Carpet cleaning machine

I am looking a buying a steam cleaner/shampoo machine.

Do specialty detail places use a specific brand or type of machine that I should look for?

Thanks

I bought the Bissel auto version from crappy tire (I think it was $130). I am pretty happy with the way it works. Did a really good job cleaning carpet mats with minimal effort.

I am sure there are better, more expensive machines out there. But if its for personal use, the price is right.

I saw the mighty lite. Is that one of the better entry level units?

What do most higher end detailing places use?

$600-700 is that us or CAD?

I'm looking for a bigger better unit as I have a few cars/trucks to clean

Anyone heard of the Emachine?

Thanks

The Mytee Lite is beyond entry level, it's definitely a prosumer part. I recommend it highly if you're looking to spend around $700.

Yup the Mytee is great and if you plan on doing lots of work Euro then might be a good choice.

Eshine has to order right from the US so it takes a few weeks to come in

two thumbs up for mytee lite II. If you are looking for something not as prosumer you could check out crappy tires Bissell ProHeat2. I've heard some decent things about it.
