I have never had experience with anything other than a rug doctor (the commercial ones) and a steam vac. I think the steam vac is a good one. You can find them for cheap, and do a good job. |

I have had a Hoover steam cleaner for 10 years and it has done a good job. I'm sure that the newer Hoovers will do even a better job. Ck them out ! Norm |

Hi guys. I had a steam vac 5 brush, I used it ALOT,I got it in 1997 and used it for side-job cleaning for friends, friends of friends etc... then I got the Dual V. What a mistake, Now i have a Rug - Doctor that I got 2 years ago to do side jobs again. I work at a hospital so getting side jobs is fairly easy so its had a ton of use also. I have not done much to eather machine except for replacing the scrub brushes. BTW the steam-vac I gave to a friend and it is still going strong. So I would recommend both If you are going to use it alot. As for the Bissell like Sandy said they are great machines but you must use more caution with the plasic components.

I have a Hoover Steam Vac that I like, but I've heard that Royal actually produces the best on the market. I don't remember where I read or heard that, though. Bill |

I have the same machine, just curious what the learning curve is. It seems pretty straight forward in operation, does a fantastic job for me. |

Some people don't like the scrubber (vs extractor), but I've had the best results with the Electrolux FloorPro. You can get one on ebay for around $100, and they clean up perfectly if they've been used at all. I think a lot of people don't use them more than once before they're sold. The last shampooing I did was with a Kirby, and it works well, too. If you really want an extractor, of course these won't be appropriate.
