Can't wait until Prime Day? The Bissell Little Green portable cleaner is already on sale on Amazon — it has 16,000 reviews
The powerful cleaning tool has earned more than 16,900 customer reviews, which is promising enough. But if. you're curious to see if the "easy to assemble" cleaner is worth the hype, I put the Bissell Little Green Portable Cleaner to the test. Scroll down for my honest review.
This "impressive and effective" spot cleaner makes deep cleaning a breeze.
💵 Price: $105 (originally $140)
⏰ Used for: Over two years
⭐ Our rating: 5/5
🛍️ Reasons to buy: This portable cleaner can be used on carpets, upholstery, couches, auto interiors and gets rid of stains like nobody's business.
✋ Reasons to avoid: If your house/apartment doesn't have a ton of carpets or upholstered furniture that could use some TLC.
There are few things more satisfying than giving your home a good scrub down, and the Bissell Little Green Portable Cleaner is my fave device to bust out when my place starts looking a little worse for wear. Since first testing it out at the beginning of 2023, it's become a staple in my deep cleaning routine (and is absolutely essential if you have pets).
But I'm not the only one who is singing its praises — TikTok views for the hashtag #bisselllittlegreen has amassed millions of views to date.
To see why everyone keeps raving about it, keep reading for the full review.
The Bissell Little Green Portable Cleaner is a compact gadget that'll bust through spots, stains and built-up grime. When it's locked and loaded with the Bissell Professional Spot & Stain + Oxy Formula cleaner (don't worry, the machine comes with a trial size) it'll work some serious magic. Speaking of extras, it comes with a standard hose tool and a special stain tool that'll help you get deep into fabric fibres so you'll get the results your looking for.
It also has removable water tanks that make refilling and swapping out dirty water a breeze during the cleaning process.This was sort of an impulse purchase — I didn't think I needed it when I ordered it, but now I can't live without it. I've used it on my area rugs, couch and my mattress. I honestly didn't know how gross my stuff was until I put this to work. I vacuum regularly, I spot clean when I need to, and I'm not exactly careless with my furniture, but the colour of the water in its tank was absolutely disgusting when I got through, like, a quarter of one carpet.
It's super intuitive to use — you just pull the trigger on the hose while gliding it across whatever surface your cleaning. It's also very lightweight, which is great when you have the tote it up and down stairs during cleaning sprints.
Plus, it gets rid of lurking odours. My dog loves soft surfaces, which means my couch and carpets smell like her. This gets rid of that in a flash, which is probably one of the best things about it.
Amazon Canada shoppers are also downright obsessed with the Bissell Little Green Portable Cleaner. It has more than 16,000 reviews and an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars.
One reviewer who has children and pets says stains are "easily taken care of" with this in their arsenal. They use it on car seats and couches and note that it gets rid of both odours and liquids when their little one has an accident.
One reviewer loves how small and portable it is, saying it fits even in petite closets. They rave about how it leaves they're carpets looking amazing and love that they don have to haul "the giant rug cleaner out' to get rid of stains.
And a ton of people also love using it to clean their car interiors. One reviewer who used it on their car seats, mats, and interior was "amazed at how clean they came out."

Amazon still has 100s of extended Canada Day deals ahead of Prime Day 2025
Prime Day is still 5 days away, but the Fire TV Stick is already 50% off
Yes, it can be hard to justify spending $105 on a deep cleaning tool if you think your cleaning skills are 10/10, but I have been humbled by this machine (and so have reviewers). If you've got pets, kids, or are prone to spilling on your furniture, I highly suggest investing in it — you won't be disappointed. And of course, you'll want to snag it now when it's 25 per cent off.

