Best hand held cleaner

So far it's been significantly better than the bissell little green machine. I love how easy It is to use and clean and how well It cleans stains out of upholstery and carpet.

Small cleaner works like a charm

I used my new Shark portable carpet and upholstery cleaner to shampoo some dirty spots on my carpet. And I was so impressed! I will use it a lot to clean up spots on the carpet. I don't have pets, so the separate tool for cleaning pet messes won't be used. But I can see how it would be useful. Very thoughtful little addition. The machine is designed well and I'm glad I got it.

Do not buy!!

This cleaner is really nice but it has a flaw. The hose brakes so easly i read a few reviews that spoke about this but i thought it might have been mishandling. No, this hose is so easy to break they should of used better plastic for this. So i would not recomend anyone buy this cleaner until or if they ever fix this issue. Specially for the price compared to other cleaners. I gave it one star because whats the point of it working good if the main component which is the hose breaks with minimum use.

Not just for rugs!

I bought this cleaner not knowing what I really needed. So once upon a time, we bought like cloth pleated window blinds. Great blinds but after over 20 years of use, they had accumulated alot of dirt on them. It turns the Stain Strike does a fair job of cleaning them up. Its not perfect but good enough will do!

Saved the day again and my favorite rug 💕🍃

Absolutely the best money I've ever spent ! We have 3 huskies and one had an accident that my robo vacuum “Rosie Big Bootay” found first and smeared it all over my rug that goes under the dining room table 🥺 thought for sure we'd be making a trip to the dump but nope, my SharkStikrr saved the day again and my favorite rug, Rosie, not much hope for her 💔 Thanks Shark for making a great product 🐾✨ being a husky and human mom is rough on carpets ! But wouldn't trade them for the world

Great machine..almost

I've owned it almost a year..time for a review. Works well...just a few gripes...almost a perfect machine.. -Noisy -Hose about 2ft too short..cannot put on the floor and hit all cushions and couch area - power cord needs to be 3 to 6ft longer.. nobody has a couch next to wall outlet..you have to use extension cord.. Yup Almost perfect...even with the shortfalls ...I recommend

Good cleaner. One question

This is a really good small cleaner. But... one question. It apparently needs two liquid cleaners to operate: the 'Deep Clean' and the 'Oxy Multiplier'. I'd prefer to just buy one when it's time to get more. Is one more important than the other? I'm hoping I can just buy the 'Deep Clean' and it will still do that job. Thx.

SHARK DOES IT ALL!

Well our old Bissell was on its last legs, so I went looking for something at least as good or even better. I found this Shark Stain Striker Extra and liked it features as described on the box. I got it home and followed the easy-to-use directions and WOW! I can believe how well this machine cleaned the carpet and how easy it was to operate. And what is always a consideration is how easy it is afterwards when you need to clean up the components. The dirty water bucket is super easy to wash out, I mean you can get this completely clean which is always a problem with all the other carpet shampooers I have owned and used. Same goes for the vacuum suction blade on the front that suck up the dirty water. The roller brush area just pulls up and you can completely clean that area and when you are done with that you can remove the brush roll out of the unit for easy and complete cleaning and it just snaps back in the unit. Same for using the handheld sprayer that you would use for small spots and or furniture,The top portion of the head comes right off allowing you to clean any debris out and it just snaps right back on. AMAZING! Thanks to the people at SHARK they simply have thought of everything!, what a great machine!
