If you are a hobbyist and can't afford a $700 dollar unit than the LGM is a great option for you.

If you are a hobbyist/aspiring detailer...the LGM is a great option for you.

If you are a professional detailer with a growing business...the LGM is not the best option. A professional grade hot water extractor would be the better choice.

Hope this helps,

Boom.

Then it leaves nasty clumps of puke stuck in the shop vac hose. I'm thinking this could be better because the water would flush it through. Is the suction as strong as a regular house vac?

Why not use a napkin or something similar to remove the cat puke before cleaning it? I would not use my vac or bisell for that.

I've gone through 2 LGM in the past and it was the sprayer that died on both of those machines. Still extracted the same, just lost the benefit of spraying the hot cleaning solution.

A lot of times the machines need to be descaled, much like a coffee pot. When mine would start spraying weakly, I'd flush it with white vinegar. That always made it good as new.

Also make sure the fresh water tank is fully seated in the machine, or it can suck air, causing problems.
You really can't beat them for the price. They work well for ~$100.

I'm pretty sure that it was the pump failed, but I will check it again. Its still in the garage collecting dust. If I can hear the pump making noise then I will try cleaning with the vinegar. You're right for $100 (or a bit less) it served its purpose well.

Sometimes when I first fire up the machine I have a very hard time getting it to spray water, but once it starts spraying it's usually fine.
I just hate how it spits out cold water if you stop spraying for a minute since it sits in the hose and cools off.

From Bissell Customer Care:

"Hi Kyle,

We're glad you contacted us.

Yes, the heater on your Little Green will heat the water 25 degrees hotter; up to 170 degrees. So you could us tap water that is up to 145 degrees."
