Detailed Review: BISSELL Little Green
BISSELL Little Green 1400B Portable Cleaner
The core appeal of the Little Green is its portability and targeted cleaning power. By spraying a mixture of water and formula deep into fibers and vacuuming it right back up, it physically removes the dirt rather than just pushing it around.
Pros
- Incredible suction for its size
- Very satisfying to see the dirty water tank fill up
- Compact and easy to store in small closets
- Great for car interiors and stairs
Cons
- The hose could be slightly longer
- Cleaning the machine itself takes some effort
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular laundry detergent in the BISSELL?
No, it is highly recommended to use the official BISSELL formulas. Regular detergents can create too much foam, which can damage the machine's motor and leave a sticky residue on your fabrics.
Does it heat the water?
The standard Little Green 1400B model does not have an internal water heater. You should fill the clean water tank with hot (not boiling) tap water for the best results.
