Bissel Little Green Clean Machine... close





Wal-Mart carries em. You won`t be disappointed.



FWIW, I bought the unheated version which is considerably cheaper. I just ask the customer (or do it myself) to fill up my hot water tank (about 1.5 liters). I fill it up with hot water and am all set!

Oh no more gear to buy.



Don`t cut into my Cyclo money.

I have a clear adapter that hooks up to the end of my wet/dry vac so I know when all of the dirt is sucked up. I guess the LGCM has a water spray though and maybe some brush built in? Since I already have the clear part of it down, do you think the other features of the LGCM are worth the cost? Or was the clear suction piece the main reason you like it?

dcswd: I like it because of the hot water shooting at the carpet first. It allows you to thoroughly rinse the solution out of the carpet with no residue left behind.



You are right about the clear head. It`s makes me feel good that I now know when all of the dirt is out

hmm.. u might be on to something... and my mom already has the LGCM and the heated one at that... hmm.. i wonder if she`ll notice its missing...

[B]here is a b4 and after using seans method and followed by my LGCM, although not perfect i think it is a drastic improvement

thanks GSRstilez :up[B]



So did you scrub the carpets with the oxy clean mixture then just use the bissell to suck the water out?

[AutoNova]

I tried using oxi-clean in the heated LGCM and it did not disolve the mixture, I wonder why? Also I used this on a car with a black interior and it left white residue which could have been a mixture issue.

[rrcvc]

so what is better to use??? the heated LGCM or a 4-5hp Wet/Dry Vac.....im debating which one will have better suction/extraction

[imported_becks]

I can`t seem to find the APC at Costco up here in Canada. Has anyone seen it at Costco either in Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal?

[imported_Jon P. Nusbaum]

I would be willing to bet that nearly all wet/dry vacs have more suction than the LGCM, I have and use both.

[stilez]

fng: A ShopVac for better suction, a LGCM for a cleaner surface. To me, it`s worth spending a couple more minutes with the LGCM to get a cleaner surface.

Ok, so if you use the LGCM do you need to disolve the mixture before you put in the container or if the LGCM is a heated model can you let it sit and dissolve?

I don`t know if this was directed at me or not, but I`m happy to throw in my two cents... :bounce



As has been said previously, the LGCM may be better suited as a rinsing device. Use a separate spray bottle or other method to apply a cleaner (such as the Oxy misture), then agitate with a brush, and finally, use the LGCM with plain water to rinse the cleaner and dirt from the carpet or upholstery. This will reduce the amount of residue remaining on the fabric and provide a very clean surface.



I know that doesn`t answer your question at all . Sorry.



Have a nice evening.
