For the cost of renting one (and buying chemicals) you're already close to buying a cheap residential grade cleaner. They're handy for basic cleaning and are (imo) ultimately far better value than renting the equipment.

Your best bet/value though - hire a professional. I had my (small, apartment style) condo done for about $100. The results were FAR better than anything I'd ever been able to do myself. A professional crew could do a typical home in a couple of hours, with fantastic results, for $250ish.
We did look at that too, our problem is we can really only do the one room right now. Once the renos are done and we don't have a ton of crap in every spare room we will have the whole house done. For now we just want to clean the carpets in the masterbedroom before moving everything back in.
