Shark MessMaster Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum

I love how compact it is and has great suction!

I've been on the fence about spending the money to get a spot cleaner or a wet dry vac for the occasional dog messes. Until a few days ago when I finally made this decision after my 11-year-old dog had an accident on my sofa and the kids thought that somebody just spilled water. So it sat there for two days before I laid down on the sofa and smelled it. I decided to go with the wet vac because I don't mind using my own brush and elbow grease to clean up certain messes as needed. I need something that's got good suction to be able to remove urine and cleaner, enzyme-based, from the upholstery and foam and is easy to clean. It arrived via FedEx a couple of hours ago. The box was a bit crushed on one corner but the packaging inside protected the unit and accessories nicely. As soon as I opened the box I put it to work. I love how you can use it wet and dry at the same time no need to remove filters because the filter is not made from paper. It came with two plastic bags to start off and that was awesome because after I cleaned the sofa I decided to go out to my car and clean the passenger seat. It had been spot cleaned after a kid dumped a container of yogurt in it and I knew it wasn't clean completely and of course I decided to vacuum the floorboards as well. When I was done and opened up the top of the wet vac to remove the bag it was full of little pieces of leaves, sand dirt, and of course all the water and soap that I had sprayed down the sofa and the car seat with. I lifted the bag out tied it up, took a towel wiped down the inside of the lid, removed and rinsed off the orange filter screen, and now I'm letting it set to dry. I am so so happy that I finally made this purchase. I should never doubt Shark Ninja. Every product I've ever purchased, over more than a decade, has never disappointed me. So if you're a pet mom, a kid mom, or both and you're trying to decide if you should get a spot carpet cleaner or the wet dry vac I highly suggest this wet dry back the suction is unbelievable. The attachments are nice as well and I love that they clip to the side and the hose has a clip to wrap it around the lid like the cord wraps around the handle. Its light weight and much easier to maneuver than my previous shop vac that attached to a 5 gallon bucket. Its not overly loud, didnt scare my dog or bearded dragon in her tank behind the sofa.
