Details and Performance
Rug Doctor portable does a very good job in cleaning spots with extraordinary suction. Just a little bit of detergent and a nice amount of pressure is enough to remove even the toughest stains without any hassle. Also, the unit has a wide cleaning path; which means you’ll clean bigger spaces in less time when compared to other models.
The spot cleaner is very easily moved since its lightweight and the retractable handle and the carpet-friendly wheels offer maximum maneuverability. So much that you wouldn’t have a problem even if you had health problems like back pains or problematic joints. The cleaner is also quite small and very easy to store.
The transparent window on the attachment provides an easy way to see if you have rinsed your carpets enough so if there is too much dirt in the water being sucked from the carpet, you’ll know that it needs more rinsing. This neat little feature not only eliminates the guesswork when it comes to rinsing, but also makes sure that you clean your carpets perfectly each and every time.
Now, let us move to the problems.
One of the bad things about Rug Doctor portable is the noise level. The machine produces quite a high volume of noise, especially when you consider the size. Although part of the noise is due to the overall wattage and suction power of the motor, you may still find the noise level a bit distracting if not disturbing. However, the cleaning and suction power provided in return may as well make up for the discomfort. One little tip: you can use one of the earplugs generally used for leaf blowers and such if you are too uncomfortable with the noise.
Another problem, albeit small, is the fact that most users do not notice that there is an always-open hole on the top of the dirty water tank which will cause water to spill if you don’t take notice and be careful.
Some users reported that the machine loses suction after a certain amount of time. We have found out that this is due to the dirty water being full up to 2/3rds and if you empty the tank once it reaches that point you won’t lose any suction power at all.
Verdict
- Powerful suction – up to twice as much as other spot cleaners
- Maximum maneuverability with retractable handle and wheels
- Oscillating motorized handle brush that makes scrubbing a breeze
- Easy to use, clean, maintain and store
- Noise level too high
- Dirty water tank spills water if you’re not careful
- Loses suction when the dirty water tank is about 70% full
