Q: can this clean an entire room, or just made to clean a small area or spot?
submitted by nicole - 1 month ago
A: Hi Nicole, great question! The BISSELL Little Green Max Pet is designed for spot and small area cleaning rather than full-room coverage. It’s perfect for tackling pet messes, spills, and stains on carpets, upholstery, and more—but for cleaning an entire room, a full-size carpet cleaner would be a better fit.

So happy I brought this. This is my first time ever getting a portable carpet cleaner. I used it and it works great. I just moved and had my things in storage. I got this to freshen everything up. It definitely did that. Even on old stains it came out mostly. It was worth the money plus I got it on sale. I don't have any pets, but I like the power it has.

We had a cat have an accident on our bed. We had to wait almost a week for our Bissell to arrive. But even with that we were able to get the stain and smell out with lots of soaking and using the machine very happy with the purchase excited to detail my girlfriend‘s car next.
Just buy it!

Bought this as a way to get the occasional pet messes cleaned up and save money. Works great! Very easy to use and to clean up afterwards. I used the recommended Bissell cleaner and it made my rug look like new. Highly recommend this small buddy for your fur babies misplaced messes.

I received my little green in just two days, wow! I tried it on my living room carpet that I tried cleaning with an upright carpet cleaner before. It was taking FOREVER and didn’t lift all the embedded dirt I was hoping it would. But with two passage and a brush to open the fiber of the rug it’s almost complety clean. And I find it more easy to use than the upright one. Very happy!

Not as good as the SpotBot

I bought this to replace a Bissell SpotBot, but was disappointed that the quality of the cleaning did not compare. The Little Green Max will get rid of easy stains, but set-in stains are a problem. My old SpotBot handled both stains without any issue. Now my carpet (which is a very light tan, so stains will be obvious) has stains that will need to be cleaned by a pro. I never had any lingering stains after using the SpotBot. Also, the SpotBot was all automated - set in on the stain, hit the button, and the machine completes the cycle. The Little Green Max is all manual, so be prepared to spend time on your hands and knees scrubbing and sweating. All I wanted was a replacement for the SpotBot, but what I got was a lot more work.

Thanks for your detailed feedback—we’re glad it’s helping with light stains, but we’re sorry it didn’t match your SpotBot’s performance. The SpotBot’s hands-free automation is definitely a standout feature, and we understand how much easier that made cleaning. If you’d like help getting the most out of your Little Green Max, feel free to reach out at support.bissell.com—we’re happy to help.

This little machine sucked the puppy pee stains right out of my white rug in one pass! It took me 5 mins to transform my rug from gross to almost perfect. It's also quiet enough that it didn't bother my puppy while using it. It was easy to assemble and I love that you can clean the brush head. There were only a couple small spots it wasn't able to completely eradicate--and had I used a pretreat or done a second pass, it might have gotten them. Super satisfied with the results. My only suggestion is to come out with a solution that has a more natural smell (is that possible? I would love if the detergent smelled like essential oils for example).
Highly recommend!

Not enough suction. Expected more in 2025, but still they are too weak to clean up perfectly like a commercial machine. Just use the car wash.
