Any experience with renting carpet cleaner machine? (feddit.nl)

Thinking about to cleaning the carpet this summer but unsure renting a carpet cleaning machine is the way to go or I should just get a machine. Anyone has tried renting one and would you recommend the store your rented it from?

Thanks and happy Canada Day.

If you have pets or are otherwise cleaning up lots of spills, I recommend getting a handheld one for spot-cleaning.

If you're doing whole rooms, I recommend renting one, as they work better than most of the consumer ones you can buy. I've rented from Home Depot before, many big hardware stores have them.

If you're on a budget, ask around to friends and family to see if anyone owns one. Getting them a six pack of their favorite beer is cheaper than renting. The performance isn't as good as commercial ones, but it's still better than nothing.

Thank you so much for the info. I did borrow one from our friend few years back and was wondering the cleaning wasnt that clean. I was originally thinking it was my problem. Good to hear the rental are more the real machine. Will go rent one then.
