I've had my Little Green Clean Machine for 15 years and have put it through some stuff, and it still works just fine. One tip for this machine is when you are done before you empty the dirty tank, go to the sink and let it suck up some clean water to flush out the dirty gunk still in the hose.
the little green has been around that long? I agree with rinsing it through with a bit of tap water though, I use my cleanview liftoff all the time and i'm always amazed at how much hidden filth it removes! another tip once i'm done using my cleaner, I save what is left of the mixed solution and chuck it into a 5L pressure sprayer. it saves simply pouring it down the drain, and it makes pre-treating carpets etcetera really easy. it also means that it's ready to go with a few quick pumps as soon as a spill occurs, leaving as little time as possible for a stain to take hold, and can potentially even neutralize the spill completely whilst you set up! (I've seen it neutralize a chocolate milk spill using the X2 pet strength, couldn't believe my damn eyes)
Totally agree about rinsing it with water! I think it actually says that in the manual, but who reads those?? I discovered that "trick" by watching youtube videos lol.
My wife and I recently purchased the little green machine- So when you uploaded this video I was worried that we made a bad choice... but like always because of your detailed test we are happy with our decision! Thanks for the post!
@j pizano @ Lidinator Help!!! I had a little green machine but it started leaking. I just kept using it and dealing with it. Eventually got old and was failing and had to get rid of it. Has anyone had any leaking problems with it since purchasing it? It’s the only thing stopping me from getting a new one and considering other options. Thought maybe I got a lemon. What has been your experiences so far? Any leaks or is that normal for all spot cleaners? Thanks everyone!
@@deedee2218 HI, we have never had issues with leaking. We really like our little green machine. We do only use it once a few months . So maybe frequency had to do with issues?
@@jpizano06 my frequency was about the same as yours. I bought my machine at Ollie’s believe it or not. That may explain things lol. Thanks for your response!
I have never liked that bissell powerbrush. I have seen horrible reviews on them. I much prefer a standard unit that I know will work. But another great video from you. And thanks for putting so much effort into your videos!
The idea is great but the height needs to be adjustable on the brush for more scrubbing power. Also, pet eraser needs better battery for better suction. They should just put a power brush on the little green machine. Maybe they should try a flat circular brush that spins horizontally. I got a brush attachment for my drill and that scrubs really good.
Not sure if you're interested in adding more tests, but one you could do is a set-stain padding test. Put a piece of padding under the carpet, let the carpet stain set, and then see how well it extracts the padding stain as well. One thing I've noticed with certain carpet cleaners is they're great at getting the carpet stain, but for those of us without the shielded premium padding, the stain will just reappear (sometimes worse) as the carpet drys because it comes up out of the padding. This can be really bad if you put a fan down to aid in drying.
I’ve become so obsessed with cleaning lately (brothers are fucking lazy) so I started looking at gadgets and ended up on this channel haha Havent stop watching it’s too satisfying watching things get clean
My cat and I are moving from an apartment with all hardwood floors (and a few area rugs) to a space that's fully carpeted (I'll put some rugs down anyway). Based on her history, I want something on hand even before we walk in. It actually came down to these two cleaners and I'm so glad I found this on YT. Decision made. Much appreciated!
While I truly love this channel, I think stuff labeled "Pet Stain" should be tested with more organic stains. I kept wondering how good the Pet eraser is for picking up vomit stains from cats in particular. (The type of stain I'm dealing 90% of the time) Still love watching!
What he didn’t talk about was cleanup of each machine. The Powerbrush is easier to clean and that makes a difference because often times people won’t use a wet vac if it’s a pain to clean.
Ive had the pet stain one for about 10 years ,in fact it’s purple on my model. It’s still working really good but I feel like I’ve lost half the attachments by now and it’s time to upgrade to the newest version. I was on the fence about buying the same thing considering that I like to detail my car from time to time and was considering the other ones. Good after this review definitely has reminded me that my old tried-and-true is still the best one on the market and I’ll be buying a new version. Thank you
I decided against this at the last minute! I'm glad I didn't buy it! I can't wait for your bissell spinwave robo review. I want to see your review before I return it.😊
I bought the power brush and here’s a few tips I’ve noticed that help a lot. As far as the only use their solution, sure if you use other solutions and it breaks that’s on you but I haven’t noticed an issue mixing my own. Also if you mix together a spot treat solution to put on the area before you go in with the machine and the solution inside you end up using less of their solution and it works a lot better. I typically use a few tbsp of oxiclean mixed with hot water as a pre treat.
