Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Bissel Little Green Hand Held Deep Cleaner
Tool Review: Very handy for both upholstery and carpets
Summary: 4 Stars
I was able to get this unit at a discount from my job, because the box was crushed and it was missing the nozzle head. Luckily, Bissell sells the heads online pretty cheaply.
Since I don't have any carpet in my house, I've only used it on upholstery. We have a set of kitchen chairs with white upholstered seats that get dirty despite their plastic covers. I used the Little Green Machine on them and not only did all the dirt came off, but they came out looking almost new.
There are some cons, however. First, the nozzle tends to spray in a pretty wide arc. This is probably fine for carpets or large upholstered pieces (like sofas), but it can be kind of messy when cleaning things like chairs. Luckily, the machine will actually vacuum up a little bit of that large puddle from the floor.
Second, upholstery doesn't get dry from vacuuming with the machine. In fact, it stays pretty wet and can take a couple of hours to dry fully. Vacuuming 6 chairs over and over to get them dry can result in hand strain, so it's really better to give in and set them aside to dry.
Third, the trigger for the spray isn't in the best place. You really have to adjust your hand when you start vacuuming or you might accidentally start spraying water everywhere again.
All in all, however, I'm extremely happy with the way it cleans, and I don't mind that it makes a bit of a mess. The cord is super-long, and the whole unit folds up into a nice compact package. It's also an advantage that it can be stored with solution and water in the tank, though I always prefer to use hot water rather than cold.
UPDATE 10/08
My cousin borrowed our little green machine to use on the carpets in her apartment. She reports that it got out baby food, salad dressing, and some other stains. According to her the stains are now barely visible, which is good for a such a small machine.
