Bissell Little Green ProHeat Pet Portable Deep Cleaner, 1425W 4 5 143 158
Not Bad! First off, I've only used this machine a couple of times. I just purchased it a week ago. I think many people are expecting too much of this machine. I also have a full size Oreck Steemer carpet cleaner. After I use it you have to let the carpet dry for hours so don't expect this little green machine to leave your carpet dry when your done using it. It picks up the dirt very well. If you put your hand over the end of the attachment it dosen't feel like much suction but, when pressed to the floor you can see that dirty liquid sucking up through it just like my bigger Oreck. What fools you is that the clean tank level is about 3 times the capacity of the dirty tank - even though they look like they are the same size externally. So, if you use too much of that clean solution up w/o emptying the dirty tank you will have created a mess for yourself in one way or another. As another reviewer said, after emtying the dirty tank I put it back on and suck up a half a cup of clean water to flush out any residue thats left in the hose and internal parts of the machine, as well as running water through the attachments and solution ports of the attachments. I have to do the same things to my Oreck too if I want it to keep functioning properly. It takes less time and is easier to clean the little green machine though. When you remove the dirty tank you should notice that there is a bit of dirty water and small particles on the base where the tank seals against - it should go w/o saying, you have to give that spot and the tank seal a quick wipe or you will have created another spot for it to leak eventually. I'll second what someone else said about the smaller brush end, it sprays a pattern 4 times wider than the brush end is, it needs to be modified. What surprized me with the tubo brush is that it either spins or vacuums, not both at the same time, it's not designed to. If you press down hard so there is a real tight seal against the wet carpet you will get the brush to spin slowly but, like I said it's only designed to do one or the other at a time. Overall it does pick up the dirty solution very well, it's not too loud and sounds like a quality vacuum cleaner. Just use it for what it's intended for..."spot cleaning" and keep it clean and I think you will be very happy with it. 01/17/2009
Never pay for carpet/upholstery cleaning again! The Little Green with heat is bsolutley fantasic- not only for carpet stains, but for upholstery!I used hot water only- no cleaning solution- and it got out ground in carpet stains. I also had a beige colored ottoman that I was going to throw away, it was so dirty. The Little Green took out every mark and all of the dirt and it looks brand new! I used it on a dark colored arm chair with the same result- the heat and motorized brush powered out the stains and I did not use any cleaning solution (which can cause dirt to reattract more quickly). A popular carpet cleaning chain quoted me over $200 to clean my sectional, 2 armchairs and an ottoman. I cleaned them all in under an hour and they look like they were professionally done. The machine has already paid for itself 2+ times. Would recommend this product to anyone who wants clean carpet and upholstery without calling a cleaning company! 05/29/2009
Great for Pet Lovers I purchased this product about two months ago, and to be honest, it sat in the closet for about a month because I had a small carpet cleaner years ago that was a piece of junk. I was afraid that I would have the same results. I finally used it, and it is wonderful. I have three cats and they are all very old (16, 15 and 14) so they throw up a lot. This does a great job cleaning the spots. Easy to use, very portable, and quiet. I love it....used it twice now with great results. Stains do not come back when the carpet dries. Also have the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vac. It does a great job with pet hair. Good product line for pet lovers. 07/27/2009
awesome I bought this product today and came straight home and used it. It was awesome. I could not believe how well it worked. I read the reviews for this product and was scared to try it. When I got to the store this is the only one they had I am so glad I bought it. I used it in my suv on the seats and it got up all the stains on the seats from soda that had been spilled and left a clean smell in the car. I would recommend giving it a try. 04/18/2009
