Not EVER going to recommend a Kärcher for anything!! Spares and reliability on new machines is rubbish and very expensive.

Good enough for " bodge it and scarper " merchants like Hector though.

how about a second hand steam pro from prochem or a ninja? and a gradi groomer for agitation.

They are small enough to store in your garage. Just make sure you run fresh water through the pump and leave the waste tank open after use since you'll only use it a couple of times a year.

A million times better than puzi or rd's. You can get a second hand steam pro for about £600 - £800.  A rug doctor is about £600 new.

anyway I think the OP has given up on the idea

If you have the volume of work to achieve a turnover of £80,000 who in their right mind would use a machine the takes 3 or 4 times as long as a proper piece of equipment. I started with things like rug doctors 30 years ago after my very first training course I was taught that there were far better quicker machines  I just had to move on. I cannot sell something unless I have the confidence in it and after my first training course  and the realisation of  how crap they are I had to buy better equipment.
This realisation took about 3 months. 
I think when people say how well they are doing you need to for the evidence  to back up what they are saying. Anybody with professsional pride want to evolve and improve productivity results and just stay up to date with progression.
