[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I opted into this because I have a kid and had lots of carpet and upholstery with deeply embedded stains and odors, even though I don’t have any pets, I needed a deep cleaner for our carpet and upholstery to make this house nice again. I do not just recommend it for households with pets. I’m sure it’s great for pet households, but it’s just as great for any household that needs a good deep cleaning. With the Shark CarpetXpert, I am able to finally get rid of stains and odors, and it’s so easy and fun!!
I had a really easy and good time assembling this, I don’t always follow instructions well but the included User’s Manual is very clear on assembly, usage, and maintenance of the CarpetXpert. If I can do it, almost anyone can, I have severe ADHD.
Using the CarpetXpert was also easy and fun! Everything about this thing is easy and fun. It sucks all the dirty water and soap up into the dirty water tank on the front, in one of my pictures you can see how some dirty water collected after doing a chair and part of the carpet. It’s not for delicate rugs, but for carpets. It’s not a vacuum cleaner, you really probably need to vacuum before using it in fact. It’s a deep cleaner, and a wonderfully convenient one. It will leave your carpet and especially upholstery wet and it takes a while to dry so I recommend using it before bedtime. But what a difference it makes!! Everything is so much cleaner and fresher, and stains and odors are gone for good, until we get new ones. I really feel like if I continue to use this after vacuuming, my home will be a much nicer place to live in and my family will be healthier.
It certainly seems well-made and durable, and even maintenance looks fun and easy. It’s a chore, and a bit of a workout, but this CarpetXpert makes it all enjoyable and rewarding.
I still have to get the hang of using the hand tool properly because the soap got all over my hand when I used it and the soap isn’t supposed to touch your skin. I know I should’ve washed it off but I didn’t and had no reaction. By the way, this comes with two cleansing solutions (the soap) and they smell nice and clean and fresh, making your carpet and upholstery smell nice and clean and fresh (and mild).
Just don’t lose the User’s Guide and you should be fine! I recommend this to anyone with carpeting who wants a nice clean fresh house. I’m so used to my house being dirty and this really does wonders. I posted a review of it on my private Facebook account too and a friend said it’s the same exact model they use at her job, she cleans motel rooms and has told me it can get very messy (she’s even found blood there). She loves the CarpetXpert too.
