Update: After a year of using the steam cleaner above... combined with 2 children, a large dog, cream carpets and lots of work of the garden...
We decided we needed something more substantial than a 'spot carpet cleaner' which is how the steam cleaner has turned out.
We use the steam cleaner a few times a week on the hard kitchen floors and bathroom floors - and it works like a dream. but it not ideal for deep cleaning carpets.
So we've just bought a proper carpet washer...
this one...

Its got soooo many marks out of the carpet - including dried childrens paint!
Very very impressed!!!!
No more money to be spent on rug doctors and the hassle of hiring them!
I can now have properly clean cream carpets
