Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 Commercial Carpet Cleaner – Large Red Pet Pack, Includes 48 oz. Pet Carpet Cleaner Solution, Commercial Carpet Cleaning Machine, Powerful One Pass Cleaning System

This is the BOMB! Works awesome! Powerful and easy to use. Works as good as professional cleaner. This is the same unit you will rent from Lowes or other stores for $50-60.

We have large area rugs all over our house and they get a lot of traffic. We also have dogs. For a couple of years we used a cleaning service which was expensive. then we rented rug cleaners from the local hardware store which became a frantic effort to get everything done in a weekend. So we bought this and are thrilled. Not a cheap investment but if you add up how much time and money we spent on rentals, returns and services this is a bargain. Plus it's there for our use any time so we can clean our rug on our schedule. It is very very effective and does a beautiful job. We got the stair wand which is a great feature, The machine itself is very well made and looks like it will last a long time and of course the company has been around for a while. Our rugs clean up beautifully with this and can be cleaned in situ in the house. Some time ago my wife bought a used oriental rug which had been stored in a barn. It was filthy. I wouldn't even let it in the house so we unrolled it in the driveway and I went to work on it with a hose and then the machine. It took couple of wash cycles but it came up good as new. This led me to repeat the exercise with a couple of our other heavily staned rugs. The hose soaking definitely helps. Clean up is simple.

Excellent cleaning! We have 7 dogs and this steam cleaner worked great on our new carpet. The floors dried quick and it was easy to use.

I bought this after my dog passed to do some deep cleaning of the carpets. I've rented these in the past but did not like the disgust factor of not knowing what it was last used for and if it was cleaned. Just like the rental machines, this did a great job, and did not leave the carpet soaked, but removed a good deal of the dirt. Unfortunately, I found that the upholstery attachment was leaking. I could have returned it, but was able to get what I needed to clean with that part done, despite the leaks. I then took it into a local repair shop and they were able to order the replacement under warranty no questions asked (it did take a bit more than a week though). I was also surprised when I called Rug Doctor after 5pm and they had support people working, which is great. Aside from the leak on the attachment, this is a great machine and really well built.I like that they use the HDPE type plastic rather than the hard plastic that can crack, which is something that has bothered me about the Bissel machines since I have had some of their consumer models end up with cracked tanks or other parts. The Rug Doctors seem to be designed to be fixed rather than discarded when they break down or have problems - for the most part at least, since they just swapped the leaking upholstery attachment rather than repairing it. If I could make one improvement though, it would be a level sensor for the clean and dirty tanks since it can be hard to know when it is getting low when running the machine with earplugs (which I would recommend since it is loud).

No more renting of the disgusting machines. Works great and best part I know where its been.

DO NOT BUY THIS. I would give this zero stars if possible. It worked once, then clogged. When we called the manufacturer, they told us the warranty was void because we used it (on a small space) in a commercial setting. It is called a Commercial Carpet Cleaner, and in the Amazon description it says "This machine is suitable for home, industrial, and commercial use, offering superior cleaning performance". They finally agreed to provide a small allowance for repair if we took the item to a repair shop over an hour away from us - over an hour each way - drop off and pick up - about 5 hours.

I owned a Bissell machine for many years and when it finally shifted off this mortal coil, I considered simply renting machines instead. You see, I have a cat or more precisely, the cat has me.There are are two kinds of people in this world: people who like cats and normal people. Cat lovers are deranged and cannot be reasoned with and insist on keeping wild felines inside the house. The most current incarnation of the spouse's cat likes to play a game called "Who Pooped?". To nobody's surprise, it's the cat - and it's often not in the litter box. In my heart, I don't think the Bissell carpet cleaner died. I think it figured out how to burn out its own motor rather than deal with another fecal pile. I don't blame it.Meanwhile, I have a large house of now stained and smell carpet, so cheers. Since felines projectile emit from both ends like a mammalian MIRV it makes sense to keep a powerful anti-feline device on hand. It also makes sense to have a machine that is simple to fill, clean and move. This largely succeeds.First, unlike other machines with two reservoirs - this has one to fill. You'll need a bucket, seriously. A bucket. Mix the cleaning solution (and your FORBIDDEN add ins that may violate your warranty). Wild animals, like so-called domestic felines, stink. Febreze makes a laundry product that works quite nicely. Rug Doctor and other products may have an Oxyclean additive - which is excellent for pet stains. Mix this in a bucket with the right temperature of water for your type of carpet. Generally, don't use hot water. It can damage the heck out of your carpets. Moderate to cool water is best.You flip the top of the machine open, take out the white bucket looking reservoir, and carefully pour your mix into the filter in the base reservoir. It'll hold somewhat more than 2-3 gallons total. The big surprise is the total lack of frippery and gadgeteria. You plug it in. There's a red button you hold down that simultaneously sprays the mix, agitates the carpet to clean and sucks the muck out of the rug into the white reservoir at the top. To use this effectively, you pull it - you don't push it.To switch to the hand tool, which I used for the stairs, you flip the one button from carpet to hand tool. Behind the machine you pull up the fat intake hose and connect it to the hand tool. Slide up the double ring quick connect valve, it takes a bit of pressure. Connect the quick connect valve from the hand tool by pressing the double rings up all the way, slide the valve into place until clicks into place and release the double ring. Nice tight workman ship with brass rings.Plug the machine back in and now the hand tool is operational. Honestly, it's just okay. It's not as great as I'd hoped. It's probably good for furniture but it's not good enough for stairs which is where I really need it to kick butt. I'd pay really good money for a hand appliance that agitates every bit as good as the machine does on the carpet but fits on the stair tread. This is why I knocked it by one star.For pure cleaning power, what I consistently found in the reservoir was disgusting - which didn't surprise me. The waste water was pitch black. We clean our carpets frequently and never saw anything quite like this. Still, the carpet was wetter after cleaning than I would have liked and would have liked the machine to pull more water out than it did despite the very slow cleaning process I used. The suggestion is carpets will take 4 hours to dry after cleaning, even going it several times without depressing the red spray button.From a weight perspective, once the reservoir is out and the machine is empty - this is a surprisingly light machine. The handle folds down so this can be easily stored. I expect we can store this in the garage without any problem.A great tip I picked up from an awesome youtube video is how to empty the machine completely after use. Take it to your driveway, set it to the "hand tools" setting while it's still connected to the main tank. Then plug it in and let it run until the tank is empty. I'll use this tip to run clean water through my machine to make sure it's completely clean after use as well.
