What to know
The Little Green 1400B fills the gap between blotting a spill by hand and bringing out a full-size carpet cleaner. Its separate clean and dirty water tanks, spray tool, and suction are well suited to targeted jobs on couches, stairs, pet areas, and car seats. It is portable, but not cordless, and it is intended for spot cleaning rather than refreshing an entire room of carpet. Buyers should also plan for cleanup after cleanup: tanks, tools, and the hose need to be rinsed and dried so residue and odors do not linger.
Key features
- 01A 48-ounce clean-water tank provides useful capacity for several small spots without turning the machine into a full-size cleaner.
- 02The hose and 15-foot power cord offer enough reach for stairs, furniture, and vehicle interiors near an outlet.
- 03Spray, agitation, and extraction happen through handheld tools, giving the user direct control over each stained area.
- 04Separate clean and recovery tanks prevent used solution from returning to the surface.
- 05Its compact body stores more easily than an upright extractor, but whole-room carpet cleaning would be slow.
