Default Carpet Shampoo - Machine help!!

I am looking to do some detailing for side work. I am looking for a decent machine for cleaning carpets and seats. Does anybody know one that may not cost too much? Thanks.

Funny, thats what I have used for probably 10 years! I guess I am looking for a easier way. I am getting lazier.

good ones are top notch but cost a lot, see below? On E-bay people sell the Rug Doctors you get at Lowe's etc. and they have the attachments, What i would get.

If you're truly going to do it right, you need a machine with at least 200 degrees and 100+ psi. Those usually start around $600.
