As other posters have said, Hoover makes excellent steam cleaners but you can also consider Bissell because they make several of them handheld (if you just want a steam cleaner for spot cleaning).
Word of advice though, please make sure that it’s a steam cleaner you want, which is easily and frequently confused with a carpet shampooer. I’ve included links to both kinds of vacuums so that you can read up on the pros and cons of each.
I have a Hoover and love it.
Hoover makes one that has 2x the heat. I have one and I love it. you can get it at lowes or even @ walmart.
I highly recommend Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge
The F5914 really cleans carpets well. On my worst carpet area, the cleaner did as well as a commercial carpet cleaner. I recommend the following to make it a successful cleaning:
1) I supplement the hot water with some boiling water to really get the temperature up. By the time the water hits the spray nozzle, it has really cooled off so make it hotter. Bissell uses a heater, but it can’t be that powerful without reducing motor power. Best to supplement.
2) Patience. Go slow and go over really bad areas. You will HAVE to pretreat and hand wash heavy stains, but so do the pros. Don’t expect a diamond out of coal. You still have to do the work.
3) Clean often. I have one carpet that I waited way too long and it just won’t come clean. The pros can’t and I can’t. BIG lesson learned there.
Have fun with this. I can’t believe how much dirt there was in my "clean" areas, so it will be great to have this around to clean when I desire to. I saved more than the price of the cleaner this weekend.
I bought it with free shipping from…
