Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Upright Carpet, Area Rug & Upholstery Cleaner with Spot & Stain Remover, Perfect for Pets, Carpet Shampooer, 2 Cleaning Tools, Pet Cleaning Solution, Cobalt, EX251BRN

My Bissell carpet cleaner just broke so I bought this during prime days.I have a long haired cat who mainly occupies the downstairs of my house which is all carpet. He on occasion hacks up hairballs and what not or will run his butt along the carpet if his you-know-what is in his fur. Sometimes my 1yr old will spill the cats water or the cats wet cat food has splattered for whatever reason. So I always have a shampooer in my house and have always shampooed my carpets in general.So far It’s done very well the few times I’ve used it. Its cleaned any stains up even old ones I couldn’t get up in the past. I haven’t had to pretreat, where with my bissel I would have to. It’s very light and easy to maneuver around. My last two carpet cleaners,Hoover and Bissell, were bulkyMy favorite is the hose/spot cleaner attachment is all there and ready to go. My last two were separate, so you had to go get the hose and hook it up and take it off, which was not convenient imo. I also like that it has a dry only option so you can really make sure your carpet is dry. Which brings me to the suction, it’s strong. My Bissel was not as good.I like the hair collector basket in the dirty water canister. It’s easy to remove the canisters for tossing out the dirty water, and cleaning it, or refilling cleaner canister. It is sort of loud, not any louder than the other carpet cleaners I’ve had but I don’t really care about that personally.Overall I’m pleased with this purchase it’s, kind of expensive but it works exceptionally well. I feel it’s worth it with the results I’ve gotten and ease of use. Plus it will last along time.

Reviewing this item because although the listing says it works on all carpets, there wasn't specific information re: shag rugs. The purchase was a gamble definitely paid off.We love our 9' x 12' light-colored shag area rug. So does our 40 lb black collie-husky mix. When it was time for a deep clean we started looking at Bissell and ultimately decided on the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro with StainStriker, EX301. One of the features mentioned in the reviews that appealed to us was the removal of pet hair, which undoubtedly was embedded in our carpet fibers even though we regularly bathe & brush the dog, and vacuum the rug with a Dyson Animal upright vacuum. We also liked hearing about it's great suction, a brushroll that doesn't get tangled, the dry only mode, the 4 attachments, and self-cleaning mode.We did get a "Brushroll Jam" warning when we first began. It took a little time to find the right technique but soon figured it out. After we went over the rug once, the carpet pile was fluffed up and there were no more jam warnings. Attached are photos of the rug & most impressively, the amount of hair that was collected in the filter when we were finished.Now that the carpet has dried, there are a couple areas where the dog lays every day that need a little more attention. We'll spot clean these using a handtool in the StainStriker mode (combining 2 cleaning agents) and finish up with one more overall shampoo.Cleanup is simple and re-assembly is a breeze. This product blew us away, and we highly recommend it.On a final note, we followed the advice in another review and used only 1 tablespoon of the Deep Clean liquid instead of the recommended amount.

Shark CarpetXpert Hair Pro - This is the most well designed carpet shampooer I have ever used. Aside from that, it performs incredibly well! I love the Shark vacuums and decided to give them a try for a shampooer. It had been several months since my carpet was last cleaned and we also took in a rescue dog that was not house trained shorty after it arrived. This machine received daily use for several weeks. I shampooed my entire house and nearly every piece of furniture sometimes more than once. It removed 10+ year old stains, residual smell of pet pig and pet rat urine (iykyk), chicken coop muck and mud, grease and softball sized amounts of embedded fur. I don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed! We are seriously hard on our carpet. We live on a farm with live stock, pets and kids. I’ve bought nearly every brand of shampooer out there. All of the major brands and most popular models. This machine absolutely blew them out of the water! Our carpet is 15 years old and looks BRAND NEW! The only possible downside for some might be the smaller tank. I have a shoulder injury and don’t mind the lighter weight of this one. It cleans so well that I don’t even mind emptying the tank more frequently. My carpet is fully dry in 1-2 hours! I can’t even explain how nice it is that you can easily clean every single part of this machine. 5 stars! Highly recommend! Bravo to the people that designed this one!
