I'm planning to buy a portable carpet extractor in the near future. Does anyone have any recommendations for any particular brands or models that have proven to be a good investment?

thanks,

Michael

Hello,

I have an edge and an ambassador by minuteman, they have been fine with me, paid 1600.00 for the edge, and got a 2500.00 ambassador from a guy going to Iraq that had a jani-king franchise.Look around in the blogs and see what some of the guys thats more experienced than myself use.

 We have used a  Betco fiber pro that we have had for years.  Only have had minor issues with it such as replacing fittings and just had to replace the drain valve.  But as I said we have had this unit for about 12 years now.

Just about any carpet extractor is going to be a good investement that will pay for itself in no time.

 Michael,

 Many new starters get an inferior machine with the thought of upgrading in the near future - so when they need the most help from their equipment, they are getting the least.

Have a look at the 3 x 3-stage, high airflow Recoil XPS from Cross American and start with a good machine that is part of a modular system that can grow with you.
