What a great little unit! Right off the bat the first thing I noticed is that the unit is so compact. I find I am less likely to use something if there are many parts to put together and or extensive directions to read. I was able to figure out how to attached the additional tools, how to add water and cleaning fluid without reading a thing. Bravo Shark. Everything is all attached so it’s easy to pull out add water and cleaning fluid and clean that spot right away. The unit I received came with two additional cleaning tools; the 3.5” hand tool and the pet mess tool. Shark really put a lot of thought into this unit and it shows. The pet mess tool collects the dirty water separate from the main unit so you don’t get pet business in the main unit. Really thoughtful, thank you! The rug in my living room has a cream color band around the edge. The dog lays on the rug so of course the band is now a bit more grey than cream color. Using only the Deep Clean solution (not the Oxy multiplier) I was amazed how clean and well, cream colored the edging really is. Next I added the Oxy multiplier and cleaned a spot next to the first area I cleaned. With Oxy multiplier it added a brightness. It looks really nice. Fortunately, I don’t need the pet mess tool yet, my puppy is 13. I expect as time goes on this will be very helpful. Definitely, recommend this little compact unit.

This is my second spot cleaner / upholstery cleaner. The Shark is by far superior. It comes pretty much assembled. All you have to do is add the cleaning solutions and attached the cleaning heads. I don't like the way the solution tank is set up as far as the measuring of the solution and water. The tank doesn't sit level so it makes it a little difficult to see. Other than that it's no issues. The attachments are great. The Pet-Mess attachment does a good job of keeping the "chunky" parts out of the water tank to keep it from getting clogged up...love that feature. Both the cleaning attachments work well and have agitators. My only negative about the handles are that if you press too hard you can see them separate at the base of the wand. Obviously, probably shouldn't be pushing to where it might break, but I feel it could be made more sturdy at the connection point. The size of the dirty water tank if more than enough than needed for doing upholstery or spot cleaning. You won't have to keep changing the tank over and over again...but make sure you clean it once complete or you'll have a stinky mess as with any cleaner that sucks up liquid. The tank releases easily and is easy to clean as well. When done the cleaner hose, wraps around and cleaning handle attaches to the base unit for storage. It's light weight and easy to store.

The Shark - Stain Striker Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is a pretty spiffy and handy cleaning workhorse. The unit comes with three (3) head attachments: 1 - large attachment with rubber scrubber, 1 - crevice tool for tight spots, and 1 - medium attachment that has a bristle brush for scrubbing fabric. The unit is small and will not take up a lot of space which is a plus. The cord is pretty long which is needed on devices like this. The only big negative is that there is no caddy to hold the attachments that you are not using at the time. I see pieces getting lost very quickly. Spot cleaned several spots on upholstery on fabric on the pews at our church. Most came out very easily thanks to this handy device and its cleaning solutions. It comes with one bottle of concentrate and one bottle of detergent. Unit was easy to use. Emptying the dirty water container was also very easy. Will definitely be helping our fabric surfaces and upholstery looking its best. Recommend this device.

If I'm perfectly honest, there isn't much that separates this from other spot cleaners. But there are some areas where it excels, enough where I'm happy to replace my old spot cleaner with it. So, like typical spot cleaners, it has a clean water tank with detergent, that has a water fill line that you fill to, then a detergent fill line that you top off the water with. This tank is quiet large and I've cleaned a few small pet messes with this already and I don't think the tank is even half-empty yet. But, also I haven't needed to use a whole lot of the water to clean the messes, because the detergent mix seems to work really well. The dirty water tank is also generous, but if you've ever used a vac or mop, you never leave dirty water in the dirty water tank. That is a mistake you only make once. Mercifully, Shark has made this dirty water tank easy to clean, which is one of the areas this excels. My old cleaner the tank was an odd shape, and getting all the corners of the tank rinsed was nearly impossible, meaning it quickly developed odors. This tank is fairly squared off, and the whole top comes off, making it easy to access all corners and clean it out. The lid also needs rinsing and is a bit harder to get a good rinse, but I'm hoping it doesn't collect dirt and debris as easily. This comes with 2 brush attachments. The smaller one you can flip the bristle brush around in favor of silicon teeth, which are stiffer and also better at picking up animal hair. The larger attachment has only the silicon teeth, but it also has its own dirty water tank. The instructions tell you to use this for pet messes (i.e. the really nasty stinky ones) so you can confine the extra gross water to the small dirty water tank. Both brushes snap onto the hose which has the trigger for the clean water spray. The spray sprays straight down, and not toward the brush, and has a pretty soaking and wide spray. The handle also includes a guide on the pattern you should follow for wet and dry messes. I usually just did my own thing. Both brushes also allow you to snap off the top of it to clean out the interior of the brush. Something you should do after every cleaning. You can also use this with no brushes, as the hose has its own small bristle brush on the end for getting into small and tight areas. This is a nice feature to have. Sucking/drying the fabric seemed to be about typical performance for a machine like this. When you're done, whatever you were cleaning will still be damp, just not soaking wet. The final thing to note is the "Oxy Multiplier" solution/tank. This is a separate small tank that sits next to the clean water tank and mixes in automatically. When cleaning my off-white rug, at first I thought it might be bleaching it, but the rug was actually that dirty, so I'd say it works really well!!

An excellent product for the home and the car. Without a doubt, I would buy it again for my family.

Easy to use. Cleans fairly well but not perfectly. My expectations may have been too high and the stains too ingrained....

Good cleaner and i really like all the attachments it came with

Y’all wouldnt keep it in stock had to buy it elsewhere else . Waxahachie it terrible when it comes to keeping on sale items in stock
