I love mine and it "never loses suction" just like the MUCH more expensive Dysons claim to.

For shampooing, I have Hoover Steam Vac Dual V. It works miracles, I tell you. Best tip I got and follow: vacuum with a regular vaccum first, clean it thoroughly after each use and don't leave any water or detergent in it b/w uses.

ETA: And we have THE most crappy carpet imaginable in our current rental and the Hoover gets them a zillion times cleaner than the commercial ones I rented before I wised up. SO worth the money.
