Bissell's "Green Little Green Machine" has the same cleaning power as the original - and the same cleaning power as a full-sized deep cleaner. I own one of the original Little Green Machines and can attest to it's cleaning power and ease of use. It changed my dingy and stained kitchen chairs back to white. I haven't tried it on carpet (since I don't have any), but I would definitely recommend it for upholstery.
The Green Machine has a great 20-foot long power cord, meaning you don't have to worry about being too close to an outlet. The flexible hose is also nice and long and lets you attack stains from different angles.
The Little Green Machine is easy to maintain. When you're finished cleaning just rinse out the dirty water tank and clean off the nozzle before you put the unit away. Everything folds up neatly and compactly for storage, too. You can store it with water in the tank, a feature that's nice because you don't waste any water or deep cleaning formula.
What's the downside? Well, while the suction is good enough to get all the dirt out of your upholstery or carpet, it still leaves things wet. This isn't really a problem, it just means you'll have to give things some time to dry. Also, the water from the sprayer might make a little bit of a mess so be prepared. I usually use the vacuum nozzle to suction any water that gets on the floor.
The new Green model has a 95% reduction in PVC, including a PVC-free hose and PVC-free solution and collection tanks (which are made of recyclable polypropylene instead). There are other parts constructed from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic (a post-consumer recycled product has completed its life cycle as a consumer item). Bissell uses a "closed-loop process" which means they recycle parts of items that have been returned to them to make new units.
Bissell's Little Green cleaning formula (which is standard in all their compact deep cleaners) is earth-friendly and doesn't contain heavy metals, optical brighteners, phosphates, or dyes.
Even the carton and packaging are made from at least 75% recycled material. Bissell eliminated all the Styrofoam and PVC inserts, adding another layer of environmental friendliness to this unit.
