[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So light weight and easy to use. Assembly instrctions were simple and I was able to put it together without any help from my husband. I have an older dog (16 yrs old) who has lost control of his bladder. There are times I do not get him outside fast enough and he has an accident on my carpet. This carpet cleaner is so lightweight and easy to use, I do not mind getting out and using it nearly on a daily basis (sometimes more than once a day).

One of our fur babies is older and sometimes has accidents. In our old home we had two carpet cleaners, one was a bissell spot cleaner, and the other was a regular bissell carpet cleaner. It didn't matter if we cleaned the spot when it just happened or if we tried to clean an older spot the stains were still there, the carpet was soaking wet, and it just ended up smelling musty. We recently moved to a new home and we rent. We were up late and saw an infomercial for the Shark stainstryker carpet cleaner. I trust Shark products my mom has a vacuum and steam mop/cleaner, and I have the same steam mop she has. We both love her vacuum. I convinced my husband to at least try the Shark carpet cleaner. When I took it out of the box I was instantly in love! It's the size of your everyday upright vacuum. The clean water tank tells you how much water to use then it has a line above the water line for the carpet solution. I immediately had to try it. Even though we have brand new carpet I tested it out in our bedroom. I was SHOCKED, the dirty water was a very dark gray. Since we don't wear shoes inside, I knew it was just from the dogs and being out in the snow. The cleaning solution smells AMAZING! I couldn't believe how quickly the carpet dried. It took less than an hour. I really liked that the carpet cleaner turns itself off when the dirty tank is full. I live on fixed income so purchasing this carpet cleaner was a huge decision for my family. I don't regret it. I love every single thing about it, the size, ease of use, and again the smell of the cleaning solution is better than anything sold in the stores. If you doubt what this carpet cleaner can do, don't. It does everything Shark says it will do. This is a purchase you won't they

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this because we have 3 small dogs and they tend to make a mess at times and have had a couple of accidents on the rugs, and even on our furniture, since one is still a puppy and learning to control her bladder. On the carpet, it worked great and the cleaning solution smells really good, so I will definitely buy more or that! The box it came in even had a QR code to make ordering easier. The suction really is powerful , making for quicker dry times. However, the part that you can add solution to clean spots on your stairs and upholstery didn’t work at all for me. The solution went from the container on the suction piece directly onto the collection tank without even dampening the upholstery. I tried watching the video, but that wasn’t the least bit helpful to actually use the “stain master” & I ended up using the smaller suction piece and just spraying the solution on first and that part worked great! It did leave some lines, though, so using a bit of a zig zag pattern seems to do better for cleaning with. If you buy this product for your carpet, it works much better than for the upholstery. It’s also easy to put together and take apart afterwards to clean with. Just don’t leave the dirty stuff in the containers. Clean it out.

it cleaned good but didnt pick up the water very well and then when i went to empty it the bottom came off and dirty water all over the carpet. even the demonstrator said he would wait to buy it til its perfected better. I like the no brushes and hope I can get it together right as the inside came loose when i went to empty it. If I WOULD HAVE KEPT THE BOX i WOULD HAVE RETURNED IT I HAVE THE VACUMN AND LOVE IT AND THATS WHY I GOT THE SHAMPOOER

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We picked up the Shark CarpetXpert with StainStriker and have been using it for a few weeks. I was impressed with how much dirt it pulled out of our area rugs. It is light weight, maneuverable and easy to use. It comes with the StainStriker attachment - a smaller power brush that works well on seats and chairs. The suction power is excellent on the main unit and the StainStriker attachment. Our only suggestion for improvement is a tighter seal around the water collector to prevent dirty water from dripping back onto the carpet. Overall, I recommend this carpet cleaner for ease of use, powerful suction and ability to clean dirt out of carpets.

