The catch
BISSELL Little Green
With such a short attachment hose, you end up repositioning the body around a sofa or vehicle.
Side by side
BISSELL Little Green 1400B vs Little Green Mini 4075 Compared: Mini saves carrying and closet space, and 1400B stretches spot sessions
Quick verdict
As a general household spot cleaner, the 1400B is the better pick, since its 48-ounce tank goes farther. The seven-pound Mini is the choice for a small apartment, a car kit or a closet where every inch and pound counts.

What this page compares
The smallest current Little Green goes up against the established 48-ounce portable.
This one comes down to weight and clean capacity first, then to the limits of your own setup.
Day to day
How each one fits your routine
Little Green's portable weight changes with a full clean tank
Fill the 48-ounce tank of Little Green 1400B and about 3.1 pounds of water join its 9.65-pound body, for roughly 12.8 pounds before recovery liquid. Mini's approximately seven-pound empty body appeals for frequent carrying, though its loaded total depends on the exact tank fill. Mini is the choice for brief remote spots when light carrying matters. 1400B is the choice when a larger supply helps and the heavier water-loaded setup is acceptable.
Where this comes from
Multiply 0.375 US gallon, which is 48 fluid ounces, by about 8.34 pounds per gallon. The result is an approximate partial working total. It makes no claim about carrying comfort or a recommended filled carry.
Confirm the rinse tool in your actual box
HydroRinse is in Mini's reviewed package, but the current 1400B manufacturer listing also names that accessory. If flushing the hose after a pet spot matters, confirm the tool the exact seller includes and do not assume the larger Little Green lacks one. Once the actual rinse accessory is confirmed, pick Mini for its smaller carried package or 1400B for its larger supply.
Where this comes from
One cleanup step is where a hose-rinse attachment helps. It does not empty, wash and dry the dirty tank for you, and the current 1400B bundle inconsistencies should stay on your buying checklist.
