Product Description
BISSELL 14005 LITTLE Green Compact Multi-Purpose Cleaner with TurboBrush
Amazon.com
If you have a white carpet you want to protect, the Little Green carpet cleaner should be stashed in your closet for emergency cleanups. This portable cleaner doesn't replace regular carpet cleanings but is excellent for spot-cleaning carpets in the event of an accidental spill. The lightweight Little Green weighs only 13 pounds for easy traveling to rooms, staircases, or auto interiors to clean up a variety of messes, including pet stains, spilled food or drinks, and muddy footprints. In addition, the cleaner has a flexible vacuum hose and a long power cord that stretches to almost 15 feet long to provide ample reach along the stairs or in vehicles. The Little Green's stain-removing action is superior to store-bought chemical cleaners as it lifts the stain up with its suction before it sets in; other cleaners require you to rub the stain with a cloth and push it farther down into the carpet. The cleaner uses a combination of Bissell's special deep cleaning formula and hot tap water to pre-treat stains. The solution tank is easy to remove and fill and slides back onto the unit with no problems. A wide and strong spray path spreads the cleaning formula over the stain and, after a little scrubbing with the stain brush tool (which fits on the end of the cleaner's hose), the cleaner suctions up the stain and dries the carpet in one step. Dirty water collects in the back of the Little Green in another tank that is equally as easy to remove and rinse clean. This compact multipurpose cleaner is safe on most carpets and upholstery and stores easily in a closet or under a sink until it's required for a spill. The Little Green comes with an 8-ounce sample of Bissell's Little Green deep-cleaning formula and is covered by Bissell under a limited one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Doesn't work November 30, 2008
Callisto (Virginia)
I bought the Little Green machine new. I used it twice, once to clean a spot on an area rug and once to clean car upholstery. The next time I tried to use it the machine would not turn on. No power at all. I changed outlets. Still no power. Tried the switch several different times. No juice. It is absolutely ridiculous that a new product can only be used twice before it breaks. The machine I have was never dropped or abused in any manner. It was cleaned carefully after each use and store properly indoors. If this is how Bissell creates products then I'll never buy from them again.
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

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
M. Grinnell (Millbury, MA USA)
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.