I was impressed by the infomercial for this so made the purchase. It arrived quickly. The set up was fairly easy. I'm not impressed with the hose anchor. I don't see that being to efficient over time. On first use I used the striker to clean an area of my carpet where my dog always vomits. I have used regular stain carpet cleaner on this area every time she would throw up but stains never came completely out. With the striker/hose I was able to get the stains out almost completely. You really have to look to seem them now. My next attempt was my daughters 12x12 bedroom carpet. This is carpet that was in the house when we bought it 6 years ago. Therefore this is a very old carpet. I'm almost sure it must be over 20 years old....lol.. just by the style/pattern. The carpetXpert did a nice job on cleaning this carpet. Not to brand new looking but the age of the carpet and any machine probably would never make it brand new. But my daughter could tell immediately when she came home that it had be cleaned. And what teenager would notice such a thing.....lol unless it was very visible. For the machine. It has three tanks, the two upper tanks are for cleaning solution. The smaller on the front is straight striker solution and the the larger is mixture of water and carpet solution. The dirty water tank is the lower tank. I think the tanks should be bigger especially the dirty water tank. I had to empty it twice while doing my daughters bedroom. I do like that I can go from floor cleaning to striker/hose cleaning stains with the flick of a switch, and not having to take the time to attach the hose each time. I love that it has the drying feature to help with getting the most water out of the carpet to allow it to dry in 3-4 hours. I like that the quick reference options are right on the machine as a reminder. I like that it is easy to clean and remove the parts to clean. One thing I would change is the hose holder at the top back as it doesn't seem to hold the hose well. There should be the same clips as you got on the sides. So far i"m very impressed with the Shark CarpetXpert and hope to get many years out of it.

I've never reviewed a product before, however, after using this cleaner, I had to share my experience. The XPERT cleaner was little difficult to assemble, nothing outside the manual. I emptied the solutions into the tanks, vacuumed my bedroom carpet, and after a few passes, my jaw dropped and I had to call my husband over yelling LOOK LOOK. The full front window of what the carpet extracts is completely visible (I've only seen windows offering views towards the machine, not behind while you operate it) Firstly, the machine almost self propelled itself, very easy to maneuver, what I wasn't expecting was when pulling the machine back was the suction to the carpet was like no other. You can not only SEE what was being taken from the carpet, you can Feel it as well. I finished the room, took out the dirty water tank, (good thing this is anonymous, I don't want everyone Knowing) and the tank water looked like TAR. I had spilled soda, dropped ashtrays ashes, old cereal grounded in, you can imagine, not only did the XPERT make them all disappear, but what I was left with, no lie, looked like a carpet that was just laid, the pile, stood up, felt slightly damp. In begining to look for a machine, I didn't realize they had all gotten to this price range, and was a bit apprehensive, now that I see the results, every $ I spent was well worth it. The only issue I have is that the solution you need for the machine is on order only. I'm ready to get started on every other inch in my house.

Have had nothing but problems with this carpet cleaner. I have a small living area and it took 6 tanks just to clean it. Another thing is the waste water tank. The carpet cleaner shuts off when it is not even half way full resulting in me emptying it every couple minutes. It also takes about 5 seconds to shut off and during that time the dirty water will spray out of the vents until completely shut down resulting in clean carpet turning back into dirty carpet. The hose attachment also comes off very easily and will come off if barely touched.

In conclusion, based on my firsthand experience and comparison between the Hoover and the Shark carpet cleaners, I firmly believe that the Shark is the superior choice for effective and efficient carpet cleaning. The Shark's exceptional performance in removing dirt and debris, lifting carpet fibers, and providing a thorough and rejuvenating clean surpasses that of the Hoover.   The Shark's powerful suction, advanced cleaning technologies, and superior maneuverability make it a standout option for anyone seeking top-notch carpet cleaning results. Its ability to deliver a deeper, more comprehensive clean in less time and with fewer passes not only saves effort but also ensures a visibly cleaner and fresher carpet. The Shark carpet cleaner's overall performance, reliability, and user-friendly design make it the best choice for achieving professional-grade cleaning results in the comfort of your own home. If you value cleanliness, efficiency, and a superior cleaning experience, I highly recommend investing in the Shark carpet cleaner for outstanding results that will exceed your expectations.
