- This is the Wide Track Pro model which is the better model and shampooes much faster.
- The handle Adjusts for different heights so if you are tall or short this will be perfect for you
- Wide 12 inch cleaning path
- Powerful 28 lbs per square inch pump water pressure.
- Large 2.6 Gallon solution tank capacity. Compare this to most big box shampooers that only have around 1 gallon tank. This is nice as you wont be filling it up constantly as you shampoo.

I own 2 Bissel cleaners, 1 pro heat and the other is even older. I wanted to try one of these thinking I might buy one because my other 2 are getting some age on them and I have had to repair the oldest one. This unit does a very good job as long as you are cleaning out in the middle of a room (away from walls & ect.). The brush on it agitates back and forth so it will get both sides of the nap. It however does not get very close to edges and when you start cleaning it doesn't start putting out solution very close to the front so you have to have attatchments to get close to walls, stairways, large furniture that you may not want to move each time you clean ect. Also it is big which makes it more awkward for spot cleaning. I don't know if it really cleaned THAT much better than my pro heat (I bought it when they first came out a few years ago - it's not the newest model), but you don't have to stop and add water/clean the pickup tank nearly as often. Another drawback to this machine is that you have to mix the cleaning solution and the water. On the Bissels, you have seperate tanks and if you want to go all water to rinse a spot you just cleaned or go heavier on the cleaning solution for grimier areas, you can just turn a knob. Also in the commericals they would have you believe that the carpets will dry faster. I'm not sure if that is true.
Don't get me wrong, it is a very good cleaner, and it is built like a tank, I'm not sure it is worth almost $1000 ($800 more than the newer Bissel we have which also heats the water, or keeps it good and hot anyway).
We have 3 dogs and 1 clutsy teenage boy still at home, and they keep me busy cleaning carpets. If it really did THAT much better of a job than what I have, I would buy one. Or maybe if the price was a little more in line, at least $300 cheaper. I hope this helps.

The Rug Doctor is not the most stylish carpet cleaner, but it definitely is a simple, strongly constructed work horse that gets the job done. You control the speed at which you pull it over your carpet, and I suggest you review the infomercial that shows the speed to pull it to get the best results.
If you have a small apartment then you won't need the WIDE model, but if you have an above average size house you'll be glad you got the WIDE model.
In addition to the instructions, I like to finish cleaning my carpet with a single clear hot water rinse to remove the cleaner residue. I do this since I think the small amount of cleaner residue tends to cause the carpet to re-soil itself faster. Also, on maintenance cleanings try and use a bit less than the suggested amount of cleaner added to the hot water. Use hot, not just warm water, and be sure to empty the collection tank the same day; otherwise, it will begin to smell really bad odors.
Periodically, take the time to clean the brush since it can become clogged with animal hairs, etc. Better yet, use a Dyson vacuum first to clean up all the little fuss stuff, animal hairs, etc. - I use a Dyson DC18 Slim and it makes my Rug Doctor do a much better job.

I have owned other steam cleaners. Nothing has ever come close to the power of a rug doctor. Even though we already have a cheaper steam cleaner I would still go and rent a Rug Doctor before Christmas and birthdays. I wish we never wasted money on cheaper models. After many years of renting I decided to spring and buy a Rug Doctor, thinking that with all the times I've rented I spent enough to have bought one already. Now that I bought my own I have no regrets. I love it. The other reviewer had a few complaints about size and getting into corners etc... but I think those problems would be solved by buying the smaller model the Mighty Pro Plus. It is smaller, lighter weight, and therefore moves easier and gets closer to the edges. Not to mention the the smaller, easier to use model is much cheaper. I got mine for $500 and it came with the upholstry attachment, 3 bottles of cleaning solutions, a five year warrenty, and free shipping. It was agreat deal. I have used both Wide Track and Mighty Pro many times and prefer the smaller one. That is what I own. I think the Wide Track is best for big buildings, while the Mighty Pro Plus is better for homes and getting around furniture.I think they should have done more research about the product before leaving a negative review. You don't buy the Wide Track and complain that it isn't good for spot cleaning. That's silly. I totally recommend any rug doctor if you want your carpet to stay looking nice for a lifetime. I have a 2 year old and a 3 1/2 year old spilling drinks, painting the floor, and all the thing kids can do. Plus a large hairy dog and 3 cats. You would never be able to tell by looking at my carpet. It looks brand new. The cost of this unit doesn't even compair to the cost of getting new carpet for a wholw house. Usually after I spend a lot of money on something I regret it, but this was a great purchase. Trust me you will love yours too.
