the big green machine is better. it cleans up forward AND backward. dries up faster and does not hurt your back. i've tried them both on extremely soiled carpet.
@Pianocarneseur12 Hard to say with any accuracy, but carpets I've done generally are damp for no more than a few hours (4 or 5 hrs say) and dry the next day. I would say that doing multiple passes will increase drying times so better to do a cleaning every few days to gradually clean a really dirty area than try to get it at one time. Use half to one third recommended soap generally, and no soap (hot tap water only) occasionally to get a softer feel to rug fibers. Excess moisture isn't a problem
@Pianocarneseur12 Yes I did by from them. Be aware that they do not sell it with the Upholstery Kit or 12ft hose (I didn't need them anyway). They work as well as the 2 Mighty Pro machines I also have. I have redone a few carpets that local services have done with van-based units, and removed stains and dirt they didn't get so I'd recommend them over hiring a service. They can't remove all stains but that is the case with any machine. Buy and return if you don't like the results,
@joerwheelervideo Oh ok thanks well i'm sure I can most likely buy the upholstery kit which I definately need around two youngsters haha. That's awesome, I think maybe it's because van units never have any scrubbing it's all spray and suction.
Nice video. I got the Mighty Pro about 30 days before this model came out. This one does look more ergonomic to use, but I question it's build quality and material vs the Mighty Pro or Wide Track. Either way, it's got the same guts inside, and I like the revised styling of yours. Tough choice LOL.

Hi would you say that the rugdoctor picks up atleast half of the water it dispenses?

Did you buy this X3 at walmart? because they have these on shelf for $398 and i though that was kind of cheap for a RugDoctor.
