Overall, the carpet cleaner did a good job of removing stains —it took out the majority of the chocolate, salad dressing, coffee, and dirt. The wine was still slightly visible, but it could probably be removed with a spot treatment.
The only stains that remained steadfast were the mustard and permanent marker. However, keep in mind that these stains were really rubbed in and not spot-treated at all. To use this feature, we simply flipped a switch on the back of the machine, and when we pressed the normal trigger, an extra stream of fluid came out the back of the machine.
When it comes time to put away your Rug Doctor, there are some good and bad features. Plus, the handle folds forward for more convenient storage—though the machine is still quite large and will take up a lot of room in your closet. The problem s came when we tried to clean the Rug Doctor. The other issue is that the area around the brush head collects a lot of dirt and hair. This seems like a significant oversight. Check out our reviews of the best dish scrubbers to clean all sorts of surfaces.
However, as carpet cleaners go, this is still on the higher end of the price scale. Overall, this machine does a good job at its main purpose, but its lack of intuitive, easy-to-use features makes us balk a little at the price tag.
Plus, you can use the Big Green Machine in both forward and reverse. That said, this competitor, which we also tested, is very heavy at a whopping 40 pounds, making it a bit challenging to maneuver.
We reviewed the model, which looks more like a vacuum and is much lighter than the Rug Doctor at 19 pounds.
Plus, it has a better-designed pretreat spray feature and an easy-clean brush roll cover. While it may not have the same deep cleaning action as the Rug Doctor, the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro is better designed and a superior choice for pet owners.

The Rug Doctors design means your ability to properly extract water is limited. The machine has a single button that activates the water spray and the rotating brush underneath.
As you pull back the machine it sprays, scrubs and sucks in that order. They recommend then going over the same patch more times with the red button released to get more water out.
So now your machine has wet the carpet, dissolved some surface dirt and let it sink into the pile further. This wand is shaped to create a firm seal between the carpet and the head. This means maximum water extraction and the ability to reach deep into the carpet, often pulling air from below the carpet weave and through the carpet strands. The hose is very thick at 2 inches wide. At the other end of the hose is a commercial grade petrol powered vacuum machine.
The suction created by this machine is far greater than the Rug Doctor. This means the carpet is drier and more dissolved dirt and grime has been sucked away instead of left in the carpet.
As a professional carpet cleaner I have lost count of the number of times I have arrived at jobs and the customer has advised me they had tried using the Rug Doctor.
Many of these people are upset or worried because the Rug Doctor has either not removed the stains, or the stains are gone only to be replace by a big bleached mark or light patch on their carpet.
This outcome can sometimes be worse than the stain it was trying to remove. However, with years of experience and commercial grade specialized chemicals the chances are much lower. We all know that when we wash dishes, or clean the car, we need to rinse it thoroughly to get rid of the soap.
Your carpet is soft, but no different. When using a Rug Doctor, every bit warter left behind contains soapy leftovers that dirt will stick to.
