- Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days end tonight, October 8.
- A smaller version of Bissell's iconic carpet cleaner is currently on sale for $75.
- Our experts at the Cleaning Lab agree: the Little Green Mini is a great choice for small homes and apartments.
Accidents are inevitable, especially in households with pets and children—think muddy paw prints on the sofa, red wine spilled on the carpet, and greasy fingerprints on dining room chairs. Luckily, Bissell's Little Green Mini Carpet Cleaner can tackle tough stains on upholstery—and it's over 20% off for Amazon's Prime Big Deals Days (which ends tonight).
Our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute are long-time fans of the Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner for its outstanding performance and ease of use, so we couldn't wait to get our hands on the smaller (and less expensive) version that launched earlier this year. We're still in the process of testing it, but initial thoughts: The lightweight and compact design is so much easier to carry around.

The Little Green Mini only weighs 7 pounds (nearly 3 pounds lighter than its full-sized counterpart), so you'll be able to hold it one-handed as you move from room to room, or maneuver around your car's cramped interior. I have the original Little Green Machine (also on sale for Prime Day) and never have a problem transporting it around, so I imagine this one is even easier!
"It's as cute as can be and seems like a perfect choice for those without much storage space, apartment dwellers, or for those with few carpets or upholstered chairs to clean and for the car," says Cleaning Lab Executive Director Carolyn Forté.
The Little Green Mini includes similar accessories that our experts love about the original, including the Little Green cleaning solution, an easy-to-use 4-inch stain tool, and a self-cleaning hose tool that prevents the machine from collecting dirt and grime. There's a 4-foot hose, a water tank with a 16-ounce capacity, and a 12-foot-long cord (3 feet shorter than the original).
According to online reviewers, the portable upholstery cleaner has great suction power that lifts stains and odors—many note that it cleans up well after pet accidents. The lightweight design makes the machine easy to use, but most reviewers agree that it is best suited for spot cleaning, and cleaning a large area can be time-consuming.
