Rug Doctor Pro Deep Oxy Pack Carpet Cleaner, Large, Red

Good rug cleaner!

First off, we have tried every consumer brand of home carpet cleaner and haven't really been satisfied. This model was chosen first due to it being a commercial style machine with a high rating. Our first impression was disappointment, the pump wouldn't pump and the 800 help line wasn't any help. They basically just read the troubleshooting section of the owners manual. 1 quick online search and I found that some new machines get air locked and will not allow cleaning solution into the small inlet hole (blue arrow). Two seconds w/ the activation handle pulled and a toothpick inserted into hole fixed the not priming issue. WoW! This thing extracts water and dirt like no machine I've used before. A week after a 'professional national carpet cleaning company' charged me $400, this red machine pulled stains and dirt left behind. Worth every penny, IMO.

I own rental property and was quoted $250 to deep clean by a professional van based type of cleaner. I couldn’t get a guarantee that all the stains would come up so I put that $250 into this rug doctor Pro and hoped for the best, and if it didn’t pull it off I’d have a good cleaner for my house at least. It did a pretty solid job. All that’s left is some minor marks and carpet lightening in the high traffic areas, but the house is rentable without having to install new carpets! First 3 pictures are before, last there are the same rooms after. The very last picture shows the difference in what one pass with this thing did on the filthy carpet. Look at the difference between that row and the rest of what I was about to tackle. I only gave it less than 5 stars for ease of use because it is big and you will get a workout if you do the whole house.

Works well.But i'm more out by the time I get done

This carpet cleaner is absolutely worth the cost. It is the same model that for years I would rent from stores in town. I finally decided to buy one of my own and it was the best choice to make. It is very user friendly. The water containers are decently sized but not so big they are difficult to carry when full of water. When turned on, the cleaner doesn't run so loudly that it hurts your ears. Also, it is very easy to move while cleaning. I love knowing that my carpets are clean, especially with having a pet in the house.
