Looking for a small 6 gal heated extractor. Primarily for auto detailing.
Heated unit...power is not issue.

Alot of dealers have advised that Century 400 series is the way to go, others have advised they stopped selling Century 400 units since their products have had a really high failure rate for the machines they have sold.

Then there's other brands I am not familiar with bearing I'm not a carpet cleaning guru. Love to get some recommendations on a 6 gal sized heated extractor fellas.

IMO you would be better off looking at the MYTEE machines. They come heated in that size, and offer the greatest bang for your cleaning dollars than any other brand.

If you're serious about cleaning carpet, the Recoil is the only way to go. The power is one thing, but the tank is even better. If you think time and labor is valuable, then consider getting the machine with the biggest tank. 40% bigger means you refill 40% less. Year after year you will reap the reward of thinking ahead.
