I bought a Hoover steam cleaner in 2000. It didn't last the year. For big jobs, rent one. For little jobs, use s shop va.

I have the new hoover which include an option to jujst use plain water to rinse. The "shampoo" is in a seperate bottle so you can shampoo rinse and just use suction. It works well. 150.00 or so

I have the widepath model of the hoover with the auto rinse feature. Seems to work well. We have used it a ton and so far it has been reliable. THe extra wide model like we have is a good idea. In an emergency (at a different location) we rented a rug doctor unit. It was skinny and took forever to do the job though it did a good job. Both do better than the commercial guys that do your whole house in 90 minutes. How can that be thorough? It can't.

Except that the commercial guys use a very power truck mounted system that has significantly more suction than the personal units.
