When you need to give your carpets a refresh but don't want to spend hundreds on a premium carpet cleaner, budget options like the Russell Hobbs Upright Carpet Cleaner start to look appealing.
That's why I put this £79 carpet cleaner through its paces with deliberate stains and real-world testing to see if you can get decent results on a shoestring budget. While it won't tackle deep stains as efficiently as the best carpet cleaners on the market, it's a decent enough device for the price point.
