I was looking to buy like a bissell "little green clean machine" or something similar to do personal detailing. Anyone have any experience or recommendations with any of these machines?

I just got one but have not used it yet. I use to use a larger floor model with the upholstery attachment and it worked great.

It works for what it is... a $50 el-cheapo "extractor." I've used it with good results, but don't expect it to work miracles in a hurry. I used to spend half an hour cleaning a floor mat. The key is in the pre-treatment and the scrubbing, then you use the LGCM to extract out the excess.

I'm finally upgrading to a real extractor, which isn't practical for most people.
