There are lot of those on the market now.  I've never really cared much
for the ones I've seen, because so many leaked dust.

Lately though, they seem to be better.

I have never seen a Dyson before.

It's amazing what a steam cleaner will do with a "clean" carpet.

In high school I worked for an apartment complex briefly, and 
steam cleaning apartments for re-rent was pretty disgusting
sometimes.

I had to empty a 2 gallon water container three times for one apartment,
and it looked perfectly clean when I started.
