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.

Doesnt work well
This spits out water when it should steam (even after priming) or it won’t release any steam at all and just water. Also your forearm will hurt from squeezing the button so hard. Didn’t work well in shower, on upholstery, or tile. Total waste of money

Hi Mark, we’re sorry the HydroSteam Pet isn’t producing consistent steam and that using the trigger is uncomfortable. That’s not the experience we want for you, and these issues can usually be fixed with a quick troubleshooting step or a part check. Please reach out to us at support.bissell.com so we can help get this working properly for you.

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!!!

They sent me a used machine.
I bought this online and when it delivered, there is no tape on the box. When I open the box, I saw the cleaner and everything are outside the nilon bag, there is no instruction book in it, and the machine is already in used condition, there is lots of dirty water in it.

Hi Kevin, we’re very sorry your Little Green HydroSteam arrived opened and in used condition—that’s disappointing and shouldn’t happen with a new purchase. Since this order came from Target, their customer support can help with a replacement or return. Please reach out to Target so they can make this right for you.

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

Van Mom Must Have
I’ve owned this Bissell HydroSteam for a couple of weeks. I’ve used it 4 times already! The carpet clean is good. I use the carpet clean/steam combo and stains have gotten out well. I haven’t had to carpet clean much yet, but the hydrosteam is AMAZING! Mom of a 4yr old boy who can’t hold his bladder in the car. The hydro steam gets hot enough, not boiling, but hot enough to get up car seat gunk and make my rubber mats look brand new. I also used the hydro steam for cleaning my bathroom. I used a microfiber cloth to dry the counters etc. afterwards. My husband was so impressed with the turnout. I will post an updated review with video the next time I use it.

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.

Store review only: Terrible quality control and customer service
Review of the store, not the machine. Sold me a used, dirty machine missing parts and no detergent. Box wasn’t sealed. Customer service is seriously lacking at this target.

Bought a new one and it was already used.
I opened the box this morning, and realized it was used and dirty and the detergent was missing. I am gonna return it. Unacceptable.

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.

Thanks for your detailed feedback, Eric. We're glad you found the hose self-cleaning and suction power helpful. We're sorry to hear about the design concerns—especially the exhaust placement and wand usability. Your insights are valuable and help us improve future models. For troubleshooting or suggestions that may help, please reach out to support.bissell.com.

Used item
I was sent a used one with water still in the reservoir.
1 reply from Bissell Team team - 5 months ago
It's possible the water is from product testing prior to shipping, but we recommend contacting Target’s customer support to request a replacement or refund if you are unhappy. Please reach out to BISSELL anytime if we can assist you as well!

Great little steam carpet cleaner
I really like the size and performance of this portable steam carpet cleaner. It works wonders for small jobs on carpet and on tile, too.

I Am Beyond Thrilled
I just got this product and mostly to clean my area rug and spot messes on the floor. What is great about it? I have been on hand and knees with scrub brush, Used the clean and vacs, rented rug cleaners and never has my area rug gotten clean. Heavy traffic areas are just as dirty and dingy. I finally threw up my hands and got this little portable steam cleaner. My area rug looks fantastic. Colors are alive. Light color are not dingy but, bright. It's so wonderful to see this after the steaming and cleaning. And it did not take that long. It was alot fun emptying the black water knowing it is not in my carpet now. Not so great - It would be nice to have a long hard tube you can use to do work standing up - like cleaning a large area. You ask who is the primary mess maker - it's equal parts husband, and pets. And I contribute especially during gardening season

Disgusting
Sold used at the store. Missing attachments and absolutely filthy. Waste of time.

We’re really sorry to hear this happened, NMOT—that’s incredibly disappointing and not the experience we want anyone to have. BISSELL doesn’t sell used machines directly through retailers, so we recommend returning it to the store where it was purchased. If you need help identifying what should have been included, visit support.bissell.com and we’ll guide you through it.

Should be more hearty for the price
It’s ok at first .. but only for light duty jobs…. The hose seems to get clogged up very easily and if stops working entirely
