Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Put tank capacities in the same units
Clean-liquid capacity is 0.5 US gallon for Little Green Pet Pro and 0.38 for Little Green. The gap between them is 16 fluid ounces, before recovery-tank limits come into play.
Where this comes from
128 US fluid ounces =1 US gallon. The capacities on record are 64 and 48 fl oz. Converting puts tank volume on one scale and says nothing about cleaning coverage.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Put tank capacities in the same units
Clean-liquid capacity is 0.5 US gallon for Little Green Pet Pro and 0.38 for Little Green. The gap between them is 16 fluid ounces, before recovery-tank limits come into play.
How we worked this out
128 US fluid ounces =1 US gallon. The capacities on record are 64 and 48 fl oz. Converting puts tank volume on one scale and says nothing about cleaning coverage.
Factor in the water before you lift
Filling the clean tank puts roughly 4.17 pounds of water weight on Little Green Pet Pro and 3.13 pounds on Little Green. Follow the manual when you move and fill them.
How we worked this out
Approximate water mass = clean capacity in US gallons ×8.34 lb/gal. Inputs 64/128 and 48/128 gallons. The real total shifts with formula concentration, leftover dirty water and tools.
Pet Pro gains one-third more clean capacity and 1.35 pounds of empty weight
The 64-ounce tank is 33% bigger than the 48-ounce tank on the 1400B, and empty weight goes from 9.65 to 11 pounds.
How we worked this out
(64 / 48 - 1) × 100 = 33.3%. 11 - 9.65 = 1.35 lb. Knowing the clean capacity does not tell you how much area gets cleaned.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | BISSELL Little Green Pet Pro | BISSELL Little Green | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Machine type | Portable spot cleaner | Portable spot cleaner | Using a spot cleaner in place of a whole-room upright is not efficient. |
| Nominal clean tank | 64 US fl oz | 48 US fl oz | Capacity does not promise area covered. |
| Empty weight | 11 lb | 9.65 lb | Weight goes up with water, tools and solution. |
| Hose | 5 ft | Maker page conflicts between 4 and 4.5 ft | Look at exactly what the bundle contains, and at any model documentation that disagrees. |
| Power cord | 15 ft | 15 ft | Usable reach depends on outlet position. |
| Cleaning system | Manual formula mixing, pet and crevice tools | Manual solution mixing and hose extraction | A feature list cannot name a winner without a matched cleaning test. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With BISSELL Little Green Pet Pro
- Cleaning a whole carpeted room with the portable head is inefficient.
With BISSELL Little Green
- The current official 1400B page lists HydroRinse, but tool packs differ, so confirm what comes in the Amazon carton.
