Rug or Carpet Shampooers are a must have accessory around the house these days, especially because they are so compact that you no longer need to rent out those massive heavy duty rug shampooers, where you pay through the nose for rental and delivery and you still have no assurances as to who has used it before you.
The problem with renting those heavy duty machines was that it was not financially viable for you to rent it until your rugs were in desperate need of a good wash, when you have your own rug shampooer you can keep on top of the mess and always have your carpets and rugs looking perfect.
As with all home-consumer products there are literally hundreds of choices to choose from, if you would like to take a look for yourself at the range available to you click here for the entire rug shampooer product range
As you can see from the range available at the link above there are varying price ranges for all your rug shampooing needs. That is why I am going to be recommending 4 different rug shampooers that I feel are the best for their respective price ranges.
The price ranges I am going to be using are <$150
$300-$500

The Royal Procision 7910 Carpet Extractor
As you would expect from a product in a higher price bracket this product comes with a number of special features that do not usually appear in lower priced rug shampooers. The best feature is that it has 2 suction nozzles so the dirty water never has a chance to soak into your carpet thus giving you a drier and cleaner carpet.
The two revolving brushes rotate in opposite directions to give a much better overall cleaning. Also the soap is seperate from the clean water meaning you are able to get a more thorough cleaning.
The Royal Procision 7910 Carpet Extractor has a list price of $499.95 but if you buy through Amazon you can get a discount of upto 35%.
$150-$300

Hoover F5914-900 Clean Surge
This Rug Shampooer is actually one of the most highly recommended rug shampooers we have on this site (read our full review here). For the price it cannot be topped, take a look at this one customer review:
The F5914 really cleans carpets well. On my worst carpet area, the cleaner did as well as a commercial carpet cleaner. I recommend the following to make it a successful cleaning:
1) I supplement the hot water with some boiling water to really get the temperature up. By the time the water hits the spray nozzle, it has really cooled off so make it hotter. Bissell uses a heater, but it can’t be that powerful without reducing motor power. Best to supplement.
2) Patience. Go slow and go over really bad areas. You will HAVE to pretreat and hand wash heavy stains, but so do the pros. Don’t expect a diamond out of coal. You still have to do the work.
3) Clean often. I have one carpet that I waited way too long and it just won’t come clean. The pros can’t and I can’t. BIG lesson learned there.
Have fun with this. I can’t believe how much dirt there was in my “clean” areas, so it will be great to have this around to clean when I desire to. I saved more than the price of the cleaner this weekend.

Normally when you get down to this price range the only rug shampooers avaialble are those small handheld ones that do not quite do the job of the upright machines. Although they are quite powerful for their size their price does not warrant their equality in price as some of the upright machines.
Luckily for this price range there is a very decent upright rug shampooer available.
