Hoover CleanSlate Pet Spot Cleaner vs BISSELL Little Green Carpet Cleaner

Buy the BISSELL Little Green if you want the proven, widely owned spot cleaner with a bigger tank and a strong track record. Buy the Hoover CleanSlate if you have large carpeted stairs or big spills and want the 7-inch WidePath tool to cover them in fewer passes. Both are corded portable extractors with self-cleaning hose tools and dual tanks. Owners rate the Little Green well (4.4 from over 1,600 ratings); the CleanSlate is the lighter, wider-tool alternative.

• Choose the Hoover CleanSlate if you clean big carpeted stairs or large spills and want a 7-inch wide tool plus a TightSpot tool for edges.
• Choose the BISSELL Little Green if you want a compact, well-reviewed spot cleaner with a larger tank and a 15-foot cord for cars, upholstery and small stains.
