Shark - CarpetXpert HairPro Pet with StainStriker, Corded Upright Deep Carpet, Rug & Upholstery Cleaner, Pet Stain Remover - Gray

The product cleans amazingly. We have two pets in the home, so cleaning can be tricky. Used it on a rug that we hadn’t been able to clean since our old Brissell was broken, with the two dogs it got pretty disgusting. With a few passes the rug was visibly much cleaner. This product allows the rug to dry quickly and doesn’t seep through to my flooring. The only con is having to constantly empty the dirty bin and add water and cleaner. I keep a mop bucket next to my rug to empty and continue which seems to help save time.

I purchased the Shark Carpet Cleaner to replace my Bissell Pet Steam Carpet Cleaner that I have owned for more than 10 years. Our household consists of two adults and three furbabies. We have a 165 lbs Alaskan Malamute and a 90lbs Siberian Husky & a 45lbs Siberian Husky. Our furbabies are 13yr old Siberian Husky who has doggy pain in his hind legs. He is on pain medication but at times we can't stand on his own. Why am I telling you this....because my furbaby is very elderly in doggy years. In the last 8 weeks, he has fecal incontinence. His nody is confused about the hind leg/hip pain and when/if his bowels need to evacuate. Some background on the humans, i have a herniated disc with sciatica in my back. This causes pain daily so when i chose devices that require frequent use, i must chose well as to not further aggravate my injury. As to the Shark Carpet cleaner: the actual device is 3asy to pull from the box, follow the set up guide and have a functional device in less than 10minutes. There are three accessory pieces meant to battle embedded dog/human hair, liquid/wet messes, and one for small messes of which you can fill with cleaner instead of the large solution reserve on the device. The carpet deep cleaner is light weight, especially when compared to my older brands. I am able to run it in the same fashion as i woukd while using my Shark Vacuums. The head of the Vacuum pivots the same multidirectional feature as the vacuums. The water reserve has a fill line for concentrated cleaner solution then another line which guides the cleaner solution. I appreciate this feature so i do not over or under dilute the cleaner solution. There is a small tank on the front for the Oxy boost solution. The tank on the bottom is for dirty water. Both tanks are not large enough to cause any aggrevation to my back injury. This model has the silicone brushes on the base head. These are amazing in the fact that you are not digging doggy or human hair out if the bottom of the deep cleaner. There is a dry run mode, meant to be used after the deep cleaning mode has been ran. When the dry mode is used after the deep cleaning mode, it allows the user to extra more water/cleaning solution from the carpets. I have used this deep cleaner on my carpet and my area rugs, it cleans equally on both. I was shocked by the ease of use, the light weight, and appropriately sized tanks on the cleaner. I would certainly recommend this device to families with children or furbabies!

After seeing how well my CarpetXpert worked at home, I recommended that my dad buy a carpet cleaner instead of throwing away his area rug, which would have cost $300–$500 to replace. His rug was in very bad shape — heavily soiled and honestly embarrassing. I cleaned just one section of the rug to show him what the machine could do and sent him a picture. He was completely amazed by the difference. The contrast between the cleaned area and the untouched area said it all. The HairPro Pet version is powerful and pulled deep dirt, grime, and pet-related messes out of the rug. It restored life back into something he was ready to discard. The built-in spot remover made treating the worst areas easy and effective. This machine didn’t just clean — it saved money and restored value. I’m very happy with both products and would absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with pet messes, high-traffic rugs, or considering replacement instead of cleaning.

Let me tell you… the carpets I cleaned probably haven’t been cleaned other than vacuumed for over 40 years (this is not an exaggeration). I can not afford new carpets right now so I thought I’d try this out. It has exceeded my expectations! With only one cleaning they look almost new! The texture and liveliness of fresh carpet has came back! I will say that due to the dirtiness of it I had to empty the dirty water/hair container often though I had to do 3 times in a smaller room for reference. Make sure you dedicate plenty of time to this task just FYI. Also just go ahead and order a few more cleaning supplies especially ingredient 1 (it goes fast)! The instructions are horrible that come with it and online. So to save you some trouble (and time) when you turn on machine look for the “deep clean” and “dry only” options that you choose via the triple line button (you’re welcome for that). Anyways I do not do many reviews but I felt compelled to write this one because I know I am asking a lot out of this machine. So far it has delivered! I will update if the machine goes South on me. Happy cleaning!

So the vacuum itself is amazing. It definitely sucks and not in a bad way. The hose part though is just for looks, it doesn’t actually work. On either replacements I got. That is really the only design flaw. I rarely use the hose functions on anything, but if it is a deal breaker, this isn’t for you. Also comes wity a tray you can set the vacuum on. Not bad from preventing it to stain the floor by sitting idle.