We just purchased the bissell big green and love it! We are wanting a spot remover for smaller spills and messes. Thank you for the detailed video as I know have made my mind on which one to purchase!
I've used a cordless Bissell Pet Stain Eraser, but don't think it had the power brush. It was 'meh'. Convenient, yes, but for cleaning pet stains? I don't think so. My go-to device when I had carpeting was a small shopvac. Soak the area with some sort of enzymatic pet stain solution and suck it out with the shop vac. But for carpet + pad, even that wasn't ideal. Best solution if one has pets and the inevitable pet accidents that go along with it? No carpeting! If I have to choose between carpet and my pets, my pets win every time!
I feel like you should compare this to Bissell’s other cordless models and compare the little Green to Bissell’s other corded models because they are so different and should be used for different things.
Thanks for the video. I recently bought A buses spot clean pro pet, and is a nightmare the hose broke in the 5 time of use. It started liking from the tank. I would try this mini green biased for sure. Thanks again
Would love to see a head to head with the Bissell pet stain eraser and the Black& Decker spill buster. 👀👀 Also testing something like dried spaghetti sauce on a hard surface would be valuable for people with hard floors and countertops. Not everyone looking for a vacuum has carpet 😉 Great channel, very thorough!! 💙🙌🏼😄🙌🏼💙
I do what car detailers do and use a soft drill brush and Folex or diluted APC. If you’re nervous about using a power tool on upholstery I still use the same products but agitate with a old fashioned upholstery brush. I use the Bissell Little Green for simple extraction to remove all the dirty water and solution .
My solution to spot cleaning is a Milwaukee cordless shop vacuum. If you already have Milwaukee stuff you might already have a battery and charger; if you have to buy everything it will be expensive. But it combines cordless convenience with real power (the Milwaukee M18 battery is strong). I keep spray bottles ready to go with my preferred cleaning solution (Quick 'n Brite) and when there is a mess, I spray, let it sit, scrub with a brush, then vacuum up the liquid with the shop vac. The shop vac leaves the carpet nearly dry. This works well for me. (We have two cats and they have hairballs from time to time so a convenient solution was important to me.)
I should add that I like to rinse the carpet with water and vacuum that up too. The Milwaukee shop vac can hold two gallons in its bin. Also I rinse out the hose after cleaning up pet messes because I don't want anything that could spoil left in the hose.
There's also the option of using a drill brush in combination with the little green and with that it would be light years above the powerbrush in cleaning ability
I have the older Bissell Pet Stain Eraser, and it leaks. And I had 2 of them and they both leaked. If you leave the cleaner in the machine and come back after a week or two, the level will be down and you'll have a spot where the stain eraser was sitting. I wonder if they solved that issue in this new refresh I'd be interesting in see more 'stain removal' comparisons. And it would really nice is Dyson entered the market.
I bought a Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro, and a set of drill brushes. Scrubbing is a pain, and the drill brushes are so versatile and really make a difference in stain removal. I think part of the problem with the PowerBrush is how small that suction opening is. The width of the machine is misleading and not very corner friendly. The different attachments of the spot clean are really nice. I would trade some of the convenience of the PowerBrush for all of the other benefits of the Spot Cleans. Last year I tried the Hoover Pwr Portable Battery spot cleaner and it was all kinds of terrible. The design of the tools made extracting impossible, especially if you're trying to get leverage to extract like EVERYONE does. What's more the tanks were tiny and the battery didn't last for crap either. I took it back the next day and went to buy the Spot Clean.
