GIVEAWAY ~ Bissell Little Green Machine (closed)

by mommy23monkeys on April 4, 2009

Do you have kids? Then you have stains! And since you have stains, you NEED a Bissell Little Green Machine.

I really don’t know how I survived my life before I got this amazing little machine delivered to my door. We have a big carpet shampooer/steamer thing. It’s huge. But I’ve always appreciated having it…came in handy after all 3 boys suffered a stomach bug! Well, wouldn’t you know that one of the twins conveniently suffered a stomach bug right after I opened my new Bissell? Yeppers. I was actually happy the little guy was sick because it meant I could really try the thing out.

Let me not get ahead of myself here.

My Bissell arrived at my door courtesy of Wal Mart and Bissell in conjunction with Wal Mart’s Earth Month celebration. Wal Mart currently has a You Tube channel devoted to environmental tips and reviews. I made a couple videos that might end up on there before the end of the month. How’s that for special? One of my videos happens to be the following Bissell Green Machine review. Take a look…don’t laugh!

The thing I loved most about this little machine? It REALLY works! And it works fantastic! As you can see in my video, it took that dining room stain up in no time at all. I don’t even know what that stain was it had been there so long. But as I mentioned above, Dennis got sick like 3 days after making my video and he barfed all over the hallway. I just whipped my Little Green Machine out and had the stain cleaned up lickety split. Before I had this machine, I would have wasted an entire pack of baby wipes cleaning it up. How’s that for not being environmentally friendly?

Speaking of environmentally friendly…Bissell has put a lot of thought into this version of the Little Green Machine. They took out all the PVC from the holding tanks and hoses, built it using no less that 50% post consumer recycled plastic, they reformulated the cleaning solution and they repacked the machine with all cardboard…no styrofoam or PVC inserts.

And the boxes make for fun, too!

So this month, do yourself, and the Earth, a favor. Get yourself a Bissell Little Green Machine. You can buy one right from Bissell, or you can pick one up from Wal Mart. I promise that you won’t be disappointed by this compact, powerful and Earth friendlier little machine.

Oh, but wait a second…..

I have one to GIVEAWAY! YAY!

Would you like to WIN yourself one of these handy little gadgets? Of course you would. Courtesy of Bissell and WalMart, one of my very lucky readers will get one of their very own shipped to their door.

Wow! I loved your video too! You did a great job! I would LOVE to win one of these. We are trying to be more green here at the Scott household. We are recycling, and I have recently switched all of our lightbulbs in our house to those new energy wise ones. (you know, the funny shaped ones…LOL) Anyway, we also (out of neccesity) replaced our old water heater with a more energy wise, flow demand water heater. So, there you go that is a few of the changes we have mad here to be more ‘Green’
As a mom to 6 kids, I would love (and need) to win this. Thank you for the opportunity.

We are trying to go green by doing things such as using a floor steamer on our carpets and linoleum instead of using harmful chemicals. This way, we only have to use water and the power of steam to clean…it’s great! For other parts of the house, we use eco-friendly cleaning products.

Thanks for the chance. I have been wanting one of these to spot clean our carpets.

49 Cindi April 4, 2009 at 9:40 pm

Hello, What a fabulous prize giveaway drawing! I could certainly use this green cleaning machine in our home. Our carpeted stairway that goes upstairs gets dirty constantly. I sit on each step trying to remove spots. Our family made a commitment early in the year to become more green. We are taking baby steps. We turned down the temperature on the water heater and take no longer than 5 minute showers! Also, we turned down the thermostat and wore warmer clothes indoors. We have always recycled and we now each have our own reusable water bottle.
Hopefully, we will continue to become more eco-conscious. Please enter my name in your fantastic giveaway prize drawing.
Many thanks, Cindi

50 Andi April 4, 2009 at 9:48 pm

We stopped using plastic bags when we go to the market, we take our own.

I’ve been cooking more in the mocrowave because it uses alot less power then the stove/range. Also recycling even the littlest things like reusing paper and using more glass.

62 Cynthia C April 5, 2009 at 1:41 am

I’m doing everything I can – driving less, recycling, changing out light bulbs, turning off lights, etc. Thanks for the giveaway.

I actually had been living green long before it was fashionable. I always recycled, I never leave lights on when no one is in the room, and I have been cleaning with simple green products for many years. Thats just a few of the things I did.
I could really use this machine. I have a full size bissell shampooer, but for little spots and stains, the little green machine would be much handier!

We switched to CFL bulbs, unplug things when we arent using them ( like the cable box, tvs, microwave), use reusable totes for grocery shopping. We also got rid of our landline phone since we rarely used it ( we use our cell phones) – plus we had a portable in every room which needed the base to be plugged into an outlet.

In our household we are doing several things to go green. We are recycling everything that we can (milk jugs, newspapers, magazines, etc.) We have also switched all of our light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs and conserving our electricity and water usage. Thanks so much for such a wonderful giveaway, I could definitely use this around my house with two active little girls!
