Rug Doctor Deep Carpet Cleaner | 30% More Suction Power than Comparable Machines| Dual Cross Action Brushes | Upright Carpet Cleaner with Upholstery Attachment, 1300W

This is by far the Best Carpet Cleaner I have ever purchased, I have had several others including Vax machines but none of them match the Rug Doctor. I am a pet owner, pets tend to bring all sorts of muck into our homes. The Rug Doctor cleans well. Rotating brush bars and Lateral sliding rails agitate the carpet fibres as the cleaning solution sprays deep into the fibres. The suction power of the Rug Doctor is very powerful and retrieves around 85-90% of cleaning solution back into the machine leaving carpets almost dry. The hand wand is perfect for hard to reach areas or for pretreating a particularly soiled area the stiff bristles are perfect for getting deep into the fibres and again the suction is amazing. The two water tanks are quick and clean to fill and empty. I give this machine 5*.

This is my second rug doctor they are amazing - use mine all the time, carpet is slightly damp after use not like other cleaners, dry in 2 hours brings your carpet up like new , easy to use and very durable

Brilliant machine. I purchased this as the VAX Platinum Power Max Carpet Cleaner I currently own takes more time to clean it after use than it does to clean my carpets, plus they are left damp for days after using it. I looked online at the reviews of the Rug Doctor machine and it got really good reviews so I thought I would give it a try. So glad it did, it has left my carpets practically dry and is an absolute breeze to clean after use. No clogging of the brushes and to be honest I was really quite shocked at the dirt it removed despite cleaning the carpet I tested it on earlier this week. If you are thinking about buying a carpet cleaner you won't be disappointed. Worth mentioning I did phone Rug Doctor support as I couldn't make up my mind on whether to buy this one or the Trudeep version, I was told the only difference is the hand held tool so I opted for this one.

I typically rented a Rug Doctor machine from my local supermarket every year ahead of Christmas, so I'm familiar with the process of carpet deep cleans... But we recently gained a new puppy addition to the family who has been having accidents. Just after renting one again for £70 for 24hrs (with the detergent and enzyme) the puppy has a serious accident on the newly washed carpet. Rather than rent the cleaner yet again I took the plunge and bought this unit. My goodness... It was better than the rented unit by far. I was shocked at how grim the waste water was after redoing a landing area which had only been done three days before with the store rented unit. Out of curiosity I did the living room again and found that this unit pulled out much more dirt from the carpet. Dirt that the store rented unit was obviously missing. The unit was far less noisy than the store rented one (the store one seemed to thump the floor when in use), and this unit left the carpet much dryer (probably pulling the dirty water out better rather than leaving it on the carpet). This unit is less heavy than store rented units too, but the down side is that the fresh water tank is smaller so needed an an extra top up to finish a medium sided room. The attachment for stairs fits in easily but the coupler is made of plastic, which contrasts with that awkward metal one on the bigger rented units. Overall, this was great value for money, and reassuring to have on hand with the puppy still house training. The ease of use, and it's ability to fold the handle flat makes it easy to store and trivial to use more often to ensure we can keep on top of hidden carpet grimness. Very happy with my purchase. Wish I'd bought one years ago.

It is most effective if the amount of dark, brown water in the waste tank is anything to go by, on what was otherwise a seemingly cleanish carpet. The machine is quite heavy and thus can be difficult to move up and down stairs. The fill tank is pretty small, so plenty of refilling is needed on a bigger job. The waste tank is not so easy to clean out without dripping dirty water on the floor, so it needs to be done carefully and flushed out. Only tiny hands will fit through the discharge outlet on the waste tank, so I can't clean it out completely. The upholstery attachment is quite difficult to secure in place but it is nice and long. After first use, my light brown carpet is quite visibly cleaner than before.

I’ve bought many cheaper ones and failed to get the job done. This is the best I’ve ever had and the handheld part just as powerful. Also doesn’t leave the carpets wet dries really quickly. The attachments easy to assemble tad noisy obviously but with good tunes headphones it’s quick work!

I use to clean all my carpets with a Bissell spot cleaner which was ok, but use to leave the carpet wetter than I liked and it took me ages, so I got fed up and done some research on carpet washers that gave the best value for money in the mid range bracket, without getting a commercial one. I have to say using the rug doctor is so much better it has saved my back, and I really enjoy washing the carpets I find it like meditation and I like seeing the progress and seeing the dirty water knowing I am doing a good job, and seeing the final result. I think this is my first review ever, the machine is prebuilt and takes less thank 5 minutes to put together and up and running, if your not the strongest of persons it may be a bit heavy for you weighing 17kg but that weight helps push the machine into the carpet cleaning it a lot better, when using the machine its a pull back action whist pushing the button on top of the handle to release the the cleaning fluid, also there is a dial you can turn on the machine that sprays the cleaning fluid out the back giving it a chances to get deeper into the carpet before it is sucked up, it cleans in straight lines and I like that fact. you will go through quite a bit of cleaning fluid but that does not matter as it getting the carpets clean, emptying the dirty water tank is really easy just undo the lid and pour down the toilet, but be carful where the dirty water goes in from the machine can leak out there and make a mess, but you would have that problem with any design, it holds lots of water and picks most of it up, leaving it just damp to the touch unlike other carpet washers I have used. cleaning the dirty water tank I would recommend filling up the bath with water and submerge it in water and move it back and forth under the water to get the trapped hair and dirt where it goes in. I find it a great peace of kit and will be cleaning my carpets regularly with this device when it does eventually where out I will be sticking with rug doctor and moving to a commercial carpet cleaner, as I love cleaning the carpets and I am thinking on maybe starting a small carpet cleaning business, if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. I am really happy with thus product and you will not be disappointed, just remember to buy pre-spray carpet cleaner to get them extra nice.

After using another well known brand,2 machines in less than 12 months ,i took the plunge and went for a rug doctor, and I'm glad I did. Plug and play is the word,unbox open handle, fill it up ,plug it in and away you go. It really is that easy. 1st the cons which there are a couple 1 it's a wee bit heavy 2 tanks are a bit small Once you get used to using the machine these problems don't bother you. Now the pros 1 the suction is brilliant it dose what it says on the box 2 easy of use,pull it towards yourself and it dose it's work,use the trigger on handle to dispense the water 3 easy to clean waste tank big pour hold so a hand can reach inside if need be 4 easy to fill with water and cleaning fluid, the cap for water container is the measuring jug 5 big chunky handle with water dispenser switch placed just right 6 a hose that can be stored on the machine or separately, long reach and good suction, fiddly to fit at 1st but once you've done it a few times easy The carry handle is a great idea. Easy fit water and waste containers The fold down handle is a great idea,along with the hight selection Overall a great machine UPDATE Be careful the design is wrong concerning the handle, IT SNAPS you pull back and tilt to push forward after a few uses the handle snaps
