Shark - CarpetXpert with Stainstriker Technology Corded Upright Deep Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner with Built-in Spot Remover - White

Our house is a Shark house so when this came up I just had to add to our home based on all our prevoius satisfaction with the Shark products. We have another brand home carpet cleaner but it is much larger, a bit bulkier, and harder to maneuver. It works good but in our house we have 3 kids rooms, a few offices, and mutliple high traffic hallways that need cleaning. One complaint about the other carpet cleaner was having to lug it around the house and up and down the stairs. That was the first thing I noticed about this Shark Carpet Xpert was the size or actually how much more compact it is than most others on the market. With the smaller size also comes a bit of a compramise on the size of the water tank also but I was easily able to clean one of my daughters bedrooms with only a single tank of water and solution. It automatically applies the cleaning solution as well as you are pushing/pulling it, no need to pull or hold a trigger like the other ones out there. It has a nice long cord as well so you can get across larger rooms or around corners with ease in longer hallways. I was disgusted by just how dirty their carpets were and after using the included cleaner not only does their carpet look much better but their room also smells better. One thing I will say was that it took roughly half the bottle of concentrate that came with the unit to clean one room on the heavy duty cleaning setting. I plan to use the other lighter mode moving forward once all the carpets have had a deep cleaning to keep them clean to allow for less cleaner to be needed on future carpet cleanings. It also has a versatile attachment and specific solution for that if you have pets that have accidents on carpet and requires specific spot cleanings. We don't have pets but do have stairs so this attachment is a great option for either scenario. Overall another great addition to the Shark family and probably our 6th or 7th Shark product we have owned over the last 10 years with this being the 3rd or 4th one currently in use in our home.

Shark CarpetXpert with StainStriker is not only for carpets but for area rugs, furniture and stairs as well. Strong suction to extract dirt, debris and water for quick drying of the carpet. Using the solutions provided, it can do deep cleaning and remove odors both very well. Smell very good after using the cleaner. The brushroll rotate at high speed during deep cleaning hence it is doing a pretty good job. This has built in spot and stain remover hand tool connected via a hose to the main body, however it does not have a motorized brushroll for the hand tool, you have to manually move the brush back and forth to brush the carpet. But the brush has 2 sides, regular brush and rubber knobs type which I prefer. It is easy to use, has 2 buttons, one to turn on and one to select mode; cleaning mode or quick dry mode. Assembling the cleaner is very easy, just follow the included manual exactly. Cleaning the cleaner is also very easy, after cleaning the carpet, remove the dirty water, clean the sponge filter, remove the brushroll, wipe the area inside brushroll housing and that's it. It is not too heavy so pretty easy to carry around as it is designed with a built in carry handle. The cleaner is well designed, both the hose and power cable stored nicely attached to the body. Has 5 years warranty which is a plus. Comes with 1 Shark CarpetXpert Deep Clean Pro formula, 1 Shark StainStriker OXY formula, 1.5" integrated crevice tool, Pet tool, 3.5" reversible bristle tool and 1 hose cleaning tool.

