BISSELL Little Green Mini Portable Carpet Cleaner vs Bissell Little Green Pet Deluxe

Both are corded Bissell spot cleaners with 3-amp motors and 48-ounce tanks, so the core job is the same. The Little Green Pet Deluxe (3353) is the stronger pick for pet owners: it ships with the Tough Stain Tool, Stain Trapper Tool and HydroRinse self-cleaning hose, and its 4.5-foot hose reaches a little further. The Mini is the lighter, more compact machine and the one reviewers call easiest to carry and store, but its tool set is thinner and its bold green finish splits opinion. Buy the Pet Deluxe for pets and tools; buy the Mini for tight storage and quick everyday spills.

• Choose the Bissell Little Green Mini if you want the smallest, lightest spot cleaner to stash in a closet or cabinet and mostly handle fresh spills on carpet and upholstery.
• Choose the Bissell Little Green Pet Deluxe if you have pets, want the Stain Trapper and HydroRinse tools, and need a longer hose to reach stairs and car interiors.
