The Little Green's compact size makes it easy to store, and according to the manufacturer, it can even be stored with water and cleaning solution inside, so it's ready to go whenever you need it. In our testing, it lifted the coffee and orange juice stains without leaving behind any trace, while the ketchup and potting soil were very faint after just a few passes: 'The ones that remained had been sitting for quite some time and had definitely set in, but if I'd been able to clean right after the stain hit the floor I have no doubt they would have come right up,' says one tester.Īlthough the base itself is fairly lightweight at just under 10 pounds, you'd mostly be maneuvering the stain remover tool, which connects to the eight-foot hose. In addition to its adorable turtle-shell appearance, it's extremely effective at removing stains. This tiny but mighty carpet cleaner has a cult following for a reason. Who it isn't for: People who want to deep clean large carpeted areas. Who it's for: People who want a carpet cleaner for spot treating spills and messes.

Emptying and cleaning the tank is an easy, mess-free process in part due to the self-cleaning hose that flushes after each use. One tester described this carpet cleaner as 'cleverly designed,' thanks to its compact size, easy-to-carry center handle, and wraparound hose-although we wish the hose was slightly longer. Finally, scrub the carpet clean by pushing the nozzle pack and forth over the stain. To use, first push the nozzle of the tool onto the stain while slowly pulling it towards you to suction up any excess liquid before spraying the stain with a cleaning solution. But unlike the Little Green, it features a dual tank-one for dirty water and one for clean, so you won't need to stop and refill. We found it to be extremely effective at spot treating stains, second only to the Bissell Little Green.

This lightweight and portable carpet cleaner is well under the average price of those we tested, yet its performance and design resemble that of a much more expensive unit.

Who it's for: People who want a more affordable carpet cleaner that has separate tanks for clean and dirty water.

Keep in mind that it's on the heavier side of those we tested, as it is a full-size upright carpet cleaner.

(Note: Our testers found the hose attachment to be a little difficult to set up on the first try.) In terms of attachments and accessories, this carpet cleaner comes with an eight-foot hose and a pet tool for spot treating stains or tackling hard-to-navigate areas such as stairs or upholstery. Finally, the dual tank system keeps the water and cleaning solution separate from the dirty water tank, so there's no need to constantly empty and refill. You can also give it a few more passes with the 'dry only' setting to remove as much moisture as possible, which is particularly useful for area rugs that can hold onto a lot of water. Plus, it automatically switches between wet and dry cleaning-simply push forward to wash, pull back to dry. This carpet cleaner comes with a number of special features that sets it apart from the competition, including an automatic cleaning solution dispenser that mixes and dispenses the cleaning solution as you go and a detachable pretreat stain remover wand for removing set-in stains. 'The pre-treat wand was easy to use and really helped the machine remove most of the deep stains.'

It received high marks in our testing for its ability to remove tough stains, in part thanks to the included pre-treat wand: 'This Hoover carpet cleaner really impressed me, and it was one of the best at removing stains,' says one tester. You don't need to have pets to make use of this versatile upright carpet cleaner-although pet owners will certainly appreciate its ability to tackle pet stains and odors. Who it isn't for: People who are looking for a lightweight carpet cleaner. Who it's for: People who want an upright carpet cleaner with attachments for spot treating stains.
