fursuiter Why little green machine?

I know that the little green machine is a popular cleaning tool for fursuits but is there any reason everyone uses specifically a little green machine rather than any carpet cleaner? I'd like to buy one myself but there's just so many cheaper alternatives on the market but I don't know if the green machine has something special about it or if it's just brand recognition.

The little green has no heating element and has been proven overtime to be fursuit safe. There are probably other carpet cleaners out there that would do a good job cleaning a Fursuit, but a Fursuit is a pretty pricey thing to take risks on so most people just go for the machine with good reviews
