We use the Cobra-DLX from Diamond Lustre. It's 3 stage unit with heat at 200+ F at the nozzle. This is of course a commerical unit, and unless you want to spend $2200.00+ for personal use I doubt you'd be interested.

We have had the DLX since 2003, used daily, often several times per day and never had a single problem or issue with the unit.

Diamond Lustre does offer many other units, priced from $1600 - $3400. There web site is http://www.diamondlustre.com/extractors.htm.

Since you did not mention if this extractor was for personal use, or professional you might not find my post very useful. :)

you definately want heat. cant help with brands but i just know that heat makes it soooo much easier. and a bottle of stain remover helps too. we use stuff called Zap-It. its green and foamy, smells great, and removes many stains so the extracting is much easier

How about using a normal vacuum cleaner, combined with Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner and the All Surface Interiour brush. Works great for me.

I have been looking at the Mytee line. They aren't up to the level of the Cobra units, but they appear to have great features and a good price. The HP60 looks to be a good unit and you can find it for under $1K. Anyone use any of the MyTee line of extractors?
