Q: What's the difference between the Little Green Select and the original Little Green? A: The select comes with larger 6" Tough Stain Tool and 8 oz trial size of BISSELL PRO OXY Spot & Stain formula.

A couple sets up their dog with a special wheelchair, which allows the pooch to roam around the house freely. Bissell encourages both the dog and the people, saying there is nothing they can't do, and with the little green pet pro, likely nothing they can't keep clean in the house.

Power

We recommend the Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner 1400B for occasional cleanups. If you face frequent messes and are willing to sacrifice some cleaning power for a slightly better-appointed (and more-expensive) machine, the Bissell Little Green Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner 2891 will do the job.

The great thing about the Little Green Machine is that it's portable and easy enough to tuck away in your cleaning closet. The downside is its small stature makes it hard to use when it comes to large surfaces. While I liked using it to spot-clean my couch as needed, using it to clean an area rug was a total drag.

In one spot, we meet Noodles, a cat who knows how to make a mess with ninja-like reflexes. In another, a chihuahua-Jack Russell mix, Norman, is adept at getting dirt on the floor. In both spots, the beloved pets get their messes cleaned by Bissell machines.

LIFE IN THE DOG HOUSE LIFE IN THE DOG HOUSE tells the inspiring life stories of Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta and the remarkable work they do at Danny & Ron's Rescue.

It definitely takes a couple of passes to get all the dirty water out, but it's worth it. If you've got a simple, fresh stain this cleaner should handle it without an issue. Of course, it removes tough stains and embedded dirt much, much better if you supplement it with other tough stain tools.

After testing six models, we still recommend the Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner 1400B. If you face frequent messes, consider Bissell's Little Green Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner 2891.

Main Information

20-minute The Bissell Powerlifter ION vacuum has about a 20-minute vacuuming life cycle before it needs recharging, which has a LED light that flashes to warn you. I like that it holds charge for next use. Dust bin is small but adequate if emptied after every use.
