New! Bissell Little Green Hydrosteam Spot Cleaner - Steam Extractor

[@JoseVera20]

I was sold the moment I saw that upholstery brush, I can find a million uses for it in my detailing business. I hate having to get my mytee extractor off the truck just for some spot cleaning, and my steamer with brush attachments works great for spot cleaning but then you leave the area wet and have to vacuum or wipe down a bunch. This will be that perfect middle ground for me when it comes to spot cleaning or even full extractions on smaller vehicles! Thanks for the heads up

[@ChrisSings]

the $200 mccullen steamer is about $199 and also has the water spit issue. this can replace that steamer and double as an extractor. I'd rather have my extractor function on a steamer than on a vaccuum with ripclean because the steamer synergizes well with extraction. With the ripclean you are either vaccuuming or extracting, never both, and you have to figure out the waterline connection for the ripclean. This comes built-in. Adding this to my list to watch for sales.

[@DizConnected]

I just bought this on Prime day for $129.99 which is $100 off! Hope it works as good as I think it will.

[@altillman1448]

These are FANTASTIC for new detailers. Awesome they added the hydrosteam feature. For the small capacity clean/dirty tank issue all you have to do is buy additional accessory tanks under Parts for Model 3618 for $33/set. I would buy 2x more of each personally + the sole plate castor wheels! You can hot swap the tanks in & out easily while working on a job. I would recommend buying back up small/large wand tools and their hydrorinse recirculating self cleaning hose tool. I used the Pro version with Superior Products Zap It years ago early on and it paid for itself on the 2nd shampoo job. I paid cash for my heated Mytee 4 months later from the profits. The only downfall to the Bissell models that I didnt like was having to move the unit around alot due to the short hose.

[@imjoshv]

I agree 100% and congrats on the mytee! Thats what i use as well. But like you said, these Bissells are great for the home diyer or for the person starting their business that can invest as much money into a more expensive machine... Get this, start making money, and reinvest like you did!!!

[@elliotsimpson3591]

GREAT about buying spare water and extraction tanks!!

[@scottwesterfield6360]

I have a cordless, upright Bissell vacuum and like the product very much but wasn't sure which way to go for a portable carpet cleaner. IMJOSHV did a great, in-depth analysis of the Little Green Hydrosteam product features, and I plan to buy one as a result. One of the best product test videos I've seen. Good job.

[@dontump2286]

They say the upright Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam vacuum has a hose attachment that comes with it that works just as well as this little green hydrosteam. You should try that out and let us know how it compares.

[@J403403]

The condensate aka water coming out is normal for any steam machine. You can’t go from water to steam unless there’s some water discharged. It sort of the warming up the lines if you will… Nice video! I may have to get one. Thanks.

[@imjoshv]

Yes thats very true! But some of the more expensive units will have much much less before the steam kicks in. And it seams like this one is an inline heater vs others heat the whole water tank so with those once the steam is ready it should throw much water out. But again, for the price and functionality of this machine its great!

[@todayincryptobullrun]

I think it’s a great option. Use it where necessary. Particularly floor mats. Seats you can spray with the right stain remover then drill brush it and mop up with a towel. As a last resort use this.

[@elliotsimpson3591]

That water sputtering at the beginning of spraying steam is exactly why it has a short hose. Any moisture in the hose (which is at ambient temps) is going to condense from steam back into solid water while in the hose and not moving. As the steam warms up the hose over time, less of that water will condense between trigger pulls. HOWEVER, this unit is SMALL. Even the Spot Clean Pro has a 1L tank (0.6 gal IIRC) which doesn't last very long. The new unit being even SMALLER than that, putting it on combo steam AND spray will run out FAST and require frequent empties & refills on bigger jobs (let alone carpet cleaning). I think the functionality of steam being built in is nice and a great feature, but I feel the unit is still too small and just not practical enough for bigger detailing jobs. I really hope I'm wrong, though, as I'm in the market for a small, portable, similarly-sized unit as this.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

I bought the spot clean pet pro on Amazon prime days 2 weeks ago for $113.00. That was an amazing price

[@imjoshv]

Yep I saw that! Awesome deal

[@whitegoodman7465]

Cabinets are looking real nice and clean!

