I  wonder how many of those  lagging the Rug Doctor have tried it. To enlarge a bit before  selling I had a Prochem fivestar  and  Supernova, using Sebo darts with duo powder for dry cleans.
As to the  question of hoses not feasible in  a lot of cases in Dublin - Georgian buildings 5-6 stories = 50-60 feet, plus from vehicle to building another 15 if  lucky  thats 65 leaving 35b to work with not a lot and  then each  time you go down a floor hoses down and back  unless you have someon  to catch hose on floor below. Plus the  eejits who think its fun to slash hoses etc.

You've also missed the  main point its the lowest cost start  up unless going for those hwe machines which are really only good for stairs and upholstery George, Hydromist and  similar  bot5h or whidh I also had and  used.
I found the Rug Doctor  best of all only gripe was that they didn't do a say 35-45 l tank which  would have been great for  larger  areas. But  then we went in with 4 macbines. New price for 4 less than a Super Nova

Or a better idea is to get a second hand machine from ebay or from the buy and sell section on here.

Reply to Radek over the last 4years I'v had 3 Rug Doctors in operation, have set  sold start ups to 9 people total 11 machines no one any problems also a number of hotel chains also use them eg Bewleys no problems. if carpets needed replacing then that does n ot lie on the machine but the user ie wet on carpets which  should be dry cleaned or excessive water going over too often.
Something most professionals will be quite aware of there is  no machine which has  been tested and around for a long time which will harm a carpet or floor. Only operators who misuse the machine or use the wrong system on the type of floor.
As  to buying second hand warranty personally don't like buying anything second hand, and i still don't understand this almost pathological hate of the RD  havn't seen any other brand being attacked.

"don't understand this almost pathological hate of the RD"

Steve - that says it all really - you dont understand... when you do understand you will understand!

Rug doctors aren't the real problem apart from the look, the supermarkets rent rug drs and any potential customer could rent one therefore questioning your price or professionalism, there is another problem which is a real problem their cleaning products are crap!

I think best thing is  for me to get of the forum as obviously im and  idiot with no idea what im talking about i think people shoudl start looking at some really professional forums with world wide  views. Short sweet visit.

You do not need to use Rug doctor Chemicals in a Rug doctor

Was Steve the Guy on Ebay selling a Suzziki Van and a very small Carpet Cleaner set up kit

I can clean a carpet with a rug doctor just as good as anybody on here using what ever you like even a t.m.

I learn to clean with a extracta mod c , single vac ,60pis pump that was it ! oh it did have two on and off switches ,  ,

why , because its me doing the cleaning not the power of the cleaner ! ok it may take me  ;Dfour times longer to do it and I will have to leave the snail in there to dry it but it will still look as good as if done buy me and my tm

 I would have to use today chems not the rug doctor ones , but a real old timer should beable to clean with any cleaner what ever its spec and still do the same job !!!

sometime I like to use an old porty just to keep my hand (my own stuff not for a custy),  keeping it real

i don't want to forget where I come so using my old model c that's now 25 years old is great bloodly hard work when ive a blue wave sat outside but then again I am strange , just think sometimes with all our tms we forget on where and how hard we worked to get where we are today

what a load of waffle, i think you get to talk waffle becuase your are a woman so people tend to offer you a certain amount of politeness,


you would clean as well as me with a rug doctor no matter what i used  ......no you would'nt

you use your old extracta to 'keep it real ' ........ohh please... pass me a sick bag
