Well our old Bissell was on its last legs, so I went looking for something at least as good or even better. I found this Shark Stain Striker Extra and liked it features as described on the box. I got it home and followed the easy-to-use directions and WOW! I can believe how well this machine cleaned the carpet and how easy it was to operate. And what is always a consideration is how easy it is afterwards when you need to clean up the components. The dirty water bucket is super easy to wash out, I mean you can get this completely clean which is always a problem with all the other carpet shampooers I have owned and used. Same goes for the vacuum suction blade on the front that suck up the dirty water. The roller brush area just pulls up and you can completely clean that area and when you are done with that you can remove the brush roll out of the unit for easy and complete cleaning and it just snaps back in the unit. Same for using the handheld sprayer that you would use for small spots and or furniture,The top portion of the head comes right off allowing you to clean any debris out and it just snaps right back on. AMAZING! Thanks to the people at SHARK they simply have thought of everything!, what a great machine!
Do NOT buy the portable unit!!

I purchased this unit 15 months ago. Spend the extra $$ for the full sized carpet cleaner so you can replace the hose when it gets holes in it! While the unit itself is easy to clean after use and the cleaning fluids work GREAT on messes and stains, it has a hose that is easily broken due to being accordion style. The hose is not replaceable (it is part of the unit body) and it is not covered under their warranty. 😲 Therefore, unless you tape up all the holes that happen with normal use, Shark expects you to just buy a brand new one!! 😡

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry about the frustration with the hose. I understand how disappointing it is to have the hose develop holes and not be replaceable, especially after investing in a carpet cleaner you expected to last. We will absolutely share your feedback regarding the warranty policies with the relevant teams internally. If you need any further assistance with your product, please don’t hesitate to reach back out to our team at 1-855-427-5127. Kind regards, Shark Clean

A little bit of history. I have rescue dogs that have some special needs. One has severe tummy issues and is elderly. The other is high anxiety after being abused. So my elderly dogs tends to vomit frequently and can not hold her pee through a whole work day anymore. Now today, I finally caved and decided to try a shark instead of Hoover. I have been a Hoover advocate for years, well not anymore. This little spot cleaner got the red dye out of my carpet that has been there for months!!! My high anxiety girl got out of her crate and got into the dye bag. I have cleaned it with my Hoover 3 times!!! This shark got it out in less than 30 seconds. I’m not freaking kidding. It got the set in blood from my dog who have hemorrhagic gastroenteritis completely out. When I mean that blood was stained in for two years and in less than 60 seconds it was freaking gone. I never write reviews and I’m definitely not paid for them. But for this once I am because I have NEVER been so amazed before. Shark for the win and forever now. Hoover who? Let’s just say once you go shark you never got back. I can’t speak of the longevity of the product as I haven’t made it but one day with it, but that one day took out months/years old stains. Highly highly recommend. I wish I had taken a before and after photo, but I didn’t know it would work this well. So my words are all I’ve got.

Great until hose breaks

AP - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
It does a good job of cleaning, but after using it periodically for a year the hose developed a hole where it bends near the handle. Called Shark for warranty replacement and was told they can’t replace the hose, have to replace the whole body, and they’re out of stock. So I was told to try again later. Not great customer service/warranty service.

Bought this about a year ago and I absolutely love how great it it works. Then the hose started to tear, it would seem the length of it should be longer work a reinforced outer coating to keep the hose from tearing. So sad, I'll just keep tapping it up or what ever I gotta do. But it has kept me from using it as much as I've wanted to.

M Sullivan - 6 months ago
Intended on doing the carpeted stairs and this is not the machine for that! It may be good for small uphosterly/carpet stains. The most frustrating thing is that hardly any water is dispensend, however the cleaning fluid is 5x the dispensing rate. I am not sure how this would clean anything. I have a Shark vacuum which I love, but this does not meet expectations and will be returning. I love to clean and this had zero satisfaction.

This thing was promising at first, then it fell right apart and nothing was included in the Warranty. The normally exceptional warranty service that Shark gives does not an apply here. The hose is not covered and it was the first thing to break. The unit also began leaking solution after a few uses, and the cleaning and ease of disassembly and reassembly instructions and intuitiveness are below average.

Shark products are outstanding. This carpet cleaner had a scannable code right on the top of the product that contains one of the BEST videos I've seen on how to use a product. Bravo to Shark for putting that video together. It explains the options simply and tells you how to get the best results. It also explained features I didn't even know it had. The product is thoughtfully designed and intuitive to put together and use, just like their regular vacuum cleaners. The suction is amazing.
