I sure did Andrew. This wasn't a good test of it's cleaning ability, as they were only a month old, however, you would be surprised how murky the reclaimation water was :eek
I start off with Adam's Polishes Carpet and Upholstry cleaner. I spray onto the matts and then take a bristle brush and do some light aggitation. If the carpets are super dirty, I have a 4" attachment that goes onto my PC that I can work some things out with that I got from TOL. Then I use TOL's Rug Renew as the kicker in the Lil' Green machine, which is the heated version and I would not suggest the unheated one unless you put some smokin' hot water into it to start. I spray and extract at the same time as opposed to letting the stuff just sit there and extracting later. I've been using this with our home extractor as well with great results.
I've handled some really murky jobs with it and have been impressed with it's value overall. It's not going to completely remove some stains on really screwed up vehicles, but I'm not targeting that market, so that is part of the reason why I haven't spent the $1400 on an extractor. However, when I get my new place, I will buy the floor attachment for it as well so it will be a dual purpose machine
I like to compare the Lil' Green to the PC vs. Rotary. The rotary (or heavy duty extractor) will make work a lot easier, faster, and with better results, while the PC (or Lil' Green) is a decent entry model.
