Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Shark StainForce cordless cleaner is great. It is portable and rechargeable. There are two detachable heads. One with a brush so you can scrub stains off carpet. If you flip it over, there are fins for delicate surfaces. Another is a crevice tool for touch to reach areas. The brush is removable also. It is easy to put together. There are three main pieces. The handle, the body (dirty water tank), and the tip. It comes with a stain remover solution. I was curious to see how much it would cost. You can get a two pack from Best Buy for $25, not bad. The solution actually works well with the cleaner. I did not have any stained carpet. However, I do have a mat where my stationary exercise bike sits on and there are some areas that need cleaning. It works well. After a couple of passes with the fin side of the brush, it cleaned the areas up. The caddy is cool too. It keeps everything together. The holder for the dirty water tank also serves as the tool to clean it. You fill it up with water and turn the cleaner on. It will suck up the clean water and spin it around the tank to help clean it. This cleaner is a spot cleaner. It is not meant to room size carpet. I like this stain cleaner. It is a bit loud though. If you can get past how loud it can be, I think it’s great.

We usually rent a industrial carpet cleaner every few years to do all the carpets in our house, but wee have never really had anything for any spills that may happen in between those cleanings. I saw this small carpet cleaner and thought it would be perfect for us. Out of the box it appears to be a very well-made product. I have owned a few Shark vacuums in the past and have always been very impressed with them. Included in the box is literally everything you need to clean up small stains, including a plastic bin to carry everything in. Except for the charging cable, for some reason there is nowhere to store that onboard which is a little disappointing cause you know you are going to lose that charging cable! You get the cleaner itself, a couple different brush heads as well as the charging cable, the storage bucket, and also a small bottle of carpet cleaning solution. I have had a small grease stain on my carpet for a while that occurred when I was assembling a desk chair and some grease got on the carpet. I figured this would be a great way to test tis out. This stain has been there for over a year, so it’s a good dried in stain. They tell you to soak the entire area with the cleaner, then scrub it with the attachment on the end of the cleaner. Then turn the vacuum on to suck up all the water. Then repeat repeatedly if needed till the stain is gone. One thing I learned is that if you are going to soak an area with just the cleaner, you are going to go through a lot of cleaners. What I did was first soaked the area with a spray bottle with just water in it. Then I did a few sprays of the cleaner on top of that once it was already soaked through. Then I used the scrub brush and then sucked it up with the vacuum. So, that is a little tip you can use to save you a little money on refill bottles of cleaner. It took me 2 passes, but I am happy to say that the grease stain is now completely gone. You would not even know it was there. I also have an older recliner in my room that has never been cleaned, so I decided to give it a try on a little larger area. I did the same thing of soaking with water first and then spraying the cleaner on top of that. When I sucked up the water it was quite brown, so it did a very good job as an upholstery cleaner as well. Just be sure to test the solution on an inconspicuous spot to make sure its safe to use on your fabric. Cleaning out the unit is also very easy. There is a detailed guide that tells you just what to take apart, and what parts you can rinse under water to clean. Overall, it takes a few seconds to disassemble the unit. Then you just rinse everything out with water, then a few more seconds to put it back together and you are good to go till your next stain happens. Apart from the small gripe of not having anywhere to store the charging cable, this unit works very well and it is very small, convenient, and lightweight to use. I would think every household would want something like this for unexpected spills and cleaning!

Not for me #Preference #Choice never again but anyway I'm not

Do not recommend hated it great concept but not what I needed

This is a great solution to spot cleaning stains on couches, chairs, rugs etc. No longer do you need to lug out a giant carpet cleaning machine, add water and solution, and (sometimes) create an even bigger cleanup mess. This system does not require clean water to be used, except for cleaning the device itself. It only requires you spray the stain, and scrub then vacuum. Use: ok, so you find a stain you need to clean. Grab the handy dandy caddy and walk to the strain. Use the spray bottle to spray the stain, and let it soak for a minute. Then use the handheld vacuum and scrub, then vacuum up the mess. If the mess is wet before hand, just use the device to suck it all up, then spray and repeat the suction process. All done? Head to the sink, and use the handy "quick empty" lever and let the dirty liquid go into the sink. If you are completely finished, you can let the machine clean itself. Inside of the caddy, there is a removable tray that has a fill line. You fill that tray with water, set the machine inside of it, and turn it on until it sucks up all the water. Then you simply drain it again, and pull off the back to let it dry. Easy peasy. The vacuum itself is quite strong for something this size. It is not going to work for large stains, but it's not designed for that. The portability is where it comes in strong! My only gripe is the proprietary cleaner that is required for the spray bottle. While you technically don't have to use it (you could use any other liquid cleaner really), that is part of the convenience of all of this. Having a spray bottle with cleaner that works right there with it is the nice part. But, you are stuck buying the special cleaning refills that click into the spray head. All in all, I like this spot cleaner, and it works well!

