Hi ekps

Please do not give me a lesson on carpet cleaning just your opinion

First off , not the best way to endear yourself to proffesional carpet cleaners !.

second lets look at the problem you have .

1  you can get work
2 the rug doctor does a good job ,you think
3 the rug doctor is hard work
4 you have little money to re invest

solution keep working with the rug doctor until you can afford a portable with at least 100psi and twin vacs.
 once you have this purchase a machine that will mechanical agitate  buffer sebo or invirodri.

step 2 work hard again then purchase a machine that will produce 500 to 1000 psi and can be worked from a van and can auto fill auto dump and produce high heat at the right end .

step 3 work herd again Moo then purchase a truckmout( a big thing in your van that makes a lot of noise and costs a lot )

Job DONE

You won't get what you are looking for here. The rug doctor is not a proffessionals choice of machine. 
Paying customers will be more than a little bit bemused if you turn up with one. The reason they get a pro in is because they want something better than they can do themselves. .It is at best a top of the range domestic unit. Please feel free to come back when you want to discuss proffessional carpet cleaning issues.

mop and bucket, does a better job, is a lot cheaper and gets the carpets dryer faster, you could market to your existing customers as new and improved with rapid drying, just 3 days instead of 4.
or buy 2 mops for dual mopping. go on, treat yaself.

Hi Guys

A diificult question for a professinal carpet cleaning forum as we are talking about domestic cleaning machines.

On the basis of having something which is better than a domestic machine, I would advise a good second hand machine of possibly the Rhino, also on ebay , which is cheap and cheerful.

Cheers

Unlikethe rest of you i amnot anti Rug Doctor.

It does a good job.

It has replaced a lot of carpet cleaners in Nursing Homes etc

I have just lost out on aqoute to a Rug Doctor.

But I have checked previous posts of our new contributor.

For a start we would prefer a real name  photo and location.

I have this to say if you can generate£1500 a month you can afford to lease new equipment.
