The delivery was fastit just took a matter of days to arrive at my doorstep after the order was placed. Unlike some of the bulky appliances in my space, this was lightweight to pick up and carry inside. To put things in perspective, the standard version of the cleaning tool is about 10 pounds and measures at around the size of a window HVAC unit. The mini is only seven pounds and has a footprint thats about of the size. In short, storage has been a breeze. It fits under my kitchen sink and easily tucks inside my storage closet without cramping the space.The setup itself was pretty intuitive. It came with a printout of the instructions that I followed to clip the power cord and four-foot cleaning hose properly to the appliance. From there, I filled up the clean water tank with warm water and the trial size cleaning solution that was included with my package. The only thing left was to attach the bristle brush to the hose and get to cleaning.The SpecsPhoto: Nashia BakerPhoto: Nashia BakerThis Bissell Little Green Mini resembles its full-size counterpart with the same signature stain remover tool. As mentioned, it comes with a bristle brush thats been a lifesaver with removing spillseven thick messes like mustard (more on that below!)from my carpet. The deep cleaner removes drippage after several passes (it took about 10-plus to get the aforementioned mustard off my rug, oops) using its suction power. Even though it has a spray component that is helpful for wetting and targeting dried-on spills with cleaning solution, I wouldnt classify it as a steam cleaner. The pressure I put on the handle allows the machine to pull and lift stains from the surface of fabrics.The VerdictIm officially a fan. The trending mini cleaning machine targets messes before stains set in, which is especially great for carpet cleaningand way more than the average vacuum can do. My only note is that it would be even better if it had a cordless design.Final verdict: I would recommend this upholstery cleaner to anyone like me who constantly battles with cleanup but doesnt want to compromise their space with a bulky gadget. The original has a larger tank capacity (a whopping 48 ounces in comparison to the minis 16-ounce tank) that might be a better fit for people who are tackling messes left and right throughout their home. And unlike the bigger version, this one is a lot less expensive if you dont want to commit to a steeper price tag. I havent been disappointed with my experience, but it comes with a two-year warranty, just in case.More AD-Approved Cleaning AppliancesFrom air purifiers to robot vacuums, browse below for even more cleaning essentials that have earned our editors stamps of approval to keep their homes spick-and-span:BISSELL Little Green Portable Spot and Stain CleanerDyson Gen5detect Absolute VacuumAmazonTerri WilliamsShark HydroVac MessMaster Cordless Wet-Dry VacuumAmazonNashia BakerCoway Airmega AP-1512HH(W) True HEPA PurifierRubbermaid Reveal Power ScrubberPhoto: Lauren ArzbaecheriRobot Roomba i3+ EVO (3554) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum
