Using just an extractor leaves a lot of dirt. Using a
shampooer only leaves ALL the dirt, as none gets drawn out.
My shampooer was a buck at an auction, and the extractor was
$150 at the store. Ultra Tide powder laundry soap has worked
well, for me, as detergent.

For that much, consider laminate flooring and never shampoo again. Laminate
has other advantages:
* Doesn't absorb smells
* Won't stain
* Will not show wear
* Easy to clean
You can accent the floor with throw rugs, which also insulate bare feet from
the cold. Acceptable laminate flooring can be had for as little as fifty
cents per square foot.
If you decide to experiment with laminate, check back here for useful tips.
Are you looking for a commercial cleaner or one for the home?
My wife swears by (not at) her Hoover Steam Vac. Less than $140.

You'd be about 3 weeks removing all that detergent with an extractor.
Extractors are intended to be used with carpet cleaning emulsion; not
soap, not detergent.
$500 will buy a carpet cleaning toy.
You ought to consider shutting the fuck up about things of which you
know nothing.