I have a carpet cleaner but it doesn’t have the attachment on it so furniture, small spots and just sucking up spills on the carpet has never been an option for me. When I received this, I did need to charge it for a few hours but assembly was super simple and it even come with a nice little caddy to carry everything around. One small gripe I have about this is that it “says” it requires the Shark spray that come with it. To be clear, there is no fresh tank on this unit, it only sucks up and stores in a dirty tank so you need to spray with the included spray before sucking it up. I suppose you could probably use a carpet cleaning mixture in a spray bottle to save some money in the long run. The Shark mix works very well so far. I have cleaned bar stools, couch arms and even was able to get some chocolate melted in my suede sheets in my car from my kids eating in the back seat. The suction is every bit as strong as a plug-in machine and after cleaning all those things it’s still running strong on the original charge. Overall, very impressed with the power and the portability.

I am a big fan of Shark products, owning 5 of their cordless vacuums. This may be their coolest product yet. This unit is very light weight and easy to use for quick clean ups. The Shark StainForce is rechargeable so no need to plug it in like many of the heavier cleaners out there. It comes with a caddy to store the unit as well as the additional attachment for small spaces like crevices and the cleaning solution. The unit comes with the motor head that needs to be charged before using and then there is the cleaning section that is used to scrub and suction the solution from the carpet stain. Basically, you spray the cleaning solution on the stain and then tilt the head down to scrub the stain and then lift up slightly with the unit on to suck up the solution and remove the stain. This may take multiple applications of the cleaning solution. Once the stain is gone you can easily empty the unit. I had a couple of minor stains that took a couple of applications of the solution to get out. The collection section comes apart to clean all of the internal parts. In the storage caddy where the unit sits is a removable cubby that you fill with some water and then set the unit into and turn it on and the unit sucks up the water to clean it all the internal parts. This works really well. I don’t often get stains on my carpet so having a heavy corded cleaner isn’t something I really need. This is the perfect solution for my needs. It’s light weight and super portable and does a great job. A couple of things to consider. The charger is proprietary to Shark so don’t lose it. It would be nice if they had used a USB-C type charger. I am always trying to make sure I have the right charger for each of the vacuums I have as they are all different. The other thing is how loud this is. I measured 80 decibels when operating. Since you probably won’t be using it for extended periods this may not be an issue, but it is loud. Other than these minor issues the Shark StainForce works great and if you just need occasional stain removal this is the perfect solution.

This Shark StainForce is an incredibly handy household tool. We have a larger full-size carpet cleaner, but that’s really overkill for small stains. With this it’s easy to have ready to go for spills & stains. And with a dog & two cats that happens pretty often around here. Having it all tucked together with the carrying bin is great. The two-in-one cleaning solution is a nice design. Just pop the spray handle on and both solutions are ready to go. I like this design much better than most spot cleaners that require you to mix the solution in the cleaner with water. With this, just spray the stain, scrub, and then suck it up. Simple yet effective. The cleaner itself is super easy to use. The built in battery recharges quickly. The ergonomics of the handle are nice. I really like the way you empty it. No need to take it all apart to empty. One simple hard plastic flap to open and let it drain out. The tank capacity isn’t really that big, but with it only being designed for spot cleaning it’s more than big enough. I can highly recommend this spot cleaner and with it being a Shark I don’t doubt it’s made to last.

When I received the Shark StainForce cordless portable spot and stain cleaner, I was looking forward to using it for various applications, including accidental spills, kid messes, and pet stains. The packaging was great, and the included instructions were incredibly useful. I enjoy the caddy and how little space it all takes up, and the cleaner itself isn't too loud either. Unfortunately, that's where it stops being good. I gave this a stress test, working to clean up a pet stain that had happened on carpet just before receiving it. It required the entire bottle of chemical to mostly clear it up, so now I have none to continue using it until I purchase a pricey refill. It still required the use of my more heavy duty floor cleaner which picked up liquid that remained in the carpet that the StainForce did not get. The charge lasts for maybe 15-20 minutes at a full charge before it needs charged it again. This can take up to four hours in order to get a full charge. This may not be an issue for most small issues, but in my experience, it was a problem, because it refuses to run while plugged in. I'm unsure why this was the idea that SharkNinja went with, but here we are. If you only have an occasional small accident and no pets, this may be something to consider. It's easy to store, takes up little space, and is easy to clean and maintain. If this is not you, I would probably keep looking for something else.

it is a great product and I really enjoyed it. I love the compatibility of the item.
