Maybe maybe not

It gets clogged very easily you have to take the guard apart clean it out repeatedly and start again. It does however do a nice job as long as you continue to do that. As far as products the stain remover doesn't work unless its a spill that just happened. the machine is heavy so if you have steps to go up and down be ready. its heavy. But i needed one I picked the one i thought best, and im sure for some, it is.

Clean and happy camper

My carpet cleaner with a name that starts with a H, that I owned and used probably a dozen times broke down . I wanted to do some early spring cleaning and no rental of a carpet physician for me. I checked out websites and reviews, found that Shark is very highly recommended. I own a Shark Rotator vac and Ninja counter appliance that I like very much, and do their work very well. I bought a 201 carpet cleaner that had an issue, and Shark got me a replacement within a short period of time. The replacement works excellent and I am very happy to recommend Shark to family and friends.

Gets the job done!

Wow! This Shark CarpetXpert with Stainstriker is really easy to use. It has great suction to remove the dirt and water from the carpet. Even my older carpets and area rug carpets look fabulous and clean after one afternoon application. The Shark Deep Clean Pro formula removes dirt and stains and leaves a fresh scent that is not overwhelming and doesn’t linger too long. Very happy with this carpet cleaning machine and cleaning products.

Pretty good for carpet cleaning, wait for a sale

It does do a great job cleaning up most stains, but only with the shark. Carpet cleaner. No other brand or homemade cleaner that I tried works really at all. And I believe the instructions even said only use shark brand cleaner, though I just assume because they just want you to spend more money buying their expensive cleaner. After a month, when I use it even with a fresh cleaned out tank of water and cleaner, it still smells a bit funky. The downside is the spray hose is constantly in the way. I wish there was a better place to put it instead of being right where the buttons and lever are. Also, the dirty water tank only holds a third of its space worth of dirty water before you have to dump it.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so sorry to hear that you aren't happy with the placement of the hose on your Shark. We don't recommend using another brand of chemical because there's a potential for damaging the unit, not getting optimized cleaning performance and chemicals mixing that are not designed to mix. If you need any help with your product, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team by phone at 1-855-427-5127. Kind regards, Shark Clean

Ex200 Nice shampooer

I purchase the EX200 on March 19, 2025. I read the the reviews a lot good and few bad. I can say this it clean better than Bissell which gave out on me. People said it has a small water tank 3/4 gal and bissell has a 1 gal tank, they fail to tell that shark also has 1 qt oxi tank which will give it a gal.I like that it put down going forward and suck pulling back also I like you can which so that it will suck up only leaving carpet dryer. It is easy to clean up after you are down shampooing

A Powerful and Convenient Alternative to Rentals

After years of renting bulky commercial carpet cleaners like the Bissell Big Green and Rug Doctor, I was ready for a change. While those machines provide a deep clean, the hassle of renting them—lifting them in and out of the car, dealing with unknown contaminants from previous users, and the overall cumbersome process—made me seek a better solution. With three carpeted bedrooms and a guest room that stays mostly untouched, I wanted something compact, powerful, and easy to use. That’s why I chose the Shark CarpetXpert Carpet Cleaner, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. One of the biggest benefits of owning this machine is the convenience. I no longer have to worry about renting a cleaner or struggling to lift a heavy unit in and out of my car. Plus, I have peace of mind knowing that my machine is used only in my home, without wondering what kind of mess it has previously cleaned. Despite its smaller size, the CarpetXpert delivers a deep clean that rivals, if not surpasses, commercial machines. It effectively removes dirt, stains, and odors, leaving my carpets refreshed. The automated cleaning process is another standout feature. The CarpetXpert precisely dispenses water and cleaning solution, scrubbing the carpet while vacuuming as you pull back. This makes the entire process effortless and efficient. I also love the built-in hose, which allows for quick spot cleaning without having to deep clean an entire room. The thoughtful design makes it easy to maneuver and store, without sacrificing power or performance. Overall, the Shark CarpetXpert Carpet Cleaner is a game-changer. It’s compact, efficient, and provides professional-quality results without the hassle of renting. Whether you have kids, pets, or just want an easier way to maintain clean carpets, this machine is a must-have. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful yet convenient carpet cleaning solution.

Remarkable

This is the best carpet cleaner I have ever had. The upright and all the attachments cleaned tears of stubborn dirt that I don’t even know existed.
