steam vs buffer

Hi Florin,

There is a lot you didn't say so its difficult to know what you want to accomplish. If you are trying to clean moderately to heavily soiled carpet in  your own home, you would probably be better off giving the money to someone else. For 300 you can probably get someone to come out and do a decent cleaning if your house is not too large..

I don't think you'll find anything of quality in the 300 range which is new. The best carpet cleaning tool in that price range is probably a high quality  used vacuum.  Orec makes a small home product named the Orbiter  which is some kind of carpet/hard surface cleaner.  I believe it is a pad or brush driver, around 400 dollars, probably not going to be useful in large areas but might be a handy tool around the home.
