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.

All love to you, Sharek. Indeed, the Sharek vacuum has proven its high power in cleaning stubborn stains. It removed a coffee stain that had been in place for more than a year and was not removed with any cleaning agent, and I despaired of it. Today I received my broom and I was amazed at how quickly it cleaned this stubborn stain 😍😍 Thank you share

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Shark® CarpetXpert™ with Stainstriker™ Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner. It is the perfect carpet cleaner. It was easy to put together and use. I was able to clean 3 rooms very fast. The carpet was dried before I knew it.

I have had this for 5 months and now it leaks from the clean water container when not in use. When I use the handheld part it starts leaking. Getting clogged very easily and does not always want to suction correctly. It costs so much and doesn't even last half of a year.

very happy with the cleaning power and the fact that it was easy to take apart and clean, BUT.. the dirty water tank fills up way too fast. looks like the shut off float is set too low, because there is definately more room in the tank to hold more dirty water. I spent more time stopping and emptying than cleaning!!

I have owned Bissel, Hoover, the top lines right to the big heavy machines. This unit is by far the easiest and best performance of any unit I have used. On a normal vacuumed carpet with appropriate dirt for it, this unit cleaned and the carpet was dry to the touch in an hour. The nastiest ground in dirt with an obviuos foot path from the door on a much neglected carpet took several run thrus and some stain cleaning, so all the tools but the pet one was used. The carpet with a fan on the floor took about 4 hours to dry, the look now of the carpet was well worth the effort and dry time. None of my other machines could have produced these results in the same amount of time. A statement by a prevous purchaser commented about the cleaning solution being available only at shark, that is no longer the case, can be purchased from multiple sites now. I would have no problem recommending this unit.

It shoots the dirty water out of the side vents. It does it from the start, not because the water is full. It destroyed my walls. Also, I have every shark vacuum there is, so this was a questionable purchase, but this is nothing like the vacuums. It doesn’t pick up stains either. Not happy

First use and I'm impressed! I have two small children and 6 cats with beige carpet, so I was looking for an effective, easy to use carpet cleaner. The CarpetXpert is perfect! It's so easy to go from Stainstriker to Deep Clean to Quick Dry without even turning it off! Stains came up quickly and the carpet was dry within a couple hours. The 5 year warranty is awesome too.

Love this machine. Cleans well, light enough I can navigate it. The pet stain striker definitely makes life easier. I have 2 dogs and stuff just happens. I want to add that the service from the company was great. My original one stopped spraying after 6 months. Called the company, we did a one way video trouble shoot in real time, that day. We could not 'fix' it. The company didn't miss a beat. Sent a replacement that day. Great machine, great warranty (5 years) great company support. Doesn't get much better. This cleans better than the professional cleaning I'd had dome 3 months before I purchased this. Well worth the $.
