Rug Doctor 1093170 Deep Carpet Cleaner, Plastic, 1300 W, 4.2 liters, Red/Grey

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.

Does exactly what it's says and does a very decent job, not to heavy, easy to use, not had any leaks and Does a decent job with cleaning different types off carpets, also carpet cleaner will effect the cleaning.

Delivered on time, in big box. Quite heavy. Opened up box every thing in order.Instructions easy to follow was cleaning carpets within one hour. Easy to use very good bit of kit would recommend. Only down side is that it is a little heavy but you are paying for a robust bit of kit which should stand the test of time. Gonna have to find storage space in garage now. :-)

I purchased a Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner mainly to try to get a bad smell from under the carpet layer, but also to treat some blood and food stains. The bad smell was due to the carpet being manually cleaned previously but not dried properly. By the time it was dry, we had almost basement like smell in the bedroom. I also purchased 2 litres of RugDoctor Carpet Detergent with SpotBlok.The device came assembled with the only separate part being handheld upholstery attachment with hose. There was also 500ml sample of detergent in the box.Prons:- Clean water tank has a measure for solution build in lid.- Both clean and dirty water tanks are very easy to detach and lift with a handle- Both tanks have hole big enough for someone with small hands to dry it inside with the towels.- Separate sprinkle at the back of the cleaner, activated with a special dial for heavily soiled carpets.- Not activating the main red cleaning button during the usage let's you suck up excessive water from the carpetCons:- The device is quiet loud- Clean water tank gets emptied fast. Especially if you use additional sprinkle.- Lack of option to remove the rotating brush after use and clean the brush and the compartment where it operates. THIS WAS A MAJOR DOWNSIDE FOR ME. After 1 hour of use the brush and part of the device where it sits was extremely dirty and there was just no option to clean it.SUMMARYIt rather refreshed my carpet than cleaned. Advised dose of solution is 60ml for standard cleaning and 120ml for a dirty carpet. I used 240ml of solution and it still did not work as expected. The smell did not go away and carpet was more refreshed than cleaned. Unless you are planning to use it very often, renting more powerful device for £30 for occasional cleaning is better and more reasonable option.Sometimes....you just need a new carpet I guess.
