Just skip the Hoover and rent a Rug Doctor machine every 6 months or so. If you only clean your carpet once every 6 months, why keep a bulky machine around when a rental is much cheaper and you don't have to store it? Plus, those consumer grade machines overwet the carpet and don't suck the water back up, which can easily cause mold if you're not careful.

I’m always a bit leery about renting these rug washer machines. I’m a bit OCD and don’t trust the rental companies to fully sterilize the machines between renters. Who knows what germs and bacteria these machines bring into your house?
Much prefer to own my own washer and know it’s been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed between uses. |

FYI-
You can get some decent deals on the Bissell 86T3 Big Green if you keep an eye out for specials. I saw it for $319 a few months back both on Amazon and through Best Buy. That is $100 more than one of the more disposable Hoover carpet cleaners, but longer term, it's a much better investment IMHO. |

I know it's not what you originally asked, but I have a Bissell ProHeat Pet that I have owned for 4 years and I love it. It does a great job, and when you follow the directions and read the manual on the technique to use (I additionally add in 2 dry passes to suck excess water out) you never have soaked carpet. Now I still have an older Bissell from the late 90's, and that thing really does soak the carpet and guzzle down water. It must have fireman's nozzles for sprayers!
But anyway, I made a video last fall when I used my ProHeat Pet to clean a rug I got from the curb. |
