Default Carpet extractor

So why did I not know about the magic of spot extractors until now?

A friend who owns a few motels on the Oregon coast clued me in a few weeks ago when I complains that after the Hoover upright carpet shampooer died, it was a pain to scrub stains (mostly ground in dirt) from the carpets. He mentioned that extractors and said that he has 2 at the house and I could borrow one for as long as I liked. Well, let me tell you!

The Minuteman Gotcha is one heck of a unit. Simple, easy to use, makes a manly noise (like a belt sander) and cleans voraciously. Did several carpet spots, mostly wear patterns, and the 15' couch and it was amazing. Because of the dogs, the couch made the dirty water look more like weak coffee but that was the point.

Anyone use these? This brand costs about $100 more than the average bid that I got for cleaning and treating the microfiber couch, so I'm more or less sold. My friend only recommended 2 brands, this and maybe Tennet?. He's tried almost all on the market but the Gotcha has stood up to daily use in the motels for three years and running.
