Works exactly like the big Rug Doctors
They took the highly successful rug doctor carpet cleaners you can rent and shrunk it into a home model. I have laminate floors, but need this to clean rugs due to a handicapped pet (and other happenings like muddy paws, bloody paws, etc. as well as the occasional human drink spills). It works just like the big model! At least the well maintained ones - in my experience Home Depot is the one place that maintains their rental equipment - grocery stores don't. It took me a couple hours to clean all the area rugs in our house, which was longer than it would with the large model, but the next day when I needed to use it again, was glad I now own it! Only advice I have if you're buying it for pets is to not use the cleaning solution they supply, but rather one of the enzyme products like nature's miracle. No more rentals for me!Michelle

Makes life with kids so much easier!
Ok, I really don't know where to begin.. The Portable Spot Cleaner from Rug Doctor has just made my life with three young kids (ages 5-2) a whole heck of a lot easier! Seriously. We have about 2/3 of the house in hard wood flooring and 1/3 in carpet. The bedrooms are carpet but those one are pretty ok, since I do not allow the kids to have food in there. The living room, however, is a whole different story. There were terrible stains in the living room carpet even before we moved in and, of course, my kids have added their own. To say it simply, my living area is an embarrassment to me when I have people over, which is quite often! I feel self-consience about how yucky the floor looks, so I have put a rug down over the majority of the stains in order to hide them.. Needless to say, I about flipped out when the Portable Spot Cleaner showed up on my doorstep!

Since receiving the Portable Spot Cleaner in the mail a couple weeks ago, I have cleaned almost the entire living room floor spots! I am not kidding.. They are just about ALL GONE! Hallelujah! The spots were all over the floor, not in just one spot, so the portable feature was amazing and perfect. The hand wand has a scrubbing part that moves back and forth to get between the carpet fibers and it really does work wonders! There was this particular spot that has been deep in the carpet for months (my baby knocked over my pop and it spilled into the carpet) and I have tried scrubbing by hand with carpet cleaner, with absolutely no success. The Portable Spot Cleaner sucked up the stain out of the carpet and spit it out into the 'Waste Water' container. Let me tell you that I was so thankful but really grossed out by how dark and disgusting that water was when I was done. Ewwww.

Clean, soapy water in and gross, stain-water out. It's almost like magic! This is truly a vital addition to every carpeted household!

I will be potty training my daughter this next month so I am guessing I am gong to be using the Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner on a daily basis... Wish me luck.

Powerful enough to keep up with my busy household

I used the Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner in our home to tackle the messes and spills from a family of 5, indoor pets and general country living. We are very tough on the carpets and my children spill or track something across them almost daily. Despite owning a full size, upright cleaner, I was still having a hard time keeping up with the wall-to-wall carpets and had to set aside time to do an entire room at once. This portable option is much more practical for my family and the small stains that require immediate attention. Yes, that would be things like Kool-Aid

Straight out of the box it was very easy for me to use for the first time.. Clean water and cleaning solution in one side and the dirty water will be sucked into the other. The main machine turned on with the flip of one switch and the hand held brush turns on with another. Solution is dispensed with an even spray right under where the brush is gripped, so it is easy to clean one-handed.

One of the biggest issues I have are the carpeted stairs in my house. The Rug Doctor fit easily on a step as I cleaned the next one. I liked that the machine easily fit on the step and did not tip as I used the brush and hose. It was also light enough that I could carry it up and down the stairs for tackling those hard to reach spots without hurting my back.

One of my favorite features is the powerful suction. Despite the portable spot cleaner's size, it has great suction for cleaning up sprayed solution and dirt. Even when I used a lot of solution on a tough spot in the living room, the motorized brush head picked it up and left the carpet only slightly damp.

I also used the Rug Doctor on the children’s micro fiber mini chairs in the living room. They have stains from both the children’s snacks, the baby’s sticky fingers and the cats. The chairs are now clean and stain free with minimal time spent going over them.

My carpets are already looking better. The next time the pets or children become sick or spill on the carpet I will be reaching for the Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner. Having this easier cleaning solution on hand has helped me enjoy the look and feel of our carpets more. Now I won’t have to call a professional cleaning service to get the job done.notimeMomOR

Perfect for spot cleaning! LOVE IT! I had several pet stains on my new carpet, and within a few minutes I had them all cleaned and the carpet was back to looking brand new! The cleaner was very easy to use, very easy to get up and down stairs, easy to clean - exactly what I had hoped it would be. It cleaned the spots like you would expect a rug doctor product to do!BRRB1

Rug Doctor Spot Cleaner
I bought this to clean up stains from two cats in my place. It cleaned it very well and now unfortunately where the cat had not coughed up a fur ball or threw up, it shows just how dirty the carpet really is as this little cleaner does it job cleaning up the spots you want to get rid of. I would recommend this unit to anyone who has PETS who have accidents. It is easy to use and does the JOB! This is the first time I have owned a carpet cleaner machine so I can't tell you the difference between this one and a Bissell, but after reading the reviews on this machine and seeing it on You Tube, and knowing that the big professonal units are excellent that people use to clean carpets after their lease terminates to clean up the carpeting, I would highly recommend getting this. You will not be disappointed! It is easy to use, and is compact and fits anywhere!BINKYTWINKY

Fantastic little machine
I reviewed numerous small/spot carpet cleaning machines from Bissell, Hoover, etc. After reading all of the details on each of them and how they function, I decided on the Rug Doctors Portable Spot Cleaner. This is one brilliant machine. It has a nozzle that actually has a vibrating function for extra cleaning.....the on button for the vibrating function in the nozzle is directly on the nozzle. Don't forget to push the on button on the nozzle to get the extra cleaning. (Note: there is an on button on the machine for the machine and another on button on the nozzle to turn that function on). I had set in stains and on the first pass I could see a big difference. After going over it 2 or 3 times it was really clean. Hooray! Next, you will not believe how much suction this little gem has to remove the water in its little compact body. When done, the carpet was only slightly damp and dried within the next hour to hour and a half. I cannot say enough positive things about this little wonder of a machine.EverythingNice

Rug Doctor Portable Cleaner easy to operate.
Very pleased with my purchase. Bought it because of pet stains on my carpets. Worked very well on my nylon carpet, but not as well on my Berber carpet. It was so easy to navigate with the handles and wheels. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of suction it has to draw up the water. Only a few removable parts, so clean up is easy too.LupesMom

Plenty of power
I bought the Rug Doctor instead of competing products because of the extra amount of suction power it had and the motorized brush feature on the head. So far I've used it to clean up some cat messes and it worked great; let the carpet clean and almost dry. It does have some leaking issues from the sprayer and the clean water tank when it's first lifted out, but they are very minor. The dirty tank leaked at first too but only because I didn't take it out before I used it the first time and the cap was loose from the factory testing. I would highly recommend this unit for small messes and portability. It won't efficiently clean a large area like an entire room, but it's not made to either.reaper450128

Would be ideal for a new carpet with new stains
This cleaner would be ideal for someone with new carpet and would need to use it as soon as the accident occurred. Doesn't seem to remove older set in stains longer than the drying process; and do not buy thinking you will do a large area with it. It is a spot cleaner, meaning it only has a hand brush not an attachment so you will be on your hands and knees cleaning the area. I do love the portability and weight of this cleaner and I am anxious to see how it does on sofa.davisat

A waste of money
Very disappointed in the rug doctor was not worth the money or my time. Poor action when scrubbing and did one chair 2 times before seeing any results would have cleaned it more but just wasn't happy with the way it worked. My chair wasn't that dirty to start with but really saw no difference.persondislike
