GBWorked very well The vacuum cleaned very well and when I cleaned out the dirty water tank there was a bunch of trash that I didn’t realize was on the floor! I really wish there was a different way of cleaning the tank out because tilting it to empty it out was hard because some of the water didn’t want to come out. Overall great experience!

GBCleaned surprisingly well I've used a commercial cleaner company in the past for cleaning our 5th wheel rv that we live in fulltime. But this time the cleaner raised their minimum for cleaning rvs to $200, & I only wanted to have 100 sq ft done. So, I rented a Rug Doctor at Walmart. The check out process is pretty straight forward, but the machine is heavy & bulky. I also rented the motorized upholstery tool & bought cleaner solution, & pre-treat solution.. I pre-treated the areas in front of our chairs where our feet leave stains & used the upholstery tool to clean the bad spots. This tool might be pretty useless for most people, as the solution jet nozzle plugs up easily. I removed the nozzle & blew it & the line out with an air compressor, which many people wouldn't have. It clogged several times & I could even see black pieces in the solution feed line. But overall, I was able to remove the dark stains & clean the larger areas in a couple of hours. It actually did a better job than I thought it would. It cleaned just as well as the commercial cleaners I've had do it in the past, & dried just as quickly. The machine & cleaner solutions were $75 vs the $200 for a commercial cleaner. So it was worth it & I will use it again in the future.

GBDilapidated machines, ghastly customer service This company rents out dilapidated pieces of trash. Their customer service is just as poor. The first machine had very poor suction and left the carpet very wet, even though the instructions were followed. Dampness should be expected but the carpet was wet and took days to dry with fans running. The carpet did not seem clean either. I decided to try vacuuming the carpet throughly again and then I rented another machine thinking it was due to malfunction. I got the second machine home and the brush would not turn on, and the light illuminated saying it was jammed. There was nothing stuck and it was easy to turn by hand. I contacted customer service and they stated based on the information the machine was broken and I would have to return to the store to exchange it. When I got to the store I called the kiosk number as instructed. They said I could return the machine for a full refund or exchange it for a new machine. Because this had taken over two hours of my time and an extra trip across town, I asked for a partial refund and to exchange the machine. Rug Doctor declined and refused to give back any money if I exchanged the machine. I simply returned the machine and they refunded me the rental cost, but not my wasted evening. It is understandable that machines malfunction, but I cannot do business with a company that is not interested in making it right. I will rent a Bissell instead. Rug Doctor uses contactless kiosks and their dilapidated machines are not checked or maintained between uses. This is in contrast with Bissell, where you talk to an actual person when renting the cleaner.

GBAmazing cleaning but leaves soap residue behind, so beware! I rented one to clean some extremely filthy carpets in the flat that I’m selling. I also did the chairs and sofa. The machine did an incredible job of getting the dirt out, was absolutely amazed, but it doesn’t rinse the soap out as it cleans. I’d recommend booking an extra day so you can run it with just hot water in, I didn’t have time. As a result my carpets and the sofa are clean, but a bit patchy looking and when I went into the flat next day (I’d been running 2 dehumidifiers all night) the carpets were dry, but there was a lingering dirty soapy water smell. My machine also leaked and this got worse through the day, until it was pooling water. Because so many of these units leak, don’t put it on your car seat, sit it on plastic, in the boot, if you can. It’s also up to the customer to clean it before handing it back, so check underneath before you start, incase the previous rentee hasn’t bothered. I would rent one again, because it did a great job of getting the dirt out, but I’d run it twice, second time with water to rinse the soap out.

GBDO NOT RENT!!! When I rented the first machine. The hose was ducted taped. The cable was frayed. When I went to unplug the cord the ground was stuck in the extension cord. It seemed like whoever used it prior just stuck the ground back into the plug and returned it. I took it back to the store and they gave me another one. That one didn't seem as damaged as the first. Well I was wrong. There was a missing part off the dirty water container. The cord was also frayed. I ended up getting shocked. Needless to say I will never rent from them again. They need to send out someone to check the equipment so this doesn't happen.The stores also need to take responsibility as well. This could kill someone!
