So far so good...

Yes, the product is ready to go once you get it out of the packaging, little assembly that is required is not actually necessary for cleaning, it's just a couple of storage clips.
So far I have cleaned just the living room rug and it does look great, however here are my concerns:
1. The instructions are not very clear on operating the cleaning brush. It makes it sound like there is no need to press the solution release button while scrubbing with the brush. However, you do need to do that to get enough water/solution into the rug to clean it and suck it back up. I made the mistake of just spraying water/solution to pretreat, and using the brush "dry", and kept wondering why my "dirty" tank was empty and clean.
2. Unfortunately, the hot tap water you put into "clean" tank doesn't stay very hot, if one needs to clean the entire rug. I understand that this is more of a spot cleaner vs. a full carpet cleaner, but I was hoping to get two in one. After reading the reviews for Bissell's heated Little Green (a lot of bad ones), I don't think I would exchange this one for it.
3. The "dirty" tank is a little hard to clean, I don't think they really were thinking about the cleaning task when designing this tank, so many parts, and there are openings on the opposite end of the tank, so no way to fill and slosh.
Overall, it got the job done, so I am still giving it 4 stars, but I am waiting to see it perform in newly purchased used RV... We'll see.
Thanks the heavens

My husband, albiet not from here, picked up this little gem after calling him and relaying that our son dumped the entire contents of a chocolate syrup bottle on his bedroom carpet. Home he came with this bissell. Only one they had at the store.
Assembly in two seconds, I kid you not. Didn't even need to look at the instructions. put in the cleaning solution, filled reservoir with water, set it down, plugged it in. Now, mind you, it took me about ten minutes, with a few minutes between each go, this syrup was well and good in the carpet, but I am deeply impressed. Throughly impressed. It's very light, even filled, it's compact, fits real nicely into our cleaning closet, and super easy to use. For the price we paid, it's paid for itself halfway with just the one room, compared to getting our carpets steam cleaned every few months. I would happily buy again.

I just invested in new carpet and needed a convenient compact cleaner. As the father of two active boys and the owner of two young (large) dogs & one fussy cat, I am concerned about muddy foot/paw prints, food spills and those much more critical "accidents" on the new carpet.
As expected, the cat struck first (and hopefully last) even before I removed the Little Green from the box! I'm pleased to say, the Little Green was well up to the challenge.
Easy unpack, low assembly, tank fill with water/solution, plug-in and clean-up. The whole job took less than 5 minutes. I was so pleased with the process from beginning to end. And best of all, my wife did not find the accident. the Little Green removed all evidence 100%! So, the cat is safe for now. The Little Green extended her 9 lives, keeping us all happy!

Sure, I like the environmental aspects of this product (made with less PVCs, no styrofoam packaging, etc, etc), cause, I mean, I like the planet and am glad Bissell's stepping up. But what I like even more (which, I realize, might make me sound selfish) is that I have a pretty large dog who sheds, and the Little Green is super helpful at keeping my house from turning into a hairball, and at cleaning up any dog-related stains (this is keeping my carpets in shape for sure). The reason, besides the cleaning power, that it is so helpful is that it's not a hassle to carry it if you need a quick clean up, because it's much more mobile than one of those huge machines, but it seems to still have the same amount of power. If you have a dog or cat, I think this is the machine for you. I know it works wonders for me.