Wonder how these compare to the Spot Bot… it’s nice to be able to press a button and leave the room while it works but suction leaves something to be desired
I bought this machine and absolutely agree. I only bought it because the little green was sold out and my dog had gotten sick and I didn't want to hop around shopping during covid.....so I needed something quick. I am disappointed 😞
I purchased my Powerbrush to clean a mink blanket. I won't be facing the types of stains and cleaning issues that owners with pets, carpets, and car upholstery face. It's cheaper to purchase this machine once than to get my blanket dry cleaned once a year.
Been loving your vids for awhile. Was disappointed you didn't compare Hoover Onepwr Spotless Go Cordless to Bissell eraser as that's the heads-up I'm considering as I'd like a cordless for quick stains. I love your experimental approach and don't want to relay on subjective reviews so I'm hoping doing the hoover cordless spot cleaner is something your planning
Doh! I just ordered and had delivered the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Powerbrush (based on another review video I watched on the Bissell products) and after watching this I wish I'd got the Bissell Little Green! Hmmm 🤣🤣 Maybe next year. lol
I found this video because I have the cordless Bissell and am not happy with it. I have a dog that is about 95% house trained but has the occasional accident. I bought the cordless Bissell to help with those accidents so I didn’t always have to bring out my large carpet cleaner. Just like you tested, I don’t feel like it pulls out the stain and leaves the carpet wet. I even apply pressure to the front like it says and still nothing.
Yes interestingly it has a little more power in Amps but I wonder if that's mainly due to the heated water feature.... which honestly im not sure if that is worth it. I can heat my own damn water in a kettle and add to the old machine. I wonder if they upgraded the motor for more suction. That's the real question.
I’d love to see a series of videos about different carpet extractors: karcher puzzi, Janilink, Clarke, etc. I have a lot of rental properties and the tenants (especially their pets) always trash the carpets so I need to learn what’s the best heavy-duty carpet extractor that I can use myself, without having to pay several hundreds of dollars to the pros every time a tenant moves out.
My Persian cat has been pissing all over the house on purpose because he's spoiled and nobody pays attention to him like he wants in the day because he sleeps ahd gets full attention with head rubs and all by bedtime from 9pm to 12am or sometimes 9pm to 3am for me. So I checked on Amazon and found this little baby here with the pet odor and stain remover. I have $20 of credit on Amazon. which will reduce the cost to $60+ so I definitely will be purchasing.
Just bought a Little Green (older model 1400M - read it's the same as the 1400B and was a bit cheaper). Works pretty well but wondering for those that have it what they think of the suction? Seems fairly low. The suction in the dirty water compartment seems fairly strong but by the time it gets to the nozzle it seems really diminished. Yes, check the hose and it's fine. I can go through an entire tank of water but only suck up an inch or two of water back into the dirty water tank. Also, what's with the design of the nozzle attachment? The release button has slots around in while are open to the suction - which means there a little loss of suction which you can feel around the release button. I put some tape around it to reduce the loss there. Pretty dumb, Bissell. The clip should have been on the other side that's not accessible to the hose suction. Anyway, wasn't sure if I got a lemon machine or if the suction is really only moderate. Can feel a light pull on my skin when touching it but thought it would do better extracting water if it was as strong as a hose attachment coming off of a regular vacuum cleaner.
the cordless one , the brush roller wont move in half year. and it is pain to take it apart. although i have taken it apart. there is no way to further take it apart to solver the real problem. U have to lube it a little bit to make it roll. but it wont work again later.
GEORGIA RED CLAY IS A MYTH! 1st up please everyone learn this and share!!!I am not from Georgia but have lived here most my life. The dirt is red. The clay may be white and will be found most likely in South Georgia around Valdosta and the border. Think of swamp sludge. Heck, think of clay. Go ball up some red dirt and try and make a clay ball. In construction, 20 years back, I took a class on soils for types A, B, & C. Or was it 1, 2, & 3? Anyways, Rock hard, clay, dirt for basically a sound foundation for your foundation. Now, you'll have geologists, soil testers like for your septic tank, etc. that know more. If you're told to put your septic in clay, then get a 2nd opinion. Also, the old Vitrified Clay Pipes in Georgia might match the dirt color and are as brittle, but they weren't made from it, I hope... I've seen a lot in GA. That's my PSA. Some may know, and it could just be a term that's stuck. I won't go into my personal feelings on the state. This saying should still become history along with Georgia's many other atrocities. The state may be 48-ish in overall ranking and progression, so we have to start somewhere. I know I'm being generous, but there's always hope.
