Royal SE 2800 Hand-Held Spot Cleaner
We live in an apartment with hardwood floors and only have a few carpets.  I wanted a carpet cleaner to take care of high traffic areas and spills but didn't want to buy a full/bulky carpet cleaner.  It works perfectly!  It was easy to use and got rid of spots that had been there for months.  I purchased it over the Bissell because of reviews that I saw on this site and couldn't be happier.  I feel that this was money well spent.
