazon. It had awesome reviews confirming what the blogs has said so I ordered it.It came super-fast and was easy to set up. I got to work. Well, my sweet husband got to work. My plan was to have him handle the task as he’s usually in charge of the grimy stuff. Love that man. 😊🙏Well I had no idea cleaning upholstery could be so fun! This little machine sucked the grime right out! It was really satisfying to see it get sucked out right before my eyes. Before my husband knew it, he was free to watch his baseball game because I had taken over.When I was finished the cream chair looked like new!And I didn’t stop there.I had a 14-year old blue chair in my home office that had weathered two babies, lots of journaling and phone conversations with my feet tucked up underneath me, latte spills and just…a full life! Our whole family loves mommy’s blue chair as it’s where good conversations and snuggles have happened my kids’ entire lives. When we recently remodeled our home I was looking for a new chair for myself. My whole family protested because they loved it so much. It bummed me out because - well LOOK at the “before” photos of the blue chair I posted. Our whole house was clean and fresh from the much-needed after 17 years in the house remodel. Having to look at that chair, as much as I loved the memories of it, grossed me out.So when I finished the cream chair I thought, I’m going to see what the BISSELL Little Green Machine could do for the blue chair. I figured, worst case scenario it would make it worse and then I’d HAVE to get my new chair. 😀I honestly didn’t think it would make a difference. I had actually had a professional rug + upholstery cleaner look at it and say he couldn’t do anything to make it look better just two months ago during the remodel. So despite seeing the INCREDIBLE results on the cream chair, my expectations were low. Additionally, this was an inexpensive chair with a sueded microfiber fabric - not nearly as well made as the cream chair so I wasn’t sure if the not super-sturdy fabric would withstand the cleaning fluid or brush.I was blown away. As you can see by the Before and After photos - the BISSELL mighty little machine did an amazing job!!! The blue chair is saved and we are ALL excited. Yes, even me. 😃 I just wish I would have taken videos of cleaning the blue chair - the water was SO dirty. GROSS!Again though, it was SO satisfying throughout the process to see the dirt come out and have brand new chairs.This machine is WELL worth the very reasonable price and I also absolutely love being able to restore two chairs rather than buy new ones. Less landfill and consumerism to help the planet. And the pocketbook!!!A little technique scoop (if you’re still reading) - on the cream chair we sprayed the cleaning water from the machine on the area, then sprayed Resolve and let it sit for a minute or two before we sucked up the dirt. The Resolve did make the dirty water in the tank pretty foamy and I’m not sure if it could damage the machine or the chair but when we tried it we were kind of thinking we didn’t have anything to lose as the fabric was so grungy when we got it home to natural light, we would not have kept the chair if the BISSELL didn’t work. The machine seems totally fine and of course the chair is now clean and beautiful!I could not possibly love this little machine more and now I can feel much more confident with all of our new carpet and furniture because if we get a spill or a stain this lightly little green machine will take care of it!I highly recommend the BISSELL Little Green Machine!

This cleaner is effective for small jobs. I used it to clean an upholstered recliner. There are a some things which could be improved for working on furniture. First, the amount of spray apparently is not adjustable. This results in potentially over saturating the area being cleaned. Second, the sprayer does not work as well on vertical surfaces of a chair because it water tend to run down. Third, it would be helpful if the hose was a little bit longer. These problems are not likely to be a problem when cleaning a flat, horizontal surface.The device is easy to clean and store. When setting up the cleaner make sure you do it in an area where a little water dripped on the floor is not a problem. The clean a dirty water containers do tend to drip when separated from the machine. All in all, the Little Green Machine is a convenient appliance to have for those occasional small jobs that come up.

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.