I've Traveled for 20+ Years, and These 16 Prime Day Deals Are Must-haves for International Trips—From $10
I've been covering Amazon Prime Day as a shopping writer for almost five years now. That, combined with my more than 20 years of travel experience, has helped me master where to find the best deals on everything from luggage and travel accessories to comfy shoes and airport outfits. Leading up to the event, I always have a list of must-have items that I wait until the major sale event to purchase (because it's when discounts are at their steepest). Now that Prime Day deals are officially available, my top picks are currently up to 43 percent off, and I'm telling everyone I know to buy them. Some of my must-haves include Samsonite luggage, Skechers sneakers, and more for as little as $10. And, if you really want to shop like a pro, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial Amazon Prime membership to score two-day free shipping on most items. Keep reading to check out all my writer-approved Prime Day deals. Sellout risk: Apple AirTag 4-pack, $75 (orig. $99) Apple AirTag 4-pack, $75 (orig. $99) Hot item: Bagail Packing Cubes Set, $24 (originally $35) Bagail Packing Cubes Set, $24 (originally $35) Carry-on pick: Samsonite Freeform Spinner Carry-on Luggage, $147 (originally $180) Samsonite Freeform Spinner Carry-on Luggage, $147 (originally $180) $10 find: Travel Inspira Portable Luggage Scale, $10 (originally $13) Travel Inspira Portable Luggage Scale, $10 (originally $13) Best-seller: Sampeel Two-piece Matching Set, $32 with on-site coupon (originally $35) Sampeel Two-piece Matching Set, $32 with on-site coupon (originally $35) Podiatrist-loved: Skechers Go Walk 5-honor Sneakers, $39 (originally $60) Skechers Go Walk 5-honor Sneakers, $39 (originally $60) Pilot-approved: Matein Carry-on Backpack, $30 (originally $43) Matein Carry-on Backpack, $30 (originally $43) Summer essential: Jisulife Portable Mini Fan, $18 (originally $20) Jisulife Portable Mini Fan, $18 (originally $20) Under $20 find: KuaiLu Flip-flops, $14 (originally $20) KuaiLu Flip-flops, $14 (originally $20) Toiletry organizer: Eachy Travel Makeup Bag, $24 (originally $30) My worst fear is losing my suitcase, which is why I've invested in luggage trackers. Apple AirTags use Bluetooth to connect to your iPhone's 'Find My' app, so you can keep a close eye on your checked bag from the moment you drop it off at airport check-in to when you arrive at your destination. It's also the size of a quarter, so it's small enough to slip inside a luggage pocket or even your wallet. This set of packing cubes has everything you could need to help keep your suitcase organized. There are 10 different-sized bags (including a shoe pouch) for you to sort your clothes by item or outfit. The mesh material lets you instantly see what's inside, so you can avoid unzipping everything to find that top you're looking for. This carry-on has become a Travel + Leisure favorite for its spacious interior, and smooth-rolling wheels that make it easy to maneuver through the airport. One traveler took it on 53 flights and said it's the perfect size to fit in an overhead bin, and that it could hold up to a week's worth of clothes. I'd rather know ahead of time if my luggage is overweight, which is why this digital luggage scale is so handy. It uses a flexible strap to secure around your suitcase's handle. Then all you have to do is lift the scale and the digital display tells you the exact weight of your bag. More than 5,000 of these matching sets have been purchased this month, so it's no surprise it's an Amazon best-seller. The fabric is so soft it feels like you're wearing 'next to nothing,' according to one shopper. Plus, another reviewer said it stayed wrinkle-free after a long flight to Hawaii. These Skechers sneakers have a slip-on design that makes them easy to take off and put on while going through airport security. They're made with the brand's special Air-Cooled Goga Mat technology that offers lightweight cushioning that's also breathable. One traveler wore them every day on a trip to Finland, Iceland, and Estonia where they averaged 20,000 steps a day, and said their feet were 'in Heaven.' Made with an expandable design and convertible straps, this travel backpack is a must-have for all travelers—it's no wonder the brand has become pilot-approved. The inside compartment can hold up to five days worth of clothes, according to the brand, and it has four compression straps to help keep your belongings secure. It's small enough to fit under most airplane seats, allowing it to replace a smaller personal item. When you're waiting in line at a theme park in 80-degree weather, or commuting on a train with weak air conditioning, pull out this mini fan for some instant relief. It has up to 19 hours of battery life on a single charge, and has two different speed settings. When you're done using it, fold the device into a compact size that's small enough to slip into your bag. Instead of wearing sneakers on a tropical vacation, you can throw on these flip-flops that have yoga mat-inspired insoles for extra arch-support. The thong is also made from a soft fabric that'll help prevent blisters. They come in 28 colors, so you can mix and match them with your beach outfits. This travel makeup bag has a clever design that lets you easily organize your toiletries. The bag opens wide enough that the compartments lay flat, so you can see everything inside at once. There's also a divider that's also a pouch, which can hold your makeup brushes,hair ties, or even jewelry. One reviewer said it was spacious enough to hold more than 20 products and keep everything organized. When I'm sightseeing, I like to have a portable charger with me to keep my phone at full battery. This Charmast charger has built-in cables, so you don't have to remember to pack a separate cord. It includes a variety of ports (including USB C and