  • wow!!!! hair removal is GREAT!
Style: Shark CarpetXpert HairPro w/StainStriker
We have pets...I recently had a Eureka vacuum, and a Bissell carpet cleaner...However the hair seemed to become more of an issue....and Both stated machines always needed cleaning after use.. I reluctantly Bought a Shark Vacuum......That was amazing! I love that vacuum....so when I saw there was a "pet shampoo carpet cleaner" by Shark I was again reluctant to buy/but had high hopes. It arrived/easy to assemble, I immediately had to try. I cleaned the front living room 12x12 with the shark vacuum first. Then used this carpet cleaner. WOW! the pictures say it all! the hair collector bin was filled with hair/even AFTER the room was carefully vacuumed! This machine is easy to use...it feels slightly heavy/but operates like a dream. The electric cord is plenty long. The shampoo cleaner container is easy to remove/install. I like how it has a "measure line" on it so I don't use more cleaner than I need. The best part is this has a "pad" to put the cleaner on when storing so if any liquid is remaining, it won't leak on your floor. So back to the pic's. As you see this is only a one time use with the carpet solution. ALL THAT HAIR! and.....the brush remained hair free!!! what a bonus! As I read other reviews...some say the cord is short/it is not..it's about 15'? some say the collection bin is small....it is/but it allows you to clean a room without emptying. The cleaner solution container to dirty water collecting container seem to be proportional...so one container of cleaner/will empty as soon as your dirty collection fills. The still amazing issue to me is...all that deep embedded hair that was not seen, not picked up by yesterdays vacuuming and todays vacuuming. I stopped using my Bissell last summer because after every use it seemed as if I had to disassemble to remove all the hair that got stuck in the roller,vacuum suction,hose....after using this Shark it appears I only had to remove the hair fron the yellow bin and rinse the dirty water container. Very nice, Good Price, and I Would buy again. ... show more

  • Got pets or kids? Get this!
Style: Shark CarpetXpert 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

  • Checks all the right boxes
Style: Shark CarpetXpert 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
