Hi Guys
I have the Texatherm and it gives good results on carpet tiles and the advantage of the heated pad is that you can use a very hot pad on a particular stain.
I hardly ever use on doemstic as it is too heavy/clumsy or is that me!
However I too thought it was expensive for what it was and bought secondhand, nearly new for 1000.
I thought up the name Dry 60, carpets clean and dry in 60 minutes and if I feel I want to use my system as a bonnet I call it that to give it a bit more kudos as I only call it Texatherm if using their chemicals.
Cheers
Doug
