CarpetXpert Deep Clean Carpet Cleaner, 2.3L. 960W, Grey, EX150UKCP

Bought this Shark carpet cleaner in the 2024 Black Friday sales. Got it out to test it worked but never used it up until now, life just took over with one thing and another. Decided this week to get it out and give the carpets a good clean as they were looking grubby. Not disappointed at all by the performance of this cleaner not by the ease of use. It operates on 2 modes. Deep clean and dry only. Operation is simple. Push the power button and recline the handle and you're good to go in 'deep clean' mode. Press the mode button and switch to 'dry only' to get the carpet as dry as possible. You can see when the water stops being sucked up. Really easy. I used the hand tool a couple of times of stubborn stains. It's a case of unclip it from the cleaner, flip the paddle on the side to handle mode and it's a simple trigger spray and manual scrub or suction. Simple. Follow the opposite to continue using in carpet clean mode. Filling the water tank is simple too. Fill water to the line and top with solution. I've only used Sharks as they say using others voids the warranty but their solution is good and smells nice. Emptying the dirty tank is really simple. Easiky pops off the cleaner, pull of the lid and pour down the loo. Yuk but satisfying. Once finished I gave the whole cleaner a clean which was a simple rinse in the sink. The top of the section where the brush roller is pops off so you can clean and remove debris from it, gave it a wipe then a dry with some kitchen roll and it's now ready for the next clean. If I was to say there was a downside, it is the size of the tanks. They are pretty small and I found myself filling the water and emptying the dirty tank often though I did clean my lounger diner, game room / office and a very long l shaped hallway in one go. This was a small price to pay for the ease of use. It's so much lighter than other cleaners I've used and honestly felt like operating a Shark lift away hoover at times. There are now more advanced Shark cleaner models on the market since I bought this but if you're looking at this model I would highly recommend it. Will definitely stick with this brand now.

This Shark CarpetXpert deep cleaner does exactly what it is supposed to do. So far I have cleaned a lounge, stairs, landing and 3 wool rugs! Very impressed and highly recommended! Very easy to use and the cleaning product that comes with it smells amazing. It has two modes, deep clean and drying, easy to switch between the two modes. The drying mode does not actually dry it completely but it does suck up any residual water very well. A couple of hours with windows, doors open on a sunny day and carpets and rugs completely dry in a few hours. Brings the pile up on the carpet/rugs mine look like new! Finally, the high volume traffic areas where everybody walks on the carpet have also disappeared again like new carpet!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m really impressed with the Shark Expert Carpet Cleaner! It’s powerful, easy to use, and leaves my carpets looking and smelling fresh every time. I wasn’t expecting such a big difference, but after just one use, I could actually see how much dirt it pulled out — even from areas that didn’t look that bad! The suction is excellent, and it doesn’t leave the carpet overly wet like some other machines I’ve tried. It dries quickly, which is a huge plus. The cleaner is also surprisingly lightweight and easy to maneuver, even when full of water. The design is well thought out — the tanks are simple to fill and empty, and the attachments make cleaning stairs and upholstery super convenient. I also love how easy it is to clean the machine itself afterward. The roller brushes and nozzles come off easily, so there’s no buildup or lingering smell. It feels like a high-end appliance that’s made to last, and the results are definitely professional-level for home use. If you have pets, kids, or just want to give your carpets a deep refresh, this is 100% worth it. Shark has done an amazing job — it’s one of the best cleaning purchases I’ve made!

This was purchased after finding the Shark vacuum to be absolutely amazing and pulling dirt from the 40s from my under carpet floorboards, and with the carpet cleaner being on offer with £100 off, I had no choice really. My carpets in my rented accommodation are at least 20 years old, with the previous tenant never walking her 2 dogs. I've used a few carpet cleaners, Vax just made the carpets wet without leaning them, and I thought that my beast of a Bissell was doing a good job, it pulled up a lot of dirt, but then I tried this one. Half the size/bulk of my beast, though still pretty heavy to carry. First test was on my landing, some heavy traffic staining and coffee stains at the top of the stairs had been eyeing me for a while. With the beast, it would take between 2 and 3 hours. Sharky here did it in 40 minutes with a visible impression from the off. My carpet is 3 shades lighter in a fraction of the time. The detergent has a pleasant smell that lasted around 9 hours before nose-blindness kicked in. It seems to use less water, so the smaller water tanks wasn't an issue, though the dirty tank needed emptying halfway through. It pulls itself forward, taking half of the work out of it. I found that using deep clean mode to douse an area before switching to dry mode to go over it worked for me. Just remember to switch modes if you empty the tank in dry mode, it'll switch back to deep clean when yiu turn it back on. This has cut my carpet cleaning time by around 75%, and you can't argue with the results. The tanks are very easy to remove, even with arthritic hands, and a doddle to clean, especially when compared to the bag in bag type that I had previously. As it's half the size, it looks very sleek in comparison to the beast, and the sage green is actually a pleasant colour. Shark does other items in the same colour, which has kept my wife happy. If this machine lasts, then I'll be very happy. I'll update my review if it dies on me.

