RugDoctor is great for "spring cleaning", obviously not so good for
"accidents" compared to keeping something at home.

Bissell is quite pitiful in comparison, but even a Bissell might
surprise you with what a "cleaned" carpet can look like, compared to
dry vacuuming. The older upright Vaxes have a poor reputation for
reliability, but the bigger & more recent models (mine's a 124) seem
to have addressed this and do a good job.

(probably going for one of the Which recommended ones)?

I've never been a fan of their recommendations. When they discuss
something I do know about, they talk rubbish. So I'm disinclined to
trust them when they discuss something I don't.
