Default Help finding a steamer!

I have been searching online for a carpet steamer, but haven't had much luck. I am looking for something around the $100 range (not sure if that is too low). Somebody please help me! Any suggestions?

for that price... you can buy a shark steamer. that's like a household steamer.. they claim that you can use it in a car.. but, don't take my word for it.. i just saw it Linens & things.. cost about $30+ i never saw a 100... $250+ steamers are the lowest you can see in the internet..i think.. good luck in you search.

What about the Bissell Green Clean? It is only about 100. Good for starters?

Okay well as an extractor, do you think it is a good product for a beginner?
