Well, I finally rented a Rug Doctor, and I thank all of you guys who suggested it. For two years now I have been looking for a good carpet cleaner with no success. My mom would not let me get a Rug Doctor. But I got her to do it!
My mom has always been disgusted by the Rug Doctors at Safeway after seeing the dirty filters installed in them. I'm sure the supermarket is the first place people think of going to rent one. So I understand. But today my grandfather and I went to a new Ace Hardware. So I go to look at the Rug Doctors and all of the filters and clean! We went home with a few screws, but an hour later I convinced my mom to rent the Rug Doctor. For the last 2 weeks I have been seriously considering buying a Hoover Steamvac. Our carpet is gross and our couch is worse. I was starting to count my cash. I had used every thing from Dyson Zorb to Woolite to my Proheat. Nothing could do it. But then comes the Rug Doctor! I have only done a couple passes but I am blown-away. The carpet has not looked this good senice we moved in eight years ago, and the carpet is only slightly damp! My Bissell could never do this! I still might get a Hoover to keep to clean, but to deep-clean I will use the Rud Doctor! | ||

Glad you like them as much as I do! I am loving my mighty pro, and using it everywhere in the house. Dont think I could permanently go back to anything else (for ownerships sake, yes, but not for serious cleaning) I<3Rug Doctor!

Be careful buying used rental machines. The Rug-Doctor website states that they . . .do not supply parts and will not support a previous rental machine. | ||

Don't you worry, it is possible! The last time our carpet was cleaned professionally was around 2005. At one point the carpet went though 4 pets and 5 people. Now there is 3 pets, but is slept on literally by the dogs almost all day. I cleaned the carpet with a Bissell about 4 times and it never looked good. The Rug Doctor solved this, although it might need a good truck-mount cleaning if we sell the house.
I have seen carpet WAY dirtier than mine, but yes, we do need a Rug Doctor to clean this thing. And I'm sure the Rug Doctor is too little for some carpets. | ||

Truck mounted carpet cleaner I'm thinking about getting one but which one is a good one? And yes, if I do get one, I'm also getting the EDIC Powermate or Rotovac Powerwand CLICK HERE TO GO TO floor-a-matic's LINK | ||

You should probably start a new thread on your topic, but I will respond to your comment.
One thing I have noticed about the Rotovac is that alot of videos featuring the product is used with a portable extractor, and the results are very impressive. I doubt your carpets will be as dirty as these videos. I will post a link to show you. A truck mounted extractor will be many thousands of dollars. The Rotovac is about $1,500. Are you willing to spend that money when you can get a $1000 Sanitaire portable extractor that includes a wand? Remember that the Rotovac is sold to help people with their carpet cleaning business. It gets the job done faster so they can move on to the next job. I don't think owning one for home is a necessity. Unless you are thinking about starting a business. I would love to hear what you buy and see before-and-after pictures of the carpet. I'm very interested in carpet cleaning. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bagintheback's LINK | ||

Greenville Sew&Vac has the RotoVac powerwand and matching extractor unit.This would be good for someone doing cleaning as a business-but don't overlook owners that have LARGE homes and lotsa carpet may want one.Looks fun to use in the video clip. | ||
