I once read that the Iranian method of cleaning a good rug was to drag it across a field of freshly-fallen snow. This is not an option in my neck of the woods -- try that, and you're likely to end up with a rug full of hamburger wrappers and dog pee.
In the past, I've (very) occasionally rented and lugged home a Big Green Machine; but after some research, and encountering this Hoover, I did a quick calculation and realized that if I performed the equivalent of five rentals with this, it'd pay for itself. It has now done that, and I am impressed by the results.
It is important to use it well to be really effective, so I'm going to share the method I've developed. The first thing to note is, it's very important to empty the lower, dirty water tank regularly. The machine's suction depends on this. So, here's what I do now:
1. Vacuum the rug thoroughly, twice if necessary.
2. With a full tank of hot water and cleaning solution (I do like the Hoover Claws and Paws best, chiefly because its aroma isn't obnoxious), with the dial on the front of the input tank turned to Wash and the trigger pulled, run the machine over the rug. I tend to do it in halves -- 'top' half then 'bottom,' relative to where I'm standing, in order to assure myself of sufficient coverage.
3. Remove both tanks (very easy once you've done it once or twice) and replenish the fresh water, and dump and rinse the dirty water tank (if your rugs are anything like mine, the water will be gratifyingly filthy -- filth that is now leaving your house). Replace them on the machine.
4. Turn the dial to Rinse and, with the trigger pulled, do exactly what you did in step 2. This forces water, but no cleaning solution, through the rug -- which will now be pretty damp.
5. Remove, dump, rinse and replace the dirty water tank.
6. This is a step I only realized I could do after a few rugs: With the clean water tank still set to Rinse (just in case you touch the trigger), run the machine over the whole rug *again*, but this time do not pull the trigger. The brushes will not turn, but the machine will be sucking excess water out of the rug, which abbreviates the drying period.
7. When you're done, remove, dump (the water will *still* be astonishingly dirty) and rinse the dirty water tank.
8. Contemplate whether you want to do the whole thing over again, given how grubby the output water still is. Abandon this thought, shelving the idea for later.
9. Put the machine away.
10. I recommend a beer or a glass of wine, but you're welcome to have tea instead, as you look at the renewed colours in your rug...
11. Once the rug is dry, I'd recommend running the vacuum cleaner over it one more time, to get the pile in order. The attached photo shows a Gabbeh in my bedroom, which I just cleaned. Two greyhounds walk and sleep on it, in addition to humans and cats, so it was long overdue. You can see the disorder of the pile; it settles down as it dries, but the vacuuming step does help.

I did my research and compared product reviews/specifications in a similar price range and I'm very happy that I chose to purchase this cleaner!
There are so many pros to this cleaner, so I'll just list a few, then I'll address some of the problems in the negative reviews.
First off all, the engineering of this is very well thought out! I previously had a $150 carpet cleaner, which I actually had to strap lifting weights to, in order to get it to press hard enough down on my carpet, to suck up the water (no joke). This machine however, is designed so that the dirty water collection tank always sits on top of the vacuum suction head... think about that. What that means is, as you recover more dirty water, the head presses down harder on the carpet (due to the increasing water weight), recovering almost all of the water that you've sprayed out.... but wait, there's more! The heat exhaust of this machine, is vented down at the carpet, this helps to evaporate what little water remains, ingenious! This, combined with the separate water and detergent tanks, removable spinning brush heads and filters, plus the detachable stair/upholstery nozzles and many handles, really make this a no brainer purchase.
Now, to address some of the nay sayers:
To the person/people who complained about the brush heads hardly/not spinning when the machine was tilted on its back: I noticed the same thing, and it had me worried that it was broken, however I soon realized that this is most likely an intended safety feature. When tilted, the plastic cog wheel disconnects, to stop the brush heads spinning, but if you tilt it back upright, it puts pressure on the heads, engaging the shaft to cause them to spin (I verified this by reaching my hand slightly underneath, although I strongly discourage anyone from doing this)
As for the handle breaking: that person/people must have been very forceful, as I wasn't exactly "friendly" using mine, and encountered no problems at all, everything was rigid.
For the people complaining about water leakage: this happened to me as well, but it was my own fault. It happened by placing the clean water tank on incorrectly, easily fixed. The manual also warns about not tilting the machine on its back with water in the tanks.
For the people complaining about the tank sizes: this tank is actually very large! It holds twice the water of my old, similarly priced machine.
You have to consider that:
Any greater tank size would mean, thicker plastics to handle the stresses, increasing cost.
More pressure on the brush heads meeting the carpet, which means the shaft/cog wheel might need to be made of metal to handle that stress, increasing cost.
Finally, water is heavy and if the tanks were larger, less able people would find it very heavy to lift or handle.
The bottom line is most of the negative reviews were due (like many things) to human error or not following instructions correctly.
In conclusion, I honestly don't believe that you can beat the value this machine provides. I highly recommend this product! I would have happily paid well above what I did for this machine based upon its design and performance.

Easy to assemble, easy to use, easy to clean and refill! Not too heavy and has excellent suction!!
Note: You will need to buy more cleaning solution as the bottle that came with it didn't go far! Canadian Tire or Home Depot have large jugs of carpet cleaners for reasonable prices. Delivery was also one day earlier which was great!!
If you're thinking of purchasing a carpet cleaner this is the one!! Go for it! You won't be sorry!

Esta máquina es buenísima, no es tan grande como imagine por qué lo que leí en algunos comentarios, la elegí por tener la opción modo manual que el modelo más pequeño no tiene y lo use para limpiar las torres de gatos que pensé en tirar a la basura y recuperaron su color 😺
No logra limpiar las orillas pegadas a la pared o algún mueble, pero puedes usar para eso la manguera y hacerlo en modo manual y queda todo parejo.
Cuando apaguen la máquina inmediatamente pónganla inclinada hacia atrás, o el agua sucia que estaba llendo al depósito (y no llego) se regresa, se sale y mancha la alfombra. También pueden inclinarla dejando encendida durante un minuto para que el agua llegue al depósito completamente y no haya derrames.
El mantenimiento al terminar su uso fue fácil: sacar tanques, quitar boquilla de succión y cepillos, enjuagar todo y dejar secando en algún lugar.
Juzguen ustedes mismos los resultados, les dejo las fotos y video 😉
Yo estoy encantada con los resultados 😍