Just found your channel, because I'm moving into a new apartment that has carpeting. Your videos have been so helpful! Is there anything you would recommend for a high pile/shag carpet?
Spot cleaners like the little green are agodsend for car cleaning. Will you be reviewing the Narwhal robot vacuum/mop in the near future? I feel like that's right up your street and would love to hear your thoughts!
We must be one of the unlucky ones. When it worked it was very effective. Our device lasted just under 12 months. Despite all the advice from Bissel how to clear the problem of no spray to the nozzle from the reservoir nothing made any difference. It looks great but I wouldn't buy another. Ours is going to the recycling centre.
can you do a full review of portable spot/stain cleaners? i ended up giving my little green bissell away cuz it left my couch too wet and then stinky. i bought the portable bissell spot clean pro and my couch looks and smells new now! 😳😁
Because I’m disabled and hate getting down on the floor I’m wondering if they have something like this that can clean up puppy accidents off of a tile floor after I get the poop up? Something to keep from having to drag out a mop or expose an actual hard floor cleaner like the tineco to pet waste. I’d love something like this that was just dedicated to getting the floor sanitary between mopping.
Hi, I am in the same situation, and I have looked into this. What I’m going to get is a shark vacmop which uses disposable pads. The ongoing cost of that is the only drawback I can see. However, the plus of this is that you don’t have to clean up one of those vacuuming mop floor cleaners which would be really disgusting. You just throw the mess away. And it’s also way cheaper if you exclude the cost of the pads.
Just get a George or a Henry Wash. Both of these bissells will not last that long. The hose on the little green tends to break and crack. And you should never put pure solution on your carpet or use the bissel solution. Only use solution approved and tested by the American Rug association, such as zep.
A George is very ideal for this. Or a bigger carpet cleaner. But the main advantage to these are the price. The little green is decent but I have seen those hoses crack like crazy. So it would be good for someone who just uses it for very occasional spots. You don’t have to use stuff approved by the CRI. But it could be better. I haven’t ever seen solutions hurt carpets before. But zep is a very good cleaner. Although not everything approved by the CRI is good, zep is. There are also many good things out there but aren’t on the CRI website.
I just hate lugging around the little green machine and I find it doesn’t clean well. Tried to clean some dirt off my patio cushions and it didn’t do a thing.
Is there a video comparing the Proheat Revolution 2x Pet Pro and the Deepclean Deluxe / Premiere Pet? It is hard to tell which model is newer and better reviewed.
So, I've owned multiples of these cordless Bissell Pet Stain Erasers and I'm hopeful that this video will serve to deter people from purchasing them. You didn't really cover it, but the seal they use for the solution tank does not work and fails extremely early in its life. All 3 of the units I've owned have had this seal fail within the first 3 uses (keeping in mind that my use case is not every day, but more like once a month). The worst part is that when this seal fails, the liquid is allowed to migrate into the handle, exposing the electrical components/battery directly to the solution.
Thank you for your hard work ! I keep follow this channel even if I don't like cleaning but I like the robot aspect of it :) As I am heavily thinking of buying a robot with auto empty system (or even if we have to wait a little to have it like for the roborock s7) I wonder if you will do any guide or big comparatif this month (hopefully) or august concerning all the latest robot ? (I have also seen the last one from Samsung but it don't seems to be possible to buy it in Europe or France at least .... Thank you for reading my message ! I'm looking forward your answer !
Thank you! So in the near future, I unfortunately don't see myself doing a significant comparison like that. I'm glad the videos have inspired you - thank you for watching.
Little green needs the power brush, or pet eraser needs better battery for more suction. Also power brush height needs to be adjustable for scrubbing power. Come on bissell, get it together!! Had a little green and now have a new pet eraser. I'm still happy with my pet eraser but I know it could be so much better.
