Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a 2-3/4 amp motor and safe to use on virtually all carpets, this compact-size Little Green multipurpose deep cleaner can handle both small and large clean-ups, even stubborn spots and stains, as effectively as a full-size machine. It combines a cleaning spray with powerful suction to lift spills before they set in--much better than store-bought chemical cleaners, which get sprayed on or rubbed in, pushing stains deeper into carpet or upholstery fibers. The deep-cleaning machine provides a 4-inch cleaning path, a flexible vacuum hose, and a 15-foot power cord for accessing hard-to-reach areas. In addition, it uses liquid cleaning formulas that do not contain any heavy metals, optical brighteners, phosphates, or dyes. Try the Bissell Pet Odor and Soil Removal solution for getting rid of tough odors, tracked-in dirt, dander, and other soils from pets. Designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, the deep cleaner can be stored ready-to-use and requires nothing more than simply rinsing out the dirty-water tank after each use. A tough-stain brush attachment comes included.
This thorough, effective, and convenient deep cleaner for tasks large and small has:
Suitably named Little Green, the deep cleaner has been engineered with sustainable features to reduce waste and help protect the environment. The unit's redesign offers a 95-percent reduction in PVC. It includes a PVC-free hose, PVC-free solution and collection tanks (made of recyclable polypropylene), as well as parts constructed from 100-percent post-consumer recycled plastic. Even its carton and inner packaging are made from a minimum of 75-percent recycled material--all Styrofoam and PVC inserts have been eliminated. Bissell has made a strong commitment to a healthy environment, and its innovative closed-loop manufacturing process allows new vacuums and deep-cleaning machines to be manufactured using post-consumer recycled content. The Little Green deep-cleaning machine measures 9-1/10 by 18-4/5 by 13-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

The Little Green FAQ
 | Is the Little Green as effective at cleaning as a full size machine? Yes. Also, the Little Green has an important advantage. Little Green’s long vacuum and power cord let you clean those hard-to-reach spots and spills on stairs and upholstery in your home as well as your auto or RV interiors. Is the Little Green safe for all carpet and upholstery types? The Bissell Little Green is safe and effective on virtually all carpets--although certain wools require extra special care. We recommend following the carpet and upholstery manufacturer fabric treatment instructions before using Little Green. What are the advantages of using the Little Green versus store bought chemical cleaners? Unlike store bought chemical cleaners which are simply sprayed on a stain or rubbed in with a cloth--pushing the stain deeper into carpet and upholstery fibers--Little Green, with its powerful suction, lifts-up spills before they set-in. What maintenance is required for the Little Green? Minimal. The Little Green can be stored ready-to-use to get spots and spills when they happen. However, we recommend rinsing out the dirty water tank after each use. Does the Little Green work effectively at removing pet stains and odors? Using Bissell Pet Odor and Soil Removal solution, with its patented odor eliminator, the Little Green will remove tough odors tracked in dirt, dander, and other soils from pets.

Greener Processes
Closed Loop Manufacturing
Bissell has implemented an innovative closed loop manufacturing process that allows new vacuums and deep cleaning machines to be manufactured using post consumer recycled content. Below is a graphic of this process.
Chemical Blow Molding
Bissell has been practicing recycling in its blowmolded bottle operations for over 40 years. We make our bottles from three plastic types: new resin, reused resin from the waste trimmed off the bottles, and post consumer recycled resin, which makes up 30 percent of the materials.
In 2007, using 30 percent post consumer recycled content in our formula bottles enabled us to save 1 million pounds of high-density polyethylene. This is up dramatically from 176,000 pounds in 2005 and equates to a 470 percent increase in recycled content used. That's a lot of old milk jugs!

My husband, albiet not from here, picked up this little gem after calling him and relaying that our son dumped the entire contents of a chocolate syrup bottle on his bedroom carpet. Home he came with this bissell. Only one they had at the store.
Assembly in two seconds, I kid you not. Didn't even need to look at the instructions. put in the cleaning solution, filled reservoir with water, set it down, plugged it in. Now, mind you, it took me about ten minutes, with a few minutes between each go, this syrup was well and good in the carpet, but I am deeply impressed. Throughly impressed. It's very light, even filled, it's compact, fits real nicely into our cleaning closet, and super easy to use. For the price we paid, it's paid for itself halfway with just the one room, compared to getting our carpets steam cleaned every few months. I would happily buy again.

