“Both machines are pretty much the same size overall, with Rug Doctor being slightly taller and slightly wider than Big Green. ”
“A plastic housing just doesn't isolate the noise of the motor very well, but I can understand that keeping production costs down necessitate the use of plastics. ”
“The water tank is not removable at all, so it also tells you not to fill it all the way if you only have a little cleaning so the tank will fully empty. ”

4.0 out of 5 starsRug Doctor vs. Bissell Big GreenSeptember 29, 2012

Amazon Vine™ Review(What's this?)
I've been given both products to review from Vine and after a week of steam cleaning with the Rug Doctor, here's the rundown.The cleaning tanks:Big Green BISSELL Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine Professional Grade Carpet Cleaner, 86T3- smaller tank, easier to fill and dump, black and white spinny indicator dial tells you if you are still dispensing solution. (I have owned this for 2 years now, my review should be the third one down)Rug Doctor - larger capacity, no removable clean water tank makes filling the tank a bit of a pain, especially if you are not right next to a source of hot water.. Leaves you in the dark as to when the clean water tank runs out as there is no indicator, and the clean tank is blue and opaque in color. Capacity of dirty tank far exceeds the capacity of the clean water tank, which is also more difficult to dump.The comfort factor:Big Green - feels more sturdy at the handle, which is more flexible than the Rug Doctor's. Lighter machine (partly due to the decreased capacity) and much easier to push. The machine's handle locks at 90 degrees, which makes it easy to scoot the machine over small inclines in flooring. (such as baby gates and thresholds) I can do my entire 1600+ sq ft carpeting and not even feel it the next day.Rug Doctor - the handle leaves a lot to be desired. It has a lever to pull to reposition the angle of the handle. The point that joins the handle to the machine feels flimsy. Even when locked at 90 degrees, it still feels flimsy and makes hefting the machine over bumps in the road all the more difficult. The machine is very difficult to push - it almost feels like the machine is fighting me - and it made my hand (the space between the thumb and index finger) and right shoulder sore to use this machine for an extended period. Compounding this is the fact that the button to dispense fluid is in an awkward position, which puts additional strain on the wrist.Performance:Big Green: capable machine. About the same cleaning power as the Bissell 2x Pro Heat. I use Bissell's solution and sometimes add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice to boost cleaning. Great suction power, no major issues.Rug Doctor: I actually don't know if it is the machine, my inability to puch the machine as fast as the Bissell, or Rug Doctor's formula, but the Rug Doctor seemed to get stains out with fewer passes. Next time my carpets are filthy I might use the Rug Doctor with Bissell's formula, or the Big Green with Rug Doctor's formula to check it out. It is to be noted that when I use the Bissell I do push it rather quickly, which is likely the reason for the difference. I tried to keep my pace the same with the Rug Doctor, but was unable to do so.Nit Noids:Both machines come with a detachable hose. Rug Doctor was nice enough to throw in a bag for their hose.Both machines are pretty much the same size overall, with Rug Doctor being slightly taller and slightly wider than Big Green.Both machines are roughly at the same price point with 30 dollars currently separating the two.Overall build quality on both machines (aside from the handle) feels about the same.Drying time on the Rug Doctor seems longer.The lid on the Rug Doctor does not flip up. It just kind of gets in the way of everything.Overall, I prefer my Big Green. I'd say you would be satisfied with either machine, but more satisfied with the Bissell. If you are looking at these machines then you probably have a lot of carpet to clean. So if you are bent on getting the Rug Doctor you won't necessarily be displeased with your purchase. It is a nice machine, a capable machine, and is not significantly more expensive. I'll be updating this as I use both machines over the next several months, hopefully with a video if I can get my act together, LOL! ;-)I hope this review has been helpful!
