Web ID: 17109104Bring Back the Spot Bot
I've only used it once and it did a fine job. I bought it as a replacement for a Spot Bot, since they don't make the Spot Bot anymore, sadly. I would've rather had a Spot Bot since you could just place it over the stain and it did the work. With this product I have to get down on my knees and lean over the mess and use elbow grease to rub the stain. And there's a hose, unlike with the Spot Bot, that the mess has to travel through, so you wonder about how disgusting that is getting inside. Please, please, bring back the Spot Bot.

Very poor cleaning results!!
Save your money. The so-called “steam” feature is not steam. It’s barely a warm mist. If you’re expecting anything close to actual steam cleaning power, you’ll be very disappointed. The unit sprays lukewarm moisture that does nothing to loosen stains, odors, or ground-in messes. For the price, this is a huge letdown. A standard Little Green without the “HydroSteam” gimmick performs just as well, if not better. The steam feature feels like marketing fluff added to justify a higher price tag. I tried this on multiple spots and upholstery with the same result every time: minimal cleaning power and a lot of wasted effort. If you’re dealing with pet messes or tough stains, this machine will not deliver. Bottom line: overpriced, underpowered, and misleadingly advertised. Don’t waste your money!!!

Disappointed
This machine leaks all over every time I use it, very difficult to empty all water out of the machine and hose after use prior to putting back in storage. I would not recommend. Makes more work for me. I will most likely throw mine away. Owned for four months.

Buy a Bundle but don't get the Bundle
I bought the Little Green HydroSteam Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner during the holidays and there were a ton of combo deals if you buy the cleaner you would also get a regular steamer. That did not come with the carpet cleaner for my purchase despite my clicking on that option. I have used the carpet cleaner already and it works as expected. I am pleased with it just not with the the bundle purchase that did not include the bundled equipment

Good machine but have patience for the task
Stain cleaning is not for the weak, but it works! I had a Gatorade stain in a medium to light color rug that is a medium semi plush height. There are high gloss hard wood floors underneath. The stain was about the size of an 8 1/4” round plate and used the entire sample bottle of product that was sent. The longer you can let the product soak into the stain the better but I was worried because of the hardwood floors, so that made it a little difficult. I had to scrub a bit with the scrubber brush disconnected from the device so as not to suction the product too fast. The machine does the job, but I had to figure it out and problem solve. I wish the library of sample videos was a bit more expansive to show various types of materials being cleaned realistically. I want to know how much labor and time is expected for the job based on the machine I have.

Does a decent job but one big design flaw
Does a reasonable job of cleaning but if feels like it didn’t get a lot of testing before release. There are improvements over older models but plenty of things that could be better. I like that everything is easily cleanable, including the hose self-cleaning feature; big improvement over an upright model I have, and the vacuum seems adequately powerful. There are a bunch of areas where a little more thought would have made a big difference, as well as one major design flaw: - the main wand is awkward to hold without pressing the spray button, making dry passes often turn wet accidentally - the spray pattern is narrower than the vacuum nozzle, leaving carpets stripy unless you overlap passes a lot - the steam is fairly inconsistent, sometimes very strong, other times none at all - the hose is stiff and the wand only swivels about 45 degrees (which I assume is a limitation of having vacuum and solution channels) which makes holding the wand flat awkward - the power cord should be about 10cm shorter or longer - winding it around the posts relatively snugly leaves the plug right at one post, not clippable to the cord - there aren't enough storage points for all the attachments The biggest oversight is in the vacuum exhaust. The exhaust is on the flat bottom of the unit. This is fine on hard floors but when set on anything more than a very low carpet the exhaust is blocked, potentially reducing the machine’s effectiveness and causing overheating.

Response from BISSELL Homecare
We’re sorry your Little Green HydroSteam has leaked since day one and is now unusable. A leak through the pump area isn’t normal and usually means a part needs support under warranty. We appreciate you sharing this, and our team can help get it resolved at support.bissell.com.
