Customer Ratings & Reviews

Assembly for the Shark StainStriker HairPro Pet was quick and straightforward, and I immediately appreciated how lightweight and compact it is. It’s easy to store, though I do wish there was a better place to keep the extra heads. The real test came when I used it on an old pet urine stain in my daughter’s room. We had cleaned the spot by hand with the usual pet products, but a brown stain stuck around for months. After just one use of the StainStriker, the stain was noticeably better. While it wasn’t completely gone after the first pass, the improvement was impressive, especially considering how long the stain had been there. With another pass or two, I’m confident it will be gone for good. The two-tank system works well enough, but because it’s a portable unit, you end up filling the whole thing even for small jobs, which wastes a lot of cleaner. And that stuff isn’t cheap! I did really like how the pet hair tool has a separate tank for collecting hair before it reaches the dirty water tank, keeping things clog-free. Overall, the Shark StainStriker HairPro Pet is easy to use, effective, and ideal for small jobs. If you’ve got pets (or messy babies) and need a reliable stain remover, this is a great option to consider!

My Shark Stainstriker came well packed and completly intact. I'm happy to say no Styrofoam was used in the packaging just corrugated cardboard. I'm usually not prone to reading the directions, however this unit isn’t very intuitive, so I did go picture by picture to set it up. It was very easy and I was abouth the business of cleaning in no time. First the unit is very compact for spot cleaning carpets or area rugs. It is lightweight and very easy to carry around. It does not have onboard storage for the three different tools that attach to the hose. As you can see by the attached picture, this cleaner does a great job of cleaning. This is a combination of two years of just vacuuming and a new puppy that is in the process of being house broken. I really like the fresh scent of the cleaners, I sprayed the water solution and let it set for a minute or so and then scubbed and vacuumed all at once. Initially I considered giving the unit 4 stars, however it should be more like 4.5, only because it leaves a lot more moisture in the rug than I'd prefer. Again, however, the picture of the dirty water speaks volumes

Attachments are great. Works well. A bit loud but not unbearable. Does a good job of cleaning up messes and general cleaning. Machine isn't intuitive but is easy once you get the hang of it. Good suction. Be careful with the attachments. They can be a bit difficult and the machine will leak if they are not just so. Overall, I am really happy with my purchase!

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!

I recently tried the Shark upholstery cleaner, and overall I’m very impressed with how well it performs. The unit is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and simple to set up. The suction power is strong, pulling dirt and debris out of fabric that I didn’t even realize was there. It works especially well on couches, car seats, and fabric chairs—leaving them looking noticeably fresher and cleaner. On the downside, the cord could be a little longer, and the water tank isn’t huge, so for larger jobs you’ll need to refill a couple of times. Also, it can be a bit noisy during use, but that’s expected with most compact cleaners.

Read a review how good this machine is and bought it. Sure glad I did. Small footprint and light. Multiple attachments for any cleaning need. Excellent suction. I've owned 3 Little Green Machines, which were good. But they kept breaking/leaking. Very impressed with this Shark's cleaning ability and the self-cleaning function built in.

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 really liked this vacuum. It’s very lightweight, has a self-cleaning feature, and is easy to understand and use. It removes stains very well.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We purchased the Shark StainStriker HairPro primarily because we have a pet and wanted something that could handle both stains and embedded hair without dragging out a full-size carpet cleaner. After several uses, we’re extremely impressed. The biggest surprise was how well it removed pet hair from upholstery and area rugs while cleaning at the same time. The suction is much stronger than expected from a portable unit, and it pulled up dirt and hair that I didn’t even realize was there. I’ve used it on carpet, an area rug, a fabric chair, and the interior of my vehicle with excellent results. A recent pet accident on an area rug came out completely, including the odor. The cleaning solution combination worked quickly, and the rug dried faster than I anticipated. I also appreciate that the dirty water tank lets you see exactly what it’s removing. Pros: * Excellent stain removal * Strong suction for a portable machine * Removes pet hair surprisingly well * Easy-to-fill clean water tank * Compact enough to store without taking up much space * Great for upholstery, rugs, stairs, and vehicles Cons: * The hose could be slightly longer for larger rooms * It can be a little noisy, but no more than expected for the suction power Overall, this has become one of my favorite cleaning tools. It’s much easier than hauling out a full-size carpet cleaner for small messes, and it does an outstanding job on pet stains, odors, and hair. If you have pets, kids, or frequently clean vehicle interiors, this machine is absolutely worth having on hand.

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.

Loved! I love the easy accessibility between the interchangable brushes, and ease of cleaning them. Whether cleaning the brushes by taking them apart or by the direct cleaning on the machine, it makes it a breeze. I would absolutely recommend to friends and family.

This is a perfect little carpet cleaner and user friendly. I love that it has a self clean mode to clean out the clear hose. It’s great to clean up pet messes. I just spray a spot cleaner on the area and let it sit for 5-10 minutes then clean it up with the Shark! Easy!

Didn’t think something so small would do such a good job! Got this cleaner for my area rug and couch and since I don’t have space for a huge carpet cleaner I figured this one would do the job. It works AMAZING!!! Made my rug and couch look brand new!

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.
