Is the Little Green good for pet stains?

Yes. It is one of the most common picks for pet accidents: it sprays formula into the stain and extracts the dirty liquid, which owners say removes both the mark and the smell better than blotting alone.

Can it clean a whole room of carpet?

Not practically. It is a spot cleaner with a small tank and hose; for full rooms a full-size carpet extractor is the better tool.

Does it work on car interiors?

Yes, on seats, mats and carpet. The short hose means you may need to move the unit around the car as you work.

Do I have to use BISSELL formula?

BISSELL recommends its own formulas, which are made for the machine. Other carpet cleaning solutions can be used, but check they are low-foaming to avoid excess suds.

How does it compare with a full-size carpet cleaner?

It is smaller, lighter and easier to store, and better for spots and upholstery. A full-size machine has a longer hose, bigger tanks and stronger suction for whole rooms.

Our take on the BISSELL Little Green Portable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner

The BISSELL Little Green is a compact spot cleaner for carpets, upholstery and car interiors. It sprays cleaning solution and vacuums it back up through a hose and a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool, so it handles pet accidents, spills and set-in stains that a vacuum alone can't lift. It is a spot tool, not a whole-room carpet cleaner: the small tank and hose suit targeted messes, and it is easier to store and carry than a full-size extractor. Owners rate it highly for pet stains and car seats, though some find the tank small for larger jobs and the hose short for reaching deep into a car.
