Why do you want one of these machines, i have used  them in the past and the result is not as good as with a wand and hose, these machines seem to lack pump and vac presure. Have you considered a power brush i use mine connected to 50 ft of hose stand the machine in the corner and clean a whole pub without moving the machine. They tend to have a fairly small solution and recovery tank and generally no heat.

I am pointing this out because years ago we spent a couple of grand on one and it just didnt do the job we hoped.

The have a cylindrical brush underneath that rotates as solution is injected in the carpet this  is then extracted back into your unit. Craftex, ashbys and woodbridge sell them i think new around £500 or upto a £1000from extracta theses gadgets will make life a lot easier as all you do is pull back the unit a lot less effort than wanding large areas with better results, plus you can work in pre sprays by not having the vac on your machine swithced on and just using the brush. look on ebay i have seen them going on their from time to time for aoound 2 - 3 hundred pounds.
