Default Carpet cleaning machine?

Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive carpet shampoo/cleaning machine that is good for the interior of vehicles?

Default Carpet Cleaner

I use my Bissell Spot bot cleaner with attachment. Works great for what I use it for. I was actually very impressed by how well it worked. Did the whole inside of my truck with cloth seats and looked like new. $135 on amazon. A hoover and Bissell carpet steamer with attachment will work the same too I guessing.

Have you considered a portable wet/dry steam vac as a possibility ??

All carpet suppliers suggest steam cleaning because it's the most comprehensive method of getting the job carried out.

I borrowed a household machine (Bissell?) with a hand attachment from a neighbor last year to clean up the light gray interior in my wife's lease return and was surprised at how well it worked.
Having a small enough hand attahment to get in tight spots with was key.
The salesman at the dealership that I returned the car to commented that it was the cleanest car he ever took back off lease, and I didn't even get my current leases from them. If he would have seen it a week or so earlier he would have made a completely different comment.
Needless to say, she has a black interior in her current car.

I use "McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner". It is convenient to use.

Is it cordless with a charger and battery?

It suggests it has a power cord and a/c supply.

Yes I saw in it's specs it has a 10 foot power cord. I suppose it would be difficult to get a steam cleaner to work off a recharchable cordless battery. It would be more appealing to me though.
