  • Checks all the right boxes
Style: Shark Carpet Xpert with StainStriker
I was looking for a carpet cleaner that fit all that I was looking for and this one checked every box. 1. Ease of use: Using this cleaner was a breeze! Using the brush roll, this cleaner puts water down as you roll forward and picks up the water as you pull backwards. Drying mode pulls up even more water. No pushing a button to put water down. This cleaner puts enough water down as well too. 2. Ease of cleaning/maintenance: love how easy this cleaner is to keep clean. Parts unsnap for easy clean up and snap right back in place, making it easy to put back together. And the dirty water tank is super easy to clean out. No more complicated maintenance 3. Light weight: I came from using a very bulky cleaner that seemed like a chore just even pull out. This cleaners design is not only sleek but very easy to pull out anytime we need to. 4. Powerful: Shark has always been a great company when it comes to the suction power of their vacuums and this cleaner did not disappoint. 5. Value: what is more to say, it’s a shark, it is worth every penny. Added bonus, 3 different hand tool attachments. ... show more

  • Easy to use, not bulky, durable
Style: Shark CarpetXpert
I love this rug cleaner! It is lightweight, fairly moderate size, so easy to store in a smallish closet, and really does a good job cleaning. I used it on an area rug without padding, and it cleaned heavily used areas quite well. It doesn't have a huge reservoir, but it isn't meant to be used on huge spaces either. I like the quick dry feature also. Despite vacuuming thoroughly before cleaning my rug, there was still a substantial amount of dog hair present. The Shark did a great job anyway. I also appreciate how easy it is to clean the unit between refills. Very easily snaps apart to get rid of the hair and grime. Overall I'm super happy and feel the price was very reasonable also. ... show more

  • A great device!
Style: Shark Carpet Xpert with StainStriker
I was looking for a carpet cleaner that would take care of spot jobs between commercial cleaning. I'm 78 and wanted something light weight. My carpet had been commercially cleaned 4 months ago. Many spots had emerged since then so I started with them. I used the hand tool and scrubbed these areas and then did the entire rug. The results were remarkable! The device was easy to use, the spots disappeared, and the carpet looks and feels like new! No crinkley feel like when the commercial guys do it. And it really, really sucks up the water. The carpet was dry in just a few hours versus maybe twelve or more when I used the commercial guys. Just go slow and let the machine and the cleaning solution do the rest. Plan to use a few minutes to clean the unit when you are done. You will be surprised at how much stuff it lifts from your carpets. I then turned to the seats and floor mats of my two cars. One front seat was a continuing problem. I had used several upholstery spray cleaners and none of them worked on the stubborn stains. This device worked the first time. The cleaning solutions really work. And they are not that expensive. ... show more

  • Definitely worth the price.
Style: Shark CarpetXpert
This is a really good carpet cleaner and the price is a good deal. I was amazed at the amount of nasty this one pulled out of my carpet and rugs. My old cleaner obviously left a lot behind but, this one did not leave anything behind and left everything looking like new. It releases the water and solution mixture evenly and in quick dry mode it pulls most of the wetness out and leaves the carpet a little damp. As for the things I would change if I could there are just a couple. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was that there were no attachments. Turns out there are no attachments because there is no place to attach them too. In other words, you can’t clean furniture or next to the baseboards and for that reason alone I wish I would have bought one that had an attachment port. But, if you are only needing it to use in carpet or area rugs then it’s great. My second complaint would be that it has a much smaller cleaning solution/water tank than I expected. I had to refill quite often. The dirty water tank and is a nice size but, still doesn’t hold very much at all. With those things being said, the compact design of this clean makes it very light weight and easy to use. So, all around it is a great deal. ... show more

  • Got pets or kids? Get this!
Style: Shark Carpet Xpert with StainStriker
This is far and away the best carpet cleaning machine I have owned and it cost a fraction of the others. The only downside is that the tanks are small so you will need to frequently replenish detergent water and empty the dirty water tank. This is not a big deal as it keeps the unit lightweight and easy to maneuver. The included detergent products work well and are nicely scented. Like other Shark products, this machine is well-engineered and easy to take apart to clean when finished using it. It does not leak dirty water as some other machines I have owned did. All the parts that get yucky can easily be taken off and washed. If you read reviews like I do online, you will see some people don’t like Shark products - that is likely because they sell the competitor’s inferior products. Buy this if you have pets or young children. You will be glad you did. ... show more

  • Excellent!
Style: Shark Carpet Xpert with StainStriker
At first IFelt a little intimidated putting everything together but it was relatively easy,as a matter of fact. This machine is easy to run and change clean and dirty water. It did an excellent job on my carpet, which was extremely dirty according to all the dirty water that came out of it. The room smells so clean and the carpet looks great. It smelled of animal urine before but this has been eliminated, thank goodness. I am very impressed and happy with my purchase. I didn’t.t even have to use the Stryker. Fast ship and great price ... show more

Style: Shark Carpet Xpert with StainStriker
The only Vacuum I'll own is a Shark, love the suction power, and this CarpetXpert Cleaner is amazing. It's pretty, it's easy to put together, it's easy to use, it cleans sooooooo good. My carpet is only 2 years old, and I can't believe the dirty water that came out of it from the cleaner. YUCK. I really love the hand held attachment so you can scrub a dub dub smaller areas to concentrate on. But you will need to stock up on the deep cleaning solution, you only get a small bottle and I went thru it in no time b/c you wanna clean everything ;) Great purchase!!!! ... show more
