Shark PX201 StainStriker Portable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, Spot, Stain, & Odor Eliminator, 3 Attachments, Perfect for Pets, Carpet, Area Rugs, Couches, Upholstery, Cars & More, White

Shark Stainstriker does a great job. Very powerful suction for its size. It's small and doesn't hold a large quantity of cleaning solution or dirty water but it's fine for small clean ups on carpets and upholstery. For bigger jobs you'll just have to refill and empty frequently. I've already used it for a chair, sofa, and some carpeted steps. It's also easy to clean up the unit and attachments.

I'm now responsible for all housework and am learning the ins and outs of what has to be done and how it might be accomplished. This couple of weeks it is carpeting. Three very major stains faced me - 6 month old OJ spill, old cat having "mistakes" all over the living room (for about a year ending in Jan. '23 and my lates wife losing liquid and blood onto the dining room carpet for about 6 months last year. I spent time researching what our friends on the net do and recommend. I came to the conclusion no machinery was necessary and went to work with vinegar, water and baking soda. It worked well But not well enough so I bought this machine. Cleaning the stains twice with the machine and twice with the vinegar, etc. solution, the cleaning effort was a big success. I am using the machine on my recliner - 8 years old, used daily, never cleaned. First effort was not impressive but the second looks like it made a great difference. I am going to give it a third try. So far I like the machine very much it works as it is suppose to. It is well designed (I'm an engineer and it isn't easy to impress me), I dont like being on my hands and knees to use Sharp's good machine but we aren't all in our mid-eighties with old knees! Again, machine impressed me. It has been working quite well - used for three hours a day for 4 days so far. How clean it will make your carpets will depend, of course, how bad the stain is and how hard you will work to minimize it.

This machine is powerful and easy to assemble and use. It’s a good value for the money and makes cleaning small areas convenient. There’s no leaking of the chemicals around the base and the spray is confined to a small area without overspray to damage the surface around the area being cleaned.I have a short haired dog who sheds very much and even though I vacuum or sweep every day, some hair does remain in the rugs. I noticed that not as much liquid was in tho return area. When cleaning the hose, I saw that the end of the hose was very full of dog hair. Next time I will check the hose several times and clean it if needed while cleaning the area. This little machine is very powerful. I have always had great service and reliability from anything I’ve purchased from this brand and will continue to recommend Shark products! They make my life easier and my money go further.

I always appreciate a device that I don't have to constantly refer back to the instructions to work. The Shark Upholstery Cleaner not only gives you clear instructions in the manual, but puts instructions right on the machine. There are three removable pieces: the main input tank, secondary input tank for booster fluid, and outflow tank. All come free in one quick move and return to place just as easily. The suction is very strong and the sprayer releases just the right amount of fluid so as not to soak your fabric. It's very efficient at removing the dirt. When I emptied the tank the water was totally black. I had no idea my sofa was that filthy! I was surprised at how far one tank of cleaner goes. That's important, because the one downside of this unit is the cost of replacement cleaning fluid. The unit is compact and very lightweight, which I appreciate. It stores easily in a corner of my closet. Shark has done it again--offering an excellent product at a reasonable price.
