As someone who's previously relied on getting my carpets professionally cleaned twice a year, I was genuinely excited to try the Rug Doctor Deep Upright Carpet Cleaner. Better known for its rental machines, Rug Doctor promises expert results in a domestic, everyday model.

After putting it through its paces around my busy family home, it's fair to say it didn't disappoint - it lives up to the brand's reputation as one of the best carpet cleaners on the market.
