When it comes to cleaning messes quickly and efficiently, sometimes a full-sized vacuum or carpet cleaner is just too bulky or inconvenient. That’s exactly where the BISSELL Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner (Model 3353) steps in. Compact, lightweight, and surprisingly powerful, this small machine has gained a cult following — and after using it ourselves, it’s easy to see why.
Whether you’re dealing with everyday spills, pet accidents, or deep-set stains in upholstery and rugs, the Little Green handles the job without breaking a sweat — or your back.
Design and Build: Compact Yet Sturdy
One of the most appealing aspects of the BISSELL Little Green is its portable and practical design. It weighs under 10 pounds and has a built-in handle, making it incredibly easy to carry from room to room or even out to your car. The hose wraps neatly into the side of the unit, and the power cord tucks away without a hassle. You can store it in a closet or even under a kitchen sink — it’s that compact.
Despite its small size, the build quality is solid. The plastic feels durable, the attachments snap in tightly, and the tanks are easy to remove and fill. This isn’t a flimsy handheld toy — it’s a professional-grade tool shrunk down for real-life convenience.
Easy Setup and User-Friendly Operation
Getting started with the Little Green is about as simple as it gets. Just fill the clean water tank with a mix of warm water and cleaning solution (BISSELL includes a trial-size bottle), plug it in, and you’re ready to go. The trigger sprayer dispenses solution through the attached tool, while the powerful suction immediately lifts dirt and moisture back into the dirty water tank.
There’s no complex setup, no app, no Wi-Fi — just straightforward, effective cleaning. For those who want performance without digital fluff, this is a refreshing change.
Powerful Suction in a Small Machine
Don’t let the “Little” in the name fool you — this machine packs a punch. The suction power is surprisingly strong for a portable device. Whether you’re cleaning wine from a rug, coffee from a car seat, or pet messes from upholstery, the Little Green lifts dirt fast and leaves surfaces noticeably cleaner and drier than you might expect.
It’s not meant for full-room carpet cleaning, but for spot cleaning and targeted stain removal, it performs on par with much larger units. The included Tough Stain Tool is perfect for scrubbing out stubborn areas, and the suction ensures minimal moisture is left behind.
Final Verdict
The BISSELL Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner (Model 3353) is one of those rare products that exceeds expectations. It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers real results — exactly what most people want in a spot cleaner. Whether you live in a small apartment or a big house, whether you have pets, kids, or just want your car seats to look like new again, this little machine gets the job done.
It’s a perfect example of smart, practical design backed by performance. And once you use it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