These upholstery cleaners sided with the mops in the 2nd Robot Vacuum War. The mops were the reason our troops even made it to the battle of Cyberdyne Hill. Still though, the carnage was on an unbelievable scale. War, war never changes.
Has anyone used the person hand held for just vacuuming small spots no solution? I did a little today it didn't break so I guess it's ok. I wish I had the green one. The pet stain eraser does leak on the floor and mine is the old burgundy one and the brushes don't spin so u have to do the work!! I will keep it cause I've had it too long🙄 also I think the cleaner is too expensive!!! Please tell me something cheaper I can use instead
I had the previous Pet Stain Eraser. It failed and started blowing water out of the top which killed the electronics. Bissel was absolutely zero help and wouldn’t replace it under warranty even though it was well within the warranty period and I had a receipt from Target. That experience turned me off and I bought another brand.

Doh! I just ordered and had delivered the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Powerbrush (based on another review video I watched on the Bissell products) and after watching this I wish I'd got the Bissell Little Green! Hmmm 🤣🤣 Maybe next year. lol
Thanks for this information I found this beneficial I own both as well ❤
Glad it was helpful!
i decided on the little green also
Real Pro Review, great work ! Subscribed !
Thank you!
@@VacuumWars Some give Bissel an angle forward for better cleaning, using the tip, I saw that suction is stonger there too. Tks
I found this video because I have the cordless Bissell and am not happy with it. I have a dog that is about 95% house trained but has the occasional accident. I bought the cordless Bissell to help with those accidents so I didn’t always have to bring out my large carpet cleaner. Just like you tested, I don’t feel like it pulls out the stain and leaves the carpet wet. I even apply pressure to the front like it says and still nothing.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Thank you for best review
Glad it was helpful!
The bissell liftoff deep cleaner is a better carpet cleaner for both small and large tasks.
Absolutely love my little green pro heat
Good to hear! Thanks!
This Bissel Little Green model is old now I thought. There’s already a newer, heated model that replaced it. It’s also sold out like everywhere.
Yes interestingly it has a little more power in Amps but I wonder if that's mainly due to the heated water feature.... which honestly im not sure if that is worth it. I can heat my own damn water in a kettle and add to the old machine. I wonder if they upgraded the motor for more suction. That's the real question.
Wish id seen this before i bought mine. Have the same complaints.
An interesting idea but poor execution, I feel like some more work and a new design would make this better.
Nice video! 👍👍
I’d love to see a series of videos about different carpet extractors: karcher puzzi, Janilink, Clarke, etc. I have a lot of rental properties and the tenants (especially their pets) always trash the carpets so I need to learn what’s the best heavy-duty carpet extractor that I can use myself, without having to pay several hundreds of dollars to the pros every time a tenant moves out.
I don't know when I could get around to that but I agree that would be a cool video.
hi, would it be possible for you to review the "dreame" line of cordless vacuum cleaners? would be really amazing if you could :)
please try out the Hoover High Performance Swivel XL Pet Upright Vacuum!!!
Yesss!!!
🏆 First!
I purchased the power brush and took it right back after 20min of use. Final thoughts no power and heavy machine. It's cordless but useless in cars.
Nice idea but just having a smaller, cordless Littler Green may have been better at the end of the day.
Thanks!
What is the best vacuum for tile floors and pet hair? Thank you for your videos!
My Persian cat has been pissing all over the house on purpose because he's spoiled and nobody pays attention to him like he wants in the day because he sleeps ahd gets full attention with head rubs and all by bedtime from 9pm to 12am or sometimes 9pm to 3am for me. So I checked on Amazon and found this little baby here with the pet odor and stain remover. I have $20 of credit on Amazon. which will reduce the cost to $60+ so I definitely will be purchasing.
I hope you are happy with it!
@@VacuumWars Well Amazon is good with refunding me back my money so if it's not what I expect, I can always send it back. Thank you!
