swiss army extractor?

[rubber city stripper]

im realizing im going to need to offer some level of carpet services to fill out my schedule. i want a portable extractor system that can cover the common services requested that can be done with a machine thst fits in the back of an suv. trying to keep the budget around $3-4k for the machine, plus a 2-3k for accessories and chemicals. any suggestions on where to start looking and what at? i have a low speed and bonnets, but much of what i read lately seems to say bonnets are going out of fashion due to wear and tear on the carpet. point me in a direction please and thank you!

PEX 500 is in that range. Makes a good traveling porty. Quite too. Bonnets are not out of style. There’s so many different kinds. Fiber pads would be a good thing for agitation. Pads, bonnets, 175, and a good porty is a good start.

thats what i was hoping to hear. ive got some friends that just stopped doing any jobs besides carpet (they found their specialty). im going to ask if i can come work a job for free for a day to get some real world teaching cuz youtube only goes so far. then i can post absurdity and business noob questions in 2 forums! thanks kenny.