This machine is designed to guzzle bottles of Bissell Cleaner, but you can get around this!
Turn the machine OFF. Raise it above the spot you want to clean, either holding it or sitting it on a chair or higher step.
Lower the nozzle right over your spot, press the spray button, and gravity will drip the liquid as small as a dime to quarter size spot. Let it soak a few minutes, turn the machine back on and vacuum the liquid up.
Do saturate the spot well, then with the machine on press down without scrubbing too much and vacuum up as much of the liquid up as you can. Repeating, if necessary, will continue to lighten the stain. Vacuum it as dry as possible each time to pull out the stain.
There is also no reason you have to use the machine to hold and dispense your cleaning mix. You could use a bottle that squirts a narrow stream of liquid if you want to hit only small spots. After you've let it set a few minutes then use the machine to vacuum up the liquid.

Let's hope the Little Green is a precursor to greater models. I have owned a larger model Bissell for nearly 2 decades and am fully aware of its reputation for getting things clean. I decided I wanted a smaller, more portable model for my car, the stairs, furniture, and small stains due to people and pets. This way I would only have to lug out the larger model for the large jobs like the carpeting, which is truly a once in a blue moon event. With a little vigorous scrubbing and chemical solutions, virtually any stain is a thing of the past, however I have come to realize certain design characteristics could be better.
When I clean the stairs, I can't keep the unit more or less than two stairs away at all times. A step closer and it's too close to my cleaning area. A step down and the hose just won't allow me to reach. If only the hose could be a little longer it would help immensely. I also find the base of the unit hovers over the edge by a couple inches, which doesn't challenge its center of gravity, but a single unfortunate move could cause it to topple so it's good to pay attention to everything around you. Considering the shortness of the hose, it would've been nice if it could pivot or have free-range flexibility where it connects to the unit.
The sprayer doesn't just spray the immediate area being cleaned; it fans out by several inches to either side. When I try to clean a small area, the last thing I want is to have excess moisture to eventually remove. Let's face it all material retains some moisture even after vacuuming with "drying strokes." This increases the drying time and consumes more solution than needed which is wasteful.
The vessel for mixing the solution with water is clearly marked, however it's capacity is fairly small so after about 10 minutes of solid use, such as the stairs or furniture, I need to go mix some more. That in itself is not a problem so much as it's a bit of a drag to interrupt one's flow of progress to go mix more cleaning solution. I have yet to be challenged with emptying the collection vessel before my task is complete so I would say it is a fair size, yet I am astonished that the liquid I collect is far less proportionate to the liquid spent, i.e. for every tub of cleaning solution used, I only retrieve about a quarter, if that much. That means a lot of moisture is still soaked into what I've cleaned and The drying time is considerable (5-8 hours for a mattress), while less absorbent things such as the stairs only need and hour or two at best. One can cut down on how much cleaning solution is used by spending a little time pre-treating the designated area once or twice before cleaning.
Another design flaw that caught my attention is the lack of a handle. this may sound silly to some: it's a big tube, grab it anywhere. However I am 34 and have had arthritis for over a decade already. After about 10-15 minutes of use, my hands hurt because I can't get a proper grip. I've tried holding it various ways to no avail. I wish it was easier to grab. I am glad most of my cleaning tasks are done in that amount of time or I would be ready to call it quits.
On the whole, this unit is great. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It is also convenient to stow away almost anywhere. I feel the power cord is an appreciable length. I also feel most people would love it. Bissell makes reliable products that last and last, however I feel the folks at Bissell's research and development department could have spent a little more time developing the design of the Little Green. Whomever tested the prototype couldn't possibly have used it in a home environment, which is unfortunate because it leaves avid consumers, such as myself, to discover all the design flaws. After all, this unit is supposed to make life's little cleanup tasks considerably easier. Would I recommend it? Most likely, I would.