Just bought a Little Green (older model 1400M - read it's the same as the 1400B and was a bit cheaper). Works pretty well but wondering for those that have it what they think of the suction? Seems fairly low. The suction in the dirty water compartment seems fairly strong but by the time it gets to the nozzle it seems really diminished. Yes, check the hose and it's fine. I can go through an entire tank of water but only suck up an inch or two of water back into the dirty water tank. Also, what's with the design of the nozzle attachment? The release button has slots around in while are open to the suction - which means there a little loss of suction which you can feel around the release button. I put some tape around it to reduce the loss there. Pretty dumb, Bissell. The clip should have been on the other side that's not accessible to the hose suction. Anyway, wasn't sure if I got a lemon machine or if the suction is really only moderate. Can feel a light pull on my skin when touching it but thought it would do better extracting water if it was as strong as a hose attachment coming off of a regular vacuum cleaner.
the cordless one , the brush roller wont move in half year. and it is pain to take it apart. although i have taken it apart. there is no way to further take it apart to solver the real problem. U have to lube it a little bit to make it roll. but it wont work again later.
GEORGIA RED CLAY IS A MYTH!
1st up please everyone learn this and share!!!I am not from Georgia but have lived here most my life. The dirt is red. The clay may be white and will be found most likely in South Georgia around Valdosta and the border. Think of swamp sludge. Heck, think of clay. Go ball up some red dirt and try and make a clay ball.
In construction, 20 years back, I took a class on soils for types A, B, & C. Or was it 1, 2, & 3? Anyways, Rock hard, clay, dirt for basically a sound foundation for your foundation.
Now, you'll have geologists, soil testers like for your septic tank, etc. that know more. If you're told to put your septic in clay, then get a 2nd opinion. Also, the old Vitrified Clay Pipes in Georgia might match the dirt color and are as brittle, but they weren't made from it, I hope... I've seen a lot in GA.
That's my PSA. Some may know, and it could just be a term that's stuck. I won't go into my personal feelings on the state. This saying should still become history along with Georgia's many other atrocities. The state may be 48-ish in overall ranking and progression, so we have to start somewhere. I know I'm being generous, but there's always hope.
interesting! thank you!
Just found your channel, because I'm moving into a new apartment that has carpeting. Your videos have been so helpful! Is there anything you would recommend for a high pile/shag carpet?
Spot cleaners like the little green are agodsend for car cleaning.
Will you be reviewing the Narwhal robot vacuum/mop in the near future? I feel like that's right up your street and would love to hear your thoughts!
Yeah I agree.
That one isn't in the plan right now but thank you for checking.
Roborock just came out with the new E5😱
Could you do a review of the Hoover dual power max pet
We must be one of the unlucky ones. When it worked it was very effective. Our device lasted just under 12 months. Despite all the advice from Bissel how to clear the problem of no spray to the nozzle from the reservoir nothing made any difference. It looks great but I wouldn't buy another. Ours is going to the recycling centre.
can you do a full review of portable spot/stain cleaners? i ended up giving my little green bissell away cuz it left my couch too wet and then stinky. i bought the portable bissell spot clean pro and my couch looks and smells new now! 😳😁
It's going to be a while before I can get to that, but its good to know you are happy with that Bissel. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks!
Because I’m disabled and hate getting down on the floor I’m wondering if they have something like this that can clean up puppy accidents off of a tile floor after I get the poop up? Something to keep from having to drag out a mop or expose an actual hard floor cleaner like the tineco to pet waste. I’d love something like this that was just dedicated to getting the floor sanitary between mopping.
Hi, I am in the same situation, and I have looked into this. What I’m going to get is a shark vacmop which uses disposable pads. The ongoing cost of that is the only drawback I can see. However, the plus of this is that you don’t have to clean up one of those vacuuming mop floor cleaners which would be really disgusting. You just throw the mess away. And it’s also way cheaper if you exclude the cost of the pads.
Just get a George or a Henry Wash. Both of these bissells will not last that long. The hose on the little green tends to break and crack. And you should never put pure solution on your carpet or use the bissel solution. Only use solution approved and tested by the American Rug association, such as zep.
