Do not buy this! October 28, 2008
As well as it's poorly designed tank system which you can never get totally clean, it just doesn't work that good in general. I have had this little green machine for a couple years now and only used it a couple times. The reason? Because woolite oxy deep and a rag works a million times better! It is more frustrating to pull out this machine and while you think it is going to be easier cleaning up a mess it isn't. i have to scrub harder with the bissel attachments then I would with just a rag. Save your money & buy some oxy deep!

the little machine that could September 10, 2008
I bought the bissell carpet cleaner primarily for use in our motor home. Not only does it work fantastic in there, it is great for the house as well. I have had no problems and it cleans great.

Poorly Designed August 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

THE BAD: The little green machine and the big green machines made by Bissell are poorly designed. Before you buy, be sure to do a web search of forums, blogs and reviews on the machine. You'll see (on Amazon.com for example)that they leak, triggers stick, poor suction, won't spray, and a myriad of other problems. I've owned several of these machines over the years, and there is always a problem near immediately or within a short time. I've bought pumps, hoses, brushes (cheap and break easily), handle assemblies, etc. Cords used on all models are cheap and stiff and kink easily. Their wands (on the big green machines don't hold together well. All in all, imo, they are not worth the money. If you insist on having one, however, I'd suggest you buy a refurbished one, since they are cheaper, no worse than new (sometimes better as they are oft' remedied), and often available and easily found (what does this tell you?).

Currently, I need a small plastic part with spring for the trigger handle of a little green machine pro-heat model. Why? Because the spring that is supposed to return the spray trigger to its original (out) position when you take your finger off of it after spraying is rusted solid. Why is it rusted? Because it's made from steel, not stainless which is something Bissell should learn about using if they make products that handle water and are destined to get wet. Now, when I take my finger off the spray trigger, it sticks (no spring back with a lump of rusted spring), so the water continues to spray madly with no way to stop it other than turning the machine off. This is a quick fix with an easily detachable $2.00 plastic part with spring that snaps out and will snap in after removing two screws on the handle. The kicker, however, is that Bissell will not sell you this part. Instead, they direct you to contact one of their local dealers for service. You learn, however, when contacting a dealer to order the part (not wanting to pay the dealer megabucks to do some a fix so simple a monkey could do it, you learn you have to order the WHOLE handle assembly WITH HOSE to the tune of $30.00 PLUS shipping and handling. For a $2.00 part that snaps out after removing two screws on the handle????? Come on! That's nuts, not to mention a waste of time, money, materials, and natural resources! The bottom line here is that I'm done with Bissell until they start making available to us lowly consumers exactly what is needed to fix their poorly-designed products, i.e. ONLY the cheap part needed to replace the cheap part they manufactured.

Oh, one more thing on the little green machine: As others have stated here (and elsewhere), because of another poor design feature, it's nearly impossible to get out all the wastes, including slime, fuzz, dirt, mold, bacteria, pee, feces and/or whatever else you sucked into this machine. To make matters worse, the filthy collection of waste water leaks into the bottom of the machine tray (outside of the holding tank). Bottom line here: If you're a science teacher or microbiologist, I'd recommend purchasing this machine. It has the potential to be a terrific science project or can serve as a novel research project re how to best incubate and propagate an unusual mix of symbiotic micro-organisms. Whatever you do, be sure NOT to use the machine shortly before company comes for dinner. Although this little machine's suction "sucks" (does a poor job), it is most effective at blowing/venting out some amazing, noxious odors from the accummulated biological wastes in the holding tank. The smell is akin to an unsanitized porta-potty on a hot and humid summer day in the tropics.

THE GOOD?: When company vomits from the foul odors emitted from your little green machine, you can quickly suck up the vomitus with your little machine, adding it to the ongoing experiment in the holding tank! Now, ain't that handy?

Own It and Like It July 16, 2008
My husbadn and I own this and my husband is using it as I type this review. I really like it. It's easy to use and does a great job at removing stains in carpeting as well as the futon mattress as we are discovering right now. Our male cat is having issues and decided that the futon was as good as the litter box. The Little Green machine is taking out the urine stains plus the smell. It's taking some elbow grease in which my husband is more suited for, but it's working. We are not having any issues with dirty water leaking or not being able to empty and clean it sufficiently between uses. I recommend this machine for the price and the portablity of it.

Great Job Cleaning - Machine itself is difficult to clean July 12, 2008
We bought this product because we have an elderly cat, who gets ALOT of hairballs. It does a fantastic job cleaning our light beige carpet from these nasty little messes....but I am truley disappointed that I cannot take the machine completely apart to clean it. I cannot find instructions anywhere on how to disassemble the machine to clean it. We've had it for a little over a year and a half now and after we use it, and do all the things the instructions tell us to do to keep the hose and parts clean, it still gets moldy ! YUCK. I think that is the reason why on the newer models of this machine Bissell choose to make the hose green colored, instead of the clear hose like the older machines have, becuase they don't want you too see the mold growing. I wouldn't recommend this machine based on the mold factor.
