There are certain products that reach a level of fame where it seems like everyone you know has and loves one — and the BISSELL Little Green Upholstery Cleaner is one of those items. A few years back, it was hard to scroll through social media without seeing someone raving about just how great this little wonder was, while simultaneously cleaning messes from just about anything (sofas, car seats, rugs, you name it). The “Little Green Machine,” as it has lovingly come to be known, quickly reached icon status, so it’s hard to think that anything could ever top it. Well, do I have some news for you. 

Late last year, Bissell released an updated version of the viral cleaner — the Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Carpet Cleaner — and it quickly became a fan-favorite (as well as an AT-favorite). Looking to upgrade your model? You’re in luck, because right now this pick is also on sale. But before you add it to your cart, let’s chat about what makes this newer version so great.  

What Is the Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Carpet Cleaner? 

Like the original, the Little Green Hydrosteam Carpet Cleaner is a compact and portable steam cleaner that works magic on upholstery, carpet, and household fabric. Designed specifically to make light work of pet messes, the bulk of this model’s upgrade lies in its new cleaning modes: Steam Mode for cleaning hard surfaces and disinfecting upholstery, Wash Mode for enzyme-based pet accidents, and SteamWash, a combo of the two for particularly tough and oily messes. Top that with four removable wheels that make moving it from room to room a breeze, better suction, and a quieter run, and it’s easy to see why people are calling this the new classic.

When we put this model to the test last year, we were beyond impressed. “Originally, I was the proud owner of a classic Bissell Little Green upholstery cleaner — you know, the one that went viral on TikTok during peak pandemic times,” shared writer Caroline Mullen. “It worked great, and I had little to no complaints until I upgraded to the new pet-specific Little Green HydroSteam. This one has all the features I love about the original Little Green, but with improvements that are especially essential for pet owners, like three different cleaning modes, a quieter run, and more.” 

And while this model might be a bit more pet-specific, if you’re simply looking for an overall power upgrade to the original, you’ll get it with this model. As Caroline also shared, “I loved the original Little Green because it sucked dirt and grime right out of my carpet and couch cushions, but the HydroSteam is somehow even more powerful, requiring fewer passes over the surface to effectively extract stains and moisture.” Now that’s an upgrade.

The Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Carpet Cleaner normally comes in close to $300, but right now you can get it for just $199.98 at QVC, along with a bottle of the Bissell Pet Pro OXY Spot and Stain Urine Eliminator with StainProtect Formula. So what are you waiting for? This deal won’t be around for long — and with this machine in hand, neither will your messes.
