Bissell's 1400-7 Little Green cleaning machine is a quick and easy solution to small spills and dirt. Powered by a 2.75-amp motor, this compact, multipurpose unit also functions as a deep cleaner for spot cleaning carpets and upholstery. The cleaning spray and suction are surprisingly sufficient for cleaning tough stains and lifting spills before they set in. The machine provides a 4-inch cleaning path and helps dry in one step. A tough stain brush attachment is included for especially hard-to-clean stains. And the patented pet odor and soil removal solution works well for cleaning up pet dander, track-in dirt and pet accidents that occasionally occur.

We were impressed by the unit's size, portability and easy-grip handle. Another convenience is the onboard storage, which includes a quick release cord wrap, flex hose clip for winding the hose around the unit's base, and a storage bracket with bracket latch for housing the hose-end brush. Especially noteworthy is its sustainable design: The hose and tanks are PVC free, the tough stain brush is made from 75 percent recycled material, and the carton is recyclable. That gets two green thumbs up from us.

The hose length stretches out to 5.5 feet. That combined with the 15-foot cord gives you over 20 feet of maneuvering room, which is long enough to reach most places. And its portability makes it easy to clean stairs and upholstery in your home, auto or RV interior. Removing the dirty collection tank for cleaning is a snap. But depending on how dirty the water is, it may take several rinses to get it clean due to the tank design. And this unit is best suited to deep cleaning and wet pickup than it is to dry vacuuming.

All in all, the Bissell 1400-7 Little Green Multi-purpose Deep Cleaner is an earth-friendly solution to spot cleaning, small spills and dirt.
