How does this compare to the Rug Doctor?

Rug Doctor is not even near the same level as the Bissell Big Green Machine. We use to rent a Rug Doctor, with frustration due to wet carpet for hours and hours and hours. Over a day. The Bissell cleans forward and back. Cleans 50 times better and the carpets are dry within 2hrs. In fact they are not soaked like rug doctor leaves the carpet, using less water. Our carpets look like new again from Bissell Big Green. So rug doctor is no comparison. Don't waste your money on one. Buy the Bissell Big Green. You will not be disappointed.

I use the capture premist on stains and very little or none on low traffic areas. This is an amazing product and makes the rugs look clean so if you do not obtain the desired result you need to buy the premist also.

These work great for small areas. Does a bang up job. However, for carpets, I would rent a rug doctor.

Yes. I only have scatter rugs and rugs in my utility room. They are washable rugs so you know the nap is low. BUT much to my surprise and delight my Electrolux goes right over them and does a very good job. Another nice feature is the easyway to clean the cup and filter. Love this Electrolux and have high hopes it will not be like others I have that have broken down after a short while. Good luck

Hi Karla. I'm Diane (Edward's wife) and I'm the one who purchased and uses the machine. I have a fair amount of carpet, with a number of different piles, in my home. I have owned three different carpet cleaning machines over the years. I love this machine. I much prefer the roller brushes (as opposed to the spinning scrubbers on my prior Hoover machine). I checked Bissell's website to compare the two models and refresh my memory. I bought the 47A2 based on the following: 47A2 has a bigger tank (1.25 gallons compared to 1 gallon); 47A2 has dual power brushes with 10 cleaning rows ( compared to 8852's one power brush with 6 cleaning rows). I think 47A2 is a bit lighter. I thought my prior Hoover was decent, but when I took the 47A2 for a test drive on my "two dog" carpet, I was impressed. It cleaned beautifully and it really "sucks". My carpet dried very quickly. Hopes this helps.

Don't know. I have the Monster and am very happy with the results on both my floors and rugs.

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

Not really, prefer shark steamer, has more steam which to me makes me feel like it is cleaning better. The Haan leaves streaks on my hardwood floors.

Agree with Jackie.. It's more plush than carpet, which is a very good thing in my (and my cat's!) opinion. The fabric doesn't go all the way on the underside, but it's really not noticable. I highly recommend the Denver model.

Not sure. I believe Polident for Partials is much, much better. Cleans like new but not sure about old, hard stains.

The pet model cleans down the deepest. My carpets looked new with the pet model. I tried the other model's and they made my carpet look good, but after a few days the stains came back

I was not impressed the nature's miracle products. However rug doctor urine eliminator takes out just about any stain.

when I shampoo my carpet I use the simple green with better results than with the recommended rug doctor shampoo as far as mold I don't know when im killing mold I use a bleach/water solution

Its more of a spot cleaner., not a all over room cleaner. So the smaller the space the better if you want to do a whole room. The carpet does not exactly get "wet" more as damp. If done correctly the floor dries rather quickly. If your a little heavy on the water the floor can take quite a while to dry, but it also depends on the type of fabric.

The DC50 is just more compact and in my opinion even more powerful with the double cyclone head... it may have a few less tools included, but you can always buy those afterwords... for my 1.5K sq. ft. apt. (about 3/4 tile. and the rest medium carpet). The DC 50 is awesome!!!