The Shark CarpetXpert Upright carpet cleaner did a fantastic of cleaning my carpets. My home has several carpets. I have two pets and a family. Weekly vacuuming is the minimum required to keep the surface dirt under control in my home. However, stains from spilled drinks, animal matter, and dirty wet feet build up over time. There are some things we just do not have control over. Or so I thought until I gave the Shark CarpetXpert a try. My cat left me a lovely pile of vomit on one of my carpets that very day I unpacked the CarpetXpert. How nice of her. I cleaned up the surface dirt with paper towels and a quick vacuum. I noticed that the entire carpet had stains from spilled liquids, foot traffic, and soda can rings. The CarpetXpert made quick work of all the stains and even stored some of the original brightness to the carpet. I have included before and after photos of the carpet in question. I also included a photo of the water tank wastewater and the mess left inside the nozzle so you all get a sense of what the CarpetXpert extracted from the carpet. Warning. It is gross. The carpet measures 8 feet by 10 feet. It took me about 30 minutes to clean and about 3 to 4 hours to fully dry. Setup: Read all the directions before setup and first use. The instructions are printed on a single, double sided sheet of glossy paper. That’s it. Read them twice and then twice again before operating the unit. The Shark CarpetXpert Upright is more sophisticated than a regular Shark vacuum. Like Shark vacuums, the CarpetXpert shares the same quick connect and quick release technology for all the parts. The big difference is the addition of detergent tanks, a water tank, a wastewater tank, floats, and the different uses for the hose and adapter heads. There are also online videos for additional help and instruction. The Shark ships with two bottles of cleaner: 12 oz. Deep Clean Pro and 16 oz. OXY Multiplier. There is just enough in the 12 oz. bottle to fill the Stain Striker tank. There will be some left over in the bottle. Also, this bottle has a weird aluminum seal with a fabric center. I have no idea why. There is no obvious reason for the sophisticated seal. Nor any obvious use with the CarpetXpert. The Deep Clean Pro goes undiluted into the StainStriker Tank. The OXY Multiplier is diluted with water in the CarpetXpert Tank. Both cleaners are used together to deeply clean a carpet. There is no hard rule stating a carpet must be deep cleaned. However, I chose the deep cleaning route for my carpets. Use: The CarpetXpert gets very heavy when cleaner and water are added. There is a handle/shelf hidden under the hose that should be used to move it around. Pushing the CarpetXpert back and forth does require some force. Unlike a vacuum, moving the unit forward dispenses cleaner and water onto the rug. Pulling the unit back extracts the water, cleaner, and loosened dirt. The added resistance inherent with the CarpetXpert forced me to slow down my cleaning and focus on smaller sections. The dirty water tank filled quicker than I expected. There is a float in the tank that will rise as dirty water fills the tank. The float closes a door at the top of the tank which cuts off the flow of air to the rest of the unit. Be sure to have a drain filter in your sink before emptying the dirty water tank. Otherwise, you will be pouring bits of hair, rug fibers, dirt, grass, pet matter, and other large debris down your drain. This could lead to future plumbing issues. Cleaning was easy and hard at the same time. The brush and brush cover are filthy after use. The brush cover and the roller are removable. The nozzle housing also requires cleaning. Guess what does not come off for cleaning. The nozzle housing. I have not found a safe way to fully clean out the nozzle housing. I stuck it under the faucet in my bathtub. Regardless, follow the cleaning instructions after each use. Otherwise, bacteria and mold could build up in the system and generate odors. Finally, the carpet will be wet and there will most likely be water on the floor around the perimeter of the carpet. I used the Quick Dry mode on the unit to reduce drying time. I do not know the impact of allowing the rug to simply air dry. What I saw was more dirty water being pulled into the dirty water tank. I think I made the right call. Results: The results are first class. My basement has a specific sour smell that I simply could not find the source of. It turns out that part of my problem was the carpets. Dirty feet, dirty shoes, cat yack, food, drink, and other contaminants have all contributed to my carpet biome. Cleaning the carpets have vastly reduced the sour smell and most likely impacted my unwanted carpet’s biome. What not to do: If you have a “Dry Clean Only” carpet or a wool carpet then do not use the CarpetXpert. I had a cat accident on my wool carpet that I chose to use the Pet Tool to clean. This attaches directly to the hose and has its own small wastewater tank. The cat accident was cleaned but I also pulled out a lot of rug fibers that proved difficult to clean out of the Pet Tool. In the end, it was not worth the effort. It also convinced me not to use the CarpetXpert on the whole carpet like I originally planned. Lesson here. When in doubt, use the hand tool on a very small are of your rug before attacking the entire rug. Final thoughts: Vacuuming alone is not enough to keep a carpet clean. The surface dirt can be kept under control. I had no idea how much dirt was ground into the carpet until I did a deep cleaning with the CarpetXpert. Now that I know, I will make deep cleaning with the CarpetXpert a regular part of a cleaning regimen. I am thinking once a quarter will. Maybe more frequent in high traffic areas. I was a little disappointed in how much the wastewater tank held before the float closes the air intake in the tank. However, dirty water can get very heavy, so I get it. I would have also liked to have seen a thicker user’s manual. Otherwise, I think this was a very good investment for me that will lead to healthier rug biomes and an overall healthier environment.

