Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have an older dog and a puppy - both have accidents. The old cleaner wasn't cutting it for us. We purchased the StainStriker and love it. Cleaning: of course puppies will have accidents, the stain striker has cleaned every accident without leaving a trace (other than a damp spot for a while, more on this later. Both dogs track in mud from the yard, and this unit has cleaned mud, dog messes, old dog vomit, and other messes quickly. it's light weight, cleaning solution and water are in separate compartments in the tank, which makes the StainStriker ready to use at a moment's notice. This unit has a hose/nozzle cleaning port which is great, no real need to rinse in places you don't want pet messes to mix with, and keeps the odors away. Suction - the suction is stronger compared to another top 3 device. The carpet will always be damp after cleaning; however, the StainStriker appears to extract more fluid than others and spots dry much faster. easy to fill, empty, clean and use. My only suggestion is, i wish the cord was longer!

Easy to use does a good job for small cleanup jobs. Cleanup of the Shark cleaner is fairly simple. Unit is very portable and small size makes for convenient storage.

This small machine gets the job done. I love that it comes with extra attachments and is easy to use and clean up. Shark never disappoints me.

Compact and lightweight. Easy to use. Gave new life to my furniture. Good for overall cleaning, not just spots.

I love this cleaner. It is small and light. It is so easy to use and best of all it cleans better than all the other cleaners I have used. I just used it to deep clean cushions that were stained and left outside. They seriously look brand new. I can't say enough how much I love this cleaner.

I love how compact, portable, and powerful this vacuum cleaner is. Compared to other similar products, this has more tools and love the fact that it is self cleaning.

Really good portable machine. Great suction too. I use Zep pro carpet cleaner instead of the overpriced branded cleaner and don’t bother with the secondary solution tank (at least now). Parts are easy to clean and the self clean works better than I thought. I do wish the power cord was a bit longer, but at least now I don’t have to get the big machine out to do stairs, vehicles or couches. I use this to clean up cat vomit. I will likely buy a full size shark carpet cleaner if my Bissel stops working.

Works amazing. Our dog has an accident ALL over my beige rug. Scrubbing with carpet shampoo, vinegar, and baking soda still left behind patches of yellow everywhere. I purchased the Shark immediately and went to work. It cleaned up my carpet like new. It’s got a strong suction and many attachments that make it easy to break up any messes. I would definitely recommend this to anymore with small children or pets, it comes in handy more than I thought it would!

This handheld shampooer is fantastic. It’s super lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around and use without feeling like a workout. The attachments switch out easily, so I can move from one surface to another without hassle. Best of all. It doesn’t leak, which has been an issue for me with other machines in the past. Overall, it’s very user-friendly, powerful for its size, and I’m really happy with this purchase.

Great product, very intuitive. This allowed us to keep an ailing dog in the house for much longer than we thought we could manage, allowing us many more months to say goodbye. Very easy to clean machine. One attachment helps with our pukey other dog, because you don’t even need to suck the vomit into the main hose, it captures it in a separate canister. Only issue? It cleans the carpet TOO well. So we have random CLEAN carpet stains in our house now! I might neee to buy their upright too, so I can tackle the whole house! I’m very sensitive to odors, but the cleaning agent included is pleasant.

5 stars! It does its job plenty. Dont go for the bissel that overruns the shelves. This thing is user friendly, easy to clean, soap smells great, cleans any stain like a beast! I have 2 toddlers and 2 old dogs. Believe me, theres a lot of mess in this house. This thing puts in overtime.

Amazing! I’ve used the BISSELL Carpet Cleaner and this one I feel has so much stronger suction, the steam scrub cleans so easily. I love it!

This little carpet cleaner is so well designed to not get all nasty when you have to use it on pet messes. Everything that comes into contact with the nasty mess and the gross water that gets sucked up is designed for easy removal and clean up. The rubber brushes handle the hair better. The one attachment with it's own little tank captures the really nasty stuff before it can even go through the rest of the system and the dirty water tank doesn't have any unreachable spot for grime to build up. Also, I used the cleaning product that it included along with the 'oxygen booster' and it erased our most recent stains from a sick dog way better than I can remember from all the other carpet cleaners and spot bots that we've owned and had to throw away because they just get gross in unreachable spots. This Shark StainStriker still looks brand new after I tried 'striking' 2 or 3 stains without using a whole roll of paper towels to pre clean the stain. Maybe that's been the problem. Maybe we've been pressing the stain into the carpet by trying to pick some of it up with paper towels before using the carpet cleaner. All I know is I can't remember seeing a pet stain erase like that. It was impressive.

It’s one of the best investments I have purchased. It is powerful , the different attachments are a bonus. The solutions are great smelling and does the job. It get the dirt, and stains out with ease. The best thing is it does not take much room when you store it away.

Watched the video and followed directions. Efficient and easy to use. Quick drying time. Easy to clean.

Had to replace other brand small cleaner when it stopped spraying. This one has lots of additional fittings for many types of cleaning jobs which is a plus with pets and children. Another plus was the ease of the self cleaning function. Took just minutes to learn to use. Did a great job with the stains we had! Hope it lasts longer than the other brand!

Over all this is a great portable carpet cleaner. Has done well getting up spots and messes made by kids and pets. If you don't need a lot of suction the self contained attachments is nice to slow for easier cleaning and the hair catch attachment works pretty well to keep pet hair out of the main unit and hose. Has good suction for a portable unit and the attachments do add a good amount of flexibility. Time will tell how long the unit as a whole will last.

Its easy to use, and to clean. I've used it multiple now. I love its features, I accidentally didn't attach the dirty water container correctly and the machine wouldnt start, (I thought I broke it for a sec) Saved me from causing even a bigger mess. Highly recommend, if you can get it on sale, I would say go for it!

Exactly what we needed for taking care of all the "accidents" of our furbaby. This is perfect, easy to use and effective.

This thingworks great! First use was cleaning the suv seats, covered in dog hair and car seat throw aways from the 1 year old. Looks as good as new. Spot cleaned the living room carpet with it too. Glad we bought it. Small size makes it very convenient to use
