Shark StainStriker Portable Carpet, Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner, XL Tool & Self-Cleaning, Stain & Odor Remover, Perfect for Car Interior with 3 Cleaning Tools & Solution, PX225BRN, Royal Purple

The instructions are clear with easy diagrams for those that need every visual possible. Even I, set this up in a very short amount of time. Five minutes max. You simply detach the water tank, fill it with water to the first line then top it up with the signature Shark cleaning solution to the second line. You then screw the lid back on tightly and put it back in place.Next, you want to remove the Stain Striker tank and fill it with the OXY Multiplier Formula which I believe is what my carpets owe their fresh scent to. Secure the lid and put it back in place, it is all very easy. You are nearly ready to go, it is just a case of securing the tool you want to use, to the main crevice tool. To remove them, you press the small release button and it slides on and off, feeling almost magnetic. I quickly got the hang of it so I'm sure anyone would, you just need to get the angle right.I found it all very intuitive.I followed the instructions, spraying the stained areas for a few seconds holding the head level, scrubbing, and then sucking up the remnants using the extractor, which works by simply pulling the crevice tool towards you, as you press into the carpet. I often saw results instantly.As instructed for deep-set staining, I went over this using the wide tough stain tool once, leaving the solution on for 15-20 minutes or so before scrubbing again and extracting the debris.Cleaning your cleaning supplies after you've just done a load of chores feels like ugh to me, however, it is important to keep your machine in good working order and it was very easy with the StainStriker so I really can't complain. You want to unplug the machine, and pour out the dirty water from the tank, before giving it a rinse. Then all of the clear lids on the tools slide off for easy rinsing in the sink. Note 'rinse', I did not submerge anything in water. You can easily remove the cup from the pet stain-trapping tool too for a good clean. To clean the crevice tool, you attach the hose cleaning tool which is easy to slot on, you plug the machine back in, switch it on, and press the lever, running it for about a minute so that it clears out lingering debris. You can do this multiple times, depending on how bunged up yours is. You will want to remove the little black filter too and give it a rinse, everything is really well indicated in the pamphlet and I found the processes self-explanatory.There is also an orange connecting clip underneath the machine which you can remove to take out any clogged debris. I think it's probably worth doing this every time too as a little gunk and water jetted out of mine when removed. Here's a summary of its key features:* Great Quality: The cleaner appears to be well-made and durable.* Lightweight: This makes it easy to maneuver around your home.* Easy to Use: The user interface is likely straightforward and intuitive.* Compact Size: The .0.72L tank size is suitable for most cleaning tasks.* Long Cord and Hose: The 4.6m cord and 4' hose provide ample reach.* Powerful on Stains: The cleaner effectively removes stubborn stains.* Fast Drying: The carpet is left nearly dry after cleaning.* Strong Suction: The powerful suction ensures thorough cleaning.* Effective on Old Stains: The cleaner can even remove deep-seated stains.Overall, it seems like the Shark StainStriker Cleaner is a worthwhile investment for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient carpet cleaner.

Love my carpet cleaner. My dog had an accident on the carpet and we need an easy efficient way to clean it. Not only did this machine get the color out of the carpet it smelt amazing. the solution they provide smells so good. Although I bought this for the carpet I ended up using it for my car seats, couch cushions, and other smaller projects and It delivered! I also love how everything raps up nicely into a little box, so convenient.

Best carpet cleaner!! I love the attachments this cleaner comes with, for the wide messes and the super small. It’s light and I can carry it anywhere. It’s easy to put away, I wish it came with places to put the extra attachments though. It’s super easy to clean, you can clean the attachments, the hose and cleaning the tank reservoirs is super easy!

My wife has been using the Shark Carpet Cleaner Machine to clean carpets and furniture, and it has been a great purchase. It works perfectly to remove stains, odors, and pet hair, which was a constant issue in our home. The results have been really good, and the machine is easy to use, even in smaller areas like sofas and rugs.The two included cleaners do a great job, and the design is quite efficient. The three tools that come with it are very useful and fit well for different cleaning needs.The only downside we found is its size. While the machine is powerful and effective, it can be a bit difficult to store because of its size. Still, it's worth it for how well it works. We would definitely recommend it for those looking for a powerful and practical solution for deep cleaning carpets and furniture.

The Shark Stain Striker delivers exceptional performance. It comes with high-quality accessories that make tackling tough stains effortless. The self-cleaning feature is a brilliant addition—practical and hygienic. While it’s priced slightly higher than other models, the superior results justify the cost. It left my home mattress looking like new and restored my car seats to near showroom condition. I absolutely loved it.

This thing is small but mighty. Love that it is compact enough to fit on a shelf in my closet and it’s lightweight. It’s so easy to clean and traps pet hair in its own compartment for easy removal. It has a self cleaning ability which is so good for cleaning out the hose. I did my 8x10 area rug that’s in a high traffic area and my dogs’ favorite place to be. The amount of dirt this thing removed is baffling. I didn’t even realize how dirty it was until I cleaned it 🤢 The area rug dried quickly (I left the ceiling fan on high). You definitely want to make sure it’s dry before walking on it or allowing pets back on it again.

Shark is the best!! This is a super sucker cleaner! Making its way through dirt on all carpets and furniture. Easy to use and worth the price!! What more could a cleaning mama ask for!!

Suction was good and it did okay on a white fabric dog chair, didnt get it back to new. When spraying directly on the chair it got a bit messy going everywhere. The wide brush doesnt work because the spray width doesn't increase. I didnt realize you had to hold down the spray the whole time when I first got it. I'm returning and will spend additonal $$ on a more traditional carpet cleaning system.
