About this product
The Rug Doctor Spot Portable Cylinder Carpet Cleaner is built to deal with those nightmare carpet stains that seem impossible to shift. It's a portable spot cleaner with a powerful motorised hand tool that gets deep into carpet fibres, upholstery, car interiors, and fabrics. At 1100 air watts, it's got twice the suction of most other portable cleaners, so it pulls out dirt and moisture properly rather than leaving things damp.
The handheld brush scrubs into the pile while suction lifts mess away, working well on stairs and upholstery. It has 1.9l tanks for clean and dirty water, enough for spills or a room's stains before refilling. The 4.6m power cord and 1.7m hose offer good reach without dragging the unit, plus a retractable handle and wheels for easy movement. Edge-to-edge cleaning ensures no strips are missed along skirting boards. A safety cut-out stops it when the dirty tank is full. IPX4 rated for outdoor use on car seats or patio cushions. Includes upholstery tool and carry handle.

The Rug Doctor spot cleaner is powerful, easy to use, and effective on carpets, upholstery, and cars. It's compact but noisy and sometimes heavy. Some users reported leaking and spray issues.

Great little machine!
I bought this a week ago to clean upholstery and carpets following my dog being ill. It is a great machine. It's small and manageable. We picked the one with the motorised head and this was really good at lifting the pile of the carpet and getting all of the nasty bits out. We used it on two velvet armchairs and it really has brought out the pile and there was a lot of dirt that was sucked out, which though really gross, meant that the machine worked well. We've also used it in the car and it performed well, the seats now look as though they were professionally cleaned. Very happy with this purchase, it is sturdy and well made, easy to use and the solution seems to work really well, we think we will get a lot of use of this machine for years to come.

So carpet goes to the Rug Doctor...
We bought this to tackle some cat urine—it did the job brilliantly. Since then, I’ve used it to clean old spill stains on furniture and a liquid spill in the kitchen. It’s a loud beast, so not ideal for nighttime use, but it gets the job done. Being handheld means you’ll need to get down on your hands and knees to use it, which might be a consideration for anyone with back issues. Thankfully, it doesn’t leave the carpet overly damp afterward. The RugDoctor can easily clean just over a meter squared on a single tank. I had a couple of minor quibbles with the design of the water hoppers. The clean water hopper needs to be turned upside down to fill, which is awkward—especially since the curved bottom prevents you from resting it on a flat surface while filling. If your tap nozzle is close to the sink edge, you’ll also need to turn the measurement markings away from you while filling, which isn’t ideal. As for the dirty water hopper, there’s no design flaw, but I’d advise keeping it upright at all times. The opening is at the rear on the top, and if it’s full and tipped at an angle, dirty water can spill out easily. Otherwise its a great choice to get small areas of carpet and upholstery clean.

Forget Vax, this is so much better!
I've had a few vacs machines in the past, the most recent one packed up so decided to go with rug doctor. Should of gone for one a lot sooner! Works a lot better and it's more powerful than any of the vacs machines I've had in the past and the motorised brush makes it work into any dirt even better. Only used it around the house so far but it's worked perfectly, waiting til I need to use it in the car again knowing it will bring the interior up better than the old machines

Hello Locks.
Rug Doctor Spot Portable Cylinder Carpet Cleaner:
The Rug Doctor Spot Portable is generally safe for most fabric sofas; however, suitability can vary depending on your sofa’s specific material and care instructions. We always recommend checking your sofa’s cleaning label first or confirming with the sofa manufacturer before using any machine or cleaning solution.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello GoGo,
The supplier has advised the following for the Rug Doctor Spot Portable Cylinder Carpet Cleaner:
“ Unfortunately the nozzle does not come apart, if the customer decides to unscrew the machine this will void any warranty it may have to we advise against it.
We can recommend the purchase of some small wire end brushes to get into the small gap and release any debris that may have got stuck. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.

Hello There.
Rug Doctor Spot Portable Cylinder Carpet Cleaner:
As this is a spot cleaner the clean water tank is smaller than the larger carpet cleaners. It does recommend that you add hot tap water, filling to the “Clean” line marked on the tank. Next to pour cleaning solution into the tank, filling to the “Soap” line marked on the tank to ensure you have the correct water to solution mix.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Robin. The Rug Doctor Spot Portable Cylinder Carpet Cleaner is not a steam cleaner but uses clean water with soap to wash stains on carpets and this is then transferred to a different tank that collects the dirty water. For full explanation of use and instructions, please see the PDF file attached to the bottom of the catalogue number or follow the below link.

Hi Dippyd,
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any specific information on how dry the treated area is after using this Rug Doctor Spot Portable Cylinder Carpet Cleaner. According to the manufacturer’s website, this machine has a powerful 1100-watt suction motor that leaves your carpets deep-cleaned and quickly drying. However, it is mentioned that the machine is ideal for households with children or pets, or for situations where accidents occur frequently and quick cleans are required.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello there
