Rug Doctor Deep Carpet Cleaner — features, strengths and limitations
1093170 / 93170
Editorial review Reviewed 28 October 2026 How we assess products
The Rug Doctor Deep Carpet Cleaner 1093170 makes a strong case for a thorough wash of a heavily used carpet. Dual-action brushes and extraction lift embedded dirt, while Super Boost applies extra treatment to stubborn areas. Setup and controls are straightforward, and the included upholstery tool extends its reach to stairs and soft furnishings. The cost in effort is substantial: the 14.25kg machine is heavy to carry and manoeuvre, and it washes on backward passes. Its 3.8-litre clean tank can still need several refills during a long job. A folding handle and removable tool caddy ease storage, but this remains a large appliance. It suits deliberate deep cleans better than quick, frequent refreshes.
