My old Hoover, which wasn't really that great to begin with, is on its
last legs. I really don't feel like fixing it again. I need a good
machine since I own apartments, and carpet cleaning is something I have
to do a lot. Professional size machines, like the ones you rent, are
too big for the smaller, city apartments I manage (I have to do a lot of
stairs.. which the upholstry attachment is key).

Any recommendations? THe biggest problem I had with the Hoover was it
was not really great at extracting the water/soap back out. It always
got the carpets too wet.

Should i spend the $$$ and go with Oreck?

None of the smaller units seem very good at that. I don't know about the
Oreck aside from the vacuums being overpriced.
