SharkStainStriker Portable Carpet, Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner with Pet Mess Tool, Stain & Odor Remover, Perfect for Car Interiors, Includes 3 Cleaning Tools & Cleaning Solution, White, PX201

I purchased this Shark StainStriker in November of last year, and after nearly a year of use, I can confidently say it's one of the best investments I've ever made for my home. As a parent, I used to panic over every dropped juice box or muddy footprint. Not anymore. This machine has brought a level of calm and control back to our household.Functionality & Performance:This cleaner is a beast. I've used it on everything from ground-in dirt on my car seat covers to mystery stains on our living room sofa and high-traffic carpet spots. The process is simple: you spray, the brush agitates the stain, and the powerful suction lifts the mess away. The area is left just damp, not soaking wet, and dries quickly. Its portability is a huge plus; it's light enough to easily carry out to the car here in the Frisco heat without a second thought.Value for Money:This machine paid for itself within the first few uses. The cost of one professional upholstery or car interior cleaning would be more than the price of this device. Now, I can handle messes immediately, preventing them from setting in. Best of all, the machine itself is incredibly easy to clean. The dirty water tank pops right off to be rinsed, so you're never left with a gross, smelly appliance. This is a must-have.

I have 4 cats and 1 clumsy daughter so I really put these shampooers to work. I have tried the other 2 main competitors out there and finally decided to give this one a shot and when it arrived there was scrap messes ready to clean up. The first attachment i tried out was the hair extractor tool.All directions in the box were very easy to read and I had it fully assembled and ready to roll in 5 minutes.I had messes to tackle on my back Sofa Cushion, 2 entry way Rugs, 1 area rug, and our carpet.This thing was super light weight to cart around from place to place. Every spot was thoroughly cleaned and a couple had been there a few days awaiting arrival of this machine and still lifted up with ease.It might take me a little getting used to as all the tools have a rubber cleaning mechanism and I mistakenly thought at least one of them came with a bristle brush like all the machines I have had prior. I only mention this because I felt like I needed to put a little more elbow grease in on the higher pile area rug bcuz of the friction on the rubber pad being harder to push along vs a bristle style brush. The mini tool has a bristle style brush but all others are rubber. The pet hair extractor tool superated the hair and some tiny bits of food that were stuck deep down in the carpet I didn't realize we're left behind so I did not get into the main tank which is exactly what it's purpose was, which makes me feel confident this machine will hold up well over time since that crud won't be clogging up the hose.The best part is that everything can be taken apart and washed so no more rotten egg smell lingering when you are trying to clean up a mess since you can clean everything on this machine! This one is far superior to any little cleaner I have tried!

For years I have been struggling with the Bissell Little Green Machine but now I struggle no more. The Shark Carpet (and more) Cleaner is a well designed and result delivering machine which is much better than anything else I have used in the past, excluding professional rental equipment, but this unit costs the same as a 24 hour professional rental and it's yours to keep.The one thing that makes this a winner hands down, even before you compare performance is how easy it is to clean. Panels pop off so you can get into parts to rinse them clean after use. The discard reservoir is accessible for scrubbing and rinsing.The Shark seems to have more power than other products I have used and the twin cleaning reservoirs is a good idea, so the solutions mix while the unit is being used and deliver excellent cleaning power. The unit is compact and no heavier than other brands, so it is easy to move around, plus it comes with a few extra tools, however, there is no storage solution for the pet tool or the extra wide brush, so I have had to repurpose a small cloth bag which is stored with the main unit. Maybe future offerings could include an accessory pouch.Overall I am having way too much fun with this, and I am almost tempted to let my dog pee on the carpet so I can test the pet mess tool. No more Bissell for me, ever.
