I had the Bissell little green spot cleaner and hated how much it fell apart on me and how hard it was to clean after use and the lasting smells it would hold. I decided to finally upgrade to the Shark Stain Striker which truly allows me to deal with the stains effectively and the cleanup and storage is lightyears ahead of the Bissell. I also find the cleaning solution is way more effective in getting the tougher stains out of my carpet. Best product for pet parents or toddler spills.
