“ONE PASS CLEANING SYSTEM THAT CLEANS AS POWERFUL AS A PRO.”

We loved this:

  • Large capacity
  • No setup required
  • Offers superior deep cleaning
  • Incorporates large capacity tanks
  • Highly versatile
  • Two year consumer warranty


We disliked this:

  • Water pump needs some maintenance
  • After sales service could be better

Bottom line:

This is a well-built and a strong choice for home and commercial use alike. Just needs to be kept clean and dry after use for a longer life. Some may find it slightly heavy to use but believe me the cleaning results will leave you surprised.

Honestly Reviewed

We have reviewed the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 Deep carpet cleaner after owning one. The review is completely based on the practical usage of the product. We have tested on a variety of stains so just read the complete review below:

Even the experts recommend thorough and deep cleaning of carpets/rugs at least once a year. If you are bugged up paying professionals for the carpet cleaning job then considering the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 is a great idea.

When it’s about giving your carpets a deep clean this hefty cleaner will work like a pro (quite similar to the one which you could probably think of renting from a home improvement store).

We have tried it on the most stubborn stains and put it to test on numerous filthy surfaces.

Does it actually work as claimed? 

Let’s check out…

Easy Assembly – Ready Steady Go

Products with tricky set-ups are just irritating for most of us. But the good news is the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 is just ready out of the box – yes a big box. We just had to plug-in and fill the tank using a cleaning solution and there we were ready to work.

There are two large capacity tanks that offer more cleaning time without the need of emptying them frequently.

The large wheels and folding handle makes the usage super simple with easy maneuverability.

We were quite happy as a lot of time was saved with the 3.9 gallon solution tank and 3 gallon dirty water tank.

This new machine is the one you can use without any hassles.

Brilliantly Engineered Design

The unit looks professional and with a weight of 39 lbs this remains sturdy. Not so difficult to use but you just need to bend a bit to fill the water tank. 

This unit is designed to offer commercial strength which in turn helps in restoring and reviving several soft surfaces and carpeted floors. 

Since the wheels of Mighty Pro X3 are large enough so you can roll it anywhere and the handle is easily foldable making storage convenient. As already mentioned its recovery tank is also bigger with a capacity of more than any other machines. 

Enhanced carpet extractor vacuum motor with pro-grade suction power removes pet stains & odors, gets the floor cleaner, and assists in faster drying times, making these ideal steam cleaners (you can put hot water from your faucet for optimal results) for home and commercial use. This not only looks powerful but is built to last long and strong. You can get more detailed features here.

Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 review

High Grade Performance – Cleans Deeply Almost all Stains

Another appreciable attribute of the Rug Doctor Pro X3 is it cleans impressively deep. Plausibly this quality makes it a hot-selling product.

Its Triple Action Vibrating Brush scrubs all sides of each carpet fiber releasing dirt & odors that other steam cleaner machines may be incapable of while targeting pet hair, pet urine, and mud tracked in from outside.

“We were amazed to see how deeply it cleaned the chocolate and mud stains on the carpet.”

You can just pair it with the mini hand-held upholstery scrubber tool (sold separately) for reaching all those nasty corners with convenience. The X3 carpet cleaner uses power packed jets that inject carpet cleaner solution deep into carpet to shampoo and begin releasing dirt, grime, stains, odors and more.

Of course the product remains highly rated and loved due to one more feather in its cap – CRI GOLD RATING. This is awarded by the Carpet & Rug institute for water removal, soil removal, and gentleness on carpet.

Cleaning and Storage is Slightly Typical

Everything comes with a set of good and bad features. Though we appreciate almost everything about the Rug Doctor but while dealing with the dirty tank we found it a bit tricky to remove and clean. Though we had to try our hands on it and the filth needed to be removed properly. Ensure to keep it open for some time to let it dry completely.

Now the brushes too have a lot of pet hair and dirt after the cleaning is done and this is probably with any carpet cleaner you put to use. We considered reading the manual too and probably there wasn’t any easy way out to deal but to clean them thoroughly.

You can try out this model by Rug Doctor which is much affordable yet effective. 

Now the size is large too, so storing it is another big problem if you are short of space. After a thorough clean we managed to keep it in the garage closet for its longer life.

Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 VS Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution Pet Pro

In case you want to try a carpet cleaner that works parallel or a bit better than the Rug Doctor then you can surely try the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro. We have tried this as well and it is much lighter than the Mighty Pro X3. The Bissell Pet Pro looks similar to a vacuum and is great at cleaning various surfaces and picking up pet hair. The design is impressive with an easy spray feature and clean brush roll cover.

Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 VS Bissell Proheat 2X

The Bissell 2X may not be efficient enough to offer deep cleaning like that of Rug Doctor Pro X3 but is designed with the state-of-the-art technology and remains a superior choice for pet owners. This costs around $270 and if you want something affordable yet a one that performs like a pro then Bissell Proheat is unbeatable.
