Because of the high rating and positive reviews, I thought I'd give the Little Green Proheat a try on my dingy stairs. They have been professionally cleaned with mediocre results. To my surprise, they look amazing after just one cleaning. My off-white carpet looks 90 percent better and feels clean and soft again.. Though the suction is not incredible, with a bit of elbow grease, you can extract most of the water, leaving the carpet just a little damp. It was shocking but very satisfying to see the amount of dirt that came out in the water! I'm sure with another cleaning, the stairs may look close to new after 20 years. Note that this machine does not actually heat the water but retains its temperature. I started with hot tap water and it stayed hot for the entire cleaning (using the maximum fill line, which did six stairs). My only complaint is that the hose material is not very flexible, so I can foresee the problem that others have had with cracking at the base.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am SO HAPPY I tried this carpet cleaner! We have carpet in our home, and with a dog and a toddler we have our fair share of messes. This carpet cleaner is compact (and cute!) but packs a lot of punch in its little frame! I was so impressed on how well this worked to clean up small messes (dog accidents and toddler spills) but it was also manageable to clean a large area of carpet. It is small and lightweight so it is easy to carry, use, and store. The package comes with everything you need to get started. So impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the little green for about 6 months. It works great for what I need it to do. However, the way that the hose wraps around and attaches when storing, it causes the hose to rip easily. It snaps on the back at a very tight angle putting stress on the hose. The hose isn't apart of the warranty so Bissell won't do anything!

I really like this cleaner for my couch. My daughter got sick on my couch and I cleaned the couch the best I could. There was still a really bad smell on the couch. I went to the store and bought this machine. This machine did are really good job cleaning the smell and stains off my couch. It also cleaned some hard ground in stains of our carpet. I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this product. So I can only speak to first impressions and so far I have only used it on my cream colored couch. So first things first, I will try this on carpet and maybe it works a little better but I think Proheat should be removed from the name. There is no heat, no warmth, the water is cold/lukewarm at best. Most of the reason I wanted this product was due to that factor. Your essentially spraying on cleaner then using a wet dry vac to suck it up. The suction is also extremely poor. You would think a vacuum company would at least be able to do that. The design is also poor. Either wheels should have been added or it should have been designed to be less bottom heavy. Every time you move it slightly while cleaning it topples over. Not a big deal, but definitely a design flaw that could have been easily corrected. I have been cleaning since the age of 8. I have cleaned professionally and take great joy in cleaning personally. I would not recommend this product to anyone. They were almost there but not quite.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to clean my puppy accidents. I used it a handful of times and today I notice the hose broke for no reason, in less than a year. It has a very small reservoir and a dirt water dispenser. It says the spot will not come back, but it a hit or miss, there was few spots that came back on my carpet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product hard to use when cleaning upholstery. I was trying to do a spot clean, but ended up needing to do the entire surface of the bench. It took a little longer than anticipated to soak up all of the water. I do really like how lightweight it is, and it's a great tool to use when needing to clean spots inside my vehicle - especially when i have lots of kids that spill things on the seats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for "pro heat" thinking it would heat the water, not just take hot water you provide which other products do. "Heatwave Technology"? Yeh right. Marketing crap. Do not buy if expecting to have some type of heating with it. Waste of my time. Very upset I have to go return this now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hose breaks. Seems to be a known issue based on the manufacturer responses. The hose doesn't seem to be long enough to put it away. Or it shrinks with use. Either way, ridiculous and frustrating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second one of these machines that I purchased. The hoses on both of them split and made the machine unusable. After the first one broke, I wrote to the company and they sent me out a new one. But, this one also had the same issues as the first one.
