Default Fixing Carpet Cleaner

I have a hoover carpet cleaner I have used for about 5-8 years. it breaks
frequently and I need a new place for parts because the last one seems to
be out of business. Does anyone know a website to get hoover carpet
cleaner parts so I can keep fixing this thing.

Or maybe a better brand that is not plactic junk that will last a bit
longer?

Or should I try taking it into the local store? The unit only cost about
$200.


Thanks!

Apparently these thing hold up well on shorter type carpets but die an early
death on shags. You could buy a Rug Docter unit which are normally rented
out. There is sales contact info on the rental units.

The Bissel Big Green is plastic but has held up for many years for us, with
a few improvised repairs. It does a pretty good job imitating a scaled-
down commercial extraction cleaner.
