Head-to-head
Little Green HydroSteam vs Pet Pro: Pet Pro carries lighter with more hose reach, steam needs compatible stains
The short answer
HydroSteam is the focused choice for compatible oily or set stains. Pet Pro is easier to recommend for recurring accidents because it is lighter, has a longer hose and includes dedicated hair and crevice tools.

About this comparison
Steam-assisted stain work against higher-capacity pet cleanup.
The practical choice turns on steam and weight, then on the constraints in your own setup.
Before you choose
How they fit your plans
Equal clean tanks leave the body-weight gap intact
Both hold 64 ounces of clean water, about 4.2 pounds before formula. Their listed body weights therefore become roughly 17.2 pounds for HydroSteam and 15.2 pounds for Pet Pro before recovery liquid. If you frequently carry the cleaner to car seats or upstairs furniture, Pet Pro keeps its approximate two-pound advantage without sacrificing nominal clean capacity. Choose HydroSteam when its approved steam modes are useful enough to justify the heavier package.
Facts behind this advice
These estimates add the same water load to the published 13- and 11-pound bodies. They do not predict lifting comfort or advise carrying a full machine on stairs.
A fabric that permits extraction may still exclude steam
HydroSteam's three modes give it an additional heat-based option, but the furniture manufacturer's care instructions must permit the chosen treatment. If the upholstery allows water extraction but forbids steam, use an approved non-steam process rather than buying for the steam feature. Pet Pro is a simpler fit when that is the whole intended job. If the material excludes water extraction, neither is established suitable.
Facts behind this advice
Steam availability and surface compatibility are separate questions. This does not claim that every HydroSteam mode uses steam or transfer the upright 4123's stain chart to this different portable 3618 model.
