X3 Oxy Pack

Out of the box this Rug Doctor worked just fine, and having the advantage of having it here whenever we need it is worth the cost. Rentals have always come with their own issues, not the least of which is getting the machine back on time, or paying for another day. No more worries about bringing in other people’s dirt or germs. No more hassles at the rental desk. The machine itself works great. I wish it was a little wider so it would take fewer passes, but that’s not a deal breaker. I’m kind of upset that such an expensive purchase only comes with a one year guarantee though,. I will certainly be hoping it outlives that many times over. I’m that pleased I would buy it again.

First off, I have had numerous commercial companies clean my carpets with a variety of results - the only thing consistent is a high price. I have also rented Rug Doctor machines (with good results, but always disgusted by the machines) and have owned a couple Bissell ProHeat machines. This Rug Doctor Mighty Pro 3X was definitely a worthwhile purchase.PROS:The machine has a fairly small footprint in the closet which is nice.Its capacity also allows for a much larger cleaning area than the Bissell I owed.I did NOT have an issue carrying a full machine up and down the stairs as others have said. It is light enough and handles are well placed.It cleans well.The Amazon price was roughly the same as Walmart, but I was able to get the handheld attachment included (A definite must).No excessive water left on the carpet. Thick, high quality carpet dried easily.CONS:My biggest complaint is that it is a little awkward getting the recovery tank off the machine because the top hinges up, but only slightly. It feels like it should catch somewhere or tip up more, but it doesn't.For a machine that does not get all of the way to the edges, I think the handheld attachment should be standard (again on Amazon it is, in stores - no).Overall, I have used this in a few rooms and am quite pleased. Even though our home is new (less than 3 years old), and we keep it very clean, this was still able to get a substantial amount of dirty water in the recovery tank. With just the basic chemical that comes with it, this machine was also able to clean up a stain from my kids' dry-erase marker that got dropped on the floor (the Bissell didn't touch it!).After finishing the rest of the house (about 3200 sq ft of carpet), I will update again.

This cleans my carpet great! Great suction, Leaves carpet slightly damp, dries quickly. It is a quality machine. Easy to use!

I ordered (2) these for my business. They are very effective at cleaning and maintaining carpets especially in small areas because the machine is smaller than most industrial carpet extractors and therefore can fit into corners better. Very good to have if you work in hotels as a HSKP mgr, or if you have an airBNB-- this will make short work of deep cleaning carpets in small carpeted rooms. I also like that it cleans carpets very close to baseboards without having to use the hand held piece.I would advise buying the separate handheld piece and hose because that allows the machine to do very detailed work and can complete projects other than carpet like upholstery/furniture deep cleaning, deep clean the interior of your car, carpets and rugs, mattresses.Use a low foam cleaning chemical or use a separate foam reducing chemical as an additive, too much foam can get into all the internal parts and create scum that will lower the lifespan of the machine.The final thing I will say about this machine is that it is incredibly user friendy. Everyone on my team has used this without issue as there is ease in maneuvering. There is a button to apply chemical and water as you are extracting and an emergency on/off button. The hoses/parts are easily changeable. Filling the chemical receptacles and emptying the dirty water bucket can be done in a few seconds.If you are cleaning an extremely soiled area, I would pretreat with a despotter or high traffic area stain remover first and let sit for a few minutes, run the machine over it while releasing chemicals, evaluate and run again if still soiled. I have also found that starting with fairly hot water helps to remove dirt better than just using cold water. Awesome ROI at the price point.
