Sometimes referred to as carpet cleaners or deep cleaners, carpet shampooers are rated on their ability to remove tough stains such as tomato juice, coffee and red wine from carpets. Their ease of use and reliability is also considered in performance testing. The type of warranty that is offered with each carpet shampooer is also a consideration when rating for performance.
