Customer Ratings & Reviews

After reading and re-reading the instructions, I assembled the cleaner, filled the tanks, and tried it out on my car seats. The side where coffee had spilled cleaned up well. The other side, with spilled cola didn't clean up as well. I'm going to try doing that side a second time. I used hot water from the faucet; the cleaner doesn't heat the water. There were no instructions about what to do with the fluids remaining in the two tanks so I just left hem in the tanks. The cord is long enough to allow you to get the cleaner close to your upholstery and the suction/ fluid tube is also long enough to allow for working in tight spaces. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase and not as happy with the grade "B" instructions.

I have two dogs, a foster dog, am a dog sitter, and prefer carpet floor. The carpet is professionally cleaned multiple times per year but we still have stubborn or particularly gross stains in between. This thing is a lifesaver!! I honestly thought I needed to buy new carpet since the stains were so stubborn. This is easy to use and it's effective. We also have a Shark vacuum that is great.

Nice, compact product, does not take too much space, cleans very well, would recommend to friends and family

The StainStriker Portable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner is compact but very powerful. It removes stains quickly from carpets, upholstery, and car seats without soaking the fabric. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and simple to clean afterward. Perfect for quick messes and small spaces. I’m very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.

Really easy to use. It cleans well easy to carry around.

This machine is a blessing.I have no regrets absolutely none .easy to assemble works great the best I ever owned. Try it I am sure you will be glad you did.it light weight a cleans amazingly!!!!

The Shark StainStriker has been a lifesaver for spills — easy to handle, quick drying, and really gets the job done!

It’s a great little stain vacuum and super convenient. It is definitely useful for quick cleanups and old soiled carpet. If thinking more for automotive and frequent usage, I would look for a more dedicated product for two reasons: 1) the design of the wand attachment 2) the collecting bin size The water tank to the concentrate line holds 26oz. However, the collecting bin is only about 10oz. That compartment houses the float for the auto shutoff and that takes up quite a bit of space, so it fills up a lot quicker. I was still able to clean about 5 stains before it filled up. The picture shows how much is used until it hits the shut-off. The wand attachment…this is a two-fold issue as the 7” Tool (not sure where they get that measurement from) snaps on to the handle, but also has the clear piece on the top where the liquid is extracted, it is removable. This is nice for cleaning the tool, but during use it wants to snap off, so you have to apply extra pressure on top of the tool when pushing into the fabric being cleaned. This is also needed as the tool wants to pop off at the attach point to the wand. You have to push down pretty good to get the proper extraction or you will leave too much liquid in the carpet/upholstery. My two test use cases were recently dried wall paint in carpet and in my vehicle. For the vehicle less than 24 hours old DollyWood Sweet Bread oil/sugar grease in the vehicle upholstery and then some mystery stain on passenger seat at shoulder for more than 2 years (failed to get before pic on this one) Dried Paint in Carpet = barely fail Vehicle Oil/Sugar grease =barely fail Vehicle Mystery Stain = WIN! I used both included solutions to clean in all of the tests. Both of the barely fails really just need a more powerful scrubber and maybe even less dilution of the cleaning concentrate and actual powered brush and I figured this would be the case. But it did clean some of it, so that is why it wasn’t a total fail. The included rubber attachment scrubber while nice is best for simply cleaning that has not yet had the opportunity to dry or stain yet. I did not use the scrubber on the mystery stain as I could see that just wetting the affected areas already began to dilute whatever the stain was. I am definitely satisfied with the product, but if you are thinking of auto-detailing on a consistent basis and more than your household fleet, I would look for a more dedicated product. The included pet attachment for collecting “liquids” that come out of them I have not had the opportunity (thankfully) to use yet. The only issue I see with this is like most devices that come with a good amount of accessories, is where to store it? The vaccum itself is not very big, but there is not a place on the device to attach the Pet Attachment or the hose cleaning attachment, which you definitely don’t want to use as it makes cleaning the vacuum hose very easy. The hose storage is also quite tight. My guess is the same instrument they used to measure the 7” Tool was used to measure the circumference of the device and/or the length of the vacuum hose, as it is about 3in too short and makes sliding the Wand Tool on to the latch when storing away very tight. There are definitely a few things I think version 2.0 could improve on, but as-is it will definitely get the job done based off the Info-mercial of a box and its claims. I can definitely recommend it and I definitely plan on using it to now clean the spilled Dr.P in my truck as well as finishing the DollyWood gooey sauce. I did dock a couple stars for the issues with the wand attachments, short hose/design, and the collecting tank being so small.

Absolutely Love this product. Very effective. Spots and stains on my carpets disappear with minimum effort. This is a must buy

Great compact and strong portable carpet cleaner. Very strong suction and good cleaning solution sprayer. It did not come with the wand cleaning attachment so need to run clean water through the suction hose to clean. Due to compact size the tanks have a small capacity and suitable for smaller cleanup jobs.

I really admire my shark cleaner. Very simple, easy, and really does the job. My family has asks multiple times to use it because they say it’s better than the bissell one.!!!

Highly recommend it, very easy to use and removed stubborn stains from 6 years in less than 10 minutes! I used it for my game room couches and they look like new! We have 3 kids under 10 so you can imagine how messy it was with markers, drinks, ice cream stains.

I like it a lot portable and does a perfect job!!!!

This little cleaner is amazing! I’ve used it on my white rugs to get out grime from my pups! My son also used it on a car he is working on cleaning up! All the interior is now fresh and looks great! It is easy to clean and store also when you are finished.

Great for quick small clean ups. Easy to fill cleaner compartments.

I was kind of skeptical but after the first cleaning, my couch looks great.

This thing has been very handy with a toddler at home! Little bit of a learning curve for using it most effectively. At first I had a leak in one of the nozzles, but I think it was a user error. I haven’t had that issue since the first time switching out the nozzle handles. Great item, light weight. Has worked great so far on rugs, carpet, couches and cloth chairs.

We are hook to shark products for our home and everything we get works wonders. Loved this vacuum! Its easy to use and weights nothing. We have two dogs and this helps maintain our sofas clean and fresh!

I love this machine it worked amazing on my furniture.

Helps clean up dog mess and spills and hairs fork couch and any upholstery.
