Any good hand held carpet cleaner reccomendations?

[euadeer]

Can anyone recommend a really good hand held carpet shampooer?

I live in a property with an absentee LL.

The carpets are 20 years old. At least. Big back story. They are actually rotting away in some areas and the property itself isn't great. We need to improve it as much as possible and then leave.

I think the living room could be improved (for now). I really need something that will work well. Just like everyone else, I'm not made of money but I have a lot of other things going on right now and if something works better then I'll pay the bit extra. I wanted hand held because we can do a bit of the room at a time.

Thank you.

I hired a karcher one for £20, ok I can buy a cheap one for £100 so it wouldn’t take long to add up. But it’s storing the bastard things.

Thanks @Damnautocorrect It hadn't occurred to me to hire one! We've moving anyway so acquiring stuff isn't ideal.
