Bissell Little Green HydroSteam vs BISSELL Little Green Carpet Cleaner

Both are Bissell Little Green portables with 48 oz dual tanks, 15-foot cords, no wheels and similar weight, so the choice comes down to cleaning modes and tools. The HydroSteam adds a heated steam mode and three cleaning modes for oily, set-in and pet stains, and owners say it pulls odors and old stains out of couches and rugs. The Multi-Purpose 1400B is the long-running model with far more owner feedback and includes the HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool and a spraying crevice tool. Buy the HydroSteam for stubborn, greasy or smelly messes; buy the Multi-Purpose for routine spots and easier hose cleanup.

• Choose the Bissell Little Green HydroSteam if you deal with set-in, oily or pet-odor stains and want a heated steam mode plus three cleaning modes.
• Choose the Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose if you want the proven, widely owned Little Green with the HydroRinse self-cleaning hose and crevice tool for everyday spots.