This is the best cleaner. We had spots we couldn't get out for years. The stain striker devolved it right away. It took big black spots from foot traffic and it took it right up. Overall it did a fantastic job 5 stars.

Cleaning solution leaves carpet smelling great!! You can see the dirty water being picked up.

The best carpet cleaner I ever had. I have pets and the urine stains came out with ease.

As an avid enthusiast of carpet cleaning and vacuuming, I possess a vast collection of both. Among my recent acquisitions, this particular one stands out as my favorite. Notably, it serves a dual purpose, eliminating the need for separate machines dedicated to carpets and upholstery. Its multifunctionality is truly remarkable. What sets this machine apart are two noteworthy features: 1. it excels at effectively extracting water from both floors and upholstery. This means that your surfaces will be left significantly drier, and a much shorter drying time. 2. it possesses a remarkable ability to expedite the drying process with a build in drier!!! However, it's important to note that while the upholstery attachment does an excellent job of extracting water, it does not contribute to the drying process. Only the brush roll does. It's advisable to retain the instruction manual as there may be a slight learning curve in mastering its various functions. It’s just a bit confusing at first but it’s nothing that anyone can’t learn and the rewards of this learning process are well worth it. I assure you, you'll be delighted with the results. It is worth mentioning that this machine is not the lightest or most compact option available in the market. Nevertheless, it remains relatively easy to maneuver due to its built-in wheels. While the upholstery cleaner requires some manual effort, like most other similar devices, its ability to extract water compensates for this minor inconvenience. The efficacy of the upholstery cleaner is further enhanced by the inclusion of two separate cleaning liquids for different purposes. One reservoir contains a general carpet cleaning solution, while the other is designed specifically for tackling stubborn stains on upholstery. But it is annoying considering buying 1 carpet cleaning solution refill as it is can be quite pricey, but you have not only one, but two refills to get for each reservoir. And not to mention inflation has upped the prices of everything. So it can be a little expensive if you use it often overtime. In my experience, this machine has proven highly effective at removing various stains, surpassing the capabilities of my previous devices. However, I must admit that it struggled with a sticky tar-like substance that had adhered to the bottom of my husband's shoes, and then into my rug. Ugh. I have been unable to remove it despite my best efforts. Nevertheless, the machine successfully eliminated the remaining oil residue that my other ones couldn’t get, leaving me satisfied with its performance. I included some pictures, 1 is a size comparison next to a regular stick vacuum cleaner, another is to show you just how much slack you have with the upholstery cleaner, it’s very Long which is great considering you don’t have to constantly struggle with the length. And then another is showing you just how much this thing picks up, it picks you way more than any other model I’ve had and it also doesn’t leave nasty chunks of hair left all over your carpet, it just sucks it all up (but you are supposed to and I did vacuum thoroughly beforehand, but since I have animals, the hair gets deep in the rug, and this thing literally pulled that and any dirt that was left behind right up without any problems) 10/10 definitely recommend!

Im sold on shark vacuum cleaners so after my 2nd hoover dued i decided id try this one. Not disappointed. Attachments are great. They have an attachment to use on dog accidents so it contains everythkng sucked up in its own container and it doesnt run through the actual cleaner. A must if you have pets especially baby pets. I use it alot in home and in my vehicles. Does great job.

I saw very good products, but first of all I received very good service from you. thanks a lot
