Amazon.com Review
A powerful mini steam-vac, the Little Green turbo compact multipurpose cleaner from Bissell uses hot water and a cleaning agent to eliminate both deep-down dirt and surface spills. Designed for use on carpet, upholstery, automobile seats, and more, the Little Green disperses and sucks up cleansing solution in one swipe across the dirty surface. The machine stores water and soap in separate compartments, blends them for dispersal, and recovers them together into a dirty water tank. An optional built-in heater with indicator light keeps hot water heated during cleaning. The unit features a built-in hose with a solution trigger, a tough-stain tool, and a TurboBrush with its own powered brush roll. The hose wraps around the base, and the power cord stores on quick-release hooks on the body. The tanks are easy to remove, fill, and replace, and the machine can be stored ready to use. Bissell includes an 8-ounce starter bottle of cleaning solution to get you started. --Emily Bedard

 Are the negative reviews coming from Dirt Devil employees? November 18, 2008

I got a Bissell Little Green with both the heat and the turbo brush options.
I got this item on Freecycle, so you can be sure it's seen a lot of use.
When I first hooked it up and filled up the cleaner tank, all that happened was cleaner running out the bottom of the unit. (I did mention it was free, right?) I took off the bottom and saw that a plastic nipple had broken, so I super-glued it.
I refilled the cleaner tank and set about cleaning the grimy muck that passes for carpet in this place.
Imagine you rented a house to people who never swept, never mopped, never vacuumed, and certainly never cleaned a carpet. Imagine they lived in your house for six years.
That's the carpet I had to clean. And sure, I should have called professionals, or rented a Rug Doctor, but I wanted to see what the Green Machine could do.
So I'll hit some points I saw in negative reviews when I was browsing here earlier:
HEATER - Yes, it heats the water. Yes, it gets hot. Hot enough to burn your hand. The wather is far hotter than any water I've ever gotten to come out of a Rug Doctor.
Turbo Brush - This thing clearly suffers from being given the wrong name. The brush does not spin very fast, so I can see why people might balk at calling it a Turbo Brush. I'm pretty sure, however, that they mean you can use it to turbo-charge your cleaning power. With the brush in spin-mode, it does about ten times the work of a non-rotating brush (you know the one with the plastic handle you keep under the sink near your can of Resolve...). When you use the spinning brush in combination with the spray, this thing demolishes the toughest ground-in crap I've ever seen in a carpet. I found the Turbo Brush to be just the tool for scrubbing out the gunk and crust that was in this carpet.
Regular Brush/Sprayer - While the Turbo Brush was great for scrubbing, I preferred the smaller brush/sprayer for both applying and sucking up cleaner. The sprayer has a wider pattern (something someone complained about in another review... I have no idea what they're thinking.) and it also sucks up more water than the Turbo does. Not only that, but the design of it gets some of the stickier mess out of the carpet pile as you rub it back and forth sucking up water.
This machine is clearly designed for handling smaller jobs - drink spills, muddy footprints, and when your 2 yr. old poops on the floor. Since I was cleaning a much bigger area, I think it's entirely fair that my back hurts and I used an entire bottle of Little Green cleaner to do about 50 sq. ft. of carpet. The cleaner tank holds enough fluid to do about a 4 ft. by 4 ft. square before you have to refill. You can do that three times before you have to empty it.
The carpet in this dump actually looks presentable now. I don't think anything I type here can fully describe the difference between how it looked before and how it looks now. I was pretty sure the only option was to replace the carpet. But now it can stay.
If that's a how a beat-to-death, broken, Freecycled machine works, I'm sure a brand-new one would be even better.
 Just a matter of time before it fails...so don't waste your money! September 22, 2008

Well, I liked this thing for about a year. It did it's job. But now that it has failed, and I saw how many people suffer from the same problem, I felt compelled to write a negative review in hopes of preventing someone else out there from wasting their money on this piece of garbage.
Pros (when it's working):
Cleans well (expecially with Bissel branded cleaning solutions).
Sprays,
Heats water,
and extracts water fairly painlessly.
Easy to clean.
Compact (it fit easily under my bathroom vanity).
Cons:
The "TURBOBRUSH" is useless. It is powered by the vacuum suction, which means when you apply any pressure whatsoever to get "down and deep" with the scrubber, it just won't scrub.
I also found it frustrating that when I was pressing on the brush in "suction mode" (the opposite of "brush mode") the little toggle switch would move forward into the "brush mode" thereby eliminating suction and forcing me to stop, press the stitch back, and continue. This happens repeatedly if you use any force whatsoever as you're trying to remove as much of the moisture as possible.
The spray pattern of the regular brush is far to wide. unless you're holding it about a milimeter from the carpet surface you're looking at a 2' wide arc of spray. Needless to say, that's pointless when you're trying to remove "spots".
The spray function WILL fail (not if, WILL). Just look at some of the reviews to see what I'm talking about. Either the water pump itself will burn out, or the heating element will clog. Either failure results in non-spray. Go ahead and try calling Bissel for help, and let me know how that turns out (sarcasm). Obviously without the heated spray function this thing is nothing more than a glorified compact wet/dry vac. I'm gonna keep it for cleaning up spots, but I'll have to use a manual sprayer to apply the solution.
In the end, don't waste your money on this. Try out a Dirt Devil or Hoover equivalent, you'll probably have more luck.

I really like this machine for doing carpeted steps; it is great for picking up dog hair from the carpet.
I certainly endorse this product.
 Works very well September 8, 2008

Purchased this to clean the carpets in my car and furniture. It has work well on both accounts. I had some problem with power scrubber but it seems to be working fine
Bissell Little Green Proheat Turbo cleaner is a real pro..... September 5, 2008

Bissell 1425B Little Green Proheat Turbo Carpet Cleaner
I purchased the Bissell 1425B Little Green Proheat Turbo Carpet Cleaner because I needed something to clean my sofa. My daughter has 2 puppies and one of them had an accident on my sofa. I also have cats and one of them got sick an the sofa. I am also the mother of 5 kids so needless to say things have been spilled on the sofa. The Proheat Turbo worked amazing it saved me from having to buy a new couch.
It cleans terrific and dried in just a few hours. I DO NOT REGRET BUYING THIS PRODUCT.
The only reason this product got 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is very difficult to clean the back of the sofa because the machine leaks if you hold the brush up/down, but on flat surfaces it is a must for pet owners and parents.
