Rental machine system doesn't seem very… Rental machine system doesn't seem very well controlled. Hired online, went to pick the machine up and there was no machine to take from locker. The 24h hire went out of the window. No customer service available at the time.

Yeah, but meh! The Rug Doctor gets out surface dirt and stains in the short term, but it's bulky and cumbersome to use with mediocre lasting results. Cleaning my wall-to-wall carpets took serious muscle to maneuver the machine everywhere, even after reading the instructions. And while the rug looked cleaner at first, the musty smell returned within days. Renting and hauling from the store was also a hassle. So for a quick fix in between professional deep cleanings, I’d maybe use Rug Doctor again. But for a truly clean and lasting result, I still prefer to call the experts.

A fan of the process Loved the access and software made it super easy - Loved the pay and go and easy returns I was traveling at my daughters house and needed a quick fix/clean before adding bunk beds to their children's room. The quality of the machine was very commercial but didnt draw up the water as well as my own Bissell--that makes all the difference on these machines--- as long as yo pour down warm/hot water the catch is drawing the water up effectively

Cleaning power Even the cheapest rug doctor cleaning liquid demonstrated an insane ability to pull filth from a carpet I didn't know was particularly dirty. I wanted to clean up a spot of vomit and ended up picking up about a boulder worth of dust and sand-like particles. Also, the vomit spot disappeared entirely, despite sitting there for several days.

Very helpful The machine I rented did not work properly. I didn’t have time to go back and exchange it that day. The next day I took machine back called them on phone they exchanged the machine and gave it to me for another day. Although it was a pain and disappointment I didn’t get my carpets cleaned in time for the baby shower I did get to clean it afterwards and now have clean carpets just in time for Christmas.