[@joevanseeters2873]

That CREVICE tool did it for me! The steam too, but that simple little crevice too is brilliant! I can't tell you how many times over the many years I have been detailing that I said to myself "Man, this would be a whole lot more easy with some type of crevice too for this extractor". As we detailers know, the crevices are where a lot of the dirt, crumb's, grime, etc. collect. Every other manufacturer who makes a hand held (or even a push behind with accessories) should have one of those cool little crevice tools in the box. Even better would have been a slightly more narrow and longer crevice tool! NOW THAT would have been cool! The crevice tools have always been available for the more pricey extractors like the Mytee and those type machines, but never for the small extractors. I will most likely be upgrading at some point in the future to one of these. My daughter just had a baby so I will pass on my old Bissell Pro Heat to her for baby clean ups and spills and I will upgrade to this bad boy! Thanks for posting Josh.

[@mondavou9408]

The pre-treat of your rug had mind blowing results.

[@doodlebug1820]

Thanks for the review. Great points. I just bought one. as an amateur 'around the house' cleaner, this is the best vacuum in its class that I have ever owned, but also the 'gentlest' steam cleaning product that I own, as is clear by the fact you can hold your hands a few inches from the nozzle and not get burned. It's more on a power level of a clothes steamer + vacuum than a steam blaster (SteamFast / McCullouch) + vacuum. I'm guessing that's intentional to not damage sensitive items? I do love it. Using it on carpet I can see it blowing the carpet fibers, followed by the brush, followed by the suction, it is just perfect. Super satisfying and well designed. I am wondering if I should use distilled water though, as this is what my other steam products recommend.

[@jontnoneya3404]

Your product reviews ROCK! Thank You!! Might I suggest one addition? If you would, at the end, talk about what the "step up" option is that would also be very helpful. Simply naming a product or a few of them and why they would be a step up, then we could actually go do more research on those to see where we stand. Anyways thanks again!!

[@ATLBraves1992]

Yep. I take it back what I said earlier about this machine. It’s not meant for professional use. Invest in an Aqua Pro for $500-$700 for a professional level machine on a budget. I am on my 3rd machine within 6 months. Not dependable at all for daily/every other day usage. Luckily, Bissell has been giving me new machines since it does come with a 1 year warranty. This is meant to be used by someone that has occasional spills, cat pee, dog pee, etc. IT IS NOT MEANT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. It doesn’t hold up, despite proper maintenance.

[@kylebouyers51]

It saves me from having 2 things plugged in at once. The pressure of the steam coming out, you could use that for most of the uses for steam in the vehicle. I'm sold that there's a steam extractor under $500

[@imjoshv]

Yeah the price is amazing

[@ILruffian]

Looks like they responded to user input and fixed the hose storage. The junction between the hose and grip was a known problem on the Spot Clean Pro. Pressure from how the hose was stored was cited as the problem on most reviews.

Bro, Great review, I love how you go into detail and cover most; it would have been nice to see a portion done with the bit of head over there to actually see a result and suction quality for this part as well.

[@throway88]

@imjoshv how does the suction power compare between this new one and the spotcleaner pro (regular or pet) for when you have more liquid vs steam?

[@NicBroo]

This is my question, too. That will probably determine which I buy...

[@larryseibold4287]

what is the temperature of the "steam"? I assume that you used ~115F water? Where is the heating element (base unit or head)? My assumption is that it is being heated only a few degrees (like 20F), but mainly atomized (not steam at all, as it will be much less than 212F even at the plastic nozzle). Being powered by a 15A 120v circuit, is is going to be highly limited in delta T and flow. Using a plastic nozzle is a clear indicator that the "steam" temperature is under 175F, as it warp. I would like to see the hose be 4ft longer. I personally would like to use the unit with no extension cord for the lest amount of voltage drop, so I would like to see a 20ft 14 gauge SVTW 15A rated cord.

[@XyXInc]

Its good for small jobs, but area rugs just are a pain with such a small unit. I'm gonna grab the upright one they have with steam. It sucks the upright version doesn't dispense steam from the wand, but i know the next gen will likely incorporate that.