I bought this as I live in rented accommodation, and the carpets were ugly and probably needed a clean when I moved in, but at the time I was stressed and also stoned a lot. I'm no longer stoned, ever. Anyway - on the first use, I could see a notable difference and the state of the dirty water indicated the carpets were last cleaned in 1982. The ugly carpets I've gotten to are still ugly, but now they're clean and it's a big improvement. I also have an oriental area rug that had gotten a lot of dust in it, no regular vaccum or hand shampoo could really get rid of that. That carpet was pretty and now she's back to being a stunner. So, performance wise, I'm happy. Another pro is the "dry only" mode. You can really reduce your drying time, it works very well. Not too tricky to assemble - I do suggest actually looking at the instructions. (I did). Cons - the water and shampoo compartment is pretty small. This carpet cleaner works by spraying the cleaner/water mix on each forward pass and extracting only on the reverse pass, whilst a brush spins constantly. So, depending on how dirty the carpet is - how many forward passes you're doing, the liquid can run out quickly. In my case, I had to refill it after about 2-2.5 square metres of carpet. Similarly, the dirty water container requires emptying when it's about half full. I ended up bringing a bucket into the room to empty it into rather than multiple trips to the bathroom. Taking it apart to clean isn't too tricky, but there is one part that doesn't come away from the body and I find a lot of dirt accumulates there, which is a bit more hassle to clean up. It is noisy. The plus side there is my cats stayed out of the way. Don't use it late at night if you live in an apartment or your neighbours will not be happy. I found that the cleaning water went exactly where it was supposed to go. There were no leaks or anything like that either. For the price I paid, I think this is good value for money. I got it at about €220. Final note - it's not in the instructions but I've read that it's actually important to follow up the washing with rinsing - putting only clean, warm water in the dispenser and doing some passes. Apparently, otherwise you're leaving shampoo on the carpet and this may end up *attracting dirt ". Either way, I did this and it was obvious it helped continue the cleaning, as the water extracted was still pretty manky. OK, I lied, one more final note - I don't find it too heavy, but it's not lightweight per se. I'm 59 without any serious physical issues. It's not too bulky either - I expected it to be worse tbh. I don't think any efficient deep cleaner is going to be small. I'm happy with the purchase.

Bought this after reading quite a few reviews and a lot of research on which brand was better for me between vax and shark, I do believe I’ve just found my new favourite brand. This carpet cleaner is amazing, it was very easy to use, the water capacity could be slightly bigger as filling it once did only one room. The size is pretty much your standard sized vacuum which I’m so happy with, being pregnant this made it easier and I didn’t find it too heavy but does have a little weight behind it. The suction is very good, the drying setting helped dry my carpet within literal minutes. I’m more than happy to have paid the price I did for this product so the value for money I can not argue with. I have no ordered myself a brand new hoover from the same brand again based off some very good reviews. If you get chance buy one. Couldn’t be more happier with my purchase!

Really cleaned my old dirty carpet so well, this type of machine should be in everyone’s house who has carpet. This was very easy to use, value for money, cleans excellently and for sure if this broke ( it hasn’t) I would buy again, because I can see the difference it has made. It made old carpets look brand new. Definitely one of my top buys.

This is amazing ! Mine got delivered yesterday and used it today done the hallway and going to do the living room next .. it’s worth every penny I got it in the sale but I would gladly pay full price for it too . It really does deep clean the solution it comes with smells amazing and I love the fact it has a dry mode too. Dirty Water tank needs to be emptied a lot but it’s not a big deal for me . It got some stubborn stains out too without using the stain wand ! have recommended to family .
