BISSELL Little Green® Max Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner 3857

This is an amazing little machine! It is small and lightweight enough to be easily portable all over the house, even when the canister(s) are loaded with liquid (cleaning solution or waste water), yet powerful enough to deal with nasty messes. I got this because I have a new puppy who was having problems with training; lots of indoor urine messes on the carpet. I had used other enzymatic products, which prevented stains, but I couldn't abide the scent, and could still catch a whiff of the original urine. I first used this Little Green Max to re-treat the old spots and it completely removed the odors of both the old urine and the overlaid chemicals: after a few days, you couldn't tell anything had happened, even if you put your nose right down on the carpeting. Puppy has been successfully house trained, but now we are dealing with inappropriate chewing, and times where he eats objects that don't agree with his digestion. I've had three early-morning instances of vomiting (one stick, and two hunks of plastic) and because this machine is so quick and easy to set up and use, dealing with the liquified portion of the vomit is a breeze. The vacuum is extremely powerful, better than my household vacuum, and it is so easy to not only set up and use, but cleaning the machine itself is simple. The best part may be the fact that you can use the “self clean” to rinse out the tubing and nozzle. No lingering smells in the machine itself! I love this product and consider it an essential tool in my cleaning arsenal.

This works SO well for smaller areas. I used it for an area that my shampoo cleaner couldn't reach closer to the wall to clean up cat urine and it worked so well. It kind of leaks water around the tube part and I have to dry that part of it after using but still worked very well while using and wasn't leaking while in use.
