If you use the search facility you will get the general idea of what most people here think of the rug doctor. I'm not sure how long you have been in business but a good place to start is a training course, this will help you determine the best machine for your business.

A bit of an oxymoron there I think! Rug Doctor and Professional???
-
I use a Prochem but just wanting something a bit smaller to use. Just looking about at moment seen these and thought I would ask take it these rug doctors are pants lol
-
NO I dont think the Rug Dr is /are pants. For a diy clean they do a reasonable job for the price of the hire charge. Now if the customer wants a deep restorative clean and a pro to do it for them, I would suggest that turning up with a RD might not be the best way forward. If they want the work to be assured and insured, if they know you will go back if required, and if you want to make a decent living out of this biz, then you need to invest in some decent kit at some time. Just my thoughts... Simon

If you are looking at changing your ''cleaner'' what are you using at the moment?
Rug D offer a 30 day money back guarantee, make sure you return it within that time frame!!!!
Funny I was on a training course and a guy was there who bought a rug doctor, he bought it without asking for advice, at the course he realized that carpet cleaning and Rug D have nothing in common.
If budget is a problem look at the smaller single vac machines or a second hand one. Even a second hand prochem will be better than Slug doctor :).

I use Prochem Steempro just something a bit smaller. price is always something I look at but understand cheap cheap is not good.

Try a sensei from ashbys.I have one fitted with a 3 stage vac and a 150 psi pump and it does loads of work to a good standard just needs emptying a little more which is no problem..............Alan

I use an Airflex Pro Mini from Cleansmart. An absolute gem of a machine - small enough to carry upstairs, but copes just as well commercial jobs.

Hi Neil,
I'm considering the airflex mini, have you got one of the additional heater options or do you think this is something that's not necessary? Any advice for an undecided newbie would be appreciated. Jon

Before you buy suggest you go on a training course...this will give you the information to make the right purchase
-
Cheers, have done the NCCA course and have since been getting overwhelmed by the array of machines and specs. Think I'm going to go for the Sensei from Ashbys with heated tank. Cheers again. Jon

Jon
You don't need a heater . A good crb is a must .
If you do need heat get a inline one

Neil txt me mate lost my contacts

Ok

airflex mini or alltec express, both good machines but which company is closer to you is also a factor
