Disappointed
The parts break very easily & little pieces come apart so it doesn’t work properly. I hadn’t even had this thing for a month before the tiny suction pieces went missing and it never worked the same…hate it, a waste of money & it never pulled the light stains out my couch,

Hi Kasey — we’re sorry to hear about your experience, especially so soon after purchase. Parts should not break or go missing that quickly, and we understand how frustrating that is when it affects performance. Making sure all attachments are securely connected can help, but this sounds like something our team should review. Please contact us at support.bissell.com so we can help make this right.

Excellent results
I used the odor control and am very happy with the results. The smell, which had been on my carpet for a few years, disappeared. I'm delighted with the power of this little machine. It is very simple to use and easy to clean. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

The little machine that could.
Great machine for getting those hard stains out from carpet to your couch. My roommate spilled coke zero on our couch and I wasn’t stressed because I knew I had the perfect machine to get it out.

Exceeded expectations
I purchased this in a bit of a panic, as my cat had thrown up quite a bit of food on my bedroom rug. I was worried it was already getting dry by the time I got home to clean it. This little unit exceeded my expectations and cleaned the spot perfectly. Very happy with the purchase, as I was able to cancel the carpet cleaners I had scheduled. I also like how Bissell foundation supports pet shelters and adoptions.

Leaks
Good suction and does the job. But it leaked from the bottom where the clean water/solution reservoir is. Didn’t even get to use it more than once. And by “it leaked,” I mean there was a literal puddle under the machine. I even held the hose up for a bit after using it to ensure no water would leak from the hose. I’d recommend going with a different brand

We’re sorry to hear about the leaking you experienced—especially after such limited use. Sometimes reseating the clean water/solution reservoir so it’s fully locked can help prevent leaks. If the issue continues, please reach out to our BISSELL support team at support.bissell.com for assistance. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Do Not Recommend
After using Bissell products for years, I am saddened to say this was very disappointing. The suction is very poor, and the self-cleaning function leaks. To add, I would not consider a tool self-cleaning when you still have to manually clean it. The scrub bristles grab pet hair, but if you do not manually remove it right away, it will fall off as you’re cleaning. I like the portability of it, but that’s all. I would not recommend this product, especially not for the price.

Hi Corey — we’re sorry to hear this was disappointing, especially after years of trusting BISSELL products. Poor suction and leaking can sometimes be related to airflow or tank seating, and pet hair buildup may need a quick rinse during use to improve results. We’d appreciate the chance to help troubleshoot or review options with you at support.bissell.com. Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback.

Leaking water
1 reply from Bissell Team team - 2 months ago
Hi Doug, we’re sorry to hear about the leaking—that’s definitely frustrating. With the BISSELL Little Green Max, leaks are often caused by the tank or cap not being fully seated, so double-checking those connections may help. If the issue continues, our BISSELL support team can assist with troubleshooting or warranty options at support.bissell.com. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Save your money
Don’t buy this. Mine stopped working after 3 months. Only used it occasionally on minor stains and eventually it started leaking. Instead of the water coming out of the hose, it just leaked out of the bottom.
1 reply from Bissell Team team - 2 months ago
Hi Alexandria, we’re sorry to hear this and appreciate you sharing your experience. Leaking can sometimes happen if a hose connection or internal seal isn’t seated properly, but a machine stopping after only a few months isn’t expected. We recommend reaching out to BISSELL support so our team can help with troubleshooting or warranty options at support.bissell.com. Thank you for letting us know.

Portable Pet Cleaner
This works SO well for smaller areas. I used it for an area that my shampoo cleaner couldn’t reach closer to the wall to clean up cat urine and it worked so well. It kind of leaks water around the tube part and I have to dry that part of it after using but still worked very well while using and wasn’t leaking while in use.

The cleaner was leaking the whole time it was being used.
1 reply from Bissell Team team - 2 months ago
Hi Kayla, we’re sorry to hear the machine was leaking during use—that’s definitely not the experience we want for you. Leaking can sometimes be caused by a loose or misaligned tank, but we understand how frustrating this can be. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and recommend contacting BISSELL support at support.bissell.com so they can help resolve this for you.

Powerful yet so easy to use
This is an amazing little machine! It is small and lightweight enough to be easily portable all over the house, even when the canister(s) are loaded with liquid (cleaning solution or waste water), yet powerful enough to deal with nasty messes. I got this because I have a new puppy who was having problems with training; lots of indoor urine messes on the carpet. I had used other enzymatic products, which prevented stains, but I couldn’t abide the scent, and could still catch a whiff of the original urine. I first used this Little Green Max to re-treat the old spots and it completely removed the odors of both the old urine and the overlaid chemicals: after a few days, you couldn’t tell anything had happened, even if you put your nose right down on the carpeting. Puppy has been successfully house trained, but now we are dealing with inappropriate chewing, and times where he eats objects that don’t agree with his digestion. I’ve had three early-morning instances of vomiting (one stick, and two hunks of plastic) and because this machine is so quick and easy to set up and use, dealing with the liquified portion of the vomit is a breeze. The vacuum is extremely powerful, better than my household vacuum, and it is so easy to not only set up and use, but cleaning the machine itself is simple. The best part may be the fact that you can use the “self clean” to rinse out the tubing and nozzle. No lingering smells in the machine itself! I love this product and consider it an essential tool in my cleaning arsenal.

Missing parts and used product !!!
Product was boxed perfectly looked brand new. But vacuum heads missing and bottle of urine cleaner was used and cap still on. Disappointed and wasted lots of time!!!

Sorry to hear it arrived with missing parts and a used formula bottle. That’s incredibly frustrating, especially when the packaging looked new. We’d like to help make this right by getting you the complete items you should have received. Please reach out to us at support.bissell.com so our team can assist you.

Not worth it for small messes we got it for
I’m not sold on this. We have a cat who has the usually cat vomiting issues and this removes maybe 80-90% of the stain from carpets. I would say that’s great but it’s a hassle to lug this thing out fill it up and use, followed by cleaning all the parts. If it was just pulling it out using and putting it back I’d love it. The worst part is trying to leave it out for days to dry after using and rinsing all the parts. We store it in a closet that started to smell. Turns out it’s this machine maybe not drying all the way in the hoses? It smells musty and I worry about mold. I really wanted to love this but For small messes it’s just not really worth it to me.
