When I got an email offering me a chance to review the Rug Doctor’s latest product – Portable Spot Cleaner, I took the offer with both hands. We regularly rent the Rug Doctor Machine to deep clean the carpets every now and again, so this was a golden opportunity. We have a cream carpets all over the house, and with two busy toddlers and a blogger that is forever testing various samples and staining the carpets, we cannot afford not to clean our carpets regularly. So you can imagine how excited I was to try out this new machine.
The Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner was sent along with the following products:
Rug Doctor Portable Machine Spot Cleaner
High Foot Traffic Cleaner
Rug Doctor Oxy Cleaner
Here is what Rug Doctor had to say about the new machine:
RUG DOCTOR – The Next Generation Clean.
x2 Suction* compared to leading portable carpet cleaners
The ONLY Portable Spot Cleaner with a handheld motorised brush for deep down cleaning
No more carrying. Comes with wheels and a new retractable handle that allows you to effortlessly wheel the machine to the stain… and back! Size of machine allows easy storage.

After the clean
Here are my thoughts:
PROS
- It does the job. Most of stains and spots on our carpets are gone.
- It is very portable; the luggage style handle and carpet friendly wheels means it is quite easy to move around, this is particularly great when cleaning the staircases.
- The machine is readily available to buy from Rug Doctor, Tesco, Morrisons, Argos, B&Q, and other stores.
- It is cheaper and more convenient than hiring professionals to do the clean. You can grab yours at £154.99.

CONS
- We couldn’t clean the carpets in an upright position, like how you would vacuum, we had to bend down all through the cleaning.
Overall, I will recommend the Rug Doctor Portable Spot Removal Cleaner to anyone whose carpet is needing a bit of TLC, and a good clean. It is perfect for busy families with children and pets. It is a handy machine to have around.
