Grew tired of my Hoover SpinScrub 50 with its flimsiness and its propensity to go through brush turbines, so I purchased a Rug Doctor X3 with the hose attachment. It is evidently the same rugged machine that they rent out. The only difference from what I can tell is that the rentals are red and the for-purchase models are blue. I'm supposed to get it tomorrow (due to a major delay with FedEx) so I'm kind of feeling like an anxious kid on Christmas morning. You know you belong on AW when you are giddy at the thought of new appliances