USB A) that can charge up to six devices at once, and it's slim enough to slip into a belt bag, so you can keep it within reach. Reviewers love the 'super soft and cooling' feel of Napfun's neck pillow, which has already been purchased more than 30,000 times in the past month. It's made with memory foam and can fold down into a more compact, travel-friendly size. One shopper slept with it on and off the plane for six months straight and called it a 'game-changer' for its comfort, breathability, and adjustability. One of the best deals I've spotted is on these Beats wireless headphones that come with 'amazing' battery life, as per one shopper. A single charge can last up to 40 hours, which is enough to get you through an entire day of traveling (and then some). It also has noise-cancelling technology that'll help block out airplane noise and distracting passengers. This genius charging station is a must-have for its ability to charge three Apple products at the same time, including your Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPhone. It also cuts down on how many charging cords you need to pack, and you only have to rely on one outlet when you're using it. There are thousands of travel bags to choose from during Prime Day, but this sleek style caught my attention for all of its handy features. It has a shoe compartment that'll keep your dirty footwear separate from your clothes, as well as a built-in USB port to instantly recharge your devices. Plus, the caddy strap lets you slip it onto your luggage to help keep a free hand. This crossbody bag is perfect for keeping your in-flight essentials within reach. You can wear it across your chest or waist, and it has a roomy main pocket that can hold your portable charger, phone, wallet, earbuds, and sunscreen. The most handy feature is the hidden back pocket that'll keep your passport and cash extra secure. Love a great deal?

China sidesteps question on TikTok after Trump says close to deal
China's government on Monday sidestepped a question on US President Donald Trump's recent claim that he 'pretty much' has a deal with Beijing to bring TikTok into American ownership and that talks with China over the popular short-video app could begin early this week. TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance is under pressure to spin off the short-video app's US operations by September 17 or face a ban in the United States. Last year, then President Joe Biden signed a sale-or-ban law, requiring ByteDance to divest the app to an American owner over national security concerns. Despite an original January deadline, Trump has repeatedly delayed enforcement of the law. 'China has reiterated its principle and position on issues related to TikTok on multiple occasions,' China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Monday in response to a request for an update on the latest TikTok talks, without providing further details. When previously asked about the TikTok deal, the Foreign Ministry has urged the US to provide an 'open, fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment' for Chinese businesses, and said that acquisition of businesses should be 'independently decided by companies in accordance with market principles.' The Chinese government has given little indication that it would approve a forced sale. In early 2023, a Commerce Ministry spokeswoman said in the government's first direct response to the matter that China would oppose any forced sale of TikTok, citing how a sale or divestiture of the app would involve 'exporting technology' and had to be approved by the Chinese government. TikTok's 'algorithm' is widely seen as the app's secret sauce behind its explosive popularity. In the US, TikTok boasts over 170 million monthly active users, according to the company early last year. Over 60% of American teens and about a third of American adults use the social media platform, according to a Pew Research Center study, for news, entertainment, or even to earn a living. On Friday, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that the US 'pretty much' has a deal on the sale of the app, though he said he's 'not confident' China would approve the deal. 'I think we're going to start Monday or Tuesday…talking to China perhaps President Xi or one of his representatives, but we pretty much have a deal on TikTok,' he said, referring to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He added the deal would 'probably' have to be approved by China. CNN has reached out to ByteDance and TikTok for comment. In late June, Trump said that there was a buyer for TikTok, teasing an announcement in two weeks. 'It's a group of very wealthy people,' he said on a Fox News program then, without providing more details. A deal that would transfer control of the app's US operations to American ownership had been on the horizon. But Trump's announcements of 'reciprocal' tariffs that brought levies on Chinese imports to the US to 54% on April 2 prompted China to pull out of the deal, CNN reported earlier. Based on the law, ByteDance can own no more than 20% of the platform in the final deal, and the app's US operations cannot coordinate with ByteDance on the app's algorithm or data-sharing practices. Alex Capri, a lecturer at the Business School of the National University of Singapore, told CNN that he doubts Beijing would approve the sale. 'Even if Beijing would choose to overlook the recent tariff hikes and ratcheting up of US export controls on Chip technologies, they still wouldn't grant export licenses for the algorithms,' he said. On Sunday, American tech media The Information reported that TikTok is building a new version of its app for US users to be launched ahead of the September deadline. Users will need to download the new app to continue using its platform while the existing app will shut down by March next year, it said. CNN's Fred He, Aleena Fayaz contributed reporting.
