Shark StainStriker Portable Carpet Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner, Stain & Odor Remover, Perfect for Car Interiors, Nordic Blue, PX202BRN

This thing is the bomb. I had one of its competitors' products a few years ago and it was OK, but I needed a new carpet cleaner for my carpeted stairway (the only carpet I have in my house), and I already have a Shark vacuum and a Shark stick vacuum that I love, so I thought I'd give this a whirl even though it's a bit more expensive than some of the others. It didn't disappoint. Shark's come a long way in the reliability and finesse of its products from the first leaky iron I bought 20 years ago, and they're now among the best out there. This thing is perfect for cleaning stairs. All I can say is I'm really impressed. It's actually a lot quieter than I expected, super light weight with a convenient handle, both the cord and the hose store easily on the device (the hose nozzle even has a notch to attach to the unit's body). It came with both the base cleaning solution and an oxidizing booster solution, both of which have dedicated tanks (the solution tank must be filled with water and topped off with cleaning solution). Also comes with three brushes - a small one integrated into the hose for crevices, a 3" hand tool, a 7" hand tool (which is the one I used), and a "pet waste" tool with a small tank on it which I did not have to use, thankfully, LOL. Has a solid spray and cleans super well, and I was surprised with how much dark gray solution it extracted out of my stairway carpet. The hand tools have integrated brushes and it was quite easy to maneuver around and carry. Filling and emptying the three tanks (Water + cleaner, oxidizer and extracted waste tank) was super easy and all three just pull off of the unit. The waste and cleaning solution tanks have their own handles. I immediately bought a couple of bottles of replacement solution for future use. I also liked how they packaged it - they used recycled cardboard inserts and no styrofoam. Only two small things I think could be improved: The included power cord is fairly short, so if you want to clean something like a stairwell, you'll need a three-prong extension cord in all likelihood to reach your outlet. The cord could be longer. Also - the included cleaner bottle (Deep Clean Pro) was quite small, and might be good for maybe three tanks of water - and the Oxy Multiplier solution, which you'll use far less of, was much larger, which I thought was strange. It should be the reverse. The replacement units I bought of both were much larger. Small gripes, though. All in all, this thing is well executed and a great value and I'm really happy with it.

The Shark is every I expected and more. Super powerful suction and the carpet smells so clean afterwards. Super easy to empty and the hose cleaning feature is amazing. Keeps the head nice and clean and free of smells and yucky water. I love this machine, so much better than the one I had previously from a different company. Great for small spills and pet spots. My dog has a stomach issue and it works great to clean up his occational messes.

I love this little carved, clanner.I got it for a car, detailing and little spots on carpet and stuff like that So far, i've used it to a clean a couch And quite a few stains, and such that my kids have left on the carpet. It works amazingly well and gets all of it up.I highly recommend Also, this one opens up, so you can actually clean out the inside of the dirty water container versus the bissel does not.And trust me, you're gonna wanna clean out thats container.It can get very smelly. Does not leak . holds water well. Sprayer works well Does not overheat It is actually affordable compared to other brands.Especially for the cleaner Great job shark.

Finally used it. I was impressed. Had company coming over, figured I should try to get rid of the spots on the carpet *yes I have carpeting, yes I like it, no I don't have pets or kids or wear my shoes in the house, no I don't have allergies, yes it's easy to vacuum each week* Whew, anyway... I was impressed with how quickly it cleaned up some spots- spilled wine (yes, that's right, I didn't clean it up right away) but testament to the cleaner it got rid of the ol' RED wine stain!! Plus some other spots. I liked the scrubber on it, took me a second to figure out how to suction the water out, but once that was achieved, no issues. I liked the smell of the included soaps. Will buy those again. There was a little leakage from the hose when I stopped the first time. Second time, I just made sure to empty the hose/sprayer. Wish there was a carrying case/system for the parts and pieces, but I just threw them in a box and will hope I can remember where I put them later. Looking forward to cleaning the couch and chairs before the next party.

I was comparing a few and really ended up liking this one! The cleaner that comes with smells really good and it managed to get the stains out really well. I had tied with my cleaner and paper towels and such, but this did incredible! The nozzle attachments made it easy to go from large stains to smaller ones very quickly, there were no leaks, and I had so much cleaner left over I decided to just start cleaning my whole rug with. There is plenty to be able to clean an entire room with the capacity of the tanks. This was also super easy to clean afterwards and do easily stored back together plus is lightweight and easy to store and carry around as needed. I would highly recommend this.

I have a full-sized Hover wet/steam vac, but I was looking for something more portable for the stairs and for when baby just throws up a little. This machine has answered my call flawlessly. This machine powers through stains be it milk, grime, and pretty much everything other than superglue (no coming back from that one unfortunately). The machine is easy to use, cleans carpet well, and leaves the carpet soft and mostly dry (may need to use the suction 2 or more times to really get it pretty dry). Just a few things to note. First off, it's made to be used with proprietary cleaner fluid, so you are kind of locking yourself in to the ecosystem with this purchase (nothing too new - just look at printers). Second, the instructions for mixing water and the concentrate basically says to fill the tank to 95% with water and then add concentrate - so you're kind of forced to fill the entire container even if you only need a little. Third - the dirty water container fills up really quickly, so while fine while in use with the primary cleaning function, if you want to use it to vacuum a giant water puddle or something you'll need to make multiple trips to empty the container. If you can live with the minor inconveniences above, this portable powerhouse is a great purchase and excellent complement to a larger house-wide steam vac.

We’re a family with three young kiddos that travels fulltime and lives in a camper. After 2.5 years of daily foot traffic, our carpeting in the camper is disgusting. I have been wanting to get a shampooer for a while but just don’t have the space for a bulky machine. I decided to give this a try to attempt to target high traffic areas and clean them up. I think it does a great job at pulling up dirt and cleaning the carpet. For a decent sized space with dried in stains it did take quite a while, but I expected that as it’s years of build up and not just a spot treatment project. I ended up also using a spray bottle of vinegar to speed things up a little and boost cleaning, but that isn’t necessary. The suction works best if you tilt the head at an angle and push forward. It took a little bit of trial and error to get the maximum effect for effort put in. Pros: - strong suction - sprays well - the cleaners provided to a good job of loosing up the dirt - clear attachments so can see the dirt being sucked up - the reversible bristles on the attachment are super handy! - compact size Cons: - I wish the hose was a little longer, BUT this is meant for spot treatment, not large areas or full floor spaces. - you have to be super gentle moving the machine if it’s still running, or the water splashes and suction makes a weird noise. - limited instructions, so it took a while to figure out how to use it most effectively Overall, this is a great stain remover and would be perfect for liquid spills and cleaning projects like this where you need to get into tight spaces. It does require a little elbow grease for this kind of use, but worked very well!

I’ve had this & the green bissel & this works better! For example, I was woken to an awful smell the other day at 4 am. My dog had an accident starting from the bedroom upstairs all the way to the back door downstairs. Messy. Awful. Woke up my partner & had him fill up the water tank. Each spot was cleaned effortlessly. My tan carpet looks brand new. I wiped dry paper towels over each area & zero discoloration. My old green machine never cleaned as thoroughly or effortlessly. I’ve also used it to spot clean our couch & it worked instantly. I’m a big fan!!
