We own an upright Bissell 'Quickwash' carpet deep cleaner which is superb, but it had one major problem, it could not easily cope with stair carpets. To sort this out we bought a Bissell 'Little Green Clean Machine'.It is brilliant as it is so light and portable.It has more than enough power and is very easy to use.The carpet is now as clean as new, which is really saying something if you had seen the carpet before we cleaned it.This machine can also be used for cleaning car interiors, furniture and any spills that occur around the home.The Little Green comes with a bottle of cleaning solution so it is ready to use.The only negative thing I have found, is the flex could do with being a couple of metres longer in order to cope well with stairs. But having said that, it cleans a carpet very well and leaves it nearly dry.The Little Green has two bottles on it, one that dispenses the cleaning fluid and one that collects the dirty water.Both bottles are easy to fill and empty.When you have finished your cleaning, the Little Green is very simple to clean and store, and if you have some cleaning solution left over, you can leave it in the machine ready for the next time. This is a very handy and versatile cleaning machine.
