I love my rug doctor
I have owned other steam cleaners. Nothing has ever come close to the power of a rug doctor. Even though we already have a cheaper steam cleaner I would still go and rent a Rug Doctor before Christmas and birthdays. I wish we never wasted money on cheaper models. After many years of renting I decided to spring and buy a Rug Doctor, thinking that with all the times I've rented I spent enough to have bought one already. Now that I bought my own I have no regrets. I love it. The other reviewer had a few complaints about size and getting into corners etc... but I think those problems would be solved by buying the smaller model the Mighty Pro Plus. It is smaller, lighter weight, and therefore moves easier and gets closer to the edges. Not to mention the the smaller, easier to use model is much cheaper. I got mine for $500 and it came with the upholstry attachment, 3 bottles of cleaning solutions, a five year warrenty, and free shipping. It was agreat deal. I have used both Wide Track and...
Very good cleaner but has draw backs
I own 2 Bissel cleaners, 1 pro heat and the other is even older. I wanted to try one of these thinking I might buy one because my other 2 are getting some age on them and I have had to repair the oldest one. This unit does a very good job as long as you are cleaning out in the middle of a room (away from walls & ect.). The brush on it agitates back and forth so it will get both sides of the nap. It however does not get very close to edges and when you start cleaning it doesn't start putting out solution very close to the front so you have to have attatchments to get close to walls, stairways, large furniture that you may not want to move each time you clean ect. Also it is big which makes it more awkward for spot cleaning. I don't know if it really cleaned THAT much better than my pro heat (I bought it when they first came out a few years ago - it's not the newest model), but you don't have to stop and add water/clean the pickup tank nearly as often. Another drawback to this machine...
Not the most stylish, but it's Great!

The Rug Doctor is not the most stylish carpet cleaner, but it definitely is a simple, strongly constructed work horse that gets the job done. You control the speed at which you pull it over your carpet, and I suggest you review the infomercial that shows the speed to pull it to get the best results.
If you have a small apartment then you won't need the WIDE model, but if you have an above average size house you'll be glad you got the WIDE model.
In addition to the instructions, I like to finish cleaning my carpet with a single clear hot water rinse to remove the cleaner residue. I do this since I think the small amount of cleaner residue tends to cause the carpet to re-soil itself faster. Also, on maintenance cleanings try and use a bit less than the suggested amount of cleaner added to the hot water. Use hot, not just warm water, and be sure to empty the collection tank the same day; otherwise, it will begin to smell really bad odors...
