I find heated solution works rather better. I just use warm water when filling. I'd look for other machines at lower price but with the important features.

Oh - one tip, forget buying the carpet cleaning solution, washing powder is much better. Bleach, ammonia & vinegar can be useful for carpets that haven't otherwise cleaned up - not mixed together obviously. And of course bleach is only for bleachable carpets, which most aren't.

Washing powder is an absolute no no. It will leave a residue behind to
attract dirt & make the fibres sticky.

Buy a decent Prochem product

Washing powder residue is dry powder. Carpet cleaning solutions OTOH use detergent that leaves a sticky residue. The line I heard in a presentation was that despite that it was a good tradeoff, no further details. Having cleaned carpets many times I've found washing powder much better.
