Our verdict

It's not a whole-house carpet cleaner, and it doesn't try to be. For spot-cleaning couches, car seats and pet messes, the Little Green is one of the most genuinely useful — and satisfying — gadgets you can own.

The short version

If you've seen the satisfying 'look what came out of my couch' videos, this is the machine behind them. The Little Green sprays a cleaning solution, scrubs and suctions set-in stains and pet messes out of upholstery, carpet and car interiors — and the dirty water you pour out is weirdly motivating.

Frequently asked questions

What can it clean?

Upholstery, carpet, rugs, stairs, car seats and other fabric surfaces — anywhere you get spots and stains.

Is it cordless?

No, it's corded, which keeps the suction strong throughout the job.

How big is the tank?

It's a compact portable unit, so larger jobs mean a couple of refills — but that's the trade-off for the small size.

Does it really work on old stains?

It's designed to lift set-in stains and pet messes, and the visible results are exactly why it went viral.
