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.

Sorry to hear your Little Green Max Pet is leaking—that shouldn’t happen. Leaks usually mean a seal or tank isn’t seated correctly, and our team can help you check that quickly. Please reach out to us at support.bissell.com so we can get this fixed for you.

I LOVE this Little Green Max Pet Portable Machine
I absolutely love this product! I live with 3 dogs and 2 cats and accidents happen. This little machine is so easy to pull out of the box, add cleaning solution to, and get the clean-up started. When done, clean up of the machine is oh so easy. I have used bigger carpet cleaners and smaller ones. The bigger ones are cumbersome and the smaller ones are big enough to do a thorough cleaning without having to refill and empty, etc. This machine is JUST RIGHT! I definitely recommend it!

Pretty bad
Pretty terrible. After my goldendoodle decided to have diahhrea on my rug, I purchased this product in hopes to clean it. After using it twice in one run, not only did I have my dogs remains everywhere but the dirty water of it since it spewed out of all openings. Do not recommend.

Handy little cleaner!
So far I have used this three times in the past month I’ve had it for. Between three kids and a puppy this will help me keep everything clean! I like the suction power, it has a nice stream for the solution/water to come out of. I do wish the tank was a bit bigger but I also understand this is more for spot cleaning. Overall it’s nice, the large fill and small fill options are nice. I also like that the tank shows how much water and solution to put in. Totally easy. The price while on sale was great too. I would buy this again!

Did not hold charge, practically new
Carpet Cleaner worked like a charm the first couple weeks of using it. We used it a total of maybe 4-5 times. Once the battery started to deplete, we put it on the charger but it would not charge it would drain the battery. We made sure it was the correct charger and even checked for damage on the charger itself and the carpet cleaner but they both looked in perfect condition. So disappointed that this carpet cleaner failed at so early. I feel like I wasted my money. We have 3 cats who tend to urinate outside the litter box when we are away and the carpet cleaner did a great job of cleaning up the smell and remove stains. Just didn’t last us that long.

Cheapest part is a fail; works okay otherwise
Most of the machine is fine, but the little plastic piece that’s supposed to secure the cleaning head to the hose is too far recessed to do its one job. So using the cleaner means I need a death grip on the cleaning head or else it gets pulled off the hose as I move the cleaning head back. Disappointing that probably the cheapest part on the machine adds a level of difficulty to its use.

Strong suctikn, great tools in this small but mighty machine.
I had been stalking this item for weeks. After spilling pickle juice in my car, I went to get it from Target where it was the best price. I was practically using it in the parking lot. Strong suction, great tools— and this has been used all over my house and is frequently borrowed by the neighbors.

Doesn’t work on throw rugs

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Nicole! The Little Green Max Pet is designed for cleaning carpet, upholstery, and similar surfaces—not throw rugs, which can shift during cleaning. We appreciate your note and hope it works well for other areas in your home!

Disappointed.
Broke within a year, has been leaking for months now. When it did work it was efficient at pulling stains & spraying. However very disappointed in how long it lasted, it was only used once every few months.

Sold Used dirty item!!!!
I just purchased this item today at my local target and when i opened it immediacy could tell it was used and returned!! This was sold at normal price not a clearance sale!! The tank that holds the dirty water still has disgusting dirty muddy water and buildup it wasn’t even washed out or cleaned. Also the 2nd brush attachment and bottle of cleaning solution weren’t even in the box clearly the person who bought it kept those in addition to using it and returning it in used dirty condition. Very upset! Simply opening the box when it was returned (which had extra tape) would have immediately shown the employees at this store the condition of this item when it was returned

Target gave me an used product
“I opened the box and immediately noticed the product had clearly been used, and it hadn’t even been cleaned before being resold. The Pet Pro Oxy Spot and Stain Cleaner bottle was partially used as well. Unfortunately, Target did not offer a replacement.