A George is very ideal for this. Or a bigger carpet cleaner. But the main advantage to these are the price. The little green is decent but I have seen those hoses crack like crazy. So it would be good for someone who just uses it for very occasional spots. You don’t have to use stuff approved by the CRI. But it could be better. I haven’t ever seen solutions hurt carpets before. But zep is a very good cleaner. Although not everything approved by the CRI is good, zep is. There are also many good things out there but aren’t on the CRI website.
@@DillonCleans I've had my Little Green going on 15 years and no problems
@@scpatl4now wow! Glad it’s working great for you!
Can you test the Tineco spot cleaner?
excellent review
Thank you kindly!
I just hate lugging around the little green machine and I find it doesn’t clean well. Tried to clean some dirt off my patio cushions and it didn’t do a thing.
This model should be corded for more suction power.
Is there a video comparing the Proheat Revolution 2x Pet Pro and the Deepclean Deluxe / Premiere Pet?
It is hard to tell which model is newer and better reviewed.
Can you show us where you put your vacuums and your corpitcleaners
Great info here thanks.
Really wish I'd seen this before buying..
Aw. We hope you are still happy with whichever vacuum you have.
So, I've owned multiples of these cordless Bissell Pet Stain Erasers and I'm hopeful that this video will serve to deter people from purchasing them. You didn't really cover it, but the seal they use for the solution tank does not work and fails extremely early in its life. All 3 of the units I've owned have had this seal fail within the first 3 uses (keeping in mind that my use case is not every day, but more like once a month). The worst part is that when this seal fails, the liquid is allowed to migrate into the handle, exposing the electrical components/battery directly to the solution.
Ugh. sorry to hear that!
Thank you for your hard work ! I keep follow this channel even if I don't like cleaning but I like the robot aspect of it :) As I am heavily thinking of buying a robot with auto empty system (or even if we have to wait a little to have it like for the roborock s7) I wonder if you will do any guide or big comparatif this month (hopefully) or august concerning all the latest robot ? (I have also seen the last one from Samsung but it don't seems to be possible to buy it in Europe or France at least .... Thank you for reading my message ! I'm looking forward your answer !
Thank you! So in the near future, I unfortunately don't see myself doing a significant comparison like that. I'm glad the videos have inspired you - thank you for watching.
Okay to Walmart I go
Can you turn off the motorized brush or does it always run.
Little green needs the power brush, or pet eraser needs better battery for more suction. Also power brush height needs to be adjustable for scrubbing power. Come on bissell, get it together!! Had a little green and now have a new pet eraser. I'm still happy with my pet eraser but I know it could be so much better.
How does it compare to a small wet/dry vac and a bottle of mix
Excellent work thx
Thanks!
These upholstery cleaners sided with the mops in the 2nd Robot Vacuum War. The mops were the reason our troops even made it to the battle of Cyberdyne Hill. Still though, the carnage was on an unbelievable scale. War, war never changes.
If you can hear this message you ARE the resistance
cool 👍💪
Will it work inside cabinets?
Can you compare them to some shark models?
How are you summer temperatures Chris?
Looking for the wheels for a shark nv80 26.
Has anyone used the person hand held for just vacuuming small spots no solution? I did a little today it didn't break so I guess it's ok. I wish I had the green one. The pet stain eraser does leak on the floor and mine is the old burgundy one and the brushes don't spin so u have to do the work!! I will keep it cause I've had it too long🙄 also I think the cleaner is too expensive!!! Please tell me something cheaper I can use instead
Do a review for the tineco ifloor 3!
Tomorrow at 4PM EST!
Review bissell spinwave robot
This Friday's video will cover the spinwave.
Just returned the power brush today, that thing is super weak. Barely any suction power at all.
Ugh - I'm sorry to hear that.
I had the previous Pet Stain Eraser. It failed and started blowing water out of the top which killed the electronics. Bissel was absolutely zero help and wouldn’t replace it under warranty even though it was well within the warranty period and I had a receipt from Target. That experience turned me off and I bought another brand.
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for chiming in.
Can you do this vs ryobi
Put the car seat back that’s what I do
