Great buy!

We bought this because of a sick pup with bladder stones. Accidents have been happening frequently until surgery is had. This works great and easy to clean in between. Great buy!

Leaking after less than two years of gentle use

I've owned this for less than two years. It's started leaking on the floor when not in use. I've checked to make sure everything is connected properly. Not sure how it's leaking. Going to have to throw it out.

Only worked once

I use this one time and it worked great. I tried all the troubleshooting suggestions and still would not work the second time I tried using it. For me, anyway, it's a piece of junk unless you only want to use it one time.

Powerful little cleaner

I bought this machine about a month ago. I absolutely love this little carpet cleaner!! It cleans so well, love the scrub brush and the trigger. And then picks up almost all the water. The carpet was completely dry within a few hours.

Great little machine

I received it a couple of weeks ago. It does a great job cleaning up spills and old stains. The only reason why I did not rate it with 5 stars is that the hose is not removable and as such cannot be replaced.

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.

Poor Quality

This is the second time that the hose busted on me, in 2 years. I LOVE Shark, but this spot cleaner is not worth it. It works as good as my old Bissell that lasted me 4 years. I will not be repurchasing a new one.

Useless, only worked once.

Absolutely useless, save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. Only worked once after buying it. Went to use for a second time barely a month later and no water/solution will dispense or cycle. Waste of money, had to go out and buy a different brand, should have started with the competitor to begin with.

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.
