What is best carpet cleaner
Best Carpet Cleaner 2019 - TESTED- Bissell vs Rug Doctor vs Hoover
hey everybody welcome to vacuum Wars and
to our best carpet cleaner competition
2019 edition since last year we've added
a few more machines and updated the way
we test them slightly for example we
made the stains a little tougher to pick
up this year and use the exact same
solution in each machine and there were
some pretty big surprises so links in
the description and let's get started it
should be noted that these carpet
cleaners generally fall into three
categories
the budget category like the Hoover
power - in the Bissell turbo claim the
mid-level machines like the Hoover power
scrub elite the Bissell 2x revolution
pet Pro and the Hoover smart wash
finally we have the premium carpet
cleaners like the bissell big green the
rug doctor wide path and the new rug dr.
Pro deep clean most of them have a
slightly different take on how to clean
the carpet with one vertical spinning
brush of different sizes being the most
common way but we also see a horizontal
spinning brush system on the power scrub
or a single vibrating brush bar on the
wide path or vertical to brush systems
like on the 2x revolution and smart wash
the other difference is with these
machines are mostly about their tank
size and their build quality obviously
the premium ones are built to last
evidenced by the fact that all three of
these are used in the rental market and
get a ton of use I found that the tank
size is more important than you might
think though and tank size pretty much
follows price for example the budget
cleaners have a really small tank which
means that you'll be wasting a lot of
time filling and emptying these machines
if you're trying to use it for a whole
house cleaning as they're really just
meant for spot cleaning or really small
areas in other words if you're going to
be using these a lot or for large areas
than the larger the tank the better so
for the stain tests I took Georgia red
clay mixed it with water and applied it
to medium pile carpet with a paint brush
as equally and as evenly as I could for
some of the other stains I took exactly
one ounce of grape juice and one ounce
of v8 juice and really worked it all the
way into the carpet for some deep down
stains and let it all dry for 24 hours I
know we all want to get to the tests and
you can skip to the time stamp if you
absolutely can't wait but there are some
variables to discuss that are pretty
important for example in a recent video
we found that the type and amount of
detergent you use per gallon of water
significantly impacts the results of the
test so for this test I took exactly
four ounces
the winning detergent from that video
and in most cases mixed it with exactly
one gallon of water for each machine I
say most cases because in the case of
the Hoover smart wash and Hoover power
scrub you have to put the detergent and
the water into separate tanks and the
Machine mixes the solution for you so
yes I put the same four ounces of
detergent to one gallon of water in them
as I did the others but I can't be sure
how the Machine mixes the solution
internally as far as the amount and
speed of the passes I alternated passes
with solution spraying on the forward
pass and suction only on the reverse
pull making two complete passes each I
counted eight seconds for each pass one
final thing was that there was a
malfunction with the Bissell turbo where
it wasn't spraying water equally during
the test I've been using this particular
machine a lot recently at my house so it
could be starting to fail with a lot of
use as it is a pretty inexpensive
machine also I feel like the bissell big
green the premium bissell did much worse
than it did last year and my only guess
is that the handle on the top should
have been in the front position to
create a better seal so i think i'm
going to disqualify its results for two
years in a row as frustrating as that is
okay so there were two big winners after
all the testing was done the first one
wasn't really a surprise as it won last
year as well
and that was the Bissell Proheat 2x
revolution pet Pro it did the best with
the clay stain as well as the grape
juice stain but it also happens to be my
favorite in terms of features and
usability I like that it has an easy to
use hose lots of attachments for stairs
or upholstery and it handles just like a
regular vacuum which is nice really the
only downside is the one gallon tank
could have been bigger and it's a little
pricey the second-place winner though
and the one that really surprised me was
the Hoover power dash which arguably did
the second best with the stain test of
any in this competition especially with
the embedded stains the reason why it's
surprising though is that it's one of
the cheapest machines in this
competition which may be the reason it's
currently one of if not the best selling
carpet cleaner online the main downsides
are that the tank is extremely small and
it doesn't have a hose or any
attachments so it's basically just meant
to be a spot cleaner it's just really
impressive that one of the cheapest
machines did the best and I should
mention that I did better than the
previous test I've done with it probably
because of the type and amount of
solution I used
as far as the rentals and after my user
error disqualifying the big green I'd
have to say that the rug doctor wide
path was the winner with a stain test
but it should be noted that the new rug
doctor Pro is light years easier to use
with its removable clean water tanks
ergonomic handles so you can go back and
forth instead of just one direction like
with the wide path so I personally like
the pro deep clean version of the rug
dr. better although the rug dr. wide
path did better in the stain test a lot
of people asked me last year to test
which one dried the quickest and I tried
to devise a way to test which one was
the most dry the next day but they were
all so dry that there wasn't enough of a
difference to score it so I guess I
would say that dry time is not as big of
a deal with these cleaners as long as
you're not soaking the carpet with water
