I been using a stiff bristle brush and spot cleaner for stains in my customers cars/trucks, every once in a while Ill have to shampoo their carpet by hand using a bucket of hot water a sponge and carpet shampoo, I know there is an easier way to clean difficult stains out of carpet by using a carpet extractor, but I don't wanting to invest $600 in a carpet extractor is there a cheaper way to clean tough stains out with out buying a carpet extractor? I can afford a machine around $50-150 dollars?

The Bissel Little Green Machine is supposed to be very good.

i have one, and its freakin awesome! I bought mine off of craigslist about 4 months ago for 20 bucks, and its still running strong! It sucks up most everything. One customer spilled a bottle of tribal black tattoo ink and my machine was able to get it out (with a little help from Tough Stuff), no problem. When I run into a stain it cant get, i use the tough stuff and a scrub brush, or a tooth brush when necessary..
 
here's an 08' tahoe I did on Saturday. Little Green Machine did all the work!

heck no, mine is 2, maybe 3 feet at best.. I think you are looking at the more expensive 'steam' machine.. I got the cheapo and it works great for me..
 
I bought my machine used for 20 bucks. I use a few drops of dish soap and fill the rest with water. The only attachment I have is the one it came with.. The brush with the head to suck up the water and garbage.. For areas I cant get to with the head, I use a toothbrush and spray the fluid and scrub by hand, then suck it up.. Simple simple simple.. thats why i love it so much. You can see by the vac lines that the head is pretty small, so it gets in most of the small places..

O okay yeah i was looking at this model:



Vacuum Cleaners, Vacuum - Auto Care ProHeat(R)



Good idea with the tooth brush! Have you ever used simple green with your carpet?

that one you posted looks real nice.. when mine finally breaks down, I will probably upgrade to a heated version.. If i were you, I would buy the heated one if its in the budget.. I just couldnt turn down the one I got for 20 bucks.



And make sure you buy the 'hard' bristle toothbrushes. Soft ones just dont do the job.. I use soft bristle toothbrushes to clean around outside trim and mouldings..
 
Okay yeah Ill buy a heat version if I can save up a little more money from detailing. I just invest $200 in chemicals and pads :( Taxes drained a lot out of my savings :(

That is a steal



Walmart has the no heated version for 74.88-cheapest I have seen.. I tried craigslist, and even there it was 75...



Walmart has the heated ones for 99