[@herbkilian]

😊 Excellent review, very impressive overall. I learned all I wanted to know.

[@80srockerable]

I assume could accomplish similar result using a handheld clothing steamer followed by the vacuum of a traditional spot cleaner.

[@mattrassi]

Nice video! Do you know if the bigger extractor head fits and works in the pet clean pro! I really liked this 5 inch head, I think it'll be easier to clean my couch!

[@717dash_cam]

Interesting, unlike a traditional steamer it's got to evacuate the water that's had time to cool in a tube thats sucking in cold air while in use, so it happens faster than a traditional steamer. The old saying 'A Jack of all trades, a Master of none' comes into play here. It does its job(s) well enough for the home user, as long as the home user is willing to put the time into pretreating and agitating with other tools. I wouldn't get rid of two functional appliances that are really good at what they do for this, and I'm not sure I would consider it if one were to fail while the other is fully functional and in good condition either. I think if you're a light user with neither a spot cleaner or steamer I would consider it, especially for fresh stain pick-up and places a regular carpet cleaner can't get to to remove and sanitize pet stains. Otherwise, the broader range of things I can do, and more precisely with an actual steamer, separate appliances still makes sense; Cleaning window tracks, bathroom and kitchen sanitization stain and crud busting.

[@vermontmotorsports1275]

IMO these aren't applicable for professional detailers. I bought the Bissel extractor when I was first starting out and within my first detail I was super frustrated. The suction on the wand is garbage and the tank is so small that you are constantly dumping and/or refilling the unit. Get a Mytee head attachment for you vac and that combined with the McCulloch, etc etc you will see much more efficient results. But that's my opinion

[@imjoshv]

Yea I agree with you 100%. But for those that are tight on budget or just for the diyer these make sense. I have to extractors.. one from adams and then I have the mytee lite 2 as well. Then I also have the rip clean vacuum extractor kit as a back up

[@altillman1448]

These are FANTASTIC for new detailers. Awesome they added the hydrosteam feature. For the small capacity clean/dirty tank issue all you have to do is buy additional accessory tanks under Parts for Model 3618 for $33/set. I would buy 2x more of each personally + the sole plate castor wheels! You can hot swap the tanks in & out easily while working on a job. I would recommend buying back up small/large wand tools and their hydrorinse recirculating self cleaning hose tool. I used the Pro version with Superior Products Zap It years ago early on and it paid for itself on the 2nd shampoo job. I paid cash for my heated Mytee 4 months later from the profits.

- Well main difference is Hydrosteam has a steam function and the Pro doesn’t. - Both have the same hose length. - Pro comes with 2 head attachments different sizes (but can also buy extra attachments) - Hydrostream has 3 attachments and a self-rinse attachment (think it depends on when you got it or country. Cuz from some videos I’ve seen ppl only got two attachments same in this video ) - Pro has far better suction but I should also point out the Pro is way louder than the Hydrosteam.

[@Rumbus528]

Bought one of these and immediately returned it. The suction was very weak, and I could hold my hand under the nozzle with "steam" blasting away. Not a strong product at all.

With any extractor you just want to make sure to use a low foaming cleaner. Otherwise it will fill the tank too fast

[@E85_STI]

Anyone else that owns this are you able to keep your hand in the path of the steam for longer than 10 seconds? I let the machine run for 3 mins which the light for steam was on and the steam comes out warm not hot so the machine does produce steam but just not like my McCullough steamer does so it won’t sanitize an area with heat. Maybe I’m doing something wrong or not letting the machine heat up long enough for hot steam. The unit isn’t defective and is working as it should.

[@doodlebug1820]

Yeah, I have to put my hand very close to the nozzle and hold it there for it to feel super hot. It's not really a 'steam cleaner' its a vacuum that has steam on the nozzle. Now I still love it, I can see it blowing apart the carpet fibers and the hot cloud does get in there and do work. I can see the results in the dirty tank and its done very very well for me. But I can definitely see how some people might think its a high power steamer, then get disappointed when they realize it's not.
